So, what do you do in Montana when it's 0F out? Fire up the deuce of course! Went for a quick drive on the frontage road. Determined a personnel heater would be nice for such occasions, but the truck did awesome. I really enjoy these trucks. Nothing like having a little ground clearance! When...

Just curious if the starter and generator on these were originally OD or were they painted black?

Jeez I thought you were gonna post a pic of the hardtop on the truck-haha just teasing! Had a blast driving you m135!

The windshield on yours is a 3A windshield, someone, somehow divided it. As you can see from these pics, the cj-2a windshield is split, with a flat panel beneath the windshield. A 3A windshield has raised panels and has a solid piece of glass

Thanks USMC. I was curious about that TM. Page 201 shows rebuilding the king pin bearings or trunion bearings as the TM calls them. Page 201. Rather then using a fish scale to check pre-load of the bearings they recommend using a torque wrench as the knuckle turns. Nice to have manual to look at!

Check the king bearings-I'm not sure on these trucks if it happens frequently, but on a big truck, bad king pin bearings will do that. Jack the front end up and grab the tire top and bottom; rock it back and forth and see how much give there is. Have a helper look and see if you have loose wheel...

While this is an electrical thread, this video is applicable to the neat-ness of the g749. It amazes me that this truck really is water tight electrical wise! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xuHVINx6Otk that last canoe started paddling a little faster!

thats why I'm thinking it would be neat to have a parts source to service them. What did the plate run you?

I would suspect the parts to overhaul one to come in significantly less. As long as the fields and armature are okay the majority of serviceable parts shouldn't be too much. Famous last words. I'll go through the excercise of rebuilding one of each just for fun of it, then we'll know for sure...

I've got some old motor manuals that show how to go through and check the components when rebuilding a starter/generator. I can scan them as I get going on this and post them. I'm thinking some day the government rebuilds will be gone and it wouldn't hurt to have the rebuild parts/part #'s-if...

gimpyrobb-Its got the GMC 302 gas. Delco Remy starter number 1108581 according to the TM

So, after screwing around with a G749 that needs a starter this past week(WE think anyhow-Thanks to USMC), I've started to wonder how readily available parts were for the starters and generators for these old beasts. I've checked a few parts sources that wholesale electrical components of this...

it looks to be civilian-cj2a is a best guess but could be a 3a. Check the data tag on the firewall to the left of the air cleaner as you are standing looking at the engine. That will say what the body aerial is and model number. Fixing it is just a matter of how much money it takes. Jeeps in my...

As my grandpa would say, the invention of 4x4 was the worst thing that happened to people who drove in adverse conditions...why? Cause then people thought they could go anywhere! Wish he was still around...I never did get his take on if the invention of the 6x6 was good or not! Mother nature has...

Also, attached is the crank specs on the 302 so if someone decides to rebuild an engine and they need to know whether they need to go the next undersized bearing or not here it is...

correction-697M on the first main bearing

Federal Mogul Engine Part#s not sure if they are discontinued yet or not... Rod brgs...1905CP Main bearing set...two listed, I believe they are the first...967M or 4030M Cam bearing Set...1094M

Thanks rusty stud. We serviced a fleet of buses, that were all modern(replaced on a schedule) and serviced the air dryers frequently, on a schedule. We however, when the mercury dropped to -20- -30F, always had problems with one or two. We also used to work on a lot of over the road trucks. I...

I remember people bringing trucks back in the 90s and have to convert odometers/speedometers.

Do those purple taters have really white meat and yield well? My grandpa gave me some a number of years back and they yielded incredibly. Some were large enough to feed two families! They did keep quite as well, but you were hungry for a long time cause there was so many of them. Im curious on...
