Keep it Simple S_____! OK, so I am pretty familiar with the CUCV electrical system. And, I'm usually careful and reasoned in my diagnostic approach. Well, I came close to spending money I didn't have to because I rushed a diagnosis. Parked the M1008A1 in the driveway, and figured while it...

Finally got a chance to replace the blower motor resistor. Used ACDelco #15-80829 (GM #500890) Made by Indak in the USA!

Heater and Bypass Hose Sizes Replace your heater and radiator hoses too! You need about 4' of 3/4" and 4' of 5/8" to make up your heater hoses. You can cut a small amount off the 5/8" for the bypass hose. Change your clamps at the same time. Cheap insurance. The TM's specify what length...

The glow plugs are a fairly heavy drain. Check this video out: http://youtu.be/MTkOl947aTk (Thanks again to Antennaclimber) Automotive electrical and charging systems can be daunting until you understand them. The CUCV's hybridized 12/24 volt system adds some additional potential for...

Separate issues until you diagnose each system and prove they are correlated. Glow plug system in afterglow is most likely the cause of the voltmeter/relay behavior. This is normal. Antennaclimber made a great video on this which can also be found on YouTube. As far as your dead battery, you...

May be a silly question, but is the transfer case in neutral?

I think this would be something to be considered if the product had a legally binding guarantee. I may have missed it, but have yet to see a written legally binding document from the manufacturer/distributor stating that they will cover damages caused by use of their product. To me, this is...

My 2cents. Please, this is not intended to offend anyone. Just sharing my perspective. If you want to use a particular product, or choose not to, please realize that is always your choice. I am just sharing my thought process on these types of things. To my way of thinking, anecdotes and...

Hi Cody, welcome to the site. My understanding is that John started his "business" more as a service to the rest of us MV nuts than as a money making venture. He runs it in his spare time, and I'm guessing he has put considerable personal capital into it to get it started. I understand your...

Roger that. You need a Diesel compression tester with the proper adapter to fit the glow plug port of the 6.2/6.5. Harbor Freight sells one, just FYI.

OK, Apologies for going off topic. But since the OP asked ... All of these are great signs. A compression test is a diagnostic tool that, when performed correctly, does not lie. Think of it like checking someones temp with your hand vs with a thermometer. Your hand is a pretty good...

Excellent point. The seal is important as well. For all members who own an M1009, don't forget the cable replacement procedure is slightly different for your trucks.

See my previous post. Internal parts are most likely scored. Like Warthog said, a properly rebuilt IP and Injectors will make a world of difference. It will seem like a new truck. One more thing, have you performed a compression test on your engine? Diesels are compression ignition and you...

The same holds true for the injectors. You can replace the nozzle, but they have to be set to the correct "pop" pressure and must not leak. Otherwise you will not be able to guarantee your timing. The IP and injectors work in concert. I highly advise rebuilt and properly calibrated injectors...

Do you remember the part number? Thanks

Oh yeah, make sure you get a pump calibrated for the "J" code or "Heavy Duty" engine.

Rebuilt IP and Injectors The TM's document the procedure, so you should be able to determine whether or not you have the inclination to perform the rebuild yourself by reading the procedure. Search posts. I know prices members have gotten on rebuilds vary greatly. You will also see what...

Check put this post: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?54524-What-have-you-done-to-your-CUCV-today-lately&p=1293336&viewfull=1#post1293336 Cable AC Delco #88959481 is working great so far, and is the superseding part. A little longer than original 25033627, which is what the -20P...

gPrez, did the GV guy Mike tell you what the unit is looking for on the 4WD circuit? Does it want to see 12 V relative to ground? Or ground relative to 12 v? The way that circuit is wired, the circuit runs through the light, down to the switch on the T Case through the white wire, back to a...
