I’m pretty sure it is on the defrost end and just twist lockers into place.

No problem. I share your aversion to heat. I spent most of my high school years trying to keep a 1967 Austin Cooper S alive. Heat, it always comes down to too much heat. The Mini is currently in pieces while I wait for the machine shop to do some work. Heat again a few years ago. Which...

1976 Cadillac had the Delco 27SI alternator. That is the size case but Cadillac didn’t have isolated ground. Whatever you do don’t turn in your originals as a core. I purchased a kit off ebay a few months ago and it worked fine. Forum member Tow4 at one time also sold kits. Sending him a PM...

Time for some more updates. A year ago on a cross country trip I experienced some high Exhaust Gas Temperature readings at high speeds on steep grades. I wrote a lot about it in this thread and started with timing changes to make things better. Which they did. I have not messed with the IP...

Post #165 in this thread is where I write about it: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1007-cucv-suburban-clone-build-thread.74514/page-9 Basically, it can be done. However, to get the full weight rating for the pintle hook I think it will be very tough in a M1009 due to the fuel tank...

It isn't in the way unless you like pulling the vacuum pump or messing with the oil psi sender. So, it can stay on the truck for the original look if you like. Having written that I pulled the non used resistor off both of my M1009 trucks and wired my M715 just like a CUCV without the...

I have a NV4500 behind the 6.2 non turbo engine in my M715. Same basic weight as a M1009 but totally different gears. 5.87 compared to the 3.08. I have to agree that the 4L80E is much better for driving with a low power engine. Especially with any kind of load or trailer. Plus, the NV4500...

Sorry, I took too long to write the same thing you already discussed.

It reads like two different issues. Possible glow plug or two or three bad to cause the greasy white smoke and rough start up. Then is reads like fuel is either not getting to your IP or is leaking from your IP once it gets there and the IP lost its prime. Here is the dilemma. You need the...

A power probe won't push the starter or solenoid to work. They aren't made for that kind of a load. It will let you test the power to the big stud and if the purple wire on the small S terminal is getting power to the solenoid when the key is put into the start position. That is the kind of...

My cooler is hooked up different than yours if I understand what you wrote correctly. I have radiator cooler to a stand alone cooler and then back to the transmission. 100° outside running down the highway locked my transmission control module tells me the fluid is 166° to 168°. I have...

Glad the issue went away. Where to set the 4th gear lock up is a question I have been playing with for a while on my 4L80E in my 6.5 powered Suburban. When I first started driving the truck I set it to 44 because a lot of my daily commute is in 45, 50 and 55 speed zones. Need to get that...

How did it do? Mine fired up like it was summer time yesterday morning at 25°.

I don't have a tailwheel endorsement either. But I want one. Back to the truck issue. When I first read your original post my thought process went to idle speed just a hair too low. Others had jumped in with torque converter thoughts and I didn't post anything. Reading through the thread...

Well, that is a loaded question. If the light come on it means the shaft has moved. It doesn’t’t mean 4x4 is engaged. Your linkage to the shaft could be out of adjustment to get 4x4 all the way engaged. Or, the little plastic pads on the shift forks could be worn or totally missing. Either will...

Sorry for the short reply last night. I was tired and just did the basics. I think you have the aluminum NP208. You didn’t state though. The NP208 has a single shift shaft that changes front axle engagement first and then neutral and finally low range. The sensor for the light has a spring...

The sender for the light is on a shift rail inside the transfer case. Which means the light comes on if the shift rail has been moved. Nothing to do with the front axle.

The vent in the filler neck is a 1 inch hose. It can be removed by crawling under the truck behind the rear tire. Since the hose is close to 40 years old. I would suggest looking at it, figuring out how much new hose get, get it and then cut off the old stuff. LMC has all of this hose. There...

A stock CUCV has no wire in the tailgate. Someone added them and our guess is as good as your about what they do or where they go.

Your injectors in the picture look nice and dry. No leaks there. Just the normal valve cover seep.
