I am catching the tail end of this debate. But yes I am a firm believer in good crimped/soldered cable ends, good high amperage batteries and thoroughly load tested batteries. Not a bad idea to be sure the starter is healthy also. But the bolt on lead cable ends are NOT the hot set up. I toss...

I will be fishing at Conowingo Maryland on Friday May 24th if that is near you. I can bring a pressure tester and have a look. But yes head gaskets and cracks can leak externally . ( of course) Does the leak go away with a warm engine? Just putting the information out there if I can be of any...

I just seen Terminus M1009 in a field pulling an trailer. If it wasn't Terminus it was a twin and in the same 10 mile radius of the guy I sold it to. This is what came to mind when I seen it. 2 side by sides were in the field with it. They were running flat out. I had the high ground from I 78...

TedO any time I can help fix/resolve a problem I am happy to do so. I should look closer at things so I can advise more accurately. When I do have to remove a leaking transmission or transfer case I just send it to the shop for overhaul or reseal. I don't like, have the know how or have the...

Guess who just got back today. That Rusty truck that had been away. Hadn't changed that much. But I still think that chassis is Rusty. Owners was asking if I was available for work What I thought and if any leaks could be found. I told him I up for the challenge and driving this old man crazy...

After over 20 years of CUCV ownership I liked the easy route. 1 key for the many I deal with and work on. I feel comfortable and secure in my world. Everyone is NOT even giving the CUCV a second look. It may look cool but most people I know and deal with don't want one or would ever think about...

A Great CUCV snow warrior has been laid to rest. After 17 years of foul weather use and heavy duty yard work it has entered into the scrap steel reclamation/recycling era. All good things must come to an end. I was not allowed to do anything with it and had to scrap it as is.

I went and looked at a few scrap 6.2 engines I have stored. 3 freeze plugs on each side of the block. No plugs behind the bell housing. There are some small ones in the heads that can leak. Report back once you make the discovery of what is leaking. Fluid can be deceiving. It can travel and drip...

As promised I took a few pictures of the grease gun adapter and the fitting in the CV joint that the adapter pumps the grease into the front drive shaft CV joint. This is the end that just snaps onto the grease gun. This is why I spend the time to remove the front drive shaft. The fitting is...

I will sell you a good running long block 6.2 that came out of a HMMWV for less than rebuilding a 350 from start to finish. 8 hours east and 8 hours west. You could have it in a running in 2 weeks or less if you were energetic enough. I understand.

Oh it is in there. You need a special needle type tapered adapter. I will get some pictures for you. When I get home. And the transmission is leaking into the transfer case. I don't know exactly how to fix it but it has a seal between the 2. I removed the transmission and transfer case on a few...

Cutting out my row 4 bolt was not an option on mine. I have my entire interior sprayed in Line X. I could imagine the rust and grinding particles sticking in the Line X forever. I did remove the Row 5 rear bolts as they are not welded in place. Painted black they look fine and the interior...

They are interchangeable yes. It will require a differnt starter support bracket or cutting and drilling the direct drive bracket. But it is easy to do or buy a new gear reduction bracket. GM part 23502557. I hope that helps. Make sure that bracket is in place and may as well put new starter...

First place i would look is the coolant crosover manifold port gaskets. It has 2 up front on the coolant manifold and 2 in the rear. Left side has a coolant temperature sensor and the right side has a cover plate. They are notorious for leaking. Next would be the freeze out/expansion plugs. They...

This is a 28 MT installed. See the exterior thru bolts?

Similar to this. The thru bolts are not visible on the exterior body of the starter. This is not an exact picture of a CUCV direct drive but similar.

And as far as how much it cost to rebuild. I just drop it off and pay the bill when I pick it up. I never bothered buying any starters or alternators off line. If I have issues I like to deal with the guy face to face. But $100. starter sounds inexpensive enough. I wouldn't sell any of my...

How about a picture?

Are you sure?

Look at the starter does it look like an ordinary GM starter or does it appear different. This is a 28 MT gear reduction starter. This is a direct drive starter. Which one do you have?
