Rick - Are you saying my P400 could work in the space shuttle? Dayum, I better put in a bigger transmission.

Rick you are probably right. The transmission-to-block bolts on my fancy new P400 engine are indeed M10-1.5. Maybe the older 6.2's were 3/8-16. Were the earlier 6.2 engines metric or SAE?

Rick - How much for the Hawaiian Girl?

Hey Rick - The bolts that attach the transmission to the engine are M10-1.5, not 3/8". A 3/8 bolt will thread into the hole approximately 1/4" before it becomes thread-bound. In my opinion a 1/4" of thread is dangerously close to being too short to support the weight of the transmission when...

I think it is time to close this thread. Knives are starting to come out.

Ditto what Doug said. If your harmonic damper is the original part, hail it's over 35 years old! Replace it.

Rick I hope you get better.

If I'm not mistaken that is a later model NP241. The 241 came into use in 1988 and was used in Chevy and Dodge up until the early 2000's. The model years 1988 through 1992 had mechanical speedometer outputs, afterwards the output was electronic. So it appears you have a post-1992 unit. One...

It is bad manners to hijack one's thread. If you would search this forum you would learn exactly where to obtain a replacement alternator. Just saying.....

Hillbilly Wizard is your best bet if you are looking for a used original CUCV starter. If you go this route I recommend a complete rebuild prior to installation. Otherwise there are always plenty of brand new ones on Ebay. Many Ebay vendors will ship overseas. All it takes is money. Hope...

Hello again David. I am still interested in having one of your M1009 restorations. My M1028 rebuild is taking all my spare time and effort, and my health issues will prevent me from tackling another project. You should still have my contact information. Let me know what you have coming out...

Jake - I believe if your timing chain was stretched so much that it affected the timing position of the pump, your engine would probably not run at all. Not to mention that the chain would hardly stay on the gears. If your chain is wore out, probably your whole engine is too. In all my years...

Here's a photo of the star on the door.

And just to add, in order for the beads to work properly, the inside of the tire (or tube) must be clean and dry. No grease or wetness whatsoever. The beads must be able to spin freely around the inner circumference of the tire in order to find the position of least resistance. If a HMMWV...

Ditto what Barrman said. I’ve been trying to develop a good way to time the 6.2 for over 35 years and can now say there is no good way. Nothing beats a process of trial and error, that is to say, setting the mark on the pump slightly ahead of the mark on the engine. Then running it to see how it...

In my opinion, the balancing beads are the only way to go to balance heavy tire/wheel assemblies. No they are not cheap, but neither is anything else you are doing to your rig. They great advantage of the DynaBeads is, they will adjust to changing requirements. For instance, if you hit a...

Yeah I've had experience which I will share. I mounted brand new 11.00-20 NDT tires onto my custom 20" Firestone wheels. The combined weight of the tire and wheel assembly including tubes and flaps exceeds 150 pounds each. I then purchased a set of Centramatic dynamic balancers which mount...

Send it down here when you get it finished. I'll buy it from 'ya.

First of all, Nostalgic purchases the brackets for the A/C compressor from a small mom & pop machine shop in Ft. Worth Texas. I explained all this in post #301 in my rebuild thread https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/kinda-got-carried-away-m1028-rebuild.54469/post-2224882 . The other...

You will be happy with the 700R4. Make sure you have the TV cable adjusted correctly. And make sure when you press the accelerator pedal to the floor, the IP throttle is actually all the way open. This is important in order for the 700R4 to downshift properly. Just because the pedal is...
