To the OP, did you ever find out which bolt was the correct bolt for the top alternator bolt? My top bolt just sheared off, and I'm in the process of trying to back it out. No idea what bolt is the correct replacement though, hoping you've figured that out. If not, I will post back here with my...

Look at me... answering all my own questions! :) Found this when I plugged in the 610-653 part number. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?164647-1008-10-28-31-lug-and-nut For the record, on the 5/4 CUCVs: Dorman 610-189 3 inch long for rear Dorman 610-563 for 3 inch front

I should add, I believe I found the replacement just now... The Dorman 610-563 appears to be a direct replica of the old bolt. At $10-15/ea (HOLY SH!T) I probably will not be replacing the bolts. How safe is it to reuse the original old bolts? All look good, no cracks or issues that are...

I am replacing the rotors on my 1986 M1028. I have disassembled/pulled everything, and I'm now trying to put the new wheel bolts/studs back in to the hub and rotor. I bought new Dorman 610-283 bolts (which are spec'd on multiple sites as correct), and I can pound them almost the entire way in...

Done. Wife requested an ALL STOP right when I got the starter out of the truck yesterday evening. Happy wife happy life. Went to HD this morning to get extractor bits, got it knocked out with minimal issues. Really spent time making sure the rear bracket was lined up and tightened downed...

Any advice while I'm climbing under there to fix it? I've got new bolts, it's been shimmed and running fine for a year, I've got Blue Loctite. Anything I'm missing? I tried to post a couple pictures, but for some reason the Manage Attachments link isn't working.

Lesson learned. When your truck starter acts up out of the blue, and you clear out the garage to work on it during a rainy Memorial Day weekend in central Texas, you should always crawl under the truck before cranking it to see if anything needs to be hand tightened first. Starter skipped/ran...

Been a busy week, but I did get a chance to turn it back down to approx. where it was before. Rough idle and surging are completely gone now. I assume that a previous owner had already turned up the IP and I just pushed it too far with my additional 1/8 turn. The EGTs never got too high with it...

Chaski, sorry for the confusion. Yes, I removed the guide pin and governor spring in order to line up the hole to turn up the pump. Reinstalled the governor spring assembly, reinserted and tightened down the guide pin screw, etc. Good eye, I just skipped over that part since it was...

I should add, this may be entirely normal for those that turn up their IP, but if so I was not expecting it. My gut tells me there's an issue with the fuel - whether it's delivery, injectors, timing, etc. Is it possible that the extra 1/8 turn has magnified a possibly worn out or faulty injector...

I've been researching the heck out of this site and a few others about a problem I'm having. Hopefully someone here can help me out. I have a K&N air filter, 2.25' mandrel bent dual exhaust from the manifolds back with h-pipe, and hi flow Hooker Aero mufflers. The truck has always had a...

@porkysplace, thanks for the info. @cucvrus, I agree. The springs will be replaced this summer when I do the lift. Planning on running the Tuff County 4" HD springs up front, and a shackle flip in the rear. 1" zero rates front and rear also. Was planning on all new u-bolts, brackets, greasable...

I just wanted to post a blurb regarding shock replacement on a stock height CUCV. I've had my 1986 M1028 for about a year now, and have finally gotten tired of the front suspension crashing down over every single little dimple in the road. After looking around online, and going over and over...

Good(er) to know... Thanks!

Good to know. I'm out here in Bee Cave, west of Austin. My 1028 has been altered by previous owners, including a ridiculous metallic green paint job that is peeling off of the CARC. If I'm just a CUCV enthusiast can I still attend the meetings? Not sure if you guys are hard core MV folks or open...

Thanks, I'll have them tested. I thought I had it fixed this morning. Got it running, let the batteries charge, let the alternator do it's thing. Alternator was putting out around 13V, low but better than nothing. Drove it about 50 mi, stopped, started right back up. Started it last night, fired...

Also note that in the last pic, the engine block to firewall ground has been relocated to the bottom left bolt on the back of the fuel filter. That is because the original ground location had rusted out, and it was loose. I got really solid ground readings off that particular bolt, so I lashed...

Here are some pictures, hope it helps... Back side of the AutoZone DL7157 alternator. 2/0 battery/ground/starter cables. the 3rd pic shows the wire that must be connected in order to get starter to crank. 2AWG cable to distribution block. Close up of distribution/glow plug relay. Pic of...

I have looked through the threads for the last 2-3 days, but cannot find what I need. I'm having a lot of electrical issues, and could use some help from you gurus out there. I have a 1986 M1028 that was rather poorly converted to 12V by someone at some point prior to me owning it. Batteries...

Sorry. 1986 M1028.
