Found this the other day while looking for a wiring diagram from the TM and thought it was cool. Google Image Result for http://www.73-87.com/7387info/ads_GM/army_cucv.jpg

I'm not too worried about finding the "right one." I saw one on the dreaded flea-bay the other day and last I knew eastern surplus had about 10 parts CUCV's. I'd just rather buy a new one then take my chances with a used one that may or may not work. Honestly, I haven't even run through the...

Has anybody ever run one of these in a CUCV? OD Iron LLC Military Vehicle Parts and Accessories The NSN doesn't match up with the one in the -34, but the website says its for "M series trucks"

Yeah, the Gearvendors look nice and I've definitely thought about putting one in my M1028, but last time I checked they cost almost as much as the truck :shock: That and if you're like me and you've got the M1028A1 or M1031 with the slip yoke NP205, you've got to get a SYE kit before you can...

Shouldn't be a problem. Even with 4.56's, with a 700R4 you should be able to do close to 80 on stock 32"-ish tires at the same RPM you're doing now at 55. If you're gonna run 35's and a 700R4, you'll probably want to look at a stronger, built-up aftermarket tranny since the 700R4's aren't quite...

Just had another random thought about the multifuel engines in the deuce and halves: Has anybody ever set one of these up to be say, E85 capable or even run on it on a straight mixture of alcohol/ethanal or any sort of ***anol? I mean, they're supposed to be MULTIFUEL engines right? Now before...

It could. I'm stuck out in the same God-awful NC heat. The other day I had the truck parked for maybe an hour during the day. When I came back the truck started up no problem, but I could still hear the GP relay cycle about 2 or 3 times AFTER the truck had been started. I replaced the relay...

Trust me, the idea has crossed my mind more than a number of times. The truck is my one and only daily driver for the time being so I need it be reliable. Right now precious time to work on the truck is in short demand, so I'm pretty much just patching up bullet wounds instead of yanking out the...

Try reading the troubleshooting section on glow plugs in the wiki first. I just found out today that my glow plugs are shot.

Yep. That's it. Sorry I didn't look closer. I was looking at the charging diagram and it honestly didn't make sense to me to that wire wouldn't be in that diagram. I forgot that the alternators are part of the diagnostics circuit. I should know better since I was trying to figure out what the...

So far things seem to be adding up against the fusible links. After cleaning up some electrical contacts and what-not under the hood, I go to hook the front battery up. Small spark, looks like it came from GEN2. I get the clamp on. Hook up positive on the rear battery. Small spark, looks like it...

I don't think the fusible links are out of spec. They look to be the original ones that came on the truck (black plastic cylinders). I wouldn't be surprised if the wiring needs to be replaced though. A lot of it looks pretty dry and brittle. Right now I'm pulling my hair out over electrical...

I've been thinking this over for a while, but feel I could use a second opinion (or five). Before I get started, I understand the CUCV's have fusible links. I understand that the fusible links are designed to act like a fuse and are there to keep electrical stuff in the circuit from frying...

:ditto: If it can't be fixed with WD-40, duct tape, or a big f***ing hammer, it isn't worth fixing. Well, sometimes it is. Okay, make that most of the time, point is, it isn't as fun or easy.

Subject reminded me of this. Very profane, but very funny and true. Watch right around 6:42.

Ask AJMBLAZER. He was running a set on his M1008: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/364830/1986-chevrolet-c-k-pick-up/page-2

OK thanks for the pics! Yep, those are the orange and blue wires from the GP relay (in the wiring diagram at least). I know there's 24V running through the GP relay since I popped the fuse in my circuit tester the other day on it. The voltmeter confirmed: 24 volts. Only reason I didn't trace the...

OK thanks. Already checked and double checked all the wiring diagrams in the -20 that included the 24V block (I had all of them when I was working on the truck) No orange or blue wires (The blue wire in question does not run to the resistor bank) I thought they might have run to to the GP relay...

Does anybody have a good picture of their 24V postive terminal junction block and how its wired up? I pulled all the wires off today to clean the contacts and tried to keep the wires around their respective studs, but there were a few that I couldn't recall exactly (a small red wire, didn't have...

There's one in one of the motorpools here that's just painted straight tan. Looks like all the other trucks that go to/are in the sandbox. I say camo. Mines straight green and I've toyed with the idea of repainting it camo. I've heard if you print off the camo pattern from the TM on a thin piece...
