The panels are a different, but if you have the know how to swap the engines, no doubt you will be able to figure how to swap over the other parts as well. Probably have to do a little fabrication. Going with the Dodge gauges for the Cummins makes sense to me. Even if you have to fit them in...

It is possible to ruin an otherwise OK 6.2 by doing a botched starter bolt thread repair. At some point, even if it can be repaired, most can not afford to if they do not have advanced skills. The rigged bracket does not sound that promising. If you want to try to fix engine, don't use it...

Am not an electrical expert like some others here. My first MEP-002 had a stuck reconnection switch which turned out to be a good thing. In the process of fixing that I found that one of the main T leads had rattled off switch and a few other screws were loose. Something like that has...

They did not put in the vent system without reason. Mess with it enough and you will get 3 more miles a gallon. Just kidding, you could actually build up pressure and cause oil leaks out the seals.

Those civy controllers fail a lot. They were designed for 6V 'fast glow' (fast blow) system. If you are getting 12v from controller it is probably bad. If you ground to terminal with light blue wire on glow plug relay (solenoid), with ignition on, it should active relay. If you add...

Post some pictures, that will help.

More CUCV dump pictures, not sure to what other thread you refer. First 2 are of a M1010 that was converted to duel wheels by a state forestry dept, I bought from GSA as cab & chassis and added dump. Will be put to work after wiring sorted out and paint. Second 2 are of one with rusted...

Fair enough, but that truck still has charged batteries and starts with turn of the key. Cab is way gone with rust, up into the door pillars. But I painted frame when I put on duel wheels and dump, and front clip was replaced when I got hit by a taxi running a stop sign, so the truck may live...

Here's one; me & my cucvs definition of a good time is sitting around, here are 3 of the more lazy ones. 1028 sitting in shop, thinks it will get to be worth more if it sits long enough. 1008 ready reserve for work fleet, although one of my kids is eying it. 1008 dump, retired or waiting for...

Here is a M1009 directly from GL I had a couple years ago.

It will be an issue when you try to weld off it.

Using a reverse(left hand) drill first often works and saves a lot of grief. Remember to tape up front u joint caps and tie the shaft out of the way, hate it when it comes down and hits on the head.

When you order the pump, buy one listed with reservoir. It is a pain and cost inefficient to try to save a few bucks and buy the pump only. (without the place to put the fluid). I know from experience.

These trucks can be great local work trucks. But if you are used to ABS and want to drive over 60 MPH, this might not be the truck for you. They are primitive by today's standards.

It could be the solenoid. On Delco starters the solenoid has a run out function. That is what the magnetic plunger hinged to the starter drive is for. Also check that starter drive is clean and lubed.

You should know enough about your truck to order your own parts. Any other way and you will end up with the wrong parts. The only folks who are going to look them up for you are those who are selling them. And the sites with the best prices won't even do that.

A truck I am fixing (M1010 with 1008 wire harness both cab and engine) has wiper problems. Looked at TMs, used search and have been under the hood a couple hours. Blows fuses when wiper on low, works on high. Washer does not try to engage. Have tried a couple different wiper motors. Noise...

Just checked rock auto's site. There are about 6 choices for a rebuilt w-200 pump from $35-$65. About 6 choices for steering gear $110-$200. That includes core, as I doubt it would be worth it to ship back. Assuming yours is a w-200, about the same for w-300.

Reverse drill bits are a wonderful thing. Have a nice set of Hansons with an extractor kit, one of the best tool purchases I ever made.

I read that the difficulty in cranking is one reason most of these units have low hours.
