I have purchased a non-running M1009 in Nebraska and need it transported to Kentucky. The M1009 is complete and in good shape but without engine, so the weight should be around 4500 lbs. All tires are good and tight. Cash in hand. Thanks.

I need to move a rolling, non-running M1009 from Wahoo, Nebraska to Paris, Kentucky. Truck is clean and in a driveway in a residential neighbrhood. Wahoo is 30 miles north of Lincoln, NE and I-80. Paris is 18 miles north of Lexington, KY and I-64/I-75. Truck is missing motor so the weight...

I was wondering if the 6.2 engine oil pump has a check valve to prevent the oil in the galleys from draining back down into the oil pan. I’ve studied the oil routing through the engine but can’t seem to see one on the diagram. Does anyone have any knowledge regarding this?

Let me make sure I understand this correctly. If either of the GEN dash bulbs burns out, the alternators will not charge?

The speedometer is controlled by a "Drive Gear" inside the NP208 transfer case and a "Driven Gear" mounted inside a removable sleeve on the side of the transfer case, to which the speedometer cable is attached. GM offered (and still offers) various teeth counts on both "Drive Gears" and Driven...

I just wanted to post a positive thread about Hillbilly Wizard. I've been getting various parts from John over the past few months and have had excellent results. Recently I purchased a used part from him, and when it came it, it had just a tad bit too much rust pitting for my P400 engine...

As many of you know I am assembling a new P400 6.5 engine and Bowtie 700R4 transmission for my M1028 rebuild. Every part on the engine is either new or rebuilt and restored to OEM condition. I am not robbing parts off my existing CUCV engine, but instead fitting the new engine with its own...

I'm coming down the home stretch on my P400 build and want to install a new power steering pump in place of the old tired 1984 model. Can anybody recommend an American-made pump? After spending all this cash on the engine and transmission, I just cannot bring myself to install a cheap Chinese...

I am installing a new GEP P400 HMMWV engine in my 1984 M1028 truck and cannot bring myself to install a cheap Chinese after-market starter on this magnificient piece of machinery. I have a few extra dollars laying around, and would like to purchase a new 24-volt starter that is correct for the...

I have a question for those SS members who are wiser than me. I plan to add electrical oil pressure and temperature gauges in my cab, driven by OEM sending units on the engine, however I also want to add another second set of gauges in the engine compartment for monitoring temperature and...

Does anybody know what these bolts are called and where to source them? I've always called them continuous thread bolts but a Google search with that name comes up empty. I need new ones to bolt the intake onto my P400. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

As many of you know, I am assembling a new GEP P400 6.5 engine for my M1028. I need a new 24-volt starter for this engine, and cannot bring myself to purchase cheap Chinese junk or something from Summit. Does anybody know how to obtain a new starter directly from GEP? P.S. - please do not try...

Hi everyone. I'm preparing to swap valve covers on my new P400 long block, and noticed that AM General did not use a gasket under the valve covers when they were installed at the GEP factory, but instead used some type of industrial-strength gasket sealer instead. Anybody have any idea what...

Hello - I am preparing to replace my original 6.2 with a new 6.5 long block. I plan to retain the mechanical DB2 injection pump, but will install new 6.5 injectors. Question - will my original 6.2 injection lines bolt up to the 6.5 injectors? Are there any differences between the 6.2 and 6.5...

A few days ago I posted photos of my new P400 engine in my rebuild thread. Then yesterday and today I received emails asking about when the engine would arrive, so I couldn't figure out what was going on. Then I remembered that my rebuild thread was recently moved by a moderator from this CUCV...

Here's a new one for you. As many of you know, I have a new P400 6.5 long block on the way to install into my M1028. Because I want to maintain the original 12/24 volt CUCV alternator system, I plan to move my original CUCV alternators, brackets, and PS pump over to the new 6.5 from the 6.2...

Well for the past hour or so I have been trying to search on this forum regarding cruise control for my M1028. I have searched "cruise" and got 1 gazillion threads containing that word, mainly to "cruise" at highway speeds. Then I searched "control" and got another 1 gazillion threads...

This may have been discussed previously but I couldn't find any relative threads. I am exploring the possibility of adding the factory fuel tank to the passenger side of the frame of my M1028, but am perplexed regarding a source for the factory fuel door assembly. Can the M1009 fuel door...

I have just ordered a new P400 long block from Leroy Diesel. It will be installed in my M1028 in front of a new 700R4 Level 2 transmission from Bowtie already on hand. Having said that, I would like to invite comments on my next course of action. Yes Doghead, I have searched until I am blue...

I've been talking with Jeff at Bostic Motors about purchasing one of their GEP 6.5 engines to replace my stock 6.2, and he is wanting to also sell me new Bosch 6.5 injectors to go along with it ($650), as well as a new set of special injector lines to mate my factory 6.2 injection pump to the...
