Have you had any luck on taking the starter apart and reassembling? Been thinking that the starter case was not clocked correctly. Causing the 2 sections from being completely flat to each other. And from the picture provided and RattleSnack posting picture makes it easier to look at. The case...

M1008it can you take starter out and take a complete picture of the starter from the side and one of the starter drive. I also wonder if the solenoid return spring has been installed.

The starter is easily disassembled by taking the 2 bolts out at end of case. And easily reassembled also. If you would like to do that to inspect all componants.

The Yep I could not open it, I got it open, not very computer literate. Thanks

OK I just seen video, and the flywheel looks to have severe problems, all the gteeth are chipped, ate up from grinding starter drive, and the drive itself is not fully engaging nor releasing back to disengage. And RattleSnack has a potential issue spotted as well, the housing may not be...

I could not get a video?

There are 2 different brackets also, but if I remember right the bracket would not work unless the holes have been ovaled out.

I am going to ask a few questions that answers are unknown to me. Did the original starter work on your truck before problems? Or you bought starter and never used it before sending out for rebuild? Did they rebuild yours or give you a replacement? How do the flywheel teeth look, are they worn...

Nice now you can pass it on!

If you are losing antifreeze into engine the cylinder-s can be localized to see which side is having problems. Pulling exhaust manifold will tell you which offending cylinder-s it is. And if you choose one head to do you may as well do both sides with new head gaskets and head bolts. I would...

If it is getting antifreeze into the cylinder in an excesive amount be careful not to hydro lock a cylinder, bent rod, broken ring land.

Do you drive the vehicles regular or rarely? When is the last fuel that was put in, does it time with smoking more? Last filter change? Thunderbirds post will help to narrow down possibilities.

All the MV's start out as working machines, some more than others. After military life most are used for their useful life as working machines, until economic repair has them parked and forgotten. Hmm, interesting as the life cycle of equipment sometimes mimics human behaviors. Then some are...

My guess would be maker and lot number of the metal manufacturer.

Why not go with a 4:10 Ratio axles with what trans combo you choose. The 4:10 will still give you a better compromise with both ends and still give good towing capacity. My 1982 Silverado K30 6.2 with 4:10 and M40-Turbo 400 has very good highway speed and will pull hills with 6000# on a...

Thanks for your post. I rode allot of elsi's in my day. Hard to believe that they are 50 last year. My first 125 has always been my favorite. 74' at 125 pounds and 13 years old racing at Riverdale Raceway. Then to 250 then 450 Maico. Bikes of today eat the old ones. I could go on forever.

Thank You

CUCV alternator rebuild kits, anybody?

Welcome Back! After sitting did the engine labor to get stated, having any fluid in the cylinders can hydrolock the cylinder as fluid will not compress and some of the time can crack the piston lands between rings trying to relieve pressure to get piston cycling. Having air bubbles in the...

Does anyone on the forum still sell the kits?
