I too think a 6.2 Humvee powerpak for 3K is seriously overpriced. Almost to the point of being funny. Yes the long block is usable for a cucv. You can even use the 24V IP. If you wire it using a relay from the 24V side. The 90 deg oil filter housing on the Humvee engine un bolts and is...
Yes you are correct. There is two different backing plates. One for the CW pump and one for the CCW pump. You can use your original 6.2 backing plate with no problems. It will bolt to any 6.2 or 6.5 timing chain cover. You can even use the bolts. They are also the same. I have done this...
I used a Milodon 16406 thermostat from Summit Racing. For the switch I used Switch number 8037024 from Fanclutch.com You have to cut the wires off of the old switch and use connectors or soder them onto the new switch. Now mine never gets hotter than 195 and no more worries about blown head...
If the thermostat you used is a 195 then It should not drop below that. Even if the fan runs all the time the thermostat will close and hold the temp. I think you have a caddy valve problem and or a module problem. They are the round valve and little black box mounted on the drivers side right...
I know of a M1010 with a electric Humvee winch mounted behind the bumper. He mounted the plate upside down from the top of the rails. He had to fab a little because of the shape of the frame. I was impressed with how clean the install was. The truck looks stock except for the roller fairlead...
Good info, I have the sheet on mine also. It's a little different. Mine Is a A1 so it came with the 205 TCASE. Oh yea, All CUCV trucks were built in Flint. Someone posted pics of them coming down the line with civi trucks a few years ago.
Let me see if I can help you understand. It's because we have all read your posts. WE GET IT! we completely understand your position. As a matter of fact I agree with you. I have shared this in other posts where I posted pics of the never style head gaskets and the coolant passages in the...
In theory the thermostat should keep the engine around 190. The lower rad hose should be warm but not hot when driving. But when it can't dissipate the heat the fan should engage around 210. The fan should not come on at 165. The fan is controlled by the engines heat. Not the rad. So the rad...
I'm sorry I don't have a part number. I got it from the local rad shop. They ordered it for me. Everything fit perfect. The tranny cooler is on the drivers side and the engine cooler is on the passenger side. Just like the stock one. This one holds a extra gallon of coolant. The tanks are much...
Yea that's about right. You never get it all out. Do you have a tractor supply in your area? They carry Rotella Diesel concentrate coolant. It's in a black jug. About $12 a gallon down here. Using what you have, I know it would be a waste but you could drain and refill twice to get the mixture...
The bigger fan and rad came from towing in 100+ deg heat in south Texas. It can get pretty warm here and I'm not comfortable running a GM diesel above 200. I know guys do it all the time. I have never had a head gasket failure or cracked a block/heads keeping them at 180 to 200 deg. With the...
There is still coolant in the block. If you took out a freeze plug it will drain. I would flush it. There is always rust/sand from casting in there. The more you get out, the longer the water pump seal will last.
I have successfully towed my Shibaura SD 5040 tractor to job sites for years. With the loader/brush hog,tools and 24FT utility trailer it comes in just under 12,000. The trailer has surge brakes. I stay less than 50MPH and live in a flat area. I had to install a bigger rad and 6 blade 20 inch...
DO NOT TIGHEN BOLTS UNTILL ALL ARE INSTALLED!!. You will need to be able to push and pull to get all the bolt holes to line up. Also you will need to be able to push one side or the other up or down to make the bumper align/square with the bottom of the tailgate. Other wise it may look crooked.
The 3/8 hose mounted at the thermostat going to the overflow tank will bleed the air from the block. As long as it is not plugged up. When you added water the air should have been forced out. So long as you didn't over fill the tank and block off that hose with water. There could be a air...
The multi fuel piston has a bowl shape in the top. Thinner fuel like gas or solvents when injected into the cylinder will "puddle" in this bowl. Since they are thinner they will squirt and not vaporize. The fuel density compensator on the back of the IP will increase the fuel rate so the driver...
