    Fuel issues

    Driver side engine by the harmonic damper. But unless you have a diesel pickup timing light.. The noise will get bad before the timing is impacted..indirect injection has a wide window. Guess I will look for an old school diesel timing light.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Used the 1031 to go on a parts run for the daily driver. Which was an excuse to drive a few miles. Tested my heater control valve, half open is still plenty warm.

    Fuel issues

    How many miles on the odometer? Any chain slap noise from the timing chain cover? This is noticeable at idle speed when the timing chain set is worn. This will delay injection timing, causing the white smoke and other symptoms. Timing is advanced when cold, when the engine warms, the timing...

    CDR Valve

    Perfect test method. It is a pressure regulator so a diaphragm and spring work together. Most common failure is rupture of the diaphragm, second is plugging. When the diaphragm fails, there will be oily dirt around the vent hole. Plugged CDR will cause oily dirt around the vented oil fill...

    M1009 engine difference

    The only differences are the injector pump internals. Most vehicles have had the injector pumps swapped. That is on the engine side. There are some differences on prop shafts and driveline components on the M1009 side.

    6.2 and how much Timing Chain Slack or stretch is “normal” ?

    You inspect when you have it apart. You know it should be replaced when the chain slaps the cover. You can hear it.

    looking for brake parts CUCV 1984 M1009

    Parts manuals are the -20P and 34P. The-20 is the unit maintenance so it covers most brake parts. Be sure to follow the correct UOC number, this is the Used On Code for the various models...yours is an M1009 so the UOC is 209. This is all covered in Section 1, paragraph 5 of the parts TM...

    Very strange gen 2 problem

    The 2 relays by the starter relay are for the blackout light system. You have to take the dash cover to see the alternator relay. Trace the voltmeter wires to find it. Since this relay is energized on run to enable the right side alternator, it gets warm. It doesn't draw much through the...

    Water Pump Bolt / Crossover Pipe

    The timing cover to engine block and water pump to timing cover are sealed with an anaerobic acrylic sealant gel. Similar chemistry as anaerobic thread locking products, only in a gel formulation. Heat is your ally here. I've used it for multiple purposes. Best thread sealant if you don't...

    What is this part- where can I obtain it, or should I make one?

    14071080? Figure 31 in the -34P. You have to see what it first secures to the engine. That would be the coolant pump. I was the unofficial CPL Joe Bowers..

    Whoa Buddy !

    Instead of fiddling with injection quantity, why not add methanol at wide open throttle? Yes, you will need a big tank. This could be used instead of intercooler..blowers are horribly inefficient and that means heating the air instead of pressurization. There is a reason all 4 stroke...

    What is this part- where can I obtain it, or should I make one?

    The reason that part isn't in the-20P is it is a direct support part..look at the SMR code, if the third character is F, it is direct support. All organization level parts are O. Example, PAOZZ is organization while PAFZZ is direct support. I had time to research..figure 31 in the -34P...

    Whoa Buddy !

    Realize at those numbers, that blower is going to consume 25 Hp at 3600 RPM..proportional to engine speed regardless of throttle. Meaning boost when not needed which dilutes part throttle cylinder temperature.. Gasoline engines get away with a blower either with a bypass or having the blower...

    Whoa Buddy !

    Going to be real busy at the front main bearing with v belt drive.

    Starter Question

    Make sure you have the right bracket..Hillbilly Wizard has them. Even though the 28MT is lighter, the bolts still will break if omitted because the pinion dynamic forces put a bending load on the bolts. Remember, three points define a plane, two points a line.

    28MT Starter

    I wish I could find one..domestic made. They spin faster with less current draw. I have the bracket. The big benefit is half the weight.

    Very strange gen 2 problem

    Alternators get warm so it might be a voltage regulator intermittent issue.

    Dog fish update??

    First, download the technical manuals, I recommend the TM9-2320-289-34. The wiring diagrams are in appendix E. The ignition switch is on the steering column. Test the switch for function of 12 volts to the solenoid terminal .Trace the solenoid terminal on the switch to the solenoid you...

    Starter Question

    The Bendix solenoid for a 24 volt is a 24 volt winding. If they used a 12 volt, it will burn out fast

    Gen 1 Light Romantic Glow

    Each alternator is 12 volt, charged one battery. There is no need to have identical alternators. The romantic glow is probably from a bum ground.
