I have a pto np205 in my M1031 which I have to change the fluid this week. I'm pretty sure it calls for Dexron II, not gear oil.

Major design/service downfall with GM, AAM, and Dana axles. Toyota, Nissan, and Land Rover axles are much easier to service even though they are closed knuckle designs. Mercedes are on the outside but those Germans put the spindle on the wheel hub...must do things backwards. Make sure you have...

I finished up my shackle flip, bled the brakes with my uber cool $30 a quart DOT5 brake fluid, dropped the vehicle weight on the suspension to tighten all of my fasteners up, and put my wheels on. The truck now has a great stance, very proportional to to the truck and tire size. This is how...

MV Multiplication...unknown cure other than to buy more:grin: Can I ask what the difference between caps is? I started looking at 6.2 photos online and it seems that each type of cap is used. You say that it is some type of pressure cap. It does look like a small radiator cap. I am unfamiliar...

I would first spend money to have someone put it on a modern alignment rack to see what each tire looks like. If you have zero toe instead of slight toe in, this aggravates the problem. Plus you will see if you have any setback, caster, or camber issues. If all numbers are in the green or at...

Thankyou, I'm digging the M1031. Makes me want to go out and get an M1009 for a DD. I have to wait for the girlfriend to accept this one before I go out and surprise her with another:) I looked up on RockAuto two oil filler caps. The one for an 84' K30 6.2 is: More Information for STANT 10066...

I do plan on keeping it. I originally wanted to get rid of the entire PTO generator setup but have decided to rewire it for single phase 120/240v and sell my Honda 5kW gas gennie. This way I can run pretty much anything I need including my house. I will pick up a small inverter camp gennie for...

I figured I will have to trim. Did you need to cut the front or rear part of the fender? I chose not to do a zero rate and push the axle forward because I am planning on keeping the stock steering for awhile until more funds become available. I have a real lift, it will only lift vehicles...

I didn't get much done today. I first did some engine service including replacing all of the coolant hoses, installing a new thermostat, and fixing a coolant crossover tube leak at the cylinder head. I used this as an opportunity to flush out the engine, radiator, and heater core with water...

I would highly suggest paying more than you want for purchase price to get one that has been well kept. If you buy some junker thinking you'll pick it up cheap and fix it, you will be time and money ahead to just spend alittle more now. Obviously don't stretch yourself too thin if you can't...

If you have a few hundred bucks kicking around, look up the mini ductor. Great tool for heating up metal parts without burning near by items. I use it all the time on under car stuff without worrying about burning a fuel tank, line, or seals. Works great for heating up steering box nuts and...

Sounds like the cluster is powering up even with the key off. Does the 4wd light come on to if you shift the tcase? Could be a bad ignition switch. I'd say look at the TM and figure out what wire powers the cluster and see if it has power with the key off.

Thanks! This truck looks cleaner and cleaner the more I take apart. The only rust I could find was a small nickel sized spot on the drivers floorboard and some surface rust on the front right wheel well. I think someone exploded a battery or something because one tray and underneath it has some...

Tough to tell, will need a closer picture. Sounds like you need some time with your CUCV until it ia ready for the road. I like to break things down into phases to keep the resurrection process going steady. Phase 1 I like to call major surgery. This would include tearinf down that whole...

If you shut it off and it wont refire right after, sounds like a fuel issue. My glowplug setup didnt work and my rig would restart without issues until it sat long enough to cool down.

I managed to squeeze the tank onto my assymetrical 9000lb. lift which makes me scared. That is why I chose not to tackle this job with the truck over my head. I did put my vacuum system on my smoke tester and turns out my vacuum valve is smoking worse than a typical high school kid. I'm not...

I got the truck to the school and first order was to put some new belts on. The Wiki has some conflict on what belts to use being that some of them will never be tight enough. I think that if your PS belt is too loose, your driver side GEN will never be tight enough either. I also did a resistor...

I picked up my M1031 a few weeks ago. All of my orders have come in with parts so now onto the build. First stage was to get it running. This required new glow plugs (or atleast the 6 new ones are working better than just 2 old ones), crimping new wider glow plug terminals with some shrink wrap...

I was tracking down charging issues which turned out to be bad connections on my GEN lights but mine look the same as yours. Time to make my first order with CUCV Electric. "Yes, keep my credit card and address on file" :shock: One of my alternators is still charging alittle on the high side...
