I believe it was done to create something to handle the load. Also, keep in mind that this is just what I remembered off the top of my head, I have not re-read the thread(s) in question. I'm not sure Rat Shack carries the heavier-duty power resistors anymore, or at least not in their...

I believe it is 300 ohms. There have been threads about making an equivalent part by combining several resistors from Radio Shack, etc.

350 cubic inches = 5.7 L

Find a local driveshaft shop and have it re-tubed. They may be able to straighten it. Should replace the u-joints while it is out.

Follow the troubleshooting guide in the TMs. It is a very simple process. Take a look at the many threads here about glow plugs. You can change them yourself. The only real hangup can be if there are any swollen glow plugs. A minor issue is having to change the female terminals on the glow plug...

Is there a way to view Gimpy's avatars in an HD format?

CJ - These are the terminals I used when I had new battery cables made up: http://www.prime4x4.com/shop/OffRoad-Electrical-Accessories--Components/Battery-Terminals--Accessories/p/Military-Battery-Terminal-and-Boot-Sets-sku-MilTermKit001.htm

Have you read the CUCV wiki? Most likely there is a vacuum leak. "If its electrical, clean it. If its rubber, replace it"

What have you done to trouble shoot the problem? Have you preformed the glow plug testing process in the TMs?

An EMP can come from the detonation of a nuclear device, or from solar flares, ie CME. You have to decide whether you want to worry about it or not.

Thanks for the follow up!

Which model CUCV do you have? Any of them, other than the M1009, have the standard GM connector along the frame rail that you can tee into with a commercially available trailer wiring harness adapter. http://www.etrailer.com/t1-1984_Chevrolet_C%2FK+Series+Pickup.htm The M1009 does not have...

Or HMMWV...

CJ - That bracket if for a chemical agent alarm. See this thread here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?12148-Anyone-know-what-this-mount-is-for One thing to keep in mind is that not every CUCV had every piece of equipment issued to it. If it was assigned to a unit that didn't need...

CJ - I believe there is some recommended change interval for the CDR valve, but as they are not always easy to find, you can clean them. There is really not much inside them. There is a thread here somewhere that shows one being taken apart. I used some diesel fuel to clean mine. I bought a...

When looking on a certain auction site for the CDR valves, include the 6.2 / 6.5 liter HMMWV listings in your search, as that is where most of them seem to be coming from. I've bought a few there, and they have been exact replacements. One of the sellers on that auction site is also a member...

No. Unless you are counting the occupants of the vehicle. If they don't sense oxygen, they keel over.

In general, the CUCVs all use parts from the '84 model year. So even if your truck was built in '86, it uses the '84 parts. There have been some exceptions to this though. I would check and see if the parts houses list different parts between the model years, and that might explain the...

That rapid clicking is an indication that the front battery is either low, or bad. Even though the voltages look good, it doesn't mean the battery will be able to sustain it under load. I would give both batteries a full charge, and then have them load tested. Most auto parts houses should be...
