    How to convert 24v Injection pump to 12v?

    Hmmn, I thought the IP was 12volt even in the CUCV's, I'm not going out to check either.

    Hard cold starts in hot weather.

    Seems like a good price on the pump, I also like the fact that they don't charge an upfront core charge and give 30 days to send it in! Around here everyone bangs you hard for the core charge.

    M1009 starter still sticking.

    Nope, that was caused by getting high centered or getting picked up by a fork lift or a jack, I wouldn't worry to much about it as long as it doesn't hit the torque converter.

    My M1008 with a damaged wing...

    I thought for sure the Ins. Co would try to total it out! If they do keep reminding them that it's NOT just a Chevy truck but a MV that's worth a lot more!

    My M1008 with a damaged wing...

    I managed to save a cab and a door after some firemen got carried away and bent the doors like that, the damage to the cab hinge piller wasn't to bad the hinges where shot and the doors frame needed a lot of massaging. Is the Rangers ins. co. paying for the damage?

    Oil Cooler Aluminum Line Leak

    Those al. lines are hard to come by but I bet CUCVUS and Hillbilly wizerd has more then a few available. For the next time.

    Squealing Belt

    Could be cheap bearings or could it be your tightening the belt to much? I've had a few CUCV's and some took different sized belts than the others, not much maybe 1/2"-1" but that can be the difference between a squeal and not squealing. I also had a civvie 6.2 that all belts I tried would wear...

    M1009 transmission service.. hopefully a bad joke?

    It's a bit late to order a drain plug kit but NAPA might have it in stock, as far as the bushing goes it dosn't look familier but I'm no tranny expert, could be a FO waiting for the D FOD =Forgn Object Damage

    Oil temperature sensor size

    I don't think I'd do that! To much chance that it would blow off or spring a leak and being that low on the tank you'd be out of coolant real quick, best to plug it with a plug or the sending unit that should be there and should work.

    Pulling engine and transmission to insulate firewall?

    I was just on the LMC web site and saw a interior insulating kit for the floor all the way front to back, of course that means carpet or some kind of floor mats

    Pulling engine and transmission to insulate firewall?

    Don't use undercoating, even 3M. I'd use a good two part bed liner sprayed on after degreasing and scuffing it. Much more durable than undercoat and it's chemically activated so you don't have to worry about heat softening it up. It costs more but with all your doing and the money you've spent...

    Pulling engine and transmission to insulate firewall?

    You misunderstood or I did explain correctly, the civvie insulating blanket mounted to the front of the firewall UNDER the hood! It extended all the way from side to and the fenders need to be removed to remove/install the blanket along with heater box/master cyl and electrical stuff. Lots of...

    Do you have the clutch/brake pedal assembly? That seems to be a tough thing to find in a bone yard IDK why. A pic of the left front of the tranny would help, it most likely is made for a hydraulic throw out bearing so you will also need the clutch master cyl. and slave cly along with the lines...

    Need a lesson on engine tempatures and cooling system.

    You NEED to get a radiator, plaine and simple. Like said above its a closed and PRESSURIZED system as the engine gets hot the coolant expands into the overflow jug, but in your case it leaks out of the holes. Then as it cools and instead of drawing the coolent BACK from the overflow jug your's...

    Pulling engine and transmission to insulate firewall?

    Civvie 6.2 trucks came with a rubber coated insulateing pad that mounted to the firewall before the heater box and master cyl was attached, if you can find one it's well worth the godl Eagles and left XXX you'll have to give for it. Front clip means just that, the WHOLE front including the...

    New project

    OH!!! I just remembered! The trucks that came factory with a 6.2 and manual tranny had a tube that is pressed into a hole in the block at the rea of the intake valley, that tube acts as a drain keeping fuel from the clutch lining if any fuel leaked from the IP or supply line and collects in the...

    ^^ and unbolt that flywheel and clean the rust off! You might be able to scrub it off with a 3M pad or sand paper or you may have to have it machined but do it. Clutches are expensive and a PIA to replace due to getting chewd up from a bad flywheel. Hyd clutch is the way to go also it may...

    M1009 rear axle seal replacement

    You do know that if the brake shoes are oil soaked (brake fluid counts too) that they need to be replaced. Some people will use brake cleaner and reuse them but if the oil has soaked in or baked in from driveing and stopping then they need replaceing.
