The only place I've noticed the CUCV TMs to be incorrect at times is with the wiring. Of course when we need them most, as otherwise, they are pretty much just '84 K-30s.

The manual actually says 9 pints pan drain, 22 pints overhaul, not quarts, hey I'm getting old and the writing is small,. Anyway, the newly installed tranny did take 22 pints, (11 quarts or 10 liters). The transfer case is 5 quarts (NP-208 ).

Factory manual says "pan removal; 9 qts, overhaul; 22 qts. Transfer case; 208, 5 qts, 205, 2.5 qts." I'll let you know if this it true later today or tomorrow, am reinstalling a rebuilt tranny today, and drained the 208 before I dropped it.

You can't go wrong following the manual, but pretty sure they say that so they don't get started up dry. I would certainly grease newly installed bearings, disassemble just to re grease like one would front wheel bearings, ...no. I have never had apart for service and seen other than oil...

The rear wheal bearings are supposed to be lubed by the gear oil, which is why that seal is so important, and generally should be replaced when doing brake jobs, etc. I wonder if the locker is causing any extra noise, never ran one on blocks and tried to listen, but it does cause what seems...

If engine had a catastrophic failure, any number of things could have happened. Broken crank is just as common as spun bearing on these 6.2s. Dropping the oil pan is a good start in accessing engine condition, and a lot easier than getting torque converter off, it will also give you better...

It is possible the crank shaft broke, it has happened on these trucks ,with 6.2s and low gearing, esp when the harmonic ballencer is going out and trying to drive at highway speeds, already at top of max RPMs. If you have just spun bearing, logical solution in most cases is still to look for a...

If the engine is seized for some reason, most of our advice does not apply. I guess that should not be ruled out, but I can't think of how it would be caused by the original symptoms in this thread. Burn connecting rods off crank? You give a lot of good advice here, but I can not picture...

You could undo the glow plugs as mentioned before to eliminate compression resistance. Then a little applied force or light prying. Also you can use ( I think it is 15mm) low offest or combo wrench, box end, to put on one of the bolts that you can reach, as there are 6 bolts, the are two or...

Listen to the IP when you apply the 12V to fuel solenoid. You should hear a click if solenoid is operational and getting current. If you do hear it, and still no fuel, carefully take off IP (injector pump) top cover and confirm solenoid is moving when activated. Other than that, you...

It is always nice to have more cranking amps, but two matched 650s will likely meet your needs for the truck chassis, especially seeing you are in CA and not as likely to have to deal with very cold weather starts. If you have to replace one though, I'd get the highest amp set of batteries you...

The lower rated battery is not contributing to the problem, as long as they are matching. I would recommend testing the voltage coming into each of the batteries while it is running to see what is going on. Seems like you have sort of a hybrid or half conversion of the 1010 system, with 1 12V...

Maybe the IP, would check other things before replaceing out of hand. Could be air leak in many places in line or filter, lift pump failure, clogged or broken pick up tube in tank. I recently had one where the seam in lift pump body was the source of air leak, which was a first for me, took...

I don't think you should assume you need to do the Heli coil yet. From your picture it looks like the broken starter bolt should come out and threads may be OK. Often times they come out with little resistance. I'd start with a reverse drill bit, more than half the time that works. Next...

My guess is flex plate got bent when starting with only one bolt. It should have same clearance on both sides.

Not to mention the Heli coil starter mount thread repair and broken block at starter mount flange lesson. Had the first one, know a guy who junked an otherwise running engine over the second. I reccomend changing both bolts every time I change the starter if I was not the mechanic putting in...

This is the commercial grade stuff, it is a two part system, so remember to buy converter too, and have good breathing protection. Comes in quarts and gallons. https://www.johnsonautobodysupply.com/DuPont-Self-Etching-Primer-(Gallon).html

It is possible to remove control and output boxes, re wire the 12 leads from generator and get split phase 220V. That would make it similar to the civilian Onan model DJE (I think). You would also have to provide a new voltage regulator (AVR) and the battery charging circuit would have to be...

Don't think I have access to that. These are just govt issued pics of mostly tanks & half tracks in training or testing stateside. Might not even be interesting, but current situation has me less employed than normal, so wasting time.

Hi, I came across a collection of WW2 pictures my dad collected when he was a kid during the war. Most of these are official govt PR sort of pictures he either bought or sent away for, as opposed to actual historic photos (unless you count ship launchings). There are lots of pictures of ships...
