    How to have several hours of fun with starter bolts

    I guess I have been fortunate. In ten years of daily driving the M1028A2 I have had no bolt problems. Can only think of one instance of bolt failure in 30+ years of owning and driving GM 6.2 Diesel powered trucks. You must keep the rear starter bracket in place and Don't fiddle with the IP...

    Switchless duel tanks on M1008

    The proper Tach for the C/K 10 through 30 had no fuel gauge in it. The fuel gauge moved to the lower left corner where the clock option was. If your Tach has a fuel gauge in it then it's from a larger C40,50,65 and up. Tom

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

    Don't know? Seems like more are missing the latch than those that have it. I figured it was removed for easier access to the Rifle/mounts. Tom

    deuce oil leak go's away.

    Also check crankcase breather and drip tube for blockage. To much engine block pressure can cause this. Tom

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

    The civilian trucks had a latch. My M1028A2 does not. In fact I haven't seen a military CUCV truck with one, but I've only seen a Half dozen or so. Tom

    85 cucv 6.2 push button start?

    I would cut a switch and connector out of salvage yard and splice it in and be done. But, that must be too much work for you, so you need to download the TM manual from this site and follow the diagrams at the end of this manual. TM 9-2320-289-34 Tom

    You look on the backside between the two mounting bolts? Should be a copper or plastic pipe going to the Air Filter Canister. Tom

    Alternative to Delco 27Si alternators

    I don't see were it shows those Alt. you listed to be isolated ground? You might use one but the other Gen2 will have to be modified. I agree any Alt can be rebuilt to zero time tolerances no matter the look or Condition it's in. Tom
