If you don’t want to drop the transmission and transfer case. People have had success putting 6 inch long bolts or studs in place of the bottom 4 transmission to engine bolts. Then just slide the transmission back on the studs. You still have to drop both drive shafts, undo the shifters and...

The radiator fit in the truck perfect. I am running AN hoses for my transmission cooling. The adaptors I used on the stock radiator screwed right into the aluminum unit. I have a separate engine oil cooler in front of the radiator and don't use the in radiator one so I have no idea on that...

Yes it did lower my 70 mph 90° outside air temperature engine coolant temperature with the a/c running from 206°-208° to 201°-203°. That doesn't seem like much when I write it. However, since 203° is the temperature the 195° thermostat is fully open at. The 5 degree drop is really...

Bill Heath at Heath Diesel took a 6.5 truck to the Salt Flats a while ago and ran over 150. Twin turbo and all kinds of modifications. Many articles on the internet about his engine and truck build for that run. If you call the business during lunch time you will often get him answering the...

Texas state inspections do not verify the speed is accurate. Just that the speedometer works. So, if you can remove the adaptor and get a working speedometer by plugging directly into the transfer case. That problem is solved. The 1 ton truck and ambulance Chevy CUCV trucks all had 4.56:1...

Look at the HMMWV -20 manual. It has a great rebuild section for that starter. Very easy to do.

The military switched to the reduction gear starter so it could be "original military". Make sure the bracket is installed and tight.

I put nuts on my up down adjuster screws because the plastic just couldn’t hold against the spring tension. Haven’t thought about that problem in 11 years now. After that worked on my first truck. I just put them on the rest as a matter of course. With the shift indicator. Have you pulled the...

That is the Spartan turn signal box. It was replaced with the solid state box still used mid to late 1967. Try over on the M715 zone. Several people have upgraded to the solid state unit recently and probably still have a Spartan box sitting around. Doing the upgrade yourself isn’t all that...

It helps if the phone or tablet are in a mount.

I am also an information junkie. More gauges are better! There might be an app for a tablet or smart phone that will let you have all the things you want without cutting more holes. Aircraft spruce sells similar stuff for aviation uses. Just something to think about.

You are attempting to open THE can of worms for CUCV ownership. Well, starter relay is right there with it neck and neck. Here is why it is a can of worms: The stock system works very well. Actually better than any other system GM used on the 6.2 and 6.5 engines. The stock glow plugs and...

Are you getting a dirty white smoke out the pipe while it is shaking and trying to wake up? That is usually an indication of not enough heat inside the combustion chamber. The glow plugs are supposed to glow before start up, which it reads like yours do just fine, then glow some more after...

The wipers have a weak motor from the factory. The longer the wiper blades, the slower they go. One trick is to look at your wiper motor under the hood and see if the 3 wires go through resistors before the motor. If so, bypass the resistors. It is a simple plug and play thing. It might help...

Figured that was your plan but wanted to ask. Just look up the part numbers for flexplate and converter that go into a 1988 or 1989 6.2 Suburban 1/2 ton. That should give you the right ones.

It is your truck to do as you wish. Why are you swapping? I ask because with the 3.08:1 axle gears a deep overdrive like the 700R4 really doesn't do you any good unless you are over 75-80 mph. There is a diesel torque converter that the 700R4 used with the 6.2. The flexplate I believe is...

The Dakota Digital interface works great. I have it on two of my vehicles. I have seen the clamp around the alternator method used on a few M1009's as well. They all need to be calibrated.

I thought I answered this on Sunday. But, I don't see my reply. Hooking it up like Keith just wrote about is part one of your job. Then, you get to calibrate it which he also wrote about. There is also an clamp on pressure sensor that can be used to get an rpm signal through a timing light...

I have tube less trailer radial tires on my M416. One of them leaks down about 2 psi per month. The other I haven't had to put air in for 5 years now. Yes, you can run radial tubes in a radial tire if that is your choice over tube less.
