I love ridding in a Duece at 50...the perfect speed....

That is soooo true :grd: Yea....I always hated that, especially then you got a Battalion Commander around with all the underlings, one of the underlings is wanting his truck running pronto and all he's giving you is lip. Believe it, theres a few M1008's running around Iraq right now. These...

Your truck can use a civy harness back there.....go to LMC.com, OR, Classic Chevy Parts..... The only thing military about these trucks is the green paint, a 24 volt sustem and blackout lights, and a few bells and whistles the military deems critiical. The rest is stock chevy truck.

Either someone has been messin' with the harness.....PROBABLY....a 24v. fusible link has melted and gotten up close and personal with a 12 v. one. OR, someone could've hooked something up wrong, Look at your wiring schmatic and and trace down your 24 v. connections....make sure they're as...

It might not be a bad pulley, it might be the belt is too narrow for the pulley, If you put a normal belt on a WWII jeep, its rides on the bottom of the belt, not the sides as the pulley and belt was designed. Just to check, if you get a belt tight. and you can turn your alternator pulley, your...

Well, in my 2 pieces of copper, get a plug nut, change out your filter, while the pans off, drill your hole and braze yournut to to to the bottom of the pan. Your done. Put your plug and stuff in it and re-install everything. Also, Add yourself a remote spinon filter....and be done....your...

I'm with ODDave, just open up thediff.s and new ring and pinion. Just be sure you got the right sets, and keep your assembly area clean. This way, you can INSPECT your bearings and seals and freshen them up. After 20+ years in service....they'll need them....

Also, some times on the old winches, since they're where they can get rained on quite a bit,on the engagement sprag on the side of the drum, put a good coating of grease on there, yes, I know that it'll attact dust and dirt, but everytime you go to PM the vehicle, just wipe that off and slap...

Yup, the best thing if your gonna build on is buy a old rusted out hulk thats just barely driveable but still runs, you can pick one of these old 'farmers' for about 1500, yank it all down, rebuild the driveline then slap a new body on the ole soldier, with the old # tags and just get re...

No....14 PSI won't be too much.....but I wouldn't go much higher without regulation.....

Well, you can go to Diamond gears and get ring and pinions for front and rear.....will cost you about $280 per set......or do what I do, put a gear vender on it......

Call your local parts house and tell them you want the AutoMeter diesel tach.....and if they're really dumb.....just go directly to the AutoMeter site........I'll go out to the shop tomorrow and get a part #, but they should be able to look it up in the book.........

OR.....just do the 24 v inverter......and wire it into you buss bars.......but they do suck down some power if your putting a load on them and they do put out alot of heat. Mine has 6 fans on it and gets plenty warm.....but I wouldn't go without one...... You can even get them in the 240v...

Heres what I did, mounted my 3500 watt inverter to the rear bulkhead of the cab on a fiberglass panel, attached it to a big 12 v. battery in a pastic battery case, that being in turn wired into the 12v.tap on the firewall by the brake booster. In that line I also put a battery isolator, so, if...

One thing nice about these trucks is that if every week you do something small to it....you'll have the ole gal in top shape in a years time, and it'll be under 3000 bucks. Try that with a 95 an up truck, specially a diesel......2cents

The electric fans are nice....just gotta install them correctly. Now on that pump.....you gotta outrun the IP with some pressure. Aeromotive have a nice little rotary vane pump, its a Carter...and its rated @ about 12 PSI.....whick will make a ass outta the stock pump. You have to be careful...

Here's the info on the box you want.... Fasternal Blue Book vol. 9, fleet and auto electrical, page 4-40, Philips clear-vu junction box, part # 0715405..... hope this helps.........

The starters on these vehicles are the only true 24 volt item.......and yes....theres a couple of relays that do thisnthat....but for starters.....I usuallu take mine to a Starter/alternator/generator place. Once you've had yours done....they'll prety much take care of ya, even with the Isolated...
