Those with radios had the grill assys.

I think I'll go ahead and swap out that starter. Use the existing one as a core.

Thanks gents. I have a depot reman starter and new bolts on hand. Once it is installed I'll spring for a gear reduction starter. They seem cheap enought, just have to scare up a new front bracket. Now that I have the extra starter, I think I will groundhop my canned 6.2 that I got for minimum...

Victory of sorts today. I installed the relay last week without issue. I also added a well hidden switch interrupting the 12 volt side as a quasi security issue. Today I tackled the issues of fusible links. I found 3 that were bad, all 3 were at the 12V block near the glow plug relay. Cut out...

Some numbers for folks to digest. I've been learning a little more about fusible link wire. I learned that it is supposed to be 4GA smaller than the load wire. So I ordered some 12GA fusible link wire on line for the 8GA wire along the firewall. My ventures took me to NAPA today to shop for...

Phase 1 repairs complete. Yesterday I was able to pull the faulty relay and install the upgraded relay. While in there I interrupted the purple /white tracer wire and ran it through a well hidden switch to deter folks with CUCV keys from taking a cruise. I would rather do this than go to a non...

Amen to that jj. I had to replace one on a 6.5 and it was painful.

Sneakin up on it. Met with Stonepicker1 today and got a reman starter, new starter bolts, main battery cable and a paper -20. I took some of the schematics and had them blown up and laminated http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/70377-wiring-schematics.html#post857610 Also ordered fusible link...

Thanks Phil, probably be around lunch time.

I will try to check that cable tonight. I know that stuff around the starter got hot and I want to check all of those wires. I moved it and did a prelim check and the only real melted wire was the fusible link on the firewall at the 12V terminal block near the GP relay.

Can I borrow both Phil? I'll return them ASAP. If you are going to be over on Gun Club I might could swing by. Kids have Karate from 1630-1930.

Story of my life Eric. Hopefully I will learn from this and buy 2 new harmonic balancers, one for the Oh-8 and one for the burb. We all know what bad balancers do to 6.2 cranks.

Well, it was bound to happen. For the last year or better I have had the updated relay and all the parts to install it in the glove compartment of the truck and failed to install it. Monday I jumped into the truck to go get some pies and it happened, the relay stuck. Knowing exactly what was...
