There are two toggles for the black out and service lights on the CUCV trucks. The black out drive light is a momentary switch. If you have the other switch set to black out lights and then hit the black out drive light switch. The drive light should turn on but the switch will go back to the...

The 6.2 is an indirect injection engine. Any temperature below 150° is considered cold to this style of engine and glow plug use is needed. Keep that in mind once you get the batteries and starter right.

The air regulator is on the engine side of the firewall pretty much in the middle. But they click and thunk. Not howl. Look under the radiator at the frame rail on the drivers side. That is where the horn wire comes out of the steering column shaft. That wire is hot at all times so put on...

Do you mean the fuel return lines?

Do all he listed above since they are common maintenance items you should be doing anyway. Also check your vacuum line from the vacuum pump to the throttle position valve on the side of the OP and then both rubber and metal vacuum lines all the way to the transmission. Plus the vacuum can on...

Check battery voltage. If you have good terminals at the battery, voltage at the battery and still nothing with any switch inside. Try removing all the ground wires, cleaning them and putting them back together. If still nothing, check voltage at the starter motor. If present there, you...

Loose wire on the solenoid, failing solenoid, crud or something kept the starting from evening sitting against the block? I'm just throwing ideas out because to me it seems something isn't right with the starter unit itself. Pull it back off and ground test it. Verify the Bendix is moving all...

I was just suggesting you verify power is actually getting to the glow plugs. While you are doing that, Ohm out the plugs themselves to verify they are still good.

30 seconds of cranking is going to kill your starter motor. White smoke on the diesel engine means there is fuel but not enough heat. You wrote that the glow plugs were replaced recently. Are you sure they are all getting power?

I would suggest pulling the access panel and figuring out exactly what is stopping the glass from going all the way down. I had one where an arm of the regulator was hitting a bolt and it wouldn’t go all the way down sometime. Another with the end felt felt so bad it was in a wad keeping the...

I would love to have a cable for on/off. Like you though, I have only heard about it. Not actually seen it.

Technical Manual TM9-2320-289-20 appendix F diagram F-1 is the stock starting circuit. That diagram shows the purple/white wire is the signal from the ignition switch. The stock relay then sends power to the purple wire which is bolted to the starter solenoid. There is no blue wire. I would...

As stated in both the threads you searched out and brought back to life. The under dash relay on a stock truck is where the 12 and 24 volt systems meet. It isn't needed in a pure 12 volt truck. I would suggest tracing the wires you have. What ever wire is on the small terminal of the...

Probably an air leak somewhere in the fuel system. Cracked hose or fuel filter most likely. How long did you try cranking after it died? One of my trucks will do that every few months. 10 seconds of cranking, sit for 2 minutes, repeat. Normally fires back up again after the 5th or 6th attempt.

Correct. That is why I wrote “civilian/CUCV”.

Yes, just swapping the top covers will get you 24 volt military or 12 volt civilian/CUCV set up. All of the GEP engines I have seen have the protected 5 sided safety Torx screw on them. Be aware a special tool might be needed. Here is the best listing of the part numbers to tell you what you...

Glad you got it figured out. After I wrote the above I went out and looked under the hood of my m1009 to make sure I had the wire colors correct. Something about the back of the drivers side alternator didn’t look right so I touched the bolted on red wire. It moved. So did the stud in the...

I am not sure what you mean by wired plug and plug on alt. There is the plug plug on the side that has 2 wires. One is always battery voltage and one (brown stock, white with replacement plug) that is 0 key off and battery voltage key on. There is also battery voltage on the red wire that...

The 6BT is over 1200 pounds fully dressed out. A 6.5 is about half that. Have some mercy on your front axle and kingpins. $800 is a great price as mentioned in the post above. Buy it and flip it. Also know that the NV4500 had a specific bellhousing for Dodge and a specific bellhousing for...

Well, 5 of them are trailers. But, yeah. I still have all of them plus a few sports car type things. My wife says I am a sick, sick, sick man.
