    Manual Locking Hub - Something went wrong ...

    It can be done easily if I had it in hand. Simply said the entire engage and disengage must take place with the 3/4 cycle of the handle. So with the inner hub ring out put the handle in lock and apply slight pressure so the screwing action begins immediately as you turn the hub handle to free...

    However you do share the same address. Funny how that works. The gig is up.

    Tranny, starter, or something else?

    Basically the same but all thread would make a lot of friction to slide that assembly back. I use 4" grade 8 4" x 16 tpi and slide it back. It's very easy and requires no helper. The plywood lets the floor jack travel back and forth. Do remove the starter and heat shield. Also the dipstick tube...

    Coolant in oil help plz

    That's another great thing about Felpro torque to yield bolts. They have the sealer built right in at the under flange hex head and on the threads. Takes the guess work out of how much or how little do I need to use. The 1/4 turn after torqued has always been my puzzling point. I guess that is...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    On a frame and axle I tend to lay heavy paint on. It can sag a bit and still look great. That was not put on heavy enough and could have been cold when the paint was applied from the sags on the crossmember. Good Luck. Scuff and sand yourself. Paint it with a self etching primer with a good...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    From looking at the pictures you have used an aerosol spray can to apply the primer. You do not have enough mil's https://nitcnrcsbase-www.nrcs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/nrcs142p2_040198.pdf Aerosol cans are not the correct way to apply a epoxy primer on a bare metal frame. Unless you...

    Fuel issue??

    Effected by heat. I would say injection pump. What else is there? Can you open the nozzle nuts on the drivers side and confirm it is getting fuel? Only 2 nuts on the delivery nozzles will tell you that. Good Luck. Did you buy the NEW injection pump? Are you 100% sure it is a fresh rebuild? Not a...

    starter bracket removal

    This is the correct answer. I have seen the horrors of unskilled labor on many items. Can you get a picture of the bolt? Will heat help? Lost here and want to assist. Take Care. Good Luck.

    Tranny, starter, or something else?

    Just get yourself a flywheel tool. Saves removal of glow plugs and makes turning and inspecting the ring gear and flywheel as easy as pulling the handle. From the looks of the teeth on the ring gear I would say the mesh was not even and maybe tight. You can change the flex-plate/flywheel without...

    Tranny, starter, or something else?

    And may I recommend the flanged starter bolts. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ado-11610633?seid=srese1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsPbB1b6n6gIVHP_jBx3HOwa-EAQYASABEgJFBfD_BwE That was easy. Take Care and Be Safe.

    Tranny, starter, or something else?

    Fill it thru the dipstick tube. Put 6 QTS in and check it. Top it off from there. 6 to 10 QTS is average. Your engine may not turn over because the starter has eaten a hole on the flex plate or the gears are too far apart to engage. I would not attempt to engage until you get the broken bolt...

    Tranny, starter, or something else?

    The starter bolt and the whine are not directly related. The starter bolt should be replaced ASAP. And use new bolts if you are not sure of the age and stress that has been applied to the starter bolts. Torque the starter bolts or just make sure they are tight. Not gorilla tight. A shorter 3/8"...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Been so many I lost track. I started redoing CUCV's back in 1995 and have been doing it ever since. I also built a members M1009 SSDV I believe is his user name. Thank you for the support. I have 2 more to go. I am still pondering NOT to make the convertible. It would be like hacking up a 1969...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    OK it took me the entire day to get it done but I was able to make a safe haven for my M1009 build. Still Beware. Lost for Words and First in Line are creeping on us all. I seen he had activity yesterday. I am no CSI technician as far as computers but I can see when he is on line. When I went...

    Glow Plug Container Slide

    I did see entire stock cards in new boxes for sale. And I may have one of them used that has that slide pin on it. I see them up under the dash from time to time. Do you want one? I can look at my scrappers I have here. Let me know.

    Coolant in oil help plz

    I removed 2 sets of them studs from Ford diesels 1 from a 7.3 and the other from a 6.9. Both were leaking the same way. Both guys said they followed the instructions to the T. I replaced the studs with good old Fel Pro bolts. They never failed me yet. Sometimes I sit back and think how much...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    I am going out to make a safe dry home in the barn for my M1009. Until I figure out my next move. It is still going on the market and I will be advertising it. Everyone here knows the history and the details. Thank you for your support. I will move on and all is well. I did learn a few things...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    OK. After I done extensive research and reviewed every text message I am ready to tell the world that I figured out that "Lost for Words" and "First in Line" are the same person. Not sure what joy a person gets from running a scam such as this. This guy was specific right down to what color he...

    What does the Gen 2 relay do?

    The 2 pin plug on the alternator is the voltage regulator plug. That is part I do know. Just wanted to answer for you.
