    gen 2 light

    The plug is standard GM. Most parts stores have them for about $5. The red wire is connected to the 24v Positive Terminal block and is hot at all times. The brown wire is only hot when the key is on. It is controlled by the GEN2 relay, GEN2 diode, GEN2 light and bottom fuse. The GEN2 light is...

    CUCV 454 Swap Problem

    The correct GM part number from the TM 9-2320-289-34P parts manual calls for the GM 459021 motor mount for both sides. However the mounting brackets are different for each side (normally not replaced) The original poster was trying to say that all the listed numbers are for the correct item...

    Gen 2 light / Alternator trouble fixed the hard way

    The GEN lights, both GEN1 and GEN2, are used by the alternator exciter circuits. If power isn't flowing thru the bulb the alternator will not excite. For what ever reason GM wired the GEN1 exciter circuit and the heater to use the same fuse. When the fan is blowing it is robbing some juice from...

    CUCV 454 Swap Problem

    A previous post from Terracoma: Use the GM part number from the Technical Manual, do not go with what is spec'd for the year/model. Photo below shows the year/model mount (on the left) next to the correct mount, note the size difference. GM 459021 NAPA 6021179 AutoZone 2292

    CUCV 454 Swap Problem

    Have you looked in the Tech Manual for the GM part number? The CUCVs use a different mount than the civvy units.

    CUCV Starting issues

    That is the reverse light switch. The neutral safety switch is also part of that housing, but there is no wiring in the truck for it.

    Runaway started help for a friend...

    The wire on the battery is the ground. Looks like all the juice was flowing thru it. That indicates that the frame to engine ground and Negative Terminal Buss to engine ground are messed up. Have him check all the grounds...

    Anyone in the San Antonio area a CUCV expert

    Maybe it is because I'm to cheap and buy the abused trucks. ;-)

    CUCV Starting issues

    The 1986 trucks did not have a factory neutral safety switch. From you description, it may be a bad ignition switch. Over the years the grease inside the switches hardens and can cause issues.

    Anyone in the San Antonio area a CUCV expert

    Almost every CUCV that I have bought at auction has required a bunch of work to get road worthy. Not including tires I have usually spent close to $1000 to get them going. Of course some have been less and some more.

    CUCV Starting issues

    Welcome to the site. Moved your post to its own thread. What is the delivery date of your truck? It is on the data plate on the drivers door pillar. Makes a difference as to whether you have a neutral safety switch or not.
