    Seat Belt mounting points M1008

    I found a schematic in the TMs @ http://www.jatonkam35s.com/CUCVTechnicalmanuals/tm9-2320-289-20p.pdf TM 9-2320-289-20P .pdf Page: 348/724

    Glowplug, resistor bypass...fun

    I have had trouble free service from the AC60Gs on the resistor bypass triggered by a very old stock card. My plugs were in very bad shape when I removed them. All but two tested bad, how they were hanging on to life I'll never know. They were certainly victim to the cascade failure of the...

    Tips for Restoring Power

    I would first run 3 or more full tanks of pure pump diesel through her, B20 if available. Burn the tank almost empty before refilling. Carry an extra fuel filter. Make sure your fuel system including IP is in good health. Inspecting an injector or two would not hurt either.

    fuel pump replacement

    I would use a socket on the harmonic balancer instead of bumping the starter. A pull handle will make it easier to overcome the compression.

    TM 9-2320-289-20 2-59 5.1. GENERATOR LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON WITH KEY IN “ON” POSITION BEFORE ENGINE IS STARTED Step 1. Trace all circits from generator to generator light in instrument panel (including fuse, bulb, arm relay}. (See wiring diagram F-11) If circuits are good, replace alternator.

    24 volt "Ford" type remote starter solenoid

    I don't think the solution you have proposed will achieve the results you want. On the other hand... I don't consider myself an Electrical Guru. The first time somebody told me to put a lawnmower* relay on my truck I laughed. Why? Because on the surface it sounds like a bad idea. With time I...

    Starter Disengages after 2 seconds

    My truck has done this before. However, it is very rare. The single cylinder fire is almost like a cough or hick-up then whiirrrrrrrr as starter spools down. Based on what you have stated, I would want to test the GP system (test that each plug is good /heating) and confirm that no air is...

    37X12.5X16.5 HUMMER Wheels M1008?

    Your spacer thickness, wheel backspace, and width will all need to be considered together. With the welded inserts you can set your own backspacing, and eliminate the spacer all together. My main negative with the spacers was the same as the two piece wheel, and runflat insert I cut out with a...

    37X12.5X16.5 HUMMER Wheels M1008?

    I have ready where this is correct, and where they are non-directional. Running each side opposite will help disguise the true direction of your trucks travel offroad!

    Recs for Transmission Shop in GA?

    WELCOME! I recently replaced my flexplate (flywheel). It is not all that difficult if you decide to do it yourself. If you were to do this yourself there is a lot of information here to get you through it. The trans swap I would imagine has been docutmented as well. Before you change the...

    37X12.5X16.5 HUMMER Wheels M1008?

    I noticed your tread direction on the passenger side is reversed, and the driver side the same direction as mine. Do you prefer one over the other? What improvements have you noticed? When I rotate them next I may reverse mine with the mouth of the V pulling like your passenger side.

    37X12.5X16.5 HUMMER Wheels M1008?

    I only did 4" springs in the front. I do get off road some, and have never had any problems hitting the fender. Keep in mind that my wheels are narrow and pull the tires in. See M1008 Link in Signature. If off road a lot I would certainly look at the Zero Rates. Like you said they add more...

    37X12.5X16.5 HUMMER Wheels M1008?

    0" - By cutting the fender. 4" - On the M1008. What CUCV do you have? Adding your vehicles to your signature is a good thing.

    alterrnator & engine question

    No, they are different and this is an important point. The Passenger side Alternator MUST HAVE a isolated Ground. The Driver side does not.

    alterrnator & engine question

    No Problem. Exactly right on my lift. I ordered the parts from Off Road Design. The blocks in the rear were suitable for my needs, even though there are much better options for increased articulation. More lift information here: Link Be sure to check back in and let us know how you fixed the...

    alterrnator & engine question

    Oh and for the $75 Running 6.2, I would buy it. [thumbzup] Starter, Alternators, Injection Pump and a few other key parts would easily cover that.
