Wow, amazing. And if Darryl Greenamyer hadn't destroyed the Kee Bird there would be 3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kee_Bird

CUCV or not it is a very nice truck.

I think CPF240 nailed it. In your picture of the starter where you wrote the word flowing is the transmission cooler line. It is on the right side. Right above the starter. Perhaps it chafed through. Clean that and have a look behind whatever that material is that's wrapped around it.

That makes sense. There is a controller for the low coolant light circuit. It probably senses the ground through the coolant. I read up on a few troubleshooting tips. Might just be as simple as a bad bulb.

2 female spade connectors?

How does that sensor work on a plastic tank? Does it seek ground through the coolant or the tank itself. Mine never worked even on the copper radiator when it was empty. The TM shows the sensor needs ground. So I'm guessing it needs a jumper to ground. Then figure out why the light never...

What? A no AC vehicle in Vegas? Don't blame you.

Great news Stonepicker. Must have been a huge sigh of relief when it fired right up. And only 6,000 miles or so on the odo? You did very well.

On mine the 2 long bolts that hold the case on were loose due to the rear bracket being loose. The armature had been rubbing against to field bad enough to stop the starter from turning. It cranked slowly when hot. After we pulled it apart, greased and tightened everything correctly it worked...

Latvius, did you paint the digi-camo or did it come that way? I like it.

Well, they are Chinese made per their website. But then most everything is nowadays. http://www.usmotorworks.com/faqs.php

Exactly, and if I wanted the 16's they would be gone.

Well there was also the 30 minute hunt for the single 15 mm socket. Must be a popular size. I founds gobs of 14's and 16's.

Quick and Dirty Starter overhaul. While fixing the water in fuel issue last week I noticed that the starter body was loose. Today I had a few free hours and decided to pull it off and go through it. Here is what I found. The upper bolt on the bracket had been bottomed out into the block...

I ended doing just that. The glow plug system is completely in stock configuration. Would not start after sitting warm about 30 minutes. I added the button to warm the plugs when the controller does not. 10 seconds and it lights right up.

It should come on for a few seconds when you first turn on the ignition. It will go off before the wait light. Unless you have water in the filter.

Monday I noticed the water in fuel light stayed on. So I did some research, easy fix. Tuesday I tried to start it and drain the filter. No go. Too late. Engine will not run on water despite the fact it's made out of oxygen and hydrogen. Pulled the filter off, drained it, learned how to...

Glad you walked away from that. American Iron!

Your glow plugs pull 70-100 amps at 12 volts. Roughly. That is 840-1200 watts. If your converter can't deliver that much power then the voltage will drop.

From Okanogan County in northern Washington State? I seem to recall a bunch of those on GSA awhile back. From a fire department in Washington.
