    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Replaced both of the engine mounts today. Guess that seals the deal on the flexplate being the source of that clacking noise near the bellhousing! ...

    How to know if my 6.2l is running as it should

    Trust me when I say that you're not alone in this... Not by a long shot! All I got accomplished this weekend was changing the oil, so don't feel too bad. ;)

    Looks great! What brand paint did you go with, and how did you spray it?

    Strange M101A2 WTF anybody got a clue?

    My M1008 has a faint outline of 8" x 8" squares of barricade striping on the upper tailgate corners. The truck was once assigned to the 93rd Signal Brigade's headquarters in Stuttgart back before the wall came down. PM en route.

    Need Help Quick! M1008 Hard and delayed Shifting

    If the truck has stock tires (235/85R16) and stock rear axle gear ratio (4.56:1), then you will only be turning ~2800RPM in third gear at 55MPH. Gear Ratio Calculator ... IMO, I think you're fine.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    My truck has a similar noise once it warms up, maybe just not quite as loud... Still trying to narrow down what it is. :(

    Wiring, need a little help

    Agreed with mistaken1... Alex, do we know what voltage your current starter takes? I'd hate to see you pour your effort into returning the truck to 24v if it's already converted to 12v.

    Wiring, need a little help

    This connection (blue 12-gauge fusible link to a red 8-gauge wire) originally went to the positive lug of GEN2. Your photo looks like the mystery ground is a braided strap. The ground strap should connect the engine block (intake manifold stud) to the firewall. Disregard this suppressor...

    return lines

    Agreed, mine lasted less than three months before they dry-rotted. Terrible waste of $20...

    Wiring, need a little help

    The cable running to the starter *should* be coming from the positive 24v bus bar on the the firewall. .

    Weird battery issue

    idM1028 is referring to "afterglow", when the glow plugs cycle after the engine starts. Afterglow is normal, but will vary in length/cycles based on how warm the engine is.

    Electrical problem with m1009 Please help!

    You don't have to remove the glow plugs to test them, but you can if you'd prefer. This post has a good description on how test them in place.

    Todays ****....LOL...it's never easy....:)

    I like to use the 3M bristle discs that fit in the Roloc-style pads for die grinders. They're awesome for removing stubborn gasket material from differentials, cylinder heads, you name it. .

    Transmission Shifting Test Ques??

    Correct. The hose connector on my M1008 was also damaged, I removed it and connected directly to the valve.

    M1009 Drivers side alternator

    Stock CUCV alternators (27SI) actually have five connections, including the isolated ground stud. However, as you know, the driver's side alternator (GEN1) does not need an isolated ground, so you can use the DL7157 with no problems on that side. When looking at the rear side of the DL7157...
