Had a thought. On my M1008 the plow pump is a Meyers E60. It is slow as heck and the pump only has one battery as a buffer. Is there any reason I could not wire just the pump motor to the 24v side of the batts ? I was told a DC motor doesnt matter but I am not sure of that. What do you guys think ?

Does anyone have any experience with deutz diesels ? I have a 3 cyl air cooler one in my New Holland and it's losing power under load. I found the fuel supply line leaking at the LiftPump but that did not solve the problem so I would like to test the output pressure on the LP (it is mech) but...

I'm gonna try to a detailed write up for swapping an IP. I know this is all in the "TM" but I have done many many 6.2 IPs so I got it down to about just under 2 hrs if the new IP is sitting next to me ready to go on. today was not a 2hr day...aua So the symptoms were hard starting if the...

I want a diesel reliable standby generator. What should I look for and what should I pay ?

When I am using alot of accesories particularly the snowplow something starts clicking under the dash somewhere and the volt meter drops but I can't figure out what ? The more things I have on the more it does it. ONe of the fusible links going to the lug on the firewall was burned up. I fixed...

So my M1008 took a pretty serious beating last winter. Crap on the roads around here wreck everything. Oddly enough the body seems to have fended off the stuff. I really think the CARC Paint under the white paint saved the truck from salt. The body is very clean for a 25 yr old truck. The frame...

I got a gallon I am getting ready to paint Sunday. Any tricks ? Is the stuff decent ? I could not find anywhere a civilian could buy real CARC paint and from what I saw I am not equipped to spray it safely anyway. Any pointers/opinions would be great. The Olive drab I got from them was a bit...

rofl Ok, I know it's a hack job. I am putting a turbo on so I don;'t want to spend money fixing the duals and they fell off behind the cab. Cab forward they are still good and i had a 5 inch pipe from a Class 8 so I ob longed it and slid it over and welded it up. Total cost about 15$ for the...

Anyone know where I can find a serp belt water pump pulley for a 6.5 with the hyd fan clutch ?

So after I beat it in the mudbog last weekend it's time to clean it up. I bought this truck 2 yrs ago and the frame was spotless and now look after 2 winters. The stuff they use is brutal. So before it gets any worse, I yanked the bed off(by myself) tonight and am going to clean up the frame and...

And they say 6.2s have no balls.... I actually caught air on the way out.

Well thanks to a friend in NY I have a nice NV4500 setup from a 93 with everything to put in my 86 K30/M1008. I hope it compliments the 4.56s gears and 35 inch tires. I will try to document as much of the swap as possible. After this then I am going to swap out the v belt system for Serp...

The title pretty much says it all.

Hey Guys, Been awhile. Lot going on but thought I would post some pics. Before anyone calls BS on the 30" Look at all the pics. Some were taken in the morning while it was still snowing. This was from the big storm last week. Still cleaning up. But the old M1008 pushed that stuff outta the way...

Hey guys. Looking for some basic info on these. I didn't see stickys in this section so if I missed them someone please point me to them. My questions are as follows: Do these trucks have 6.5TDs ? Are the Waterpumps Sepr belt or V belt ? Is the rotation of the Water Pump CW or CCW ? And finally...

Truck has the stock unmolested dual alt system It will only charge if the engine is revved way up then it will stay excited. If the truck is shut off it will not charge until that is done. I had the alt tested and it is fine. The gen 1 light does not go on with the key. Bulb is good. I have no...

Well my 6.2 has the usual drain back issues common to the factory mechanical LP. You can replace it with another one or installed a check valve I suppose but I personally just don't like them. A stock LP for a 6.5 or a Walbro FRB-5 is more than sufficient for a 6.2, even a modded one but...

They say these CUCV's are bad azz off road and I believe it. The family cat passed away today(it was her time) and of course it's nothing but mud out, snowing and the ground is too hard to dig by hand so I was trying to dig a hole with the skidsteer and buried it to the belly pan. The ground...

So I got a Diamond setup(a copy of a Meyers EZ Mount Classic) and I want to put it on the CUCV but finding a truck mount was near impossible. Only one guy in PA had one and he wanted 550$ Plus shipping and it would probably need to be modified anyway due to the hieght of my CUCV so I decided I...

I'm so pissed though. No one carries 9/16 shank style lugnuts for my Redneck/general lee wheels. I had to mail order them from Summit. I sat one tire on anyway. Looks cool. Hard to believe it's only a 4 inch. Looks more like 6 to me.
