    Can anyone ID this Generator

    The data plate is missing. It has a Magneto so I was thinking Clinton engine. Was hoping to find something about where this would be used by the Military and when. I cant find any info on it anywhere.

    Are speedometers different between models and years?

    Is there a gear change drive unit mounted on the output of the t-case just before the speedo cable? My M1008 has this and so did my 87 K5 civilian blazer and they are both listed in the parts book as optional(what ever that means) I think it is a reduction drive for transfercase ratio...

    Can anyone ID this Generator

    Can anyone ID this genny. I just bought it from a local guy and it runs but I don't need it and want to sell it but some ID info and specs may help. It runs good but it looks older the the rest of my collection so it is kind of a misfit so I am looking for a new home for it.

    Sad Day, watched it drive away....

    I always thought that too until I just looked at an M818 with a blown cummins and the guy said he was just driving it and it stopped. Now it is seized up tight. I was thinking about buying it but not sure.

    Glow plug threads damaged

    With the heat JB weld may burn/power out. if it does I know "Marine Tex" does not. I have used it on exhaust manifolds and it did not burn off and mixes just like JB weld

    True or Not True?

    Can I say it? Look in the TM The TM has the NSN which comes back to a GM Part number which is the same as a Civy C10 2wd truck so I would have to say they are the same. I would be sure for all the trucks with single fuel tank and long bed and probably the same for the dualy, they just added...

    Glow plug threads damaged

    I was always told that the threads did not do any sealing, it was the collar on the end of the GP that actually crushed down when torqued properly to make the seal, that is why there is no sealant on the threads. I was also told never to remove a GP and use it over again because of this same...

    Glow plug threads damaged

    Time-serts are great, way better the heli coil but a bit pricy though.

    need advice, think I popped a piston :(

    I have the same problem but mine is making the sound out the exhaust and I think it is the head gasket between 2 cylinders and mine the exhaust valve is open when the piston of the other cylinder comes up on compression it sounds like yours is doing it when it comes up on the intake side of the...

    LDT-465 Compression Tester

    I have a M44/530C fire truck in the shop and I suspect the head gasket is blown and need to do a compression test and leakdown test to be sure. I think it is blown between 2 cylinders because it runs very bad, blowing a ton of black smoke and is Huffing out the exhaust(Very weird sound) Anyway...

    wipers... will not return

    That is what is used from the factory but the pump is no longer serviced so even when you get a new/rebuilt motor it is still a 20+ year old crusty pump. The mechanical pump is what really slows down the wiper motor when engaged which is why the upgrade. But yes you are correct that is the...

    wipers... will not return

    the A1 cardone part number for the updated motor is 40-182 and it will bolt right in and plug in also. All you will need is the washer bottle and pump and extend the wiring to reach the new electric pump. LMC truck part numbers 3604084 pump, 36-4094 bottle. the harnes I used was from a chevy...

    New M1009 Owner Needs Help

    The scans are no problem, as for the HMMWV I have no clue but I had a crate engine bought from the gov and it had all the brackets for the TV cable on it still so I kept it all for some reason and never needed it. I know it is a long rod, a plate and some brackets that connect to the IP and it...

    Oh I think I have the TV cable setup from a 6.2 in a HMMWV if you need it

    New M1009 Owner Needs Help

    Oops I forgot about the TV cable. You will need the bracket for the cable to control the shift for the 700r. It needs the cable or it wont shift. The Gov is also the same but may need to be changed per your application. Not a big deal since they are about 19.00 and can be changed in about 5...

    New M1009 Owner Needs Help

    There is no real difference other then the converter. The diesel converter is a 6 pad and the gasser is only 3. There were tons of differences to the 700r but not specific to gas or diesel and it was the same for any auto. Example, 32 roller sprag, kevlar clutches, HD Planet and so on are all...

    M923a1 transmission fluid?

    As a shop the works on heavy equipment I can say for sure that Dexron is the way to go. The military used 15w40 eng oil in the trans because that was a common fluid but it had an issue of shellacking the clutches. This was a major problem in the M35A3 and I am sure the other trucks as well. I...

    Lift Laws by state...

    NJ law says 4" over stock, which is confusing to most because the State is counting total, adding in tires, body and suspension lifts. Most M1009 trucks will accept 33" tires and that alone could make it over height in NJ

    New M1009 Owner Needs Help

    The 4L60 is a computer controlled unit and I dont know if the parts would be cost effictive to gain any benifit. The 700r is an OK trans if you dont plan on doing any 4wd stuff out of the ordinary. The 700r conversion should be easy since that was the civilian unit used in the blazer with the...

    wipers... will not return

    The 18" Blades just fit without hitting and cover the entire windshield. When I had the OE CUCV style motor they would just barely move when the glass was dry like when you try to wash the windshield with the wiper washers that was the main reason for the swap to the other style motor without...
