Bummer it didn't solve it. If you're getting black smoke at times other than full throttle, I would guess you are over fueling. No idea if that could cause the tapping. Yeah, I know the disheartening part. Putting work into my rig and camper build to likely have a bad head gasket and/or...

Nicely done. Yeah, that is one thing I cannot understand why GV continues to use, is that stupid connectors to the control box. That is like '70's tech there. I would think they could upgrade to better connectors but I guess this makes all of their control boxes interchangeable.

Very nice and clean install.

I think you can buy that with either setup, the individual lights/switch or the box type like I have in mine. Not sure if there was a price difference but your setup can make for a cleaner install.

Yes, I have the foot switch as well. Fitting just has standard pipe threads. Not sure if 1/8" or 1/4" NPT but if you take it, it will be easy to figure out.

Installation is cake, as far as the mechanical part. Took me about 2-3 hours total. Longer part was wiring. I was able to run the wiring up the backside of the pass. side cab, since the M1010 had a hole there for wires. I used a plug and sealed it, with a smaller hole and rubber grommet for...

Yep, just was going to say that. I actually want to change to a 90* fitting on mine as with a hose on, it rubs the underside of the floor.

That will do it. Hope it did not fry the alt, as alts do not like being disconnected from the battery while running. It spikes the electronics inside and kills them. Fingers crossed just a simple terminal replacement.

Yep, got mine years ago and it works very well. About the only issue is for some fitting (on other vehicles) I have had issues where it wouldn't fit the space.

Congrats! Job well done and glad you're back on the road.

I think I did 30-35 ft lbs with some locktite. Nice job on seal and balancer install.

I always put just a little bit of oil on the end of the balancer part that touches the seal, during installation, just so it won't possibly tear the seal. Only one I didn't do that on was my 12v Cummins, since it had a special tool and specifically said not to, as it had some coating on it...

Yep, I reused both the washer and bolt. Added a little locktite to the bolt before installing.

I used a piece of PVC and the balancer installer with a flat plate over it. Pressed right in. Not much room for a hammer down there.

Nice work. I used the same diff covers front and rear and Lube Locker gaskets. Only issue was on the front cover. I recall one hold being slightly off and needed a little file work to open the hole up. Before you put your gaskets on, double check all the bolts will thread in.

Too bad you were not in the San Diego area, I would have welded that for free. Looking like you are getting things together.

Great job on all the stuff you are doing. Going to be a CUCV mechanic in no time.

Pull the driveshaft and take it to get checked and balanced. If it is okay, put new u-joints in. My M1010 had a similar vibration but the shaft "looked" straight. I mounted a GoPro type camera on the frame, pointing back to view the driveshaft. Sure enough, there was a slight bend it in that...

I picked up a lightly used GV OD and installed it on my M1010. It has really made it better for driving as 65mph is 2500-2600 RPM with 33" tires. If you have stock 31" tires, you can add about 300 or so RPM's to those numbers. I am running 255/85-16 tires (33") which require no lift and they...
