    at a lost

    I found this. Maybe it will help. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/75505-cucv-wiring-diagram-color-except-m1010.html EDIT- I've searched because I would like to know too. The only thing I can think of is trace wires and see where they go which you may not be able to do because of the engine...

    New Starter for CUCV: Should this happen?

    The only other thing I would say is check your flexplate the next time you have to remove the starter. Mine had a bad spot and it was worth the time to replace. You can get good military battery connectors and custom cables fairly cheap. Just watch the size of the cable ends and measure the...

    New Starter for CUCV: Should this happen?

    The gear reduction starter uses a different brace or bracket than the original direct drive. Some don't catch this. I also found the battery cables have to be connected good and clean. One of my negative cables had rust under where I could not see until I changed the cable connector to the...

    hitch for m1008

    The spare tire part is what will be hard. You could move the spare tire holder back after installing the hitch. I just took mine off after half of it came loose going down the highway. Moving it back would have worked, I just decided not to do it. Make you one of the brackets and mount it...

    Every time I try to be nice I get stomped on so I'll just bow out of this instead of saying what I am thinking. :popcorn: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/60319-putting-tach-6-2-a.html

    Differential covers?

    OK, after reading and price checking looking for the best buy for the dollar I ordered the SOLID diff covers for front and rear. My next question is it was always my belief to use gaskets when I can and not sealer because they last longer. What do you recommend? ..and thanks for all the...

    Thanks-I like that Dana 60 cover and that is what I need right now.

    Weird occurence tonight

    That was my answer when that happened to me. Mainly the negative connector on the front battery and corroded cables was the culprit. I swapped mine with military connectors and special ordered 2 guage copper cables. It made a huge difference.

    Differential covers?

    From the Wiki I found 4 Wheel Customs has them too. Is this the right kind? There are different splines for the front. The search says yes, please confirm this for me as I am... :)

    Differential covers?

    My front differential cover leaks at the drain plug and my rear is just ugly. What kind should I buy? Dana 60 cover for the front and 14 bolt for the rear? I am looking for heavy duty more than shiny.

    CUCV Slave Receptacle?

    That's why this forum is great. I never thought of that. Thanks!

    CUCV Slave Receptacle?

    Nothing really. I was tracing cables under the hood trying to understand what everything does and thought maybe someone who converted to 12 volt could rig some jumper cables using the slave receptacle or maybe a winch or something. EDIT- The jumper cable idea is probably more work than needed...

    CUCV Slave Receptacle?

    The CUCV Slave Receptacle is 24 volt because the batteries are connected in series. If the batteries were connected parallel the slave receptacle would be 12 volt. Am I reasoning correct here?

    Engine discussion again

    Cool, thanks for the comments. I will be reading more about the 47RH trans. It still seems if I am never going to tow past 5 ton the 4bt is an easier swap, but I will keep learning. I was reading where one guy occasionally towed 13,000 with his 4bt. All I care about is up to 6,500 lbs...

    Engine discussion again

    :) LOL, agreed. Another reason the 4bt caught my interest. I still would like to know if you can swap a 6bt without electronics. I am in a learning process is why I ask.
