Joining the bandwagon here..... nopics and a copy of your notes with the wire colors/positions/terminal pinouts would be spectacularly awesome. Later, Joe

When you jumped the relay under the dash, you ruled out the column switch as being the problem. Have you taken the starter off to have it tested? Did it test fine? It sounds like the bendix is hitting a tooth on the flywheel instead of meshing properly. The red and purple wires on the 28V relay...

The snaps were a unit modification to cover the reflective stuff for tactical use, not an Air Force wide thing. I've only seen it done a couple of times, but what they usually did was put in an order at the sewing shop to have the covers made, then installed the snaps. I'm willing to bet that...

His sliding side windows are not the factory ones. The factory ones have a vent window built in to them in the front. Later, Joe

When I cut up my parts 1009, a partial VIN was stamped in at least 2 places that I could find. Both were on top of the frame under the main floor pan. When I cut up the other one, I'll get pics of the locations. And yes, civilian trucks have the VIN (or a partial VIN) stamped into the frame so...

I'm on the wrong side of the country, but I need a complete uncut headlight wiring harness and an instrument cluster (or just a diesel fuel gauge from one) for my CUCV. Drop me a PM if you can help with those. Thanks, Joe

Unfortunately they are still classified by the Govt so the public can't get them. Dunno if anyone has done a FOIA request on them yet. Later, Joe

My 6.2/700R4 Suburban with a Banks kit gets about 20-24 MPG around town with a couple of 65-70 MPH runs up the highway, and that's with 235/85R16s. The civvy trucks with the 6.2/700R4 didn't all get the 3.08 gears so it can handle the OD better. Later, Joe

The glow plugs cycle after start up to help improve the idle of the engine and reduce smoke during warm up. There is a temperature switch on the back of the block by the driver's side head that controls the glow plugs. Until this switch tells the controller that it is warm enough, the controller...

There is only one key for the ignition and door unlike other Chevy trucks of the time. There is only one key code used on CUCVs as they were provided from the factory. Some units swapped the ignitions as a security measure, but I haven't seen one yet like that. Go to the dealer or a good...

Yes, I mean the silver relay under the dash (near the diagnostic connector), not the GP relay. The GP relay only handles the glow plugs and has nothing to do with engaging the starter. In the starter relay connector, if there is 24V at the red wire, when you jump to the purple wire the starter...

The fuel pump might be failing and therefore starving the engine for fuel... take the outlet line off the pump and put it in a bottle, crank it for a couple of revolutions and see how much fuel it delivers... Later, Joe

Anyone??

Ok, let's take a deep breath and calm down a bit. I can understand your frustration and if I lived on the east coast, I'd come over and help you figure it out... LOL Let's start by running through the individual circuits one by one. The fuel solenoid circuit is functional since you have 12V at...

I meant the dual alternator 24V charging system... I knew the glow plugs weren't 24v... ;) Later, Joe

Perfectly normal... Paid invoice should be showing up shortly... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=21358 Later, Joe

That would be electrical noise..... LOL Sorry, had to... Later, Joe

The switch he is referring to is mounted to the top of the steering column and is actuated by a rod coming from the ignition lock cylinder. It has two plugs going to it and if it is out of adjustment or just plain broken, turning the key won't do anything. As to what should happen when you turn...

I don't think he looked at the photo close enough to notice that it was a M715 instead of a CUCV... LOL That's certainly an interesting vehicle... I'm impressed that you made the 24V system work in it. Later, Joe

Can someone with an expando van tell me what the internal dimensions of the box are in both closed and open configurations? It needs to include the roof drop (if any) on the sides. Thanks, Joe
