If you are talking about H2 17 inch wheels with the 35 x 12.5 tires which I think are 315/75 in metric speak. If you have normal Chevy 8 lug axles from a 3/4 ton or 1 ton. Then, the answer is kind of. The wheels fit just fine. The tires will not at stock height without a lift or cutting the...

Looking good Rich.

You should be good then. A porch chair cushion over the radiator and grill guard will help with mid section bruising. Stand on a stool, not the grill guard as well. This job is basically one looooooong one arm pushup. An impact with impact sockets make it a breeze.

I have taken a lot of these intakes off and have yet to find one where rust is an issue with the fasteners. Using an impact to remove the nuts from the studs is better than slowly turning the nut and stud by hand. The intake is there to make the air go through the air filter instead of...

You probably have the worst case scenario. Cracked injector line end. Or a severely scores IP flare fitting. Either way. Time to pull the intake and remove the lines yo inspect.

No O-rings on those lines. Just a metal flare that has to be perfectly clean and tight. A crow foot on a long extension from the rear will let you get in there to snug it up. If it is already snug. Then loosen a few turns and try pulling the line back a bit to let the fuel wash away any...

I also have done it with the intake still on. It wasn't pretty, but it can be done. Maybe some slight bending that will need to be returned to original getting the new one in. It has been a few years. Just cut the old one to get it out.

Yep. Parking brake is my guess as well. I have done it 3 or 4 times in the last 18 years. The brake band is so saturated with gear oil you don’t notice the slight drag until it all burns off. Then the Hand Of God reaches down and stops you in a hurry with lots of smoke.

Both direct drive and redux starters are very easy to rebuild. The HMMWV -20 TM is a great resource with step by step instructions on how to do the redux.

Yes, under voltage on the starter will do tremendous damage to it. I did almost the same thing years ago. Only a slave from a running 24 volt truck would make it turn fast enough to start the engine. But the starter would be too hot to touch for more that a few seconds afterward.

I didn’t write enough in my response last night. Yes a not working or not wired up cold start advance solenoid will cause a puff or two of dirty white smoke and an engine acting like it is mad you woke it up. But, at most it will last 20-30 seconds when the temperature is above 40° out. One of...

White smoke that is greasy normally means cold engine. Puffy white smoke means coolant in one or more cylinder. Pull the radiator cap while the engine is running and see if you are getting signs of combustion pressurizing the coolant.

The museum hasn't put up next years schedule yet: https://americangimuseum.org/events/ Traditionally it has been the 3rd weekend in March. We will see.....

I agree. Negative pressure can only result from the mechanical lift pump not pumping. The IP is doing all the work in other words. Or, as suggested above you have a clogged sock in the tank and the mechanical pump just can't get anything to pump. It looks like you have the PSI gauge in the...

Drivers side alternator charges the front battery and keeps the truck running. Passenger side alternator charges the rear battery and is only used for a stock starter motor and stock glow plug system. If your truck starts up like it should. Less than a second of cranking time. Then that back...

It reads like you have a broken foot, need to drive your CUCV to work and now it can't be driven because your alternator rear housing is broken. Correct? Put your passenger side alternator on the drivers side, wire it up and isolate the wires that went to the passenger side alternator so they...

No need to pull the intake. Just pull the air filter and use a flashlight to look around. I was motivated by this thread and cooler weather to come home and crawl around my M715. I found a probably original house between the fuel tank and lift pump. I replaced it and all is well again. I can’t...

Remove the hose from the lift pump to the fuel filter at the fuel filter. It should be under pressure and squirt fuel so have a rag handy. If you just get a dribble, then pressure is being lost either back through the mechanical lift pump or from a hose or at the IP. Does your new fuel filter...

Start at the firewall. If you use a 10mm socket to unbolt the wires at the back of the fuse panel. Everything will unplug. That plug is actually 3 different plugs snapped together. Rear harness, under hood and front lights. Use appendix E from the back of the -20 manual to verify you are getting...

Unfortunately, no. You have low pressure fuel at the inlet to the Injection Pump. Now, the pump has to take the fuel and turn I into timed high pressure pulses. You do have several options: Don't touch anything and just crank the engine for around 10-15 seconds. Wait 2 minutes and repeat...
