Agree, my rule of thumb when messin around with old or even new vehicles is to start with the simple/cheap fixes first. Ah lot of times it's those little ten cent pieces that make big problems.

Well if there's air in the fuel at that point, then you know your problem is upstream from there. If there's no air, then you know the problem is after the Injection pump. This is just a point of reference ,(Like a sight glass) to see what's going on. If you don't see any fuel moving at all, you...

If you install ah piece of clear line (temporarily) in place of the small return line coming out, of the top of the Injection pump. You can see if your getting fuel, or air bubbles coming out of the I.P.

Off the top of my head, for starters I'd say make sure (BOTH) batteries are in good and (EQUAL) working order. And ask the current owner how long he's had it and what all he's done. When you first get these trucks from the government they've bin sitting for 30+ years so most if not all rubber...

If your worried about cooling you should go ahead and add an external trans cooler. This is the one I used..http://www.etrailer.com/question-295.html

I found one on Ebay for $8.95 free shipping , Stant #10076

Check your belts, loose belts slipping, or flapping around can also cause vibration.

I was able to get one out with ah pair of needle nose vise grips and ah claw hammer. I clamped the vise grips straight on the glow plug nut. Then while holding it straight with the grips, used the claw end of the hammer, on the tip of the vise grips to slowly pry it out. The key is to keep it as...

Well as you'll soon find out, especially living in south fl. These trucks have lackluster cooling systems. And any real load will cause the temp to rise. That being said I'd recommend adding ah temp gauge so you'll know what's going on.

First off welcome to the family. From your questions It sounds like you've bin doing some lite reading. You'll need to read through all the TM's at the top of the forum page as this will answer the bulk of the problems you'll experience with these trucks. As for the oil leak, (If it is the oil...

Every time I've worked on the cooling system of my M1028 it took 5 to 6 heat cycles to purge all the air out. Also it won't build any pressure till then either.

Well before I had ah chance to install my turbo kit. I was driving around with the original old crusty system and 1 muffler fell off! It sounded like crap! I actually self tappered and wire hangered it on till I could get around to replacing the whole system. Another point, even if it did sound...

Here someone just posted another video of it. Not sure of what the object of this game is but I looks like the game lets you winch out of holes which is kinda coolhttps://www.youtube.com/results?lclk=today&filters=today&search_query=cucv

Ahh thanks I missed that. Yeah I think this game is called "spintires" ? I'm not ah gamer so I have no idea where you'd find this? X-box? or PlayStation I would assume?

Agree great pics I guess you were ah fan of these trucks even way back then:D. I found this post of some assembly line pics from GM that show the CUCV's with black wheels. Not ever being in the Military myself, (I can only assume), that based I what I've seen in popular television and the news...

So I found this on you tube today and thought it was interesting. I guess I could pretend to drive my truck when ever it breaks down.........https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLnCnf0c0nU

Well that sounds right on par with my experience with my M1028. Ever sense I added the Banks turbo the temp rises up about 210° under any load. I've bin thinking about upgrading to an aluminum rad, and possibly electric fans to see if that helps.

M1028, and yeah I know ah half ah second ain't much, and I probably wouldn't have even noticed it if I didn't drive the truck every day. I just thought I could head off ah problem at the pass.

Did the HMMWV coolant crossover swap ah few months back, and it started leaking? As it turns out the new style of glycol antifreeze eats gasket sealer. I used sealer ONLY, on the flanges that mount to the head and made ah gasket for the thermostat housing also using sealer. It started leaking at...

So I've noticed now that the weather has gotten warmer that there is a very sleight delay when I shut off the key. The engine continues to run, but only for about ah half ah second. Is this something I should be concerned with? Is there something going bad? Or is this just ah normal summer time...
