1999 CUCV-II, 1-1/4 ton, 4X4, Type B, Cargo Truck/Personnel Carrier with 6.5 turbo and only 16,000 miles.
My New Year Resolution: To start rebuilding the CUCV II that I bought back in Nov of 2008 from MacD*LL AFB in Tampa, Fl. I deployed to Ir*q for a year and now its time to
First off, I thought it may of been bad PMD or maybe a bad injector pump(by GL pictures) but after picking it up and looking it over I saw a lot more issues. Motor mounts were missing bolts, oil pan was loose and missing bolts, starter missing to name a few.
I worked on it all day today. I removed all the glow plugs to release any compression and tried to turn the engine over by hand. The crank would not turn at all. So if I wanted to pull the engine I would have to pull the transmission with it also. Well I looked at that and it was a lot of work. So I dropped the oil pan to see if I could fine something that would make the engine to be seized. Well it took some time to get the oil pan off and out of the way(almost thought about dropping the front axle). But I did find something, on the front part of the crank, the rod bearing took a sh*t. I had a hard time getting the caps off, but when I did I was able to turn the engine over and remove the flywheel bolts.
I'm almost ready to pull the engine, just have to disconnect the power steering lines and the oil cooler lines.
Here are some pictures, more to follow.....

Here is the the New, GEP 6.5 engine that will be going into the truck. I bought a new HO water pump and new Injectors for a total of just over $6,000 shipped. I have new glow plugs. Looking for a new or rebuilt injector pump with PMD.
...see pictures. Not sure what broke the rod.
