I replaced my oil cooler lines last weekend, and my starter went out the first day, so I didn't have much drive time with the oil cooler lines replaced. When I did replace them, I could not for the life of me discern which hose went to which location on the cooler connections at the radiator...

Update. I put the starter in, got everything bolted down tight, and the drive wheel on the starter wouldn't even fit into the teeth on the flywheel. So I pulled everything back off, replaced the original shim that had been in there, bolted it all back up, starter bracket and all, and it cranked...

I bought several bolts at Lowe's last night. This worked for me, found it listed on another thread here on SS: grade 8, 1/2" hex head, 5/16x18 thread. Since it's not a combination bolt/stud I don't have to worry about the nut, but not sure what the overall depth of the new bolt should be...

Got it. Thanks for the replies! Sounds like I'm going to leave off the shim at first, pull the dust shield and see how it looks. If it's good then put it all back together and see how she works. Now I need to go find the starter bracket to engine bolt/nut combination from some hardware store...

My starter on my M1028 died over the weekend. I checked voltage, wires, etc, everything was fine. I removed the ACDelco 28MT 12V starter that the PO had installed a decade or more ago. Based on the way it looks and after reading that some folks replace them more frequently than I plan to, I...

Sorry, I should have added that if I turn the parking/driving lights completely off, everything works fine again. The left blinker will immediately return to normal operation, and the fuel gauge will gradually return to normal/correct operation. I can't test the high beam indicators since the...

I have a 1986 M1028 that I bought a few weeks ago. There were some bulbs out in the dash cluster, so I removed everything, changed all of the bulbs, cleaned the plastic/metal circuit board contacts, put dielectric goop in all of the bulb sockets, and put everything back together. I also did the...

Thank you all for the responses and suggestions. I've replaced the belts, have a new HO alternator arriving tomorrow (I know, backwards, but a belt broke), and everything else looks pretty good for now. I have to mees with the tie rods and pitman arm up front, because they are showing...

Greetings, fellow CUCV owners. I just bought a 1986 M1028 with 39k mi on it. I've driven them in the Marine Corps before, but this is my first time owning one. Paint and body are not in the best shape, and I will need to replace the wheels/tires pretty soon. Outside of normal age related...
