    6.2L fuel leak

    Looks like you need a rebuild of your injection pump. Check all bolts and screws to make sure.

    6.2L fuel leak

    I changed out my fuel line to an -06AN line. I'm using a 6.5FFM but you can run the same line up to the OEM box filter if you choose. I posted details in my rebuild thread - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/kinda-got-carried-away-m1028-rebuild.54469/page-15#post-2222165 Hope this helps.

    Secret for installing a lift pump...

    If you want the original 6.2 / 6.5 HMMWV pump with a vent, it is part #12342893, NSN 2910-01-168-7905.

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    Looks to me that you need to drop that pan and clean/reseal it. Regarding the cam seal, I have never replaced one but I believe it comes out/goes in just like a freeze plug.

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    Must be a heck of a fence. Why would you consider a Gear Vendors unit over a built 700R4? In my 50-year history of building and modifying 4WD trucks, when comparing the two, I can see many more cons to the Gear Vendors, and many more pros to the 700R4. Just my 2 cents. Respectfully,

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    You may need to modify it slightly for the CUCV starter hub to clear. I simply cut mine with a jigsaw and then filed/sanded the edge smooth. Almost looks professional. 😃

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    So, you received a cast aluminum flywheel cover from Bowtie? When I purchased my 700R4 from them, a cover was not included. I purchased one off Ebay but had to modify it to mate to the back of my P400 engine, which has the special girdle. See post #249 of my rebuild thread -...

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    While I had the P400 oil pan off, I decided to go ahead and install a new Wolverine Model 16 oil pan heater. This oil pan heater draws 2.1 amps and will be wired together with the OEM engine block heater so that one plug will activate both heaters. I had to sand the aluminum P400 oil pan to...

    Rick - is that M1009 a customer's vehicle, or will it be for sale?

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I recently installed an A/C compressor and brackets on my P400 engine build. I documented the entire process here - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?54469-Kinda-got-carried-away-M1028-rebuild/page31&highlight=kinda+got+carried+away There were a lot of alignment issues which I had...

    Oil Flow Direction for Gauge

    Thanks for all the posts. I decided to install the oil temperature probe in the side of the P400 oil pan. Details and photos in my rebuild thread https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?54469-Kinda-got-carried-away-M1028-rebuild&p=2253650#post2253650

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    Well after much back and forth, I decided to install the oil temperature probe in the oil pan. The Autometer #5441 Oil Temperature mechanical gauge comes with a thermocouple line and probe designed to fit into a 1/2" NPT orfice, however on Autometer's site an alternative 3/8" bung adapter was...

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    After 3 years, the P400 engine and 700R4 transmission are completely assembled and almost ready to install. Whew, what an adventure. I'm still working on a few minor things such as hooking up the 5 mechanical gauges, but this will be easy. I am particularly proud of the Spinner centrifical...

    Replacement Fast/High Idle Solenoid?

    The GM replacement part number is 14066255. It is a discontinued part, however one occasionally pops up on Ebay. If I were you, I would take Rick's advice above and reach out to John at Hillbilly Wizard and ask for a good used unit. http://www.hillbillywizard.com/ Hope this helps.

    Should I Turbo my 6.2L M1010

    I believe if I were you, I would consider changing engines before I expended the time , energy and money in a turbo. Back in the 1980’s I was making annual trips from Atlanta to NW Colorado to elk hunt. In 1985 I bought a brand new GMC truck with 6.2 and TH400. Pulling our small hunting...
