    Anyone cut a hole in their cucv floor to access the top of the transfer case?

    Warthog has a M1009 with a cut out over that area. He can tell you exactly where to cut. I suggest you move the shift lever to different spots and then try getting at the cotter pin and plug. 4Lo worked best for me. Bear hugging the t-case from both front and back works too. Just wear...

    2015 TX MV Rally

    Yes on a shirt for Colton and I. Yes on a fall event. However, if it is during football season I can't for sure be there because of Colton in the band. All of October is full of band stuff Friday and Saturday until well after dark both days. Here is the video I got of what I thought was...

    Lunging

    I don't have a turbo, but I do have a 6.2 hooked to a NV4500. No such problems as you report. I agree with the several post above suggesting motor mounts, trans mount, tcase mount, rear axle locator pins, etc be checked.

    Headlights flashing on and off

    Just the head lights or all the lights? If it is just headlights, the plug for the high/low beam switch is probably coming apart because it is wrapped around the shifter linkage somehow.

    2015 TX MV Rally

    It seems we are all having "life" interfere with our plans for the weekend. It will just be Colton and I. His girlfriend has some family stuff she can't get out of. He has an academic UIL district competition in Brenham tomorrow. When ever that is over and he gets home, we will head to the...

    2015 TX MV Rally

    Does the museum know about the MKT and that it will be operational? They might make you by a vendor space. I mention that because Mullins is very picky about everything that happens that weekend. He told me to remove my M715 one year because it wasn't WWII. Another year he didn't like the XZL...

    Gen 1 light

    The green wire has two ends at the IP. The cold start timing advance inside the pump and the fast idle solenoid on the outside. The other end of the green wire is on a switch/sensor located at the passenger side rear of the passenger side head. That part gets power anytime the key is turned on...

    M1009 lift pump replacement

    I didn't check. It was dripping from the weep hole, so I pulled it. The arm was extremely loose on its shaft. They all move some, but this one flops when you move the pump. You have me curious about that now. It will be a month or so, but I have a 6.2 in my class with real easy access...

    M1009 lift pump replacement

    The mechanical lift pump on my M1009 started dripping two weeks ago. I parked it until a new Delphi unit showed up in the mail. Anybody that has done this repair knows to hate it. I have done it 2 times on M1009's in the past year. Practice did not make it any faster or easier. Lots of...

    Still got oil cooler line problems

    The filter 90° elbow you have now will rotate, but unless you remove it entirely and just go with a verticle filter. It really won't fit any other place than where it is.

    1008 won't start unless air filter is removed?

    I think the pink wire is going to be the issue. However, look at the fuel return lines and make sure the air filter isn't pinching one or more of them.

    2015 TX MV Rally

    The weekend just got more complicated. The A&M sports car club has an autocross at the old AF base that Sunday morning. I think leaving the Rally Saturday evening with all the trucks and coming back to within 4 miles in just the bomber wtih the trailer is the best solution. Sleep, Jennifer...

    A couple of M35a2 design and history questions

    All 3 of my 1952 or 1953 Gasser M35 cab rear walls have the holes for the factory small window hard top. They were all made by REO still then. My ORD 9-???? (I can't remember the manual number) Which was published in 1950 has hard top pictures and such. It even has the rear step bed pictured...

    Tx 715

    Something is wrong with that dash plate. There aren't a million holes for microphone holders like mine has. Since you are the fireman, want to swap dash plates?

    Another CUCV Alternator problem and fix thread

    4 1/2 years ago I wrote about my ALT 2 issues: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?54292-CUCV-alternator-symptoms-diagnosis-and-fix From then until now, the ALT 1 light would kind of glow anytime anything electrical was turned on. Running the lights during the day I couldn't see the...

    lift pump pressure?

    I have a psi gauge on my M715 with the 6.2. At idle, the gauge will flip around between 6-10 psi. Going down the road it is steady at around 6 psi. I have always attributed the pulsing at idle to the mecahnical pump pumping fuel that has no place to go since the engine isn't using very much...

    What is making that squeal at start-up?

    If your volt meter shows 12, then it is an add on. The stock volt meter with just a single alternator working will be just on the yellow side of the yellow/green line with the engine running and the other alternator working fine. As already posted, anybody that has done the resistor bypass is...

    2015 TX MV Rally

    Count Colton and myself in as well. He has his license, so two seperately driven vehicles will show up. I just don't know which two yet. He might even talk his girlfriend into making the weekend.

    I have some amazingly similar pictures from 7 years ago of my Gasser getting cleaned and built.

    Not shifting - Time to call a tow truck?

    I second the "set the parking brake and crawl under to manually shift it" Idea. There are sereral connections between your hand and the transmission that could have come loose. Look in the -20P to see how all the parts go together. It is really very simple once you lay there and look at it...
