Matt S look at the drivers side alternator and check to see if the charging post, red wire is tight and post does not spin and insulator is complete, not broken. Same with black post, isolated ground, check alternator and ground strap to intake bolt. Simple to check out, if you turn key and it...

The Fastest!?

Thank You Curtisje I would, will stay with how the manufacturer designed the charging system.

Not to disparage the op thread any more but matt why would the manufacturer isolate the ground on the drivers side if the truck did not need it? After all I would like to know if a standard alt. will work to charge the battery by just case grounding. Is that what you are implying? Yes matt...

Back at ya, does she Roll?

Did you paint flat black or acquire like that?

My CUCV has the isolated ground on the DRIVERS SIDE alternator. But maybe the CUCV TM's will show different. I hope my 1008A1 is not wired wrong.:shock: If it is the gremlins must have done it.

I am not familiar with a popping battery, what is that? Have you cleaned the 2 wire plug brown and red wire, that is on top rear side of the alternator? Corrosion, oil usually takes place here and the connection get weak. Some times I have to unplug and clean or just plug back in and light...

Try and replace bulb with new one if you have not to make sure.

I would bet that would fill a swimming pool pretty FAST.

I believe that is a functional pan with a magnetic drain plug and is painted black, for 20 bucks.

Well I see that you are in a traveling mood, why not a caravan. :tank: Convoy!

Have you checked out the wire connections to see if it is just a little corrosion, at the tank or it is just the gage itself?

Or you can put a longer flash hider on.

Welcome from Missouri! Do you fish also?

Dana 70 pinion bearing preload 20-40 inch pounds new pinion nut torque 220-280 ft.lbs If you are, should use new pinion nut go ahead and use blue Loctite anyway. And after a heat cycle put on gloves and grab pinion and see if there is any movement in the bearing. You may have caught it in...

The 7.3 is another good choice but heavy pig iron on the front end will make the truck front heavy, and require a large radiator. I do like the idea. What year is the M37 and how are you going to use the truck?

I would swap in a last forever 318. Build to be a torque, grunt type engine. In my opinion the 318 is one of the most underrated engines ever for dependability. Oh the stories I could tell. Poly head A engine for the time frame or later 60's to early 70's LA engine for easier engine, parts...
