Thank you for the info . I know a lot YOUR EFFORT went into the story . Thank you from the "OD" community . Lets all hope for a good and quick end to this story . Bob k
Very Nice work . The whole B series transmissions were a improvement over the early units . They are interchangeable and all around are a better unit and are a LITTLE hard to find . I bet there are a lot left in SEA !
I second what Karl said . IMHO , learning a engine rebuild on the fly is NOT the way to go . Part of the process is checking over the old parts for wear , gives you information for the rebuild . Do you have the tools ? I could go on and on , point is your best bet is take the engine to a GOOD...
I just changed my tires this week . I purchased a HF Tire Changer which worked OK taking the old tires off , but I bent the tire bar attempting to put the New tires on and started to rip a bead . I then went back to tire irons and LOTS of tire lube , but started to nick up the aluminium rims to...
Because my mind is SHOT , not sure where I saw the classified , here on this site or that other big buying/selling site . Looked like a nice MV through , ride and drive as they say .
Should be right side top of the frame rail just behind the cab . It's pin stamped into the frame so if there is a lot of rust it could be hard to see .
I think I looked at the same MV and I had the same questions , something does not appear correct with the data plates and/or the MV . Some where along the line SOMETHING got changed .:shrugs:
I think the bottom line is no matter what your age , this "OD" addiction is fun . It keeps us busy and out of TROUBLE ? and give the neighbors something to talk about ! LOL . :beer: Bob K
How are the rest of the shift's ? I would check all of the above . plus make sure your have vacuum to the modulator on the side of the trans . Bad vacuum hoses are common on these vehicles .
Agreed , sure looks like something got to those bearing journals . If it were my engine , I would hot tank the block , head and crankshaft , line bore the block , re-size the rods and perform any other machine work and reassemble . Your next problem would be to find a good machine shop .
Welcome to the insanity !! IMHO , I think a CUCV is a great entrance vehicle to the Military Vehicle hobby . Parts and pieces are readily available . They do have there issues , but so does my M37 , so go for it and have fun !!!! We have a few CUCV members in our club and I would also suggest...
It was a GREAT show , picked up lots of stuff , 4 TRIPS to the truck ! Paddle Boat ride was a lot of FUN , nice way to see the sights . Hats off to all involved in setting up the shows , lots of great effort ! I was surprised at the AMOUNT of MV's on display , some really , really nice vehicles...
If you could post a few pictures of the bearings , it might help . Hot tanking the block is very important as well as making sure the oil passages are CLEAN . I would look for a new crank , check your rods and mains and line bore your block . BTW , it sounds like what ever happened started at...
Usually when the bearing wear prematurely , I would look at contamination and or oil starvation . Did you hot tank the block and check all the oil passages ? Is it just one main bearing/rod bearing ? all of them ? . IMHO 60 over cut to the crank is a lot .Did you line bore the block ? Sorry to...
