Since you are new, you get welcomed first. Welcome! The CUCV trucks are basically Chevy trucks with a few things changed. They are also 1973 vintage wiring practice since that is when the body style first came out. They were a huge improvement over the previous truck wiring, but pretty darn...

NDT, You want any more 230's? I didn't know you were looking. I have 4 or 5 with transmissions in the back of my parts M35 Gasser.

I have the German ones from Badger Diesel on 3 of my 6.2 trucks. Great stuff. Call the guy and he will sell it to you by the foot. I had one end of one line that after pulling it off and on about 15 times I had to recut. The rest didn't suffer any. It sure is better than those silly little...

If the pedal is firm, you don't need to bleed it. A sponge feeling means air. Low pedal but firm that can be pumped up is rear shoe adjustment.

Time for a 3 month update. Colton pulled the rear wheel cylinders, installed new ones, new brake shoes, adjusted and bled the brakes after he put on a new frame to rear axle brake hose last weekend. This weekend we put on new calipers and pads in the front along with new hoses to each. Plus...

Are they steady all the time or only when the headlights or running lights are on? If it is all the time, then I agree with the above suggestions. A cheap way to check is to turn on the 4 way flashers. If they work, then swap the round flashers on the fuse box. If it is a bad blinker...

Do you still have the stock remote filter? If the filter is clogged, the oil will just bypass it. That block on the passenger side of the engine where the oil filter hoses go also redirects oil back to the pan if the filter isn't taking anymore. I would suggest pulling that block off and...

Glad you got it going Joe. Watching the weather we got coming in the next 24 hours had me worried about you.

The "stomp on it" fix is about all there is for the proportioning valve. The -20 manual has a paragraph and picture of a tool that is supposed to be installed on the valve before any brake bleeding is attempted. I have never seen this tool or even heard of one for sale. It is actually more of...

If I remember right, your engine was put together during your rebuild a few years ago? Those psi's sound about right for a fresh engine running 20W-50. Why so thick? The manual calls for straight 30 or 10W-30 if I remember right. I have 10W-40 diesel Rotella in mine with a pretty fresh...

Are you sure it has diesel in it? To go from running great to barely running in just a few miles almost always comes down to the fuel system. Suggestions above have dealt with fuel filters, fuel pumps, fuel return and the IP. About the only thing left is the fuel and the sock in the tank...

The hood insulator as mentioned above is a big help. We went with the full replacement floor vinyl and insulation on RED which Colton just got on the road in the past week. I can talk on the cell phone at 65 mph with the windows up, hear everything the person is saying and they can hear me...

Forgot to add another problem the same area. If you happen to turn the injector itself as you are trying to tighten the line. It will leak. 7/8 open end on the injector, make sure it is tight with the line loose. Then hold the injector with the 7/8 and tighten the line with a 3/4.

This is a very common problem. Remove it again, clean it again, install and see if it leaks. Repeat. Just be sure to tighten the fitting as little as possible because if it cracks or you crack the flare on the line, you need a new line. Which means pulling the manifold and most of the other...

Clint hasn't chimed in yet so I didn't want to doom his M715 project by writting he could drive mine while I ride with Colton. Hopefully, Clint will have his 350/3053A M715 done by then. That will then mean another person is needed. That better Lincoln?

Switching from direct drive to redux to direct drive on the starter brings up another question. Do you have the proper support bracket for each starter? They are different and could be why the original nose cone cracked.

As the varied replies show. Get whatever you want as long as it has more than around 800 CCA per battery. I went Red Tops on my 6.2 powered M715. I went to get another set for my son's M1009, RED, last weekend. We ended up getting a pair of Oreilly Group 31 batteries with the exact same...

I am so glad BMJP stuck with the 3rd weekend instead of changing to the end of Spring Break like they used to always be. I am taking my Scouts out to climb mountains during spring break and was worried about missing the Rally. It just might all work out. Colton and I will be there with the...

Look up Stanadyne dealers for your area. I found a guy in Bryan that will do it for $500. There are cheaper ones on Ebay but by the time you figure in shipping, they come pretty close to the same thing. Talk to your local tractor repair places too. Same basic IP as what a lot of tractors...

Did you get going again? Yes that is the IP. It is a Stanadyne DB-2 There is a metal tag on the side that has a bunch of numbers after it. I think there are 44 or so combinations of what exact model you could have. Several threads have been written about the numbers. It all boils down to...
