    6.2 Fuel Rate

    Use a NEW allen wrench, if you strip that screw the only way to fix it is to tear the pump apart and replace it. I would not go more than a 1/8 turn unless you have a pyrometer to watch the EGT's. The first thing to go on these engines with too much fuel are the pistons (they will melt). Look...

    M1008 vibration

    1/2ton shafts are NOT the same. They will have different u-joints. As stated above, it must come from a long bed 4x4 truck with a th400 trans/np208 transfer case & a 14bolt full float rear axle. It shouldn't cost more than 150 to have a new tube cut and your yokes welded to it, call around to...

    Gota question or two about the Alts in my M1031

    They are interchangeable as long as both the alternators have ISOLATED GROUNDS. An alternator shop will be able to tell you. The drivers side alternator does Not have to have an isolated ground, but the passenger side MUST.

    hummwv wheels on a m1009

    you cant do the simple spacer with the blazer axles. you'd be better off paying a shop to weld 6lug centers into the rims. or getting 8lug hubs for the front axle and swapping the rear axle for an 8lug model.

    instrument cluster wiring diagram

    look in the technical manuals, ALL the wires are labeled as to where they go and what color they are. Its in the "direct Maint." manual that I have linked to in the sticky'd post at the top of the CUCV forum. The wiring is in appendix F

    Important Fuel Injection Pump question, please help

    RE: Re: RE: Important Fuel Injection Pump question, please h short of filling your tank with gasoline, nothing she dumped in would hurt the engine, other than maybe clog your fuel filter.

    Gear ratio for M1008.

    the 1008 is to move things, sometimes heavy stuff. the 1009 is scouting and radio truck. remember the military speed limit for a convoy is 35mph.

    Important Fuel Injection Pump question, please help

    Re: RE: Important Fuel Injection Pump question, please help There is a thin line scratched into the base of the IP where its bolted to the block, and a mark on the plate its bolted to. DONT CHANGE YOUR TIMING, you have enough issues with that truck.

    Important Fuel Injection Pump question, please help

    The leak will only get worse over time, but its not likely to fail overnight. I'd call around on monday and see what you can find out. That way you aren't waiting till the truck is down to figure out what you must do.

    Important Fuel Injection Pump question, please help

    That shaft does have a seal on it, i dont know if its replaceable in the truck though. Your best bet is to call a local truck service shop and ask who they send turbo's and IP's to for rebuild. Call that shop and ask a Tech. Our IP's ( DB2) are very common.

    GL takes $, Still no invoice.

    I received no such email. Something like this should be on the front page of the site, or a page that is loaded when you login. I reiterate my stance that this is no fair to anyone, just charge us the 25% fee up front, that way you have your money and we arent screwed with waiting for goods we...

    M1008 with a back-up warning signal???

    Most of the military trucks didnt get the seatbelt alarm hooked up. None of them have the sensor for the interior lighting when the doors are open.
