    6.2 cranking times

    I have AC 60G glowplugs and have done the Doghead 12V modification on the glowplug system What is this conversion? Something new in the pound? Animal shelter (also a "pound"), a facility that houses homeless, lost, or abandoned animals Just asking because I never heard of the conversion on...

    Front disc dust shield

    It is 2 individual pieces. The small inner one should be easy to find. It is really not needed. Unless you are mud bogging. Good Luck.

    M1008 or 1028 rattle

    I think it is the fuel fill door. It will rattle against the tether on the cap. And No the fuel tank skid plate has no bushings. Just 5/16" nuts and bolts. Use Nylock nuts. Good Luck. Have a Great Day and Be Safe.

    1009 hood cable came loose or broke

    That is a very closed in area above the flange of the core support. Good Luck. The wedges and 1/4" drive extension with 1/2" swivel socket is easy as that. Damage free. I closed a hood on one with no fenders just the core support and I could not access that area. Mine had no cable attached. Even...

    1009 hood cable came loose or broke

    Use a plastic logging wedge jammed it the front edge of the hood and then a swivel 1/2 socket with an extension. Remove the 2 5/16" bolts that hold the latch onto the core support. They are facing forward. Easy access. I would only do that after you failed at pushing down on the hood and having...

    M1028 relay identification

    The horn relay is a little relay that hangs up close to the top right side of the fuse box. Good thing to cut the diode out of that plug if you are ever in there or have the cluster out. Good Luck.

    New To Me Engine, Won't Start

    Glow plugs that are dead can get 12 volts. While you have the glow plugs out check them with a short wire and a battery. Only a split second if you ground the threads of the glow plug to the wire on negative and touch the spade on the positive. Put a drop of oil on each one. It will make smoke...

    Crank, no start, white smoke.

    How can you install it wrong? Please? I have installed them a thousand times. Maybe I am doing it wrong. My cobbler bench was Round peg, Round hole, Square peg, Square hole, See my point? It only fits one way and each end is the same. If you know something here enlighten me. Please. :)

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

    Only many many broken ones. They are a very weak design. Back when you could buy a new GM case you could see that they reinforced the tail section and made it stronger. To me that is an admission of error on the manufacturer. I have seen many with the tail section cracked and several that broke...

    Crank, no start, white smoke.

    Same here. I never seen any break except on line. Not sure if it involves some operator error on fuel pump installation. But I never seen or heard of them broken before the internet came along. And I can't find one for giving away at the moment. I would need to go out and remove a fuel pump from...

    M1028 Front Brake troubles

    May help. May not. When I take the calipers off of Dana 60 axles or any calipers I use my 2" rolok grinder and polish the upper and lower bracket grooves on the hub/bracket and apply grease/never seize to the groove, wedge and spring. Clean it well like I am sure you have done and it should move...

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

    Injection pump Spider lines are hard to come by? I did NOT know this. I will keep that in mind as I just scrapped a few 6.2 engines complete. I don't get any calls for them anymore and I don't trust to sell them as operational. Transmissions are in the same boat. Too old to warrant and scrap...

    New To Me Engine, Won't Start

    The engine will not start on starting fluid only. Pouring diesel down the intake will not start the engine either. The heat glow plugs and sprayed fuel will ignite the engine. I think you have air in the system. Start at the fuel filter and go forward from there. Open all the nuts on the...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    No progress to report on any of my current projects. After 7 inches of rain in 5 hours I am happy to still be high and semi dry. Last night I was a bit worried when the back field was 3 feet deep. Been a while since that happened. Hoping for some M1009 tailgate repairs tomorrow. The weekend I am...

    Hot Relay ???

    I never shut off the service light switches in any of my CUCV's in over 20 years. Fact I un-nutted the switch on snow plow trucks and wire tied the switch under the dash. Saved me a lot of calls that the lights didn't work. I never heard of it being an issue. Or should I say it never caused me...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Today after work I set a simple goal. I wanted to install the block heater on the Red Devil M1009. It was a piece of cake. I really like the part where I punch the freeze plug out and the coolant pours down on my arm. Fun Fun. I just grabbed hold of the plug with the vise grips and pulled it...

    Crank, no start, white smoke.

    I guess you are in a hurry for one. I have a few in scrap engines. PM me an address. Wheel bearing grease will hold it up in there till you install the pump. Put a new pump on while you are in there. Good Luck.

    Wont start when warm?

    The injection pump has checked out and needs replaced. And the 6.2 diesel is not a converted gasoline engine. The Goodwrench 5.7 diesel was a converted 350 Oldsmobile gasoline engine. And in the end after replacing and redesigning the engine they done it right. But by then the damage was done...

    kicking around ideas for ac on my 1009

    Sounds to me that it would be easier to just buy a truck that has air conditioning. Financially and functionality it just makes more sense. Paint the new truck Camo if it makes you feel better. But A/C and sound systems were never intended in the CUCV R & D. Totally why I would do with out A/C...
