Interesting. So I see a ground strap to the firewall and I wanna assume that thick black cable is for a slave plug, I have 2 cables just like it in my engine bay I tied down for now till we get things running and charging properly. I see you also have a small black ground coming from somewhere...

Correct. Gonna crack the injector lines and bleed the air out soon. Theyre just busy this weekend and told me not to do it myself. Is removing the glow plugs necessary if theyre manual and not key based?

Couldn't have said it better myself. The guys have been nothing but patient with me this whole time, and I've learned a lot so far. It felt really good that I put all the wiring back in and everything was correct, 24V was where it should be, 12V was where it should be. I guess we will see how...

Last night was fun. We hooked the batteries up, and nothing started melting. Turned the key and the fuel pump kicked on and some of the 12V stuff in the cab was working again - the radio and little interior lights the PO put in before me. Neat. Took out a multimeter and checked the 12V side, it...

Interesting, I read the thread. Looks like it has to do with a few things, ether breaks down oil and if the glow plugs are hot it can flash back out of the intake? I also see in some articles online that starter fluids in diesels can ignite early from the diesels high compression, which could...

Plan is to get a can of ether and turn the key tomorrow. Get her running again. Feels like christmas eve as a kid.

Everythings set up to put batteries on and bleed the air tomorrow. Alternators and belts are on. Wires are on the alternators. The inspection plate is back on. The CDR valve and hoses are back on. Battery tray is back on. Power steering lines are on. Vacuum pump is tightened down. All she is...

Ahh, I see: Hard to say, honestly. We took the bracket off that had the washers behind it, and Junior/Tom put washers on it before re-install because it looked like it had washers installed on it by PO (you could tell by the wear on the back of the bracket where the studs went in). So they put...

What do ya mean the Po? Before the PS pump had a broken wing on it on the far driver side. This one's solid. Only thing original is the brackets and on the PS pump that bottom bracket never came out it stayed there. The PS pump and attached bracket are all new.

These angles look right? Might be my eyes but that PS pump looks closer to 90 than the alternator on the driver side. Granted the pump looks way better than it did but still.

You'd be correct brother. I found a washer took it out according to the TM and here's what I've got now: Good alignment on the PS pump, able to mount the alternator bracket rod arm thing to the intake. I made a few people proud tonight. Cheers man. And good eye - I had it fixed already but...

Side question: does anybody know a diagram reference for putting on that larger driverside bracket? I feel like that is the thing causing all my alignment issues. The PS pump diagram shows the PS install assuming that bracket is already on correctly. Edit: I found it. Figure 30 on 34P

I've got it down on the driverside. Took it all the way back down to the lift point: Here's the hardware I got off: 1. Alternator bolts 2. Alternator bracket with 2 bolts that go into the bracket between the lift point and the alternator. 3. Power steering pump bracket hardware...

Been a busy couple of weeks: Removed the front driveshaft to check the ujoints, the front one is shot but the back two are smooth. Bonked the front one out. Redid the clamps on the diesel return lines on the injectors. Replaced the fuel filter. Set the alternator brackets back on the motor...

I threw a belt on and held it tight with my hand, it didn't look horrible but the power steering pump looks pretty off compared to the rest of the pulleys, and there's something up with the driver alternator top bracket because I can't adjust the alternator whatsoever. Nothing's tightened down...

Pretty sure I just saw one for sale on hillbillywizard website. Under K30 parts you can find it. https://www.hillbillywizard.com/cucv-parts/cucv-fuel-cap-rare/ $59.99 as of 3/2/23

Found the thread talking about adjusting the vacuum regulator based on 20 at the pump and 8 to the transmission. That will be adjustments made when the motor runs. We ran into a bit of a snag with the new power steering pump and driver alternator mounted - the pulleys arent lining up quite...

Spent a lot of time over the past weekend and another 5 hours yesterday at the shop. Got the intake mounted with a new gasket and hardware. Getting those injector line clips in the right spot was awful, we ended up having to back the injector lines off. As she sits now, we just need the vacuum...

Been too long since I updated, Juniors back home locally for good. No more leaving for weeks at a time and coming back for a couple of days, thankfullyI put together my battery cables and Tom helped me get the starter back on with the new bolts I had bought at the very beginning of all this...

10-4. I need to switch the connectors around, I can insulate them when I do. Thanks for the heads up
