What a great wife! Welcome to the site.

I used a cut-off wheel and replaced the stud.

Just forget about it. It will probably rust away before you can get it picked up. But you already knew that.:carnac:

Are you sure it's fuel related? Pour a little gas in the carb while cranking to see if it fires.

Take it to an auto parts store that has a alternator tester. Make sure you know how the alternator and regulator needs to be connected to turn on the alternator. If the regulator needs a special plug, you may have to supply it or have an alternative way to connect it. You can call first to make...

I will be there driving the M915A1 and my wife and I will join you for pizza.

Because sometimes, you just have to.... :cool:

Joey was great to work with. He called me and coordinated a time for the driver to pick up. He also followed up and straightened out a misunderstanding with the trucking company. He called me the following day to make sure the pickup had been made. If I ever need anything big shipped, I will...

Unless you have lockout hubs, the entire drive train is turning regardless of the transfer case being locked. The top speed will be the same.

That's because they wanted them!

Hi and welcome. When choosing your level punishment/enjoyment remember, the bigger the truck, the heavier the parts. Enjoy!

I sell the rebuild kits and parts if you need them. The regulator is $5 and about $3 to ship it. There is a link in my signature to my alternator rebuild thread. It has pictures and will help your mechanic understand what's going on inside an isolated ground alternator. The output voltage...

You can tow it with your pickup truck James. I've towed them with my F350. Get a pintle hitch for your slide in receiver.

Looks good!

Disconnect the glow plugs at the solenoid. I can't think of any other high current draws unless something is going on with the glow plug resistor on the firewall.

That is exactly what you do. Battery rebuilders do it all the time using a battery post mold. A buddy of mine worked for a battery rebuilder and I watched him fix several battery posts using a mold and propane torch. I asked him if he was worried about the battery exploding. His answer was the...

Hi Chief, I sell the alternator rebuild kits. I also have a how-to thread with pictures to show the steps to rebuild the alternator. Along with offering miscellaneous alternator related items; several members requested parts to convert a non-isolated ground 27SI alternator to isolated ground so...

From my experience, CUCV's are under powered at all speeds. You only have 135 or so HP. The mid-80's civi Chevy pickup with the 350 gas motor is over 200HP. It is what is. Short of turbo charging, you are not going to see a large HP gain. I would either not worry about it, or start looking for...

Nice looking camper build! I have a M1028A2 with a S250 shelter and it is very stable with the dual rear wheels. I'm sure you will be much happier with the duals. Keep the pictures coming.

You can test each alternator on the truck. The regulator terminals are terminal #1 (closest to B+), light (exciter) and terminal #2, battery sense. Terminal #2 is connected to the battery all the time. Terminal #1 is switched through the ignition switch. Simply remove the regulator plug and run...
