    CUCV Wiring Diagram color (except M1010)

    With a lot of electrical problems being asked about CUCV's lately or almost daily, I thought that maybe I would repost this thread with the colored wiring diagrams attached. I myself use the TM's for all MV's to help with something that I may have to find. The TM's are here to use, they are...

    Just complaining about GP

    It is hard to be patient when you can not wait for item to arrive.:tank: The staff has more little details to work on and when a set of paperwork has a glitch the paper has to be handled again. And I will add that the process may be faster now since there are computers to assist. I keep...

    M37 engine swap

    Welcome, what year is your favorite Ride? Do you have a running engine now and would want to work on it. Driving or using more will get rid of most problems after things like fuel system is addressed. Or powerplant swap? 230 cubic inch, how about a 250 Canadian engine? You say fuel mileage...

    Just complaining about GP

    Have to wonder what is the reason now. With all the auctions that they have there is probably no segregated process for completion, no matter if it is military, construction, state, private, no matter to the office staff, one office. Take a number and wait. Remember the first word --- planet...

    Oil Cooler Aluminum Line Leak

    Any where I see a place that will chafe wires, hoses, anything that will cause problems later I will use rubber hose of the offending size and cut lengthways and place. Clamps, grommets, plastic flextube all can be used to prevent chafing. The long unsupported aluminum tubes in front of...

    Intermittent Alt 1 light

    Matt S look at the drivers side alternator and check to see if the charging post, red wire is tight and post does not spin and insulator is complete, not broken.

    M1028 Gen 1 Light On

    Not to disparage the op thread any more but matt why would the manufacturer isolate the ground on the drivers side if the truck did not need it? After all I would like to know if a standard alt. will work to charge the battery by just case grounding. Is that what you are implying? Yes matt...

    M1028 Gen 1 Light On

    My CUCV has the isolated ground on the DRIVERS SIDE alternator. But maybe the CUCV TM's will show different. I hope my 1008A1 is not wired wrong.:shock: If it is the gremlins must have done it.

    M1028 Gen 1 Light On

    I am not familiar with a popping battery, what is that? Have you cleaned the 2 wire plug brown and red wire, that is on top rear side of the alternator? Corrosion, oil usually takes place here and the connection get weak. Some times I have to unplug and clean or just plug back in and light...
