I just spent a few minutes looking through a -10 TM. I couldn’t find THE word. However, my experience has been engaging the front axle switch while moving works just fine. I have never tried on pavement. Since I also have a sprag automatic engagement truck and have had the steering wheel...

Great! I wasn’t aware any were available.

You will not find any auto parts store selling an alternator with the ground terminal or the STE/ICE terminal. That is why it has already been mentioned that you should not get rid of your original alternator. It is also part of the reason I did the videos. Thanks for referencing and watching...

Dang. I forgot about him having the NP205 instead of the NP208 us lesser truck owners have. Don’t put Dextron in the NP205.

Welcome to the green iron disease party! At the top of the page there is a tab ”TM”. Click it and find the section on Technical Manuals for the Chevy CUCV trucks. Print them, download them or just look at them. The one ending in -10 is like a civilian owners manual. It also talks about...

Try lining the marks up straight across and see how it does. Here is a video about different ways to check the timing:

Out us all reading about your issues. You are the only one with hands on the truck. I am in no way trying to offend or belittle. You started with a fuel issue. Then it was ignition. Exhaust issues too, but they should not have any bearing on how it actually runs. Now it is an unknown loss of...

I look at it the same as the push button light switch replacing the tried and true 3 lever switch. If you can’t make a large amount of money on it invent something that you can make a large amount of money on and get it on the appropriation list. Then make even more money when it has to be...

Awesome! Enjoy. They should play ok. My M715 has been very tolerant and cooperative with all of the other vehicles that came after it.

Darn, easy diagnosis is gone. How old is the fuel in the tank?

Pull the check valve in the return line on the top of the injection pump. Look inside and see if there are little black bits in there.

Here is a video with the same information Tow4 posted above: Tow4 is also a great source for alternator rebuild kits.

The die when you let off the throttle but start right back up again thing. I have experience with several trucks where the only cure was an injection pump rebuild. 100% success fixing the problem. I also have about 50% success with new fuel, filter and just run the truck on the road at least...

They are easy to test if you have a 12 volt or 24 volt power supply and a test light or volt meter. Here is a video showing how to test the flasher:
