Warren, There is the shelf that is made of welded angle iron pieces that bolts to the window sill, using the bolts that hold down the top and uses three legs that attach to the tabs that are attached to the floor and wheel well. Is that what you are talking about or are you talking about the...

I bought a couple of those relays from Saturn Surplus. I parted out a 1988 gas Chevy crew cab truck and it had the same relay that is used for the glow plugs on the CUCV. The relay I am talking about was mounted on the passenger side on the firewall. I do not remember what it was used for. This...

Hi Bob, As you can see even though I have an M887, I haven't checked this section for quite a while. I bet if the M880's were stink trucks.... oops I mean Diesels, there would be more interest in them. That 318 with a smogged out version of a carter carb, leaves the truck unable to compete in...

There's nothing special about the M1008 wheels at all. They are the same wheels as the Heavy 3/4 ton chevy, not the supposedly 3/4 ton six lug wheels, and the single rear wheel one ton chevy and GMC's. Two wheel drive of Four wheel drive, it doesn't matter. They are of 16' diamater. I'm not...

You may have a loose torque converter which would make noise at idle but when you put it into gear, apply the brakes and give it some throttle the shond may go away or change. You may actually have a cracked flywheel. It is very hard to see with the torque converter bolted to it, but you might...

I look forward to seeing your conversion completed, Post some pics as you progress. I'm shure others would be interested too.

40grit, I don't want to sound like a know it all, but A few years ago I installed a chrysler 440 with 727 into a 64 gladiator and found that cooling the engine was my biggest challange. The engine was on the verge of boiling over even on a cool day and on hot days the amount of coolant that...

MOEJOE, I think that you should get a TM, because a picture is worth a thousand words. Yes there is a bracket on each side of the windshield. Look at your top and you will see where they need to be. Just below those round socket things on each side of the front end of your top. Rubber isolators...

azgreen, The evap box will go where your military wire buss bars and rear battery are. I guess you could move the battery to the civi place over to the left of the radiator. A 24 volt alt on the right side with that converter box and the A/C compressor above the power steering pump, just like on...

40 Grit, That ought to really move. Are you using the Allison auto transmission or are you going manual? What are your plans for cooling and batteries?

warwick, The 6.2 diesel is a very dependable engine. But as stated by others can't really be compared to the modern diesels fairly. I have installed a chrysler 440 gas engine into a 1977 J20 Jeep which has the same engine compartment as your truck and I can tell you that you will be able to fit...

If the glow plug relay is not working proplerly it could give you a random sort of problem. Even if you can hear the loud click it is no guarantee that the electrical circut to the glow plugs has been made or made well. When I have had the relays act up, the yellow glow light in the dash acted...

What's an M882? George

It does not look like it landed too hard. I wonder if it was stolen?

The horn is tied into the blackout light switches. You possibly have a short up in the steering wheel area. Possibly someone in the past removed the steering wheel and pinched the horn wire.

If I'm not mistaken you have one of the CUCV 1 1/4 ton pick up trucks. They all had 456 gearing as far as I know. The CUCV Blazers had 307 gearing. Usually it is the drivetrain or most likley the broken 208 transfer case swap that makes for these speedo problems. A pick up with a blazer...

Cten, You can never think of every possibility but..... If you are going to try and drive it home. Go to your Motor Vehicles Dept and get a trip pass or whatever it is called in your state. Incase the police pull you over you will not get your vehicle impounded. I have never done this, I stay...

I have used the emergency gladhand socket to power my 1" impact wrench. It has enough flow to undo even badly rusted deuce wheel nuts with my impact wrench. I pull out the hand throttle a little. I guess I could pull it out a lot but the engine and fan get loud. It does use up the air in the two...

Ya, that's a turbo engine. The intake air goes from the aircleaner and forward through the curved pipe that attaches to the front of the turbo with those two stainless steel clamps. If this is your first "big" vehicle, just be carefull. It is big and if it rolls over you you are in big trouble...

I paid $45 for one and did not hesitate for a minute. I had changed a blown head gasket and could not find one of these. I made one out of a double box wrench and used a torch to bend it. I used a long steel bar inserted into the other box end to turn the wrench. It is mikey mouse, but I have...
