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

[computer54]

Do you need transfer case parts? I still have that NP241 from an 88 1 ton with a TH400.

I mite want both and then I well have to change the trans out to the 400 and 241 from a 4L60 because if I don't use it every day it takes forever to get going .

Installed new winter front.
Cold here today and it does make a difference with engine and cab heater temps.

This is my next project. Went to town today to drop off my inspection ticket to please the revenuers and when I came back out the starter would just clunk. The solenoid energizes but the starter doesn't turn. Look like it'll be down for at least a week by time I get a starter in. NAPA wants $300 by time they get it shipped to them and AdvanceAuto doesn't seem to know what a 24v starter is. EvilBAY it is I guess......

Had the same issue and a little service cured it ... see this

Heck no you have to get the real 2 stroke / quadra-trac grease. Anything else will cause the tailpipes to smoke excessively during cold starts. My smoke shifter was stuck shut for 10 years and I just opened it up. Big 5" ones. WOW. They take lots of grease and oil. Happy Holidays.

What the Dickens is a smoke shifter? ( a tail pipe?)

I've been through TM 9-2320-289-20 Page 207 onwards and can't find any reference to some kind of mechanical valve in the exhaust ... sounds like the power valve system in my old RGV and YPVS ... Those were the days

What are you going to the old transfer case, I mite need it.

for now its collecting dust in the garage. Not exactly trash, but its there for in case my buddy needs it for his CUCv. I put it through some use running the 40s on 10 psi on rocks locked in the front. im surprised it held up as good as it did. either way not sure if i'm going to part with it just yet. or if i was, it would be a local thing as i wouldnt want to mess with shipping.

Always hated when the new guys came back with a right hand smoke shifter when you told them to get a left handed one.

This one is going to need at least bearings/bushings, the armature doesn't want to turn by hand. She's locked up. I'll eventually order the parts to overhaul it then I'll have a spare.

Similar to a "spin doctor" I think. I'm sure the mainstream media employs them.

Found the area where the smoke shifters are kept.

Looks like supply is out of flight line and prop wash.

I finally got around to changing the water pump on my m1009 upon removal of the timing plate there appears to be a spring-loaded rod on the gear that drives the fuel distribution pump does this just get pushed back with the timing plate or is there something more to retain it I have not tried to pull it out all the way

 

[cucvrus]

It just rides there in the end of the injection pump. Nothing holds it there but the cover and spring tension. May I suggest you change the front main seal while you have that torn down that far. Good Luck. Happy Holidays.

It will push back in with the plate. I will also need to replace my pump soon, getting noisy.
