    M1031 pto dash light

    The voltage to the actuator varies to keep generator speed constant despite load. The fuel solenoid is on the injection pump, the pink wire. When the transfer case is in any gear but neutral, current flows as normal to the solenoid. When the transfer is in neutral, current flows through the...

    What modifications should I do for my 1009?

    I nearly have the turn signal wiring diagram memorized. Going to be rough on the neck getting to the flasher relay. We can work on it when Tim is busy with his most important role.

    What modifications should I do for my 1009?

    The rest of the week is for ME ;). No shopping, no wrenching, no welding. Eat, drink and SLEEP. Oh, and hunt. Next week we can repair the scratches and rust on the metal. Won't be pretty with that red primer but it will be ready for paint. Before ANY painting, the body work has to be...

    What modifications should I do for my 1009?

    Cliff, you would have to fill the bed of the 1028 with unmarked random US currency to get me to spin wrenches today. Not only did we work on Tim's 1009, I spent the better part of the day wrenching on my civy wheels. Lower control arm bushings on a VW Mk IV. One of the captive nuts welded...

    Different shift pattern in regards to driving style?

    You just blew the carbon out. And left some on the road. The tires took the brunt of the damage.

    What modifications should I do for my 1009?

    For those wondering...yes, the brakes just needed bleeding. I have a Motive Products Power Bleeder, it worked great. While the engine eventually started, it had 4 glow plugs from a HMMWV and 4 burned out proper CUCV glow plugs. So I got a set of Bosch Duratherms and suitably modified them to...

    MEP -002A Fuel Pump Needed, or not?

    The injection pump NEEDS constant flow to cool and to keep prime. If you dead end the injection pump at the end of a pressurized line, there is no means to prime the system. With return to day tank, any air will be purged. Run pumps as designed and a return fuel line to the storage tank. But...

    CUCV Throttle Vacuum Valve Adjustment

    18" Hg. If the vacuum is high all the time, shifts will be sluggish. Hard shifts are a sign of vacuum leakage or modulator fail, not regulator issues. The TH400 is designed for a gasoline engine which has high vacuum at idle and coast, medium vacuum at mid power and low vacuum at high power...

    Turn signal stalk needed

    Ok, I might not have been explicit. RockAuto has the 22510144 AC Delco part number which is black for $31.79. All of LMCs stuff is a generic part number and quite a bit more. As far as I can tell, the sole difference is color, the Rockauto part being black where the stock is chrome plated...

    Turn signal stalk needed

    Ok, I have searched the -34P for this part, number 22510143 and tried to cross-reference over to Rockauto and came up with nothing. Sure, they have the stalk, actually several of them but no AC Delco part number match. Furthermore, there are pulse wipers, I guess that isn't an option. What is...

    This thing won't warm up!

    I suppose you have a heater. These bypass the thermostat and can keep the engine cool when not going very fast.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Finally sprung my M1031 from the auto and truck show downtown. Snagged a non-working Robotool (24 volt 3/4" impact wrench) so it was worth it. Broken cord, easy fix :grd:

    Help with Death Shake/Wobble

    Sway bars are lateral differential springs, plain and simple.

    CUCV Parts

    One question answered per post...:popcorn: The CDR is located on the right bank valve cover, sort of. It is golden in color and about 3" in diameter with two hoses attached to it.

    CUCV Parts

    Think of the CDR valve as a heavy-duty positive crankcase valve. Since it is a diesel engine, there is no intake manifold vacuum to pull the crankcase gases into the intake. If crankcase gases are not purged, there can be serious deposits in the engine and poor oil life. Other symptoms of a...

    Mep 002 supposed tomhold Hz with varying load??

    This drop in engine speed (and output frequency) under load is droop, a function of the governor. Because of the limitations of mechanical governors, you either have droop or hunting. Hunting is variation of engine RPM after load is removed. This causes frequency to oscillate for several...

    overcharging problem

    Check the fusible links from the 2-wire connector's red wire on both. Unplug the two-wire connector and measure the voltage with engine off with respect to ground. Should be front battery voltage for the left alternator, both battery voltage for the right alternator. If zero volts, the...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    I looked at my M1031 today. Opened the doors. But couldn't do anything, it is at a car and truck show on display with less than 1/4 tank full and fully disconnected batteries. I am a sad panda. I get to spring it from its slumber on Sunday, at 1930 hours or later.

    rust on fuel tank 'filter screen tube' M818

    Take it out and clean it. That is a reaction from water, fuel and air on the tin-lead coating. The strainer has another purpose, it can be pulled out and twisted to lock in the up position, reducing splashing. With current diesel, this also reduces foam triggered premature cut-off. But WATCH...

    Calling all Generator Owners

    Does it have oil? Check the pressure relief spring and ball, it can stick open. You will have to pull the engine.
