Hi, I just copied this off Smokstak forum. A safety tip that was meant to be shared. I knew the stuff stank, but did not know it could be this dangerous.

Only 6.2 CUCV crank failure I have seen in person was in a 1008 I sold to a fellow member. He did drive it at highway speeds once in a while, and his harmonic balancer was in bad shape at the time. He is a good mechanic and suspects the balancer was a major factor.
He said his truck also...
Well, they told you wrong, the 701a is a 016b with a ASK(acoustic suppression kit), and has a 1 cylinder diesel motor that runs at 3600 RPM.
There is the 016a that runs off a loud and thirsty gasoline motor that can be converted to propane.
The links on above post seem dead.
Hope these help. As far as I know the actual military TMs have not been cleared for public distribution so are not allowed to be downloaded on this site. If they are cleared, some of us have them and would be happy download them here.
Some file photos of soundeadening from some of the many older threads on the subject:
I take the seat out, wash the crud off the floor & fix any rust and treat with rust inhibitor,
Next I put down Rammat, like Dynamat, then paint with Lizard skin & paint with CARC substiute.
Finish off with...
As mentioned before, it could be air leak or bad lift pump. Testing the lift pump is easy. There is usually a hose coming off the top (passenger) side of the filter base. If not, add a hose to that nipple, put the hose in a clear container, open the black plastic valve, crank the motor, the...
I have the same problem. The leak is so slow, it was only evident when there was ice on the slab that kept the fuel from being absorbed by concrete. Post below mentions the fix I have to do at some point...
Sorry if a little of subject but I saw this and reminded me of something. What happens if the regular green type is mixed with the red diesel type?.
What happens and how quickly?
The reason I ask is I had to add some antifreeze to my wife's car due to leak, and all I had was the red HD...
This is an interesting thread & nice work. Is the ceramic bead sound deadener like 'lizzard skin'? I have some 'raymatt' & lizzard skin left over from quieting some CUCVs, it never occurred to me to put on my 802.
I was running it yesterday in prep for today's blizzard, and noticed a lot of...
Well I guess I was told wrong. I had a 153 Chev 4 in a '69 Kaiser postal jeep that I ended up putting a governor on and putting in a chipper. When I had it a machine shop, the owner and some other guys were oogeling it, and called it that, wanted to buy it for some kind of track car. It is...
If it is a 4 cyl Chevy, as mentioned above, (the 'Iron Duke'), all the torque specs are the same a s Chevy 196, 230, 250 & 292 L6 family. The valves have the same hydraulic lifters as the other motors in this group and same adjustment procedure. Generally they do not need to be adjusted unless...
My CUCVs are comfortable and trustworthy, and they don't have puddles of fluids under them either. Some folks might want to keep their trucks up better. You have a new modern truck with the nice cupholders, have seen it in a previous post.
You know a lot about CUCVs, answer a lot of the...
