Yep, going to get the cover off and look at the flywheel/ring gear. The pinion gear on the starter doesn't appear to be damaged, so I'm REALLY hoping there isn't anything wrong with the ring gear. And yeah, extensions are needed. Tried using several together, also used some of my longer one's...

Yeah I know to lift it by the bumper/frame, as I need the suspension to extend down to make room. All I have is a 3 ton floor jack though, as high as it goes will probably only reach the bumper. I can't add some blocks to it... but I really want to have some additional supports holding the truck...

Thanks nyoffroad [thumbzup] When I was trying to pull that starter out, I had thought about jacking up the truck to see if it would allow the axle to drop down enough to make some room. But someone took my jack stands back sometime ago... and I really don't like being under anything with just a...

Found this WILSON HD ROTATING ELECT 91-01-4417 - 28MT for $177 +$47 core on a heavy truck parts site: https://www.finditparts.com/products/2977109/wilson-hd-rotating-elect-91-01-441 EDIT: HA! they showed free shipping the whole time, until I went to actually pay. Then it showed $475 freight...

Thanks for the Video! And yeah the sockets and extensions sounds about like what I used. Yes going to order the bracket and some new starter bolts too. I may need to order the 13mm bracket bolt, as the head of this one is rounding off some. Would have to find a part # though. I'm sure any grade...

Thanks for the info on the Wilson, I would much rather have the Delco reman than the aftermarket stuff. I don't think that this starter is a Delco. If it were I might keep it for a rebuild. But I believe it is just a cheap aftermarket, if so I'll just use it for a core. Is there any way to...

Anyone have an opinion on the Wilson rebuilt starters? Are those Delco's that Wilson rebuilt? Or just aftermarket refurbs? The Wilson Direct Drive starters are actually more expensive than the gear reduction version. Found this Wilson Gear Reduction...

wow... even what few real Delco 28mt's I can find are $$$. Guess I'll have to find the "best" aftermarket...

I found this info from Delco's site: https://www.delcoremy.com/find-a-part/product-details/10479611 Looks like the correct Delco Part # would be 10479611 However, when searching for a real Delco, all I find is from off brands crossing over to the Delco number. I'll look to see if I can find the...

Hey all, I have a 1986 CUCV M1008 with the original 6.2 with original 24v system. Long post, you can probably skip down to the section with 👉 below. I had to replace the starter about 4 or 5 years ago with a remanufactured one. I think its what everyone calls the "direct drive" model, but I...

Actually these will work either way. I tested them before I put the dash back in. All the other lights work fine. The temp light works, as it is off before you start the truck. Then it is off or really dim, but gets brighter as the engine warms up until its fully lit.

Yeah, I think thats where this current temp gauge sending unit is at. But the idiot light isn't working or... something. The truck runs fine, haven't had any overheating problems. Have ran temp checks using a infrared thermometer, everything looks good. I might replace the sending unit, but...

I checked the wires to the temp sending unit and the glow plug right next to it. I ha repaired the connector on both of those wires. Neither of them has the original plastic cover, but after I repaired the wires I covered the end with shrink tubing. In any case, I switched the wires around just...

lol, I hope I didn't do something like that... but knowing me, I'll have to check. Thanks for the location, just didn't have time to look for it this evening as it was getting late. Will check it tomorrow.

Ok, well I cold started the truck today, and the temp light was off. As the truck warmed up a bit, the temp light lit and slowly got brighter. Let the truck idle for a bit and tested for exhaust gas in the coolant system, nothing. Used an infrared thermometer, cooling pipes near thermostat was...

UPDATE... and a new question... We have had some bad weather, a lot of rain, some snow and just plain cold. Days I just didn't want to bother working outside in. But I finally got to finish up on the dash lights 2 days ago, it was a pill getting it all to fit. But after a few mods to the dash...

yeah, hadn't thought about grinding down a socket for some reason :unsure:. Will have make one once I know I got it set right (after test driving it), so I can make sure that bolt is tight. Thanks

ok, well... I got the instrument cluster mounted back into the dash the best it has ever fit. Just took me about pulling it back out about 3 times to get this far. Even the tab that I repaired aligned right up with the screw mount clip and alignment post. I did end up reinforcing that tab some...

Ok, I got a question about the instrument cluster. I have taken this thing apart before and have always had a real pain trying to get the parts to align and fit back into the dash. Does the.... back base part?... look to be the correct one? I am suspecting that the shop I bought this truck from...

I adjusted the fuel injection pump. Was pretty straight forward like you stated, except for the bolt on the bottom right (when looking down at the engine from the front) is a really pain to get to and actually turn. Tried every type of a wrench and socket I had, just not much room to move the...
