    Speedometer drive gear?

    Here is the most helpful site I have found. You can calculate your exact driven gear (if you know your drive gear) based on axle ratio and tire diameter. Or scroll down to see the different gears and their corresponding color and tooth count. Note - in our 4WD trucks the gears are in the tail...

    Speedometer drive gear?

    The OEM drive gear in the NP208 is a grey 15-tooth, GM #14037997. The OEM driven gear in M1008 and M1028 is a yellow 41-tooth. No doubt thus combination was for the stock tires and wheels. Not sure about M1009. Regarding the Drive Gear, fewer teeth will slow down the speedometer reading and more...

    How to keep her cool?

    OK, at the risk of getting flamed, I will jump in here with my opinion. I agree with everything Jim said in his 2006 post on the DieselPage. The bypass system currently commercially offered by Paradox does exactly what is is advertised to do - re-route some of the coolant from the rear of the...

    Horsepower Requirements for fan?

    Thanks. I will give him a call on Monday to discuss. I plan on running the fan at 24-volts to decrease the amperage draw.

    Horsepower Requirements for fan?

    Hey Mike - which controller are you running on your electric fan? I would like to have the soft-start feature and variable speed control, however to take your advice I would like to avoid the built-in controller if possible. Thanks.

    84 m1009 cucv chevy blazer build-up

    Sorry for the delayed post. Here are photos of my custom-fabricated aircraft preoiler pump and its related piping. The P400 oil pan is heavy cast aluminum, so I welded a bung on the side for the suction fitting and -06AN hose. I then routed the hose around the rear of the head through custom...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Thanks for your post. Looks like a clean engine compartment. Please post more information on the batteries and Solargizer in case other SS members would like to do the same upgrade.

    84 m1009 cucv chevy blazer build-up

    Nice work. I’m actually using that same port over the oil cooler lines as the pressure inlet from the 24-volt aircraft pre-oiler pump. Suction will be from the oil pan up through the pre-oiler then through a check valve and down to the port. -06AN hoses through the entire routing. I’ll post...

    Adapter between Transmission and Transfer Case

    Sorry Rick. I forgot about your stockpile of parts. Guess I’m getting old.

    Adapter between Transmission and Transfer Case

    Just tell John what you have and what you need and he will fix you up.

    Adapter between Transmission and Transfer Case

    If your truck has the OEM TH400 transmission and NP208 transfer case, the adapter is GM part #14020861. Shown as item #3 in Figure 81 in the -34P TM. Also don't forget the gaskets 14020854 and 8623216. The adapter is probably readily available from John at Hillbilly Wizard...

    M1009 IP Bulbs

    Here's a very informative PDF which explains and illustraates the entire dash electrical system. Can't remember who on here posted it a while back, but it is certainly one of the best documents I have ever seen pertaining to the CUCV dash lights. There are only three (3) bulbs which illuminate...

    I have had excellent service from Huckstorf Diesel in Wisconsin. John Huckstorf is, in my opinion, extremely knowledgable on these pumps and can set the fuel at whatever flow rate you want. He can also furnish you any part you need, such as hybrid lines to marry a mechanical punp to newer 6.5...

    Sway Bar Extensions

    Cross-over steering and a sway bar will not work together. So I took my sway bar off and threw it away. Zero problems and much more articulation.

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    Hopefully soon. I've had 6 surgeries and 2 heart attacks since I started this project. Things seem to be settling down, so maybe this fall I can pull the front clip off and get the show on the road. Rest assured, I will keep my rebuild thread active as soon as the fireworks start.
