That flexible printed circuit board needs a little voodoo or black magic mixed in to work correctly. Make sure all the tabs for the big plug are straight, in their lane and clean. You wrote you cleaned everything else. Use a Power Probe or any 12 volt power supply to test every singe circuit...

I rebuilt mine back in 2007 and didn't see this thread until just now. Not stumped, but also not sure what you want to know exactly.

Can you put an Ohm meter on the isolated ground post with one lead and on the case of the alternator with the other and not have continuity? Verify it really is an isolated ground alternator first.

The oil flows from the pan to the pump, filter, oil cooler lines and then the crankshaft bearings. Since you have added the dry oil cooler and lines. I think it would be a good idea to prime the system before you start it. A regular 8mm socket will fit the oil pump drive shaft. A 1/4" socket...

Upgrade for what purpose? If you want more oil capacity then a HMMWV oil pan for the 6.2 is your ticket. 2 gallons needed for an oil change. Just make sure it is a 6.2 oil pan. The 6.5 oil pans had a single piece rear main seal and the oil pan won't fit. If some kind of oil cooling is your...

Do you like isometric exercises? Once you find a front wiring harness you will hate isometric exercises. Because to change out the harness you have to remove all the wire holders from the frame that have a bolt and a nut on them. That means you will be under the truck hugging the frame with...

The common fault point on the CUCV blinkers is the ground strip inside the front light bulb holder.

We have never had to do an arrival recovery mission. I was close to needing help in 2013. I had just finished putting the 6.2 in the M715 that week. Maybe 10 miles of testing. When I hooked the trailer to it and loaded a M1009 all seemed well until I got to 3rd gear. Then the cooling fan started...

Now that the real information has been posted. Here is how things have worked in the past. The closer we get to the Rally people will start posting their travel plans. Normally someone near or on that route will chime in and a convoy will get formed. There have been several mini convoys out of...

Awesome.

They look correct. I have not personally tried them though. Those oil cooler lines have been a hidden fault on the trucks since new. GM did a recall a few years after the trucks were introduced. There is a chance yours has never had the recall performed. Others have called local Chevy stores...

Yes present conflict vehicles are welcome. We have always welcomed any former military vehicle. or one close to such. The museum has gradually gotten to like us too.

Have you taken the gauge cluster apart, cleaned every surfaces and the bulbs themselves? Along with making sure the bulbs are the correct bulbs for that application? What is your voltage off the front battery with the engine running?

I guess some perspective is needed. When we first started doing this thing Mullins didn't want our "new" military vehicles at his WWII show. He and his people had turned several of us away from even parking at his event in our Vietnam era vehicles. So, Lincoln got us in with the offroad...

Well, the M715 is always a hit at the museum and ready for a trip. I can’t afford the 4.5 mpg to drive the Gasser M35 there. The whistler M35A2 has a mis I think is a blown rear head gasket so it isn’t coming Unless I get some unexpected free time to repair it. The M1009’s are ready to go as...

Now I have to start worrying about what vehicle to bring again. Good problem to have finally.

Those are just regular Chevy stickers for how to change a flat. Those stickers are out there. Or at least they were the last time I looked.

Antennaclimber is a member here. When he writes about glow plugs, read and do as he writes.

Interior or exterior stuff like bumper numbers and tire pressures?

Always unplug all the battery wires if you don’t want some kind of a shock.
