Not sure if you saw it, but I attached the page from the Chevy Service Manual. That states 5.2 pints or 2.6 qts. There are errors in the TM's.

Don't have a lot of time but let's get you started. And welcome to the site and the MV hobby. 1. Most alternators are grounded (run the negative side of the DC output) through the frame of the alternator directly into the engine block or chassis of the vehicle. 2. Since the CUCV is designed to...

If it's this then it is an important part of the alternator. It is a wirewound resistor. https://www.aspwholesale.com/resistor-dr-p2096.html

Rebuilt my first at 15. Was a TH350. Lost count after 20 ... All the best!

ATF is suitable for gear based transmissions and transfer cases Well, since you asked so nicely. Non-Newtonian fluids in a nutshell defy the expectations of the observer. How could a seemingly thin substance like ATF Hydraulic Fluid protect against shear loads you ask? Well, for simplicity...

Thanks, Do you know when they began to add these? Did they work?

Pretty much this is the correct answer: "In the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, ATF contained whale oil as a friction modifier. But since whale oil would break down at higher temperatures, cars produced in the 1970s and later would not be able to use whale oil because of the higher engine coolant...

Shear resistance of Newtonian vs Non-Newtonian fluids Well, I'm just going to go out on a really shaky limb here and say, if it was feasible then the answer would be yes. You pretty much answered your own question.:grin: It is commonly misunderstood that the shear strength of a fluid is...

ATF Thermal Analysis Some additional "light" reading on the thermal analysis of ATF's in actual use. In case anyone is bored and looking for something to do :razz: https://bobistheoilguy.com/automatic-transmissions-study/ As you can see, ATF's are pretty stout.

Hey folks, this is not intended to resurrect "the great debate" relative to people's opinions on what should be run in the NP205. Instead I provided the inquirer with a clear and irrefutable set of facts from the vehicle manufacturer and fleet owner on what they specified for use. It is true...

The -20P page 34-1 lists this as the part: 25053623 .PRINTED WIRING BOAR A quick search locates this part for sale in several places: http://www.classicindustries.com/product/25053623.html http://www.ecklerstrucks.com/chevy-truck-instrument-panel-printed-circuit-warning-lights-1983-1987.html

So, "since you asked" there is contradictory information on this topic. The -10 TM states "Keep it clean" and "engine must be cold" and then describes what to do when cleaning the engine compartment with water on page 2-6 The 1985 Chevy Trucks Owners Manual states that the engine should not be...

Yes, according to the -12 Lubricating Order Dexron II at 5.0 qt or 4.7 L. Also, in the 1986 Chevy Pickup Trucks Service Manual, Page 7D1-6 205 Transfer Case - Dexron II

Ha, you get more done in a day than most of the rest of us get done in a week or two! (Not speaking for everyone of course) I have trouble just keeping up with your posts.

May not have been you. Could have been that way all along or a previous technician may have twisted it. The main point is they can be fussy. But once you learn how to finesse them in you are golden from then on. Glad things are working out, now let's see that truck back on the road :driver:

100% agree with you Rick. The factory line routing is pretty exposed underneath the trucks. For anyone planning on running anywhere where the bottom could scrape I would take the time to reroute.

Not shock but lock. You can easily get liquid/water in a cylinder if you are not careful around the intake. One good sized drop is all it would take to bend a connecting rod or worse. Please search on the terms I provided: "Hydrolock (a shorthand notation for hydrostatic lock) is an abnormal...

Very good advice. There is another consideration as well. Absolutely no liquid can get into any cylinder. Look up "diesel engine hydraulic lock".

If you don't know how old the IP is, then suggest you get it rebuilt. There are a number of improvements that have been made in 32 +/- years and issues have been cleared up. I have used Badger diesel in WI with satisfactory results.

Best thing to do is to follow the directions in the -34 manual for installing the timing chain on page 3-68 and the IP on page 3-121.
