My first thought is pilot bearing aligned? my second thought is if this is with the parts in the truck. Did you beat the firewall back some on the passenger side?

It is all part of owning a fleet of vehicles no newer than 30 years old Kenny. Sometimes you can schedule the maintenance and sometimes it schedules itself. I'm just glad I can finally point to a specific part and say "this was the problem, it is fixed now so all is well." I don't like the...

Thanks Rich. He is actually over in Palestine at fish Camp until Sunday. I will email you where the truck is. I got home and started cleaning the removed redux off. As soon as I wiped the solenoid clean enough to see it wasn't a Delco and has a little "made in Brazil" stamping. I stopped...

There are also the captured nuts on the firewall for the generator regulator box mount. That only dates it to before 1967 though. I thought the hinged mud flaps ended in 1958? A bed swap is easy too.

I got RED from McKoen in December of 2010 as a parts truck for my M1009. Soon after my son Colton convinced me it would be a great project for him to build and become his truck. He was 12 at the time. There is a thread on here somewhere about the RED build. September of 2011 my direct...

Thanks to you posting this today, I have to buy a set myself. RED cranked slow for Colton this morning. 4.5 year old O'Reilly's group 31's. He is taking RED to start college next week. I don't want to risk him getting stranded with no 24 volt slave source nearby. I will take the old ones, run...

GEN 2 is the back battery. However, normal battery life is around 3-4 years. Consider yourself fortunate and get a new set before you burn up the starter motor through the under volt condition you are forcing it to work in.

There is an old saying that I believe came from the RAF during the early days of the Battle of Britain: "Reduce the revs and boost the boost. You'll make it home to roost." Kind of a simple diddy to help young pilots stretch their fuel to get back alive. I was reminded of that the other day...

I had a 1989 700R4 truck sitting next to a TH400 truck all stock. I unhooked both shift linkage rods because I had read the same thing about no difference. Then I tried to measure or figure out some difference. The 700R4 column shifter moved further down. Once I had them both out of the...

Anything below around 160° coolant temperature on a diesel engine is considered cold. The first start of the day has the cold start advance and fast idle involved even though you have manual glow plugs. A hot start needs nothing. Trouble for all of us starts with the 30 minute to 2 hour...

All the CUCV trucks have the same pedestal/transmission mount. You are asking 2 different questions. 1) How to put a 4L80E where a TH400 used to live? 2) How to mount a NP205 to a 4L80E? To answer the 4L80E question first. It will bolt up to the stock CUCV flywheel and engine with no...

So, you are getting no fuel into or out of the injection pump? If that is correct, start at the filter. Verify you have fuel under pressure leaving the filter with the engine spinning. Pulling the pink wire off the IP and opening the fuel filter bleeder valve while cranking is the way to do...

There is also the advance arm method: Warm up the engine. Use a screwdriver to push the rod on the bottom passenger side of the pump in. If the engine dies, too far retarded. If the engine misses a bit, but doesn't die then pretty close to right on. If nothing changes except maybe a slight...

I think he is wanting two isolated ground alternators used in a serpentine system to support a 12/24 electrical system like a stock CUCV. Unless you changed things, you have two alternators on the same circuit charging both batteries in a 12 volt system.

Us too. Only going to 100° today. I think I will just tell people I have a 1994 when I start discussing this from now on.

I think the parts inside are different. DB2829 is how all 6.2 pump numbers start and the 29 is supposed to mean .29" plungers. DB2831 is how all 6.5 part numbers start. .31" plungers. The pump on the last engine I picked up from you codes out as off a 1998 6.5 HMMWV. The pump on the Cowdog...

The one in Clovis is on the west end of town on the main drag. Cannon has its own collection of gate guards at the overpass headed onto base. Here re is the one in Midland from June on 2013 when I took this picture.

I tried a few days this week and nobody answered. I will try again next week.

The CAF had one sitting outside a hanger in Midland 4 years ago. Tires low and looking neglected. There is another outside the base in Clovis, NM. If eastbound through town it looks pretty awesome because the road turns and you head right toward it for a while. Pretty big plane.

The truck is up to 1,800 miles now. Colton did 425 miles in a day last week taking a girl hiking at a park some distance away. 18.7 mpg for that tank. He drives harder than I do though. 95° seems to be the outside temperature line. Below that and I can run with the cruise at 75 on any terrain...
