What is the current scrap value for a 6.2/6.5? What is the best way to determine the scrap value at the current time?

Cold Start Experiences Here is how both of my trucks started in the near 0F temps we had this past week. I intentionally did not plug in the block heaters. Background: I performed the 12v GP bypass with AC60G's during the warmer months. This was the first time I had a chance to run empirical...

Do you know how this is done on a DB2 pump? I believe the solenoid is inside the pump on these.

Welcome. Any pics of the new acquisition?

The TM -34 specifies the use of "Pipe Sealant" for use on the threads of the stud in question, #23 on page 3-182 under "Installation". This one I understand, as it passes into the water passage in the engine. What I never understood was the requirement of pipe sealant to the 4 bolts #17 and 2...

How does that headliner mount up? Screws into the sheet metal? Thanks

I think they get very soft and swell after 25+ years, hence they look almost the same size externally. I guess that may be a good way to tell when you need new hoses, when they look the same size? rofl

Sorry Warthog, I was a little slower than you on that one ...

doesn't Carnac offer a service? http://www.steelsoldiers.com/member.php?3464-CARNAC

Badger worked fine for me. The truck is still running great. Starts up in the mid teens (F) no sweat. Fuel economy seems fine. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?54524-What-have-you-done-to-your-CUCV-today-lately&p=1281610&highlight=#post1281610...

I can't speak to the meters, but Snap On has a good reputation. The situation I am describing was only found on a complete tear down of the alternator where the stator was explicitly checked for shorts. As I said, it was a very high resistance short, so your meter needs to be able to detect...

I've seen this issue with a high resistance short of the stator windings in the alternator. You would not see it if tested with a light. You must check it with a good meter (no HF freebies for this job).

Just make sure it is non de-natured ethanol and NOT IPA. That would be bad :drool:!

Glow Plug Resistor Bypass Very sweet ride. Want to sell it? :-D I recommend the bypass for civilian use. You can read a lot about the pros and cons if you search the CUCV forum. But, in short the military had to compromise on the design (what design isn't a set of compromises?) in order to...

Excellent. Glad this helped! Very happy you are taking the time to validate the condition of an engine you plan on selling. I hope you are well rewarded for the extra time you invested. And now that we know you have a good engine (compression wise), will you be listing it in the classifieds?

Just guessing, but I bet the naptha dissolved what was left of the wiper surfaces on the old seals. What did you do to resolve?

Expensive Parts Cleaner Now that sounds like expensive cleaner! :shock: On sale around here it is $7 or so a can before tax. Maybe try mixing up your own batch :idea:: Diesel is less than $5 a gallon (thankfully). IPA can be had at wallyworld as ISO Heat in 99% form for a buck a pint or...

What is SeaFoam, really? http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?101546-SeaFoam-motor-treatment-in-vacuum-lines-M1009&p=1294692&viewfull=1#post1294692 Diesel, Naptha, and Isopropyl Alcohol. Benefits? They seem to have a great marketing gig going. Certainly benefits Sea Foam Sales...

Compression Test Analysis and Commentary Hi Rich, I noted some items in your write up that I may be able to assist with. There are some semantics at play here. Please bear with me on this. It is important to understand exactly what the TM is stating. The TM specifically states "Normal...
