You have to turn the pump to change the actual offset. The Tdc Offset learn just learns the value for where the pump is at.
I have a laptop with "carcode" up here in Palm Bay. I also have some custom bent wrenches to get to the 3 bolts holding the pump in place. If you have the right wrenches...
Your having a hard time distinguishing opinion from sage wisdom.
You guys (and girls out there) can do what you want and listen to whomever you want.
If you want the solargizer to work properly and function as intended, you will install the terminals from the black box as I suggested. Don't...
The instructions tell you not to shorten the wires from the black box to the battery.
To do it "RIGHT", the black box should be connected to the (+) of the rear battery and the (-) of the front. Anything else deviates from the instructions and alters the distance between the black box and the...
That spot on the hood is a nice location for the solar panel. I think Aboonski first showed me his in that spot about 2 years ago. I've done the same install on at least three CUCVs.
BUT....to do it RIGHT ( by my interpretation ) you should have:
1. drilled holes
2. removed burrs
3. painted...
Did you remove the flywheel cover? It makes the job easier without removing the driveshaft. In the past, most of the starter r/r I was doing was because of oil pan or rear main seal replacements so the flywheel cover always came off first.
The last starter I swapped was on an '08 and it can be...
I was under the assumption that a clogged return line valve is indicative of the rubber seals breaking down and wearing out. Which in turn will mean the pump will start leaking eventually, even if the "return line check valve" is replaced. This has been my expierence on more than one CUCV.
If...
One thing I've learned is don't ever assume that soldier A or B followed the TM or any specifications when working on your truck.
I picked up a M109A3 once that was a fresh rebuild. The fuel was turned down so low the truck would barely get out of its own way.
It was the start of my...
I would tend to agree with this "expert". A small leak is most likely NOT a rear main...a rear main will be a gusher. If it is the rear main and is small, it wont be for long. Remove the fly wheel cover and inspect. Oil pan leaks, valve cover leaks, and head leaks can easily explain a small leak...
He has a M1010.
Is there a model number on that blue box?
The issue could be a fault or function of that unit.
Is it even working properly??
With a non working duvac, symptoms are similar so I would suspect your blue box has failed.
Get a sure power 52208 or 52210. You won't be disappointed.
I do not believe Florida law defines "public display". This is left open to interpretation.
Slightly off topic, but does reference your post. The section for permanent antique plates and military vehicles does not contain a vehicle age restriction.

I believe all the diodes are for noise suppression in the electrical system. You should be able to cut it out and splice the remaining wires together without any ill affects.
One more thing, there is an "Accurate Diesel" in Orlando, not the same shop mentioned earlier in this thread. Both John and Tim are really helpful guys. Here is a link to the thread with a photo of the biz card. Good luck on the build...
Carcode ( OBD-2 Vehicle Explorer Scan Tool Browser ) can do the TDCO relearn as Steve already pointed out. However, the reccomended procedure is to use a "Key On Key Off" method to initiate the relearn and then check the setting with the scan tool or software.
I've used Carcode on my '96...
Hi,
Yes shipping for the big items may pose a problem unless packed on a pallet and sent truck freight. I'll look at options. The small items I'd definitely take. Door handle hardware, door hinges, ac components, alternators, etc. Alot of this stuff could be packed in flat rate boxes.
As for...
If you dont plan to use the box AC, then you have a great idea of reusing the compressor for a cab AC setup. Smart.
Good luck with your conversion. I'd be interesting in any of the stock parts as you progress, including the AC unit.
EDIT: I think your truck would rattle apart before a solid...
If you want to keep the AC, you have to keep 24v.
Best bet is to remove the duvac and install a battery equalizer. You can find sure power 52208 or 52210 units on ebay for decent prices. I've also heard good things about Vanner.
