I have been blazing through some repairs to the Whistler the last 3-1/2 years. It started making oil in May of 2015. It sat for a while, the wiring rotted off so I couldn’t get power to the intank pump to check the boost pump seal. Then we had a hurricane. Life got in the way and such. It now...

Positive deals only here as well.

Thanks for the info Ken. The newest 6.2 I have is a 1988 and the oldest 6.5 is a 1993. Nice to learn something new.

There have been a good number of people posting like you have about how they want to try this. Then someone will post about how the side metal of the truck was not designed to support a swing out tire carrier like the Bronco's had. There are pictures out there of the passenger rear of a...

The picture in post 5 showing how to put a T on the oil psi sender unit. Also shows another pressure supply port. The upper most of the holes above the oil filter has a plug in it on your block. A square 1/4" tool is needed to remove it. A 1/4" socket extension might almost get it out but...

The -20 manual for the CUCV has a great 74 page electrical troubleshooting section. The very first thing it says for any electrical issue is to load test your batteries and make sure they are charged. Please do that first because everything else is dependent on them being good. You wrote that...

The -20P and -30P manuals have the GM part number for every component on the vehicle. However, for the brake light bulb and the front blinker bulb. 1157 is the number of the bulb. All single filament bulbs are 1156 and dual filament bulbs are 1157. The front ones will have letters after...

I forgot about the outside braces Keith. The trucks are very well set up.

The CUCV truck pintle is mounted to a very thik step bumper which has 6 bolts on each side holding it to the frame rails. Then there are a pair of angled pieces that bolt to the pintle and have 2 bolts each holding them to the frame. Very sturdy and well thought out. The M1009 is pretty much...

Rory said it all about the M1009. Chevy rated the K5 Blazer with a frame mounted hitch at 5,000 pound trailer pulling with a 500 pound tongue weight.

A few months and a few more things learned. I have another 600 or so miles of pulling a loaded trailer now. As mentioned above, the steering shaft and steering box swap really helped. It was still kind of iffy feeling at times though with the loaded trailer. I know the 4x4 3/4 ton Suburban's...

My M1009 was getting around 5000 a year for a few years until I started driving the Cowdog. My son was using his M1009 for around 8k a year until he went to college.

Several different things here. The truck is a 12 volt truck. Only part of the starting system and part of the glow plug system get 24 volts. Plus the slave cable wiring and how the passenger side alternator ties in is it for 24 volts. The resistor on the firewall is where 24 volts is stepped...

You need the 1964 TM. It covers both engines. There is also a TM from 1951 that is a single book which is basically an all in one for the Gasser trucks.

That would have been good information to include in the first post. Do you have this: http://www.roscommonequipmentcenter.com/nn10.pdf That is the only literature that might help you since your truck is now in the "experimental wiring system" category.

You checked the fuse but maybe the fuse isn't making contact after the fuse. If you can remove the fuse and use a pick to bend the fuse holder contacts in a bit along with cleaning them. It might help. However, that doesn't explain your 8 volts. Or the getting bright just before it went dark...

OK. So a fast idle solenoid is what you need? I thought some shop was trying to take you for a long expensive ride by your first post. Are you sure the solenoid is bad? They don't have the power to open the throttle by themselves. You have to push the throttle down to around half way and...

Memphis and Antelope Valley are where I found most of my Gasser specific parts. There is also a good bit on Ebay sometimes. Kind of odd, but carb rebuild kits for that massive Holley are listed sometimes.

I just walked around my classroom looking at the valley of a few engines. 1985 CUCV 6.2 no dots. 1987 Chevy 6.2 no dots. 1994 NA Chevy 6.5 dots. 1995 Turbo Chevy 6.5 dots 1997 Turbo Chevy 6.5 dots 2005 GEP 6500 dots spelling out 506. I have a 1988 6.2 at home that I could look at to see if...

Before you go buying parts. Do you want to keep it military spark plugs and wires or go civilian? Everything is different is why I ask and you can be spending money on parts you don't need.
