    Priming T/C Oil Pump

    I am trying to prime my transfer case oil pump, following the instructions in the TM. I can pull a steady flow of oil through with a suction gun but all I can get by manually actuating the pump is a dribble. Is this normal or should I be able to get a steady flow manually? Thanks

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    My goal is to have it cranking by the weekend, I have to jerry rig a fuel supply as my tanks are off. I'm going to crank it off the slave cable for power. I would love to have a FMTV but for now I'll have to settle on the old goat.

    timing M-37

    Sounds like you did it right, check the spark plug wires to make sure they are in the correct firing order. With #1 at TDC check to see if the rotor button is pointing at the #1 spark plug lead on the cap.

    60amp 24v no to little charge

    If no voltage at the wire you need to trace it back, I'm not familiar with your wiring but you need to find the source of 24 volts to this wire. It is possible that the switch is bad. To test the alternator you could use a test lead and connect the 24+ at the alternator and the sense wire at...

    60amp 24v no to little charge

    There is a 24v sense wire going to the alternator, if I remember correctly you should see battery voltage at that wire with the ignition on. If you have voltage at the wire with the switch on and have cranked the adjust screw all the way up then I would say the alternator is bad.

    Goat lubrication

    I have been able to grease all of mine with a standard grease gun. I did grind a flat face on one side of the end to make it fit easier in some places and use a flexible hose. I did change out a few fittings to 90 degree to make it easier as well on the outer center axle u joints. It is a...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Tailgate blasted and primed, it was a NOS unit that had sat in a wet box and got rusty. She shows some pitting in the recess but the tools should cover most of it. Seems strange an all aluminum truck would have a steel tailgate, the choice of steel sure wasn't for strength.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    The lower front left fender bracket was missing/ripped off so I had to fabricate one. I made a cardboard template from the RH bracket and used it to trace one out on a section of damaged goat fender. Bent it in the vice using some heat from a propane torch along the edge, I'm quite happy with...

    There is a used one on ebay for sale item 172217259874, but as I look at it there are two in the picture, you want the one on the left, might ask him first which is for sale. It's a buy it now so I don't believe I am breaking any rules posting the item number, if I am moderators please delete it.

    Goat Project

    Before I spent more time or money on the transmission I would evaluate the condition of the rest of the drive train. Drain each and check for water and look inside the best you can for rust. Check the engine to see if it is free and if coolant is in the oil. Pull the inspection plug on the...

    Nice Tom, I would contact the fire department to see if they know the condition of the unit.
