Have you checked the starter engagement? If the gear gets into the ring gear too hard it could get stuck out there. If it can't retract it can't disengage. It could require a shim. Is the rear support bracket in place? This is hard to diagnose from afar. I never did any relay replacements or cut...

Yes that is what I meant by lifting. But after In thought about it I would say NO. Lifting it would have caused the tail shaft to be broken. The Bell is stronger than that. I would say impact or loose bell bolts. Also running with a dented unbalanced driveline. I guess it don't really matter how...

Cracked bell housing come from loose bell housing bolts and being lifted or high centered on the rear tail of transfer case. Vibrations case cracks and loose bell bolts are the most common issue. I have fixed a few and seen it when the front drive shaft fails at the CV joint. Wrecked trucks have...

I cannot lie. I called in an Amish roofer and had him do the flashing. I looked at it on YouTube and figured I am not a roofer and I already have damage from water leaking. I will fix the damage and pay a roofer to do the flashing. It all works out that way for me. I know it would not have...

Here we are 2 weeks out and I still have no replacement injection pump. No biggy. The COVID-19 has everything a mess at this point. The car dealership is closed to normal walk in business. I am happy doing other projects around the property and on other vehicles. I still have an E brake cable to...

Idle Hands are the Devil's Workshop. I bought a car locally it was a good deal. It needs an engine replacement because it was run out of oil. I hate when that happens. I looked the car over it was clean and loaded with options. I went about acquiring a replacement engine and I was surprised. I...

You don't need the bottom loose to pull or install the inner cable. I done it many times. It can be a little tricky but nothing a few twists and turns won't quickly resolve. And when I said lube it silly I meant just that. Push it in and out a few times to get the lube thru and thru. Good Luck.

If the glow plug is wet it is NOT heating up. Replace the one glow plug. I replace singular or multiple glow plugs as soon as they go bad and it becomes hard starting. I can tell from day to day if the engine starts differently. I never had cascading glow plug failure. I fixed it long before...

Yes it can be done. I would not tell you to do it if it can't be done. They make speedometer cable lube. I also use cable lube and light grease. But speedometer cable lube worked best. Good Luck. Report back. Be Safe.

Pull the cable out thru the top behind the speedometer head and get some speedometer cable lube and grease that thing silly. But yes replace the gear. If you have issues I probably have a few around here. Enjoy the weekend. Be Safe and Take Care.

The C Clamp makes child's play out of the entire ball joint and U joint job. No beating with Hammers going on here. Both axle U joints are wasted.The right side was obvious. The left side would have past the blind taste test. But I always replace in pairs. No point in tearing down this far and...

I only ever seen 2 CUCV TH400 bellhousing broken. Both had massive damage from being in a accident. Most times the rear flange and area around the governor plate are cracked and that comes from lifting. I am just saying you don't need to empty the bank account to make a tough reliable CUCV for...

WOW. Look out I am about to apply all 140 horse power of my healthy 1984 6.2 CUCV diesel to the rear wheels. I need the blow proof bell housing, Bell housing tunnel blanket in Kevlar and a drive shaft drop loop. Stand back Women, children, and driveline let me pop this machine in gear. Spinning...

A few issues cause transmission/transfer case tail shaft breaking. The first and this should never happen is picking up the truck from the side with a loader.

All 4 ball joints removed and now onto getting a complete parts list together. I used a C clamp ball joint press, a vise, and a Milwaukee cordless impact to remove the ball joints. No insane beating with a hammer. About 15 minutes and both knuckles were stripped. Camera didn't take pictures...

So I understand. The plastic gear is stripped in the square hole? Have you checked the tail shaft on the transfer case? It has a gear on it also. Check back.

A few issues cause transmission/transfer case tail shaft breaking. The first and this should never happen is picking up the truck from the side with a loader. The driveshaft is pushed upward dented and stress is put on the tail housing by the leverage of the transfer case being mounted on the...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/terminus-m1009.144523/page-17#lg=post-2030063&slide=7 Hey check out this thread. I installed a few of the engine to transmission braces on OFF ROAD use CUCV's. My most used and abused was Terminus M1009. It was a very popular thread a few years back. I built...

And the beating with the sledge hammer continues. Everything is apart. Now I will get a parts list together. They either buy the parts and I do the labor or into the shredder with the whole vehicle. I am a good guy to get it back together even with expired certification. Nothing was broken...

Like a broken 8 track I always play the same track. The 13G A C Delco glow plugs have always served me well over 25 years of private ownership of my CUCV's. The stock glow plug system is NOT infallible. But if maintained and repaired as needed it seems to last indefinitely. Just repair it as...
