It might break it loose but then you would have a rusted ring hitting a rusted spot in the cylinder wall...

I'd be worried about the rings rusting to the cylinder wall over 8 years....

Mine is not broken and is already 12v, manual plugs and starts and runs fine. If the controller is like the one in my van then it doesn't do a full cycle on every turn of the key... it only turns on when the plugs cool off and then only on enough to bring it up to temp... I was just asking....

Can you run both the controller card and a manual switch? In case it is uber cold and you want a bit longer of a glow?

I will be parting out my 87 Chevy diesel van and it has a th700 tranny. Is it possible, and if so how hard, to put that in my M1009 to get the overdrive? Is it a good idea? bad idea? why? Has anyone put together a howto on this conversion? Thanks

I live in Mid-town (westport area) I have had my M1009 for about a year and love it. I briefly drove them in the army but mainly the hmmwv. I have not seen any other CUCVs in KC since I got mine. I looked at those in Jeff City... was tempted. Good to have more in the area. Jason

To anyone the responded to my turbo call... My guy had the turbo in the back of his truck ready to bing it to me and someone stole it. I hate thieves! Thanks for all the interest ....

At this point, had I know what was going to happen, I would have gotten some really good penetrating oil and did a cycle of penetrating oil heat penetrating oil heat penetrating oil heat repeat many many times then slowly back out the bolt then penetrating oil heat then back in with the...

Well, I ended up having to drill thru the old bolts and and putting a nut and bolt on it to hold the housing in place until the earth thaws... I spent 5 hours outside in 7 degree weather working on this... it is my daily and my the cold killed my wife's van so I had to complete it. Anyone have...

ok... once I get it all back together does the black puck side of the thermostat go in the engine side of the housing or the radiator side?

my thermostat was stuck open thus I could not get above 150 degrees today.. So I am changing it out and the bolts broke off. I have about 1/2 inch sticking out... my question is... how do I go about getting the rest of the bolt out? I tried heat/wd-40 and vise-grips.... no good Thanks

How much of a PITA was it putting in that block heater? Which side did you put it on and which freeze lug hole did you use? Did you have to remove anything to do the work?

It was 2 below and it almost started... had to charge the batteries for about an hour... then it fired right up. No block heater.

So will a 3 bolt 30 spline torque converter work? Will it line up with 3 of the bolts? Or is it a MUST that I have a 6 bolt converter? (after market)

After a few searches I have concluded that the torque converter and flex plate for a GM 6.2 diesel and a th400 has SIX bolts. Is that correct?

Where is that resistor cause my after market one is working and I didn't remove anything.

Well then I guess I don't get it. Isn't is a 24v meter? Anyway that was a complete waste of time. I did the resistor thing jumped from pos to neg and tried it in-line.... When it was in-line I tapped on the side of the meter (gently)... maybe to free it from sitting in one position for a...

Ok, I am going to try the resistor thing and like kentuckycucv I could only get 150 ohm resistors. So, what is the point of connecting the resistor from the pos to the neg on the volt meter rather than in line on the pos side?
