    Vaccum pump for 6.2l

    I have never seen a o-ring used for the pump drive housing gasket. I would think the rubber would split when compressed when you tighten pump housing. Maybe not, but would like to know if the o-ring works. I would make one with gasket material first. Good Luck

    Can a pickup tow a M939?

    Locked in 4 wheel drive will get moving fine. The downside will be stopping. On flat ground, low speed caution is the rule. If all else fails have a tag along truck to help stop the truck. I still have my first pipe, you never know. I try and keep my slack line towing up to snuff if I am towing...

    Question for everyone working on CUCV’s

    Electrical Gremlins are one of the chinks in the CUCV's armor. Condensers, relays, wiring issues are easily found in the TM's provided here on site. Also there are posts that help as well. I like to follow rebuilds, follow parts replacement and helpful tips on all Military Equipment. Parts...

    How to remove this bushing??

    If you are asking about the riveted frame housing section with the rubber bushing I use a grinder on the outside of frame and grind as flush as possible and not grind on frame, scratching is ok. The rivets are countersunk into the frame some. Then I take a bit close to size of the rivet, drill...

    Newly purchased CUCV M1009 won't turn over.

    All dash lights look good, does the glowplug light cycle or stay on continuously?

    Have you had a chance to check the starter bolts? If the starter drive is hung up doing as TGP has suggested may return the drive. And try to restart and see if it is a loud click or soft click, for engagement.

    Also what is the voltage on each battery and then combined? Marcus is right about the 12 volt conversion. The headlight blown fuse needs attention to see that there is not a chaffed power wire grounding out. Seems that there is several problems happening. Check out wires carefully, sometimes...

    If the alternator is rebuilt can you bolt back onto engine? Have you checked out the blackout light switches to see if they have been tampered with?

    There used to be a little diagram that showed that offsetting the seal about an 1/8 inch to part the seal from the mating surface of the cap so to minimize the flat machined surface from leaking. Then a little silicon outside the rubber seal on the mating surface of the cap to the block as to...
