Are you talking about the injector line clamp that bolts to the bracket on the valve cover?

I have never taken a micrometer to the frames. But, there is always an online argument it seems about how a 3/4 ton frame is just a hair thicker than a 1/2 ton frame with the 1 ton frame being even thicker yet. Since you have both there together. Look at the frame ends and try to see if they...

I have to write this. When I saw your location all I could think of is driving south on I-75 and that climb once you cross the river. There is a similar grade and distance climb in Oklahoma. I was down to 12 mph on the interstate, wide open throttle, black smoke billowing and actually proud of...

Black smoke means too much fuel. Or, not enough air. How is your air filter? Snap-On makes a special injector socket for the 6.2/6.5. A 32 mm open end will work sometimes. The injector lines seal to the injectors or the injection pump with a very fine tolerance fit. A single spec of dirt will...

I know you wrote that you are still getting air. However, my thought process went to brake shoe minor and major adjustment because you changed out the wheel cylinders. Your description of a low firm pedal the first push, then higher and finally firm and high to me read like the air is out and...

When you switch between hi and low do you get a crisp click or more a stirring butter into oatmeal sensation? It is very easy to test. 3 wires, headlight power in, to the high beams and to the low beams. Jumping from the hot wire with the light switch on to either of the others is fine. That...

How does your key turning action feel? Sometimes they get gummed up and hold the starter on just an instant after you let go. The fast starting is something your muscle memory gets used to.

If you don’t want to drop the transmission and transfer case. People have had success putting 6 inch long bolts or studs in place of the bottom 4 transmission to engine bolts. Then just slide the transmission back on the studs. You still have to drop both drive shafts, undo the shifters and...

The radiator fit in the truck perfect. I am running AN hoses for my transmission cooling. The adaptors I used on the stock radiator screwed right into the aluminum unit. I have a separate engine oil cooler in front of the radiator and don't use the in radiator one so I have no idea on that...

Yes it did lower my 70 mph 90° outside air temperature engine coolant temperature with the a/c running from 206°-208° to 201°-203°. That doesn't seem like much when I write it. However, since 203° is the temperature the 195° thermostat is fully open at. The 5 degree drop is really...

Bill Heath at Heath Diesel took a 6.5 truck to the Salt Flats a while ago and ran over 150. Twin turbo and all kinds of modifications. Many articles on the internet about his engine and truck build for that run. If you call the business during lunch time you will often get him answering the...

Texas state inspections do not verify the speed is accurate. Just that the speedometer works. So, if you can remove the adaptor and get a working speedometer by plugging directly into the transfer case. That problem is solved. The 1 ton truck and ambulance Chevy CUCV trucks all had 4.56:1...

Look at the HMMWV -20 manual. It has a great rebuild section for that starter. Very easy to do.

The military switched to the reduction gear starter so it could be "original military". Make sure the bracket is installed and tight.

I put nuts on my up down adjuster screws because the plastic just couldn’t hold against the spring tension. Haven’t thought about that problem in 11 years now. After that worked on my first truck. I just put them on the rest as a matter of course. With the shift indicator. Have you pulled the...

That is the Spartan turn signal box. It was replaced with the solid state box still used mid to late 1967. Try over on the M715 zone. Several people have upgraded to the solid state unit recently and probably still have a Spartan box sitting around. Doing the upgrade yourself isn’t all that...

It helps if the phone or tablet are in a mount.

I am also an information junkie. More gauges are better! There might be an app for a tablet or smart phone that will let you have all the things you want without cutting more holes. Aircraft spruce sells similar stuff for aviation uses. Just something to think about.

You are attempting to open THE can of worms for CUCV ownership. Well, starter relay is right there with it neck and neck. Here is why it is a can of worms: The stock system works very well. Actually better than any other system GM used on the 6.2 and 6.5 engines. The stock glow plugs and...
