Oh, an auxiliary ground harness, now I get it. I'll make one up. Thanks for the pics! Could you take some close-ups of the plumbing for the CDR and fan clutch when you get a moment?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Dang, don't guess I am going to make this one! I better set my sights on Aberdeen and the spring Rausch rally. It was great to hear it run. That engine looked like a real piece of junk when I got it, but it cleaned up nice and sounds good.It's a great feeling firing up a project for the first time, ain't it? Better hurry, Rausch creek is next weekend!
Thanks John. I am enjoying your project too. It reminds me of my M925A2 project with all the missing bits and pieces. Good luck!Glad you got her running,I wish I was at that stage.
I have used HMMWV 6.2 flex plates on CUCV trucks. I wonder if the K20 had a 700r4 trans ? I know the flex plates are listed by either TH400 or 700r4. I didn't know what the difference was that must be it.I forgot to mention one of the issues I had a couple of weeks ago. I was trying to bolt the torque converter to the flex plate, but couldn't get the bolts to line up. I tried a few different holes and then discovered that the bolt circle was different. I found out the hard way that the HMMWV bolt circle on the TC is larger that the civi truck one. Doh! Thankfully, I had some long bolts to thread into the block to keep the trans and block aligned when I pulled them apart with the hoist. I unbolted the engine mounts from the block, supported the trans, slid the engine forward with the hoist, swapped the flex plate, slid it back and re-bolted it up. The biggest PITA was again bolting the mounts to the block.
