Craig, There is a guy named ben in groves that i have bought a few CUCV engines from. I can't rember the street name but he is just down the street from TOTAL. PM me and i'll get you his number.
I just finished installing my new engine about two hours ago. It runs great, But the passenger side freeze plug behind the motor mount is leaking water. Looks like i've got alot more wrench turning to do.
As far as running it in the storm goes. Mine ran the house during hurricane ike. It's a wonder it didn't drown. And then the community water well for two weeks after my house power came back on. It was uncovered in the back of my M105, and never skipped a beat. Just get plenty of diesel. I...
Mine has the NP205 T-case. I removed the tailshaft and installed a older style with the yoke bolted to the shaft. I had a new driveshaft made, with the stub and slip yoke to replace the forklift dented one. Next the pinion bearings.
Get someone to slightly turn the steering wheel back and forth. While you get under the front ans inspect the tierod ends and leafspring bushings. Also whach the kingpin bushings to see if they just rotate like they are sopposed to. Or if the move in a way they shouldn't. That way you can...
You should see a small increase in milage. I gained 3MPG. And you will not see much difference in backpressure. The original exaust is very restrictive. I installed one on my 82 K2500 gmc ten years ago. First i will tell you from a machinist point of view the banks kit is a piece of crap. The...
The line on the pump itself should be on the drivers side of the line on the timing housing.
When the lines are touching eachother it should be firing at #1 top dead center. If your pump's line is on the passenger side. It is firing late. And reducing your power output. If your timing chain...
Go buy 4, 3/8-16 by 4 1/2 inch grade eight bolts. Put these bolts in where the original bellhousing bolts go. Then when you slide the tranny back you will have enough room to change the flywheel with out having to realign the tranny to the engine. Just slide the tranny back the 4 inches and...
Look at the flange where the IP bolts to the timing gear/chain housing. Make sure the scribed line in the IP is just to the drivers side of the line scribed in the timing housing. I have seen these on the passenger side, if it is the timing is retarded and won't make much power. Also i agree...
I have swapped these around for years. The difference between a C code and a J code is the EGR. The J doesen't have one. If you have a 6.2 with a serp belt you can easily swap all the Mil parts onto it. And you will have to swapp the water pump out. They turn different directions. It will...
Thanks for the reply, I believe the horn button is working ok. I tried running a wire down into the socket and then grounding it to the steering shaft. Nothing. Then i swapped the horn button from my civi truck that is known to work. And still nothing. I have power at the relay. Mabye i'll jump...
You could run the correct sized cable to the positive side of the first battery. I purchased a 24V inverter on the internet. It's 800watts. I went this route because i wanted to use the power from the second alt. And not have the first alt do all the work. Just google 24V inverter there are...
I'm tring to get the horn working to pass a saftey inspection. I have power to the steering wheel and i replaced the horn relay. If i run a hot wire to the horn itself it works. I tried a search and found warthogs pics on the relays and diodes. If i remove the diode in the harness in the pics...
