It could be aftermarket, he has two block LEDs on the grille guard, but it looked pretty damn original in terms of wear. I will look more into it tomorrow, it doesn't seem important to getting the old girl running again. My buddy Tom traced it today and swore to me it went up into the left...

@ DIVE - the wire I'm talking about is a little tough to see here, but it's to the left of the two hardlines coming off the radiator and over the frame, just in front of the PS pump pulley (bottom left corner of image). The wire runs along the driver side fender then down and over that frame...

Appreciate it DIVE, looks like I was on the right track. Luckily I knew where they went from tracing, I just had them backwards for what they did. No idea where to even start with the glow plug relay wires, might pull both ends, from the relay to the brain, measure the wires, gauge them, then...

Good afternoon everyone, Hope y'all are having a good Memorial Day weekend. Definitely going to take some time today to sit and reflect on our veterans while I wrench on the old '86. 1) Yesterday I started labeling the new engine wiring harness, I got a majority of it done. I could not figure...

Hey NC friends! I'm Jack, I live in Leland over near Wilmington. Pleasure to meet y'all.

I was using the TM part numbers and looking it up, but was coming up empty. Figured I'd ask and see if anybody knew the Spicer equivalent part numbers. I will go back into the TMs and do some more research when I get home.

Thanks Dive Dive, The part of the bracket that's broken, looking at your picture, would be the left wing. It's probably broken off 1-2" from the very end. I'm going to pull the pump out, it doesn't look like it's in very good shape to begin with, it looks like it's been leaking everywhere, but...

That would actually help a lot man, thanks. I know the guy has some aftermarket button left of the steering wheel to activate the glow plugs. That might be why that thin orange wire isn't making sense to us right now. I'll take a look when I get back over there tomorrow and see if I can find...

Yeah I don't think longer would contact anything, it reaches out and up toward the steering arm. You're following me correctly, it's a loop part, the top end of it is broken off. Bolt would come out of the pump, through the bracket loop, and a nut would tighten it to the bracket from the front...

Are you sure that long orange wire with the block bracket is glow plug related? In the picture it's the one in the center next to the coiled pink wire. The glow plugs already look there, the green wires coming out of the sheaths to each alternator. Edit: it's thin. A thin orange wire. Bout a...

That is a good point. The boys I work with frequently engage their safety squints haha. We've got glasses in the garage though. Definitely don't want to catch hot metal shrapnel in the eye

I could take it out and weld the end piece back on... that is a possibility for sure. I just dont know how long of a piece to weld on, not sure how much of it snapped off. Looks like the top part of the swinging part, where you can loosen the nut and swing the pump in and out to adjust the...

Really great info Keith. I've got the brand new 24V starter sitting on the bench right now, I'll be sure to get my hands on a bracket for the front to make sure another bolt doesn't snap (I swear it came to me that way haha). I'll pass along the drilling info to Tom. It sounds like a really...

Lookie here! Day 1 and I'm already getting so much done. I've got all 3 belts off, theyre missing teeth and cracked, I'll be replacing them with wide V belts, I heard those were better! Gonna go get them sized and ordered at Advance tomorrow. Question that came up, my power steering pump...

First and foremost, the truck has been converted to 12V, but John at Hillbilly Wizard hooked me up, and I'm going to be stripping the mess of wiring out of the truck and putting an intact harness back in. She's going back to 24V guys! I laid it out in the garage and my friends and I went over...

Hey guys, Figured I'd post one thread and keep adding onto it now, considering I'm beginning work on my CUCV and I'm coming up with questions from all directions. This is my journey to get my '86 M1008 up and running, and all the problems I'm facing with it as I find them and fix them...

Yes, correct, I've got a M1008. I've been eyeing Spicer products for their lifetime warranty, that's some good peace of mind. 7 locations - I'm missing one then. Two at the front axle, two at the front driveshaft, two at the rear driveshaft. Which one am I missing? Edit: Wait I'm stupid...

Thanks for the feedback ezgn. Super helpful. [thumbzup] So if I'm understanding you correctly, front wheels to front axle I'll need 2 Spicer SPL55-3x ujoints, one for each side. The front driveshaft to the front diff takes 2 ujoints, a Spicer 5-1310x at the front axle and a Spicer 5-795x where...

Hey y'all, Back at it. Dropped the front driveshaft to get a clear view to drill out the broken starter bolt and whaddya know, the u-joints haven't seen oil in probably 25 years. Needle bearings fell apart. I want to replace all the u-joints, figure the rest are about the same. I'm looking at TM...

Have you checked your ground connections? A lot of times I've seen electrical gremlins it could be traced back to a ground issue. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?120289-CUCV-Electrical-Ground-Locations
