    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    I've been asked about how I plan to hook up all the gauges, pre-oiler, fuel filter, TV cable, etc on the rear of my engine. So I thought I would simply take a photo and then label the things for everyone to see. The photo is un-labeled; click on the PDF to download/see the labeling.

    Asking for 6.2 Detroit help from North Carolina

    To expand on what Chevy Mike said, if you plan to keep the rear proportioning valve in the braking system, it needs to be adjusted properly. There is a little dot (see photo) on the black circular disc which surrounds the splined shaft. With the truck fully assembled but with no load (empty...

    Asking for 6.2 Detroit help from North Carolina

    I removed my rear proportioning valve years ago when I installed rear disc brakes. Easy, just connect the main line running rearward with the boss on the rear axle that sends fluid to each rear wheel. My truck stops on a dime, even going backwards. Interestingly, I have not replaced the front...

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

    I just now looked on Parker Racor's website and confirmed that the 660 ports are 3/8"-18 NPT. You might want to verify that the fittings you have are actually 3/8" NPT and that the female orfices have not been opened/rethreaded by somebody else. If it were me I would try a hardware store...

    Asking for 6.2 Detroit help from North Carolina

    In 1988 GM issued a bulletin to remove that rear proportioning valve. It was Bulletin #88-320-5. Not saying you should or shouldn’t, just trying to be helpful. I removed mine years ago after I installed rear disc brakes. Also it may be helpful to others here on SS if you can post the specific...

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    Just thought I would add to this thread a bit. After having and recovering from another heart attack last August, I managed to get my NP241c mounted on the back of my Bowtie 700R4 in February. Everything worked as it should with no issues, except a leaky front output shaft on the 241. This...

    optimizer long block - hummer 24V or cucv 24v

    Try this place. If they don’t carry MDO I’ll bet they know who does. www.detering.com.

    optimizer long block - hummer 24V or cucv 24v

    The thinnest MDO comes is 3/8". Your Homey Depot should have it. If not they can bring in a sheet from another branch - https://www.homedepot.com/p/3-8-in-4-ft-x-8-ft-Douglas-Fir-4-Ply-MDO-P1s-Plywood-208553/202088754 This is important. Mark my words. Just trying to help.

    optimizer long block - hummer 24V or cucv 24v

    Instead of Birch plywood, you may want to consider using Medium Density Overlay plywood (MDO). Speaking from over 50 years in the architectural millwork business, I can attest that Birch plywood will not provide satisfactory performance in the application you are describing. MDO plywood is also...

    Yes that will be good information to have. Thanks.

    Normal fuel pressure?

    Thanks for your reply. - Yeah that's exactly what I am doing. I have mounted a new FFM on a new HMMWV intake and fabricated a -4AN hose from the FFM to the IP. I installed a ported adapter into the out-flow of the FFM so the mechanical fuel pressure gauge will be measuring the precise pressure...

    Normal fuel pressure?

    As many of you know I am assembling a P400 6.5 engine to replace the OEM 6.2 in my M1028. Details can be followed in my rebuild thread link below. My question is, I am installing a mechanical fuel pressure gauge immediately upstream from my injection pump, between the pump and filter, and was...

    Dyna Beads arrived today. Not ready to mount the tires yet, so I will be a while before posting the installation photos.

    37" hummer tire balancing

    I meant to say earlier, welcome to the forum. Yes that is indeed a nice trailer. It would be helpful to other SS members to learn more about how you outfitted it. Maybe a new thread? Also to let you know, I just now ordered the Dyna Beads for my NDT tires. Total cost was a fraction of the...
