You will end up with shards again if you are replacing with a 10 bolt. This is a perfect time to upgrade! Plus you can justify it because your rear is about to explode...wait, that doesn't sound right.

Resistor needs to be bypassed. Wire going between resistor and solenoid needs to be redirected to the 12v post which is within reach of the wire, just install a new terminal. The solenoid is separate. If you search, there are plenty of write ups on here for both.

Wow...goes to show you any idiot can attempt to fix cars. I can't believe someone would convert a truck from 24v to 12v without changing the GP system. I could see someone putting any old solenoid in there. Amazing how things get so F'd up in 30 years. I think you are on your way. Good luck...

Puffing smoke would indicate fuel but no combustion, ie. low compression or glow plugs correct?

You want something like this: http://www.dbelectrical.com/p-8255-148-volt-regulator-delco-10si-12si-15si-17si-27si-8040-6241.aspx The picture is generic, it will not have the connections for the two wire plug. Self exciting only needs a charge wire. I will warn you that they suck but will get...

How bad do you need this thing to run and charge? If you are in a hurry, wire up those batts in parallel. Run a charge cable to the alternator, remove alternator and install a self exciting regulator. That will get you up and running. Then you have some time to figure out what was done, stay 12v...

Install all new turn bulbs and clean all connections. Mine did the same thing...it's all about back feeding from bad bulbs or poor connections. Don't overlook your hazard switch either. That connection gets gummed up over time. Cycling it a few thousand times can make it better.

More than full fuel...your CUCV is producing diesel...SWEET!!! All of those things are very true. I don't think the electrical systems are failure prone or weak. They are succeptable just like anything else to corrosion and poor connections. On a CUCV, that means twice as many charging problems...

The canvas tops are super expensive but I think a good investment. It's a shame so few people during the 80's and 90's didn't take advantage of the removable tops on the fullsize SUV's. Eventually manufacturers just phased them out. What a shame...such a cool feature. Gut the tailgate, pull the...

Wait! You have an M1031 and a CUCV clone 6.2 diesel K20 Suburban which you used to pull an M1009 that appears to be relatively untouched...can you buy me a lottery ticket and send it in the mail? You have a nice fleet...very jealous. Good luck with the new purchase. What are the plans?

Can't be done without trimming. The lift will only determine how much the fender needs to be cut. You could put an 8" lift and still need to nip the corners. Square fenders do not play well wide offset tires. If you want to minimize cutting, the zero rate really helps. That way the front half...

I got a smokin' price on full coverage but it's for a standard K30. Geico told me flat out anything extra will not be covered by the policy. This is Maine insurance. I'm going to have it appraised when I get a chance and get some antique coverage. I would estimate it is worth $8k-10 because it...

Can you buy an OEM AC Delco for a 6.5T on RockAuto?

I think you are missing the point. The insurance company doesn't care about how cool the front Dana 60 is. I understand it but the insurance company is looking at a standard KBB value. You tell them it's a CUCV and they go...yeah so K30. CUCV means nothing to them. So going by the KBB value, on...

That would be an absolute enormous win scoring alternative fuel plates to get a 6x6 in the carpool lane. I have antique Maine plates on mine 'CUCK VEE' I really would like to get 'NDALZBN' or 'CLAMSHK' for my Subaru Forester.

Guy really? Call your insurance agent and ask them how they value your truck. Unless you had it apraised or have some classic coverage, the average insurance company sees it as an 80's Chevy truck which by the book isn't worth much these days. So having full coverage on something of such low...

Kids like that should be beaten on a regular basis by there parents. If the parents don't do it...they should be beaten with a blunt object. There is a reason dogs respond to shock collars ;) Nice rig! If everything looks straight don't get bent out of shape over the salvage. These things are...

I'm telling you from first hand experience...I am using my M1031 to move this weekend. It sucks for hauling cargo, it's not built for it. Sure if it fits in the bed, go for it. Unless what you have is in boxes or totes which can be loaded easily (lifted M1031 is not cargo friendly) then it goes...

It sounds like you would best benefit from an M1028 with a shelter when you want to go camping which can be removed if you want to haul. Or just go with whatever truck floats your boat and get an M101 trailer to match. The prices I quoted are for parts only, figure your labor will probably end...

You are looking at a minimum of $1000 to do it right, probably more towards $2000 if you decide to do hi steer which is preferred if you take it offroad often. My stock push pull with a dropped pitman arm is surviving just fine on the street. I highly recommend Offroad Design for the parts, most...
