You are now it seems down to what the Technical Manuals calls “Trace wiring.” I know you wrote that the wiring between the firewall and the rear sockets looked ok. But, somewhere some wires are touching.

Above the oil cooler lines is a little square headed set screw. It is blocking a pressurized oil gallery. That is probably the best place to put another gauge sender. I use it for an oil temperature sender on one of my trucks. You will look at the set screw and think a 1/4” socket extension...

Unplug the ground from the front battery before you pull the pictured plugs apart. You will find it is actually 3 different plugs going into the back of the fuse panel. Engine, front lights and rear lights. The 3 plugs kind of snap apart and back together. There will be a black goo inside the...

Here is a video I did about the ground tab on the fron blinker socket and replacement:

Basically, there are only 4 wires going to the back of the truck for service lights. There are the black out lights and the fuel sender wire as well. Have you considered the former military vehicle registration or antique registration? No inspection required. If you wait until January...

I agree. It isn’t so much the miles as the years on the soft parts.

That chili was GOOD! Don’t make fun of him.

Here are a few more convoy videos:

I’m still going through videos to see if I want to post them of the convoy. But here is everyone leaving the ranch and the flame thrower:

I’m loaded up and ready to go. I wanted to do all of this not in the mud the forecasted rain is supposed to create tonight and tomorrow.

I have a Nostalgia unit in mine but think a Vintage has got to be better. Here is a video I did about it:

The trouble with just bending a regular neoprene hose is the radius of the curves are to tight and it will kink. Braided stainless steel hose can do the curves without kinking. However, with hose clamp nipples on each end AN fittings that work aren’t cheap. Something like this can be cut down...

Don’t forget we are camping in a different location everyone!

Tire pressure will really affect the “lane change” feel of the locker with a manual transmission. My M715 with a 6.2 diesel with the tires way up in pressure drives like any other vehicle. Lower the tire pressure to around 20 psi and it is a different animal. Especially on the power in 3rd gear...

I have never read that the M1010 had more power than the rest of the CUCV vehicles before. Nothing is mentioned in the manuals about that either. GM had 2 versions of the 6.2 back then. The EGR equipped low power version and the non EGR J code version in the CUCV trucks. The intake manifold was...

With no turbo you really don’t feel any difference turning up the IP. At least I didn’t the time I tried it. If you get black smoke out the exhaust on a non turbo diesel you have too much fuel going in. Flooring the accelerator from a stop might give you a touch of black for a second or two...

Don’t do anything else until you can verify what has been done, what parts are actually on the truck and how they are are connected.

I do not know when the hard tops changed window sizes. The 1964 TM if I remember correctly has the small windows shown. But the ones from near the end of production show the sliders. I Just don’t know. Sorry.

TM 9-2320-289-20. Appendix F. Page F-9 is the charging circuit wiring diagram. Click the tab at the top of this page labeled TM to access a free download. My signature is a link to my YouTube channel. I have a video about the TM’s and a few about the wiring. Not one specifically to your exact...

As pointed out above, the 6.2 was not designed to be powerful. It was designed to fit in the same place as a gas V8, have the same power as a 2 barrel 305 and get twice the mpg. It does that perfectly! It was also designed and used in a time when 55 mph was the law of the land. More air in is...
