I am putting a 6.2 HMMWV motor into my GMC. I am ready to fire this thing up, I just need a starter. I can't find any information on replacement HMMWV starters other than replacement HMMWV starters which are insanely expensive. Will a 24V gear reduction starter off a CUCV work on the HMMWV...

Difference in gauges/senders. Quick note: Some have asked if you can use the older M series gauges (metal connectors) on the newer M series vehicles (rubber connectors), and visa versa. The answer is YES, but only for the oil senders and oil gauges. There is no difference between the early...

Looking at the FRONT of the truck, does your 6.2 rotate clockwise or counter clockwise. Again, this is looking at the FRONT/GRILL of the truck.

I am putting this new HMMWV motor into my GMC soon. I am using the Th400 that is already fitted to the truck and has been used in the truck. The transmission is setup for a rubber mount. For the motor, I really want to make some solid mounts. They are so easy, and I could be done in under a...

There's a large steel fuel line that comes off the fuel pump, under the intake and stops at the rear of the left valve cover. It has the red plug in it to keep junk out during shipping. I don't know what this line hooks up to? Does it hook into rubber line coming off the injector pump inlet? Is...

Is there is a 24V alternator that will bolt right onto the 6.2 motor, on the right head? This is not a CUCV, the 6.2 motor is going in my GMC which is 100% 24V from the headlights, gauges, sending units and everything else inbetween. I have a large converter to keep the 6.2 glowplugs 12v of...

This question is for the 24V, 25 AMP generators used on the M37 and other early M series vehicles. What would cause the generator to only make power in one direction, and zero power in the other? Mine puts out 36 volts (measured without regulator, duh) running counter clockwise as viewed from...

Well, I just thought I'd give everbody a little update on my GMC. The 455 Olds has been sold, it was a POS motor to begin with. There's a reason why some engines come out of a junkyard, for darn sure. I decided to put a 6.2 Detroit in there and keep the Th400 that came with the truck...

I look at these threads where people are burning WMO as a fuel instead of Diesel. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to setup my own filtration center sometime. But I have to ask, how "clean" is WMO compared to diesel? I guess when I hear "motor oil" I think exhaust stacks blowin black as coal. I...

Next month i'll be meeting with a fellow here in town to pick out a 6.2 or 6.5 for my M211 project. I am not that knowledgeable about either motor, though I am very mechanically inclined. Just wondering if there are certain things to look out for. He said some have the banks turbo and some...

Just got done doing a count. For those interested in making their trucks wiring 100% waterproof and brand new looking again. For the GMC M211's you'll need 110' of 14g wire 110 Douglas rubber grommets 110 Douglas bullet terminals 60/40 Rosin core solder Soldering gun Wire cutters Knife or...

I was brainstorming a little tonight while watching the thunderstorm. An idea for an easy to setup and inexpensive but reliable "dual" circuit brake system for all Deuce's. For those familiar with the stock braking system you'll see the AIR PAK powers both the front axle and rear wheel...

I searched on this some, and the general consensus seems to be that for sprag equipped vehicles the vehicle cannot be driven in reverse if the sprag is still in the "forward position" which is what it stays in due to the spring pressure. This is on my GMC which has a sprag Tcase, but it pertains...

First off, the tank has not had a drop of fuel in it for over 30 years and has been open for several months, there are no fumes inside thank god. As you can see from the pictures it's a pretty bad dent ontop. I do not have a stud welder, just my MIG. I am pretty darn good with it, and was...

This is not a want to buy ad, just wondering what the going rate for a solid 6.2 is these days. I am in SW Arizona so we have lots of junkyards here to pick through. Are 6.5's more expensive or harder to find than the 6.2's? A CUCV take out would be awesome.

Has anyone done any free hand stencil work on their trucks? As I understand it this is how it was done in the field during WWII. I will likely be doing mt GMC this way, but will use thin masking tape to make the larger letters and help keep the lines straight. Please post pics if you can!

A lot of GMC's are nearing 60 years old, lots of time for rust to form on the thin sheet metal body parts. Mine has been an AZ vehicle nearly it's entire life. I was quite surprised to find that there was a moderate amount of rust forming in and around the cab parts. I can't imagine how much...

YouTube - ‪rigneck's Channel‬‏ Those wheels sure were spinning real fast, not a lot of traction on those branches. Is this how most GMC's do off road? Not a whole lot of Youtube videos on them. Found this one by accident. But, it's 5 minutes long!

Can somebody take some pictures of their trucks accelerator pedal and linkage? believe the M35 series use the same type of pedal/linkage as the early gassers but don't know for sure.

Holy moly. I was taking the wheels off the right side front tandem today and all of the budd thimbles came off fairly easily except for 1. I was using my 40" breaker bar with a 16" extension and it would NOT budge. Heated it up to around 550 degrees a couple times and that didn't do anything...
