    Cucv coolant leak at rear of block

    Heater hose clamp? That is pretty much right above the starter.

    intermittant wiper conversion

    Glad to read I am not the only one to fail at getting the switch replaced on the bench.

    intermittant wiper conversion

    I agree. I did a column swap instead of trying to figure out which of the many discontinued and very expensive switches that then needed to be installed in that nightmare procedure.

    intermittant wiper conversion

    I used a washer tank from a 1988 GMT 400 truck. Bolted up on the inner fender drivers side. It has the pump in the bottom. Just short jumper wires needed to connect the stock plug to the motor.

    6.2 IP timing

    I walked over to my GEP build project just to check before I answered. I only have a slotted hole in the top gear for the IP. I went and looked at some of my 6.2 and GM 6.5 gears. Different part numbers but, they have a round hole and a slotted hole. Either gear, the slotted hole is always...

    intermittant wiper conversion

    I got almost the same thing going on with the Cowdog. I had working intermittent with the intermittent switch installed and the GM module plugged in. Of course, I had to go through I think 4 modules to get one that worked at intermittent. Then all was well for a while. Now, I turn on the...

    Replaced 6.2L injection pump, now it doesn't turn off

    Sorry about the pink wire comment. I saw 6.2 and answered the question like it was a CUCV. Wire #54 does the exact same function on the HMMWV.

    6.5 Turbo Diesel w/ crate. Iron planet purchase.

    Yes, just move that entire bracket back as I described a few post up.

    M1008 shift indicator

    Unplug all of your battery cables. The leads on the back of the volt meter will touch metal otherwise and blow the fuse at the bottom of the fuse panel. Pull your headlight switch out, reach under to find the release button on the switch itself to remove the pull handle. Or, try and get the...

    6.5 Turbo Diesel w/ crate. Iron planet purchase.

    You will need to move the rear engine mount back a few inches to allow a starter motor to fit. Basically, unbolt the rear cross bar from the engine and the can. The engine will sit there just fine without the rear support. Slide the cross bar back until it wants to drop off the rack it is...

    M1009 starting problem after short run

    One of mine does that every so often. I have a small leak in one of the fuel lines between the lift pump and the IP. I have a spin on filter. I just haven't replaced all the hoses yet to get rid of the air inlet. Mine will do as you describe. Fire up and run just fine for a few seconds...

    optimizer long block - hummer 24V or cucv 24v

    With our cool temps currently. I think your temp gauge is off. Or, there is something not exact in the cooling system. With only 600° EGT. It shouldn’t be over 200° using mine as a guide. The Banks manual says around 1 psi boost at 60 mph with 400°-500° EGT on flat ground. I get that at 70 mph...

    New proportioning valve for M1009

    I have been able to get that little pin to reset by stomping the brakes very hard several times. Of course, the brakes have to be bled and in good working order at all 4 corners for this to remotely work. I also can’t figure out why stomping very hard works, but it does. Or at least it has for...

    optimizer long block - hummer 24V or cucv 24v

    Which TPS are you using? The GM one I used read backwards. I was able to tell the TCM to reverse signal and all was good after that. See if you have that option before you get into the wires.

    M1009 IP or Injectors

    Have you changed your fuel filter, checked you in tank fuel pick up sock or looked at the IP return check valve for debris? Any or all the the three could cause your issues. They are also cheap to look at and do. If you have debris in the return check valve. You then get to get an IP rebuild by...

    Replaced 6.2L injection pump, now it doesn't turn off

    If you unplug the battery, you turn off power to the pink wire on top of the IP. You also have a non charging alternator. However, something in your wiring is probably messed up to allow power to the pink wire with the key off. If, with power turned off to the pink wire on the IP, the engine...

    PASSED/SIGNED: Texas MV Bill Moving thru Senate

    Thanks for posting this. I had no idea of the 2014 rule change and didn't know about your effort. I am currently building a "buggy" for Boxcar in my class and we just discussed making it road legal the other day. Not knowing it is currently impossible.

    optimizer long block - hummer 24V or cucv 24v

    350° on the EGT is about right at idle. I see 300°-400° at idle most of the time. It jumped to 275° as soon as I fired it up this morning and was at 325° or so when the cold idle kicked off. It won't make the boost gauge move until you put a good load on it. Revving won't do it and neither...
