This is the improved version of what I have. You can choose what is displayed in the two digital windows. Supposedly it has Bluetooth to talk with your phone. I don’t know if you can have stuff displayed there as well...

Look at Dakota Digital as well. It has been 7 years, but when I wanted to order one of their gauge clusters. I called them up and asked if I could have a 4,000 rpm tach instead of an 8,000 rpm tach since it was a 6.5 diesel. They did it for no extra charge. Supposedly their newer stuff is very...

It really depends on how the conversion was done and what is left. You need to get to know the -20 Technical manual for the CUCV trucks. Click the TM tab at the top of the page to download it. Appendix E or maybe F at the back of that manual has the wiring diagrams. That is what you will want to...

Thanks Rory. I forgot to mention the LMC relay. All of my trucks have that as well.

I have the Truck lites in my Cowdog truck as well. 4 years of trouble free super bright lights. If you can swing the price, they are worth it. I had the Sylvania Silver Star H4 lights in 4 trucks at the same time for a few years. O’Reilly’s had a 1 year free replacement on them. Between the 8...

As written above Right Stuff is what you use on a super clean surface. I normally go a step further and get them on with the bolts finger tight. Then I torque them to the really light spec after it has set up for hours or a day. The block of wood thing works great with the valve cover upside...

The fuel gauge staying on full a long time is a product of the way GM made the system back then. 3/4 tank is normally around actually 1/2 tank or less fuel in the tank. I forget which way GM did theirs, but Ford did it the opposite way and their gauges at the time would drop to around 1/4 tank...

Does your new starter have the starter support bracket for that starter? If not, don’t start it again until you do. Here is a video I did about the starters and brackets: The transfer case is supposed to be able to go from 2 hi to 4 hi while moving. Every other shift is supposed to happen...

Good find.

I am writing this trying to be nice and not coming across as a mean jerk. Ok? Any 30 plus year old diesel vehicle you buy was built to be happy at 55 mph. If you have to have someone work on it then no matter what the vehicle is, you will run out of patience and money real fast. The M725 and...

The Duramax filter also has the handy hand prime pump. Very nice to have. Even with that hand prime, pull the pink wire and turn the engine over with the bleeder open to make sure you have it bled before trying to start.

The M35A2 multifuel engine doesn’t have glow plugs.

What engine are you working on? The Chevy CUCV 6.2 engines use 12 volt glow plugs. However, fully charged batteries should deliver 12.6 volts at first but will probably be down to 10.9 or so volts after all 8 pull voltage for 12-18 seconds. But, if slave starting from a running vehicle the...

The hardest part is getting the screws that hold the IP cover off without breaking them in my opinion. I will try and do a video about it soon.

Thanks for watching and subscribing! I had one of those solenoids that I could fix on the bench, install it on the engine and it would break in a different spot when I plugged in the wire. I ended up soldering it on the engine with the plug plugged. I worked the next 20,000 miles I owned that...

Are you talking about the solenoid that pushes against the throttle arm? If so, they are very hard to find and extremely expensive if you do find one. Peel back the rubber boot on the end with the screw head on it. You will see two really thin copper wires running from the plug to the coil...

Replacing the plug at the alternator is something I have done on all of my trucks. I didn’t even think about it in this thread. Sorry. I’m going to write it again. Trace every single wire in the diagram posted above and clean every single connection. You didn’t mention if your glow plug...

You didn’t mention the Double E thing earlier. That makes it easier to write you. Have you a way to measure the ALT 2 voltage while driving? Going on the something loose theory I wonder if what is loose is a contact blade at the big plug on the rear of the gauge cluster. Or, the main fuse for...

The Jag needs a box trailer! Then all your other problems are solved.

14.4 volts is considered max output for an alternator. You seeing closer to 15 volts to mean means resistance somewhere or since the light flashes intermittently. Something loose somewhere. Have you had a chance to remove, clean with sandpaper and or nail file and then re attach every single...
