Does anyone have experience with adding a high volume/pressure oil pump to the 6.2?

Anybody know the correct depth I'm supposed to install a new harmonic balancer. Is it OK to get it real close to the proper point and then use the bolt to find the correct depth?

I've noticed that for the past few weeks my '85 m1008's engine taps until it warms up. It seems to coming from the left (driver's) side. The truck has 94,000 miles. Any thoughts?

Is the lens of the CUCV blackout light plastic or glass, and what's the best way to remove paint from the lenses? Thanks.

The vent window glass in my m1008 has come loose from its frame. What is the best way to re-attach it? I'm thinking that some type of glue would be fine, but there seems to be a gasket in the frame. Thanks.

Does any one have the bracket and wing nut assembly that secures the jack handle behind the seat? If not, how about a picture or part/stock number? Thanks.

Can someone point me to the proper TM for removing the coolant crossover pipe? I can't seem to locate it. Thanks.

OK, so my axle hub is slightly leaking after I got the truck from the brake shop. In the past, I have used RTV, but this time I'd like to use a gasket because it seems to be faster to install. My question is: the gasket is metal, so do I just slap that puppy on the axle/hub like that, or do I...

Does anyone know where I can get the correct diameter pulley for my m1008's alternator? I have an extra alternator, but with a smaller diameter pulley than my ohter alts. I've searched the net fruitlessly. Does diameter of pulley matter? Thanks.

I have just put a second passenger side alternator on my M1008. Even though the starter was not the initial problem, it is now. The GEN 2 light was on when I turned the key, but now it's out, and the starter won't turn. Also getting sparks and smoke from back battery's negative post. Any...

Can someone explain this concept to me and why the passenger side is the isolated ground?

OK, so alternator # 2 seizes on the way home. I get it rebuilt. I hook it back up. BACKWARDS! When I hooked the batterys back up, a loud pop and a puff of smoke come out of the alternator. Question: Even though I fried the alternator, shouldn't the GEN 2 idiot light still shine before I...

Does anyone know where I can get the proper jack handle and the wing nuts that hold down all of tire changing gear for an m1008? I looked every where but can't seem to locate it, ans I want it back like it came from the factory. Thanks.

I just installed a mechanical temperature gauge--boy was that fun.:roll: Anyhow, it's showing a temperature of approximately 160 degrees. I know from reading the forum that the optimal temperature is between 190 and 200 degrees. So, why is mine reading so low? I know the engine has a...

I think my m1008's left rear axle seal is leaking--there is oil coming from the drum. I guess that means I'll be explaining to the wife why I'm spending even more money on my "hobby". So, does anyone have any advice, short cuts, favorite cuss words, etc. for removing the axle and replacing...

I have an '85 m1008, and its oil pressure light appears to have quit working. It's supposed to light when the engine is not running and the ignition is switched on--but nothing. I've checked the fuses, replaced the light bulb and holder, and bought a new oil pressure switch--but nothing...

Can an m1008 be expected to repeatedly and reliably tow trailers that are close to its maximum tow load? Is the 6.2 strong enough to tow those loads at a minimum of 55 mph, (yes, I know that's pretty much the max speed anyhow)? Is the true strength of these vehicles in the rear end?

I didn't find anything in the CUCV forum relating to this. My speedometer needle bounces, (worse during hot weather). Is there any fix short of ordering a new speedometer? I've already installed a new cable. Thanks.

Were the interiors of the CUCV's CARCed? Were the CUCV's CARCed at the factory? Thanks.
