Just so you will know, oil pressure is the measurement of oil resistance throughout the system, and not necessarily an indication of the efficiency of an oil pump. If your bearing surfaces are worn, the gaps between the moving parts will be larger and therefore allow more oil to move more...

Excellent.

Darn I hate it that you are having overheating issues. Probably the next phone call should be to Chris at Bowtie to see what he thinks can be done to improve the issue. Also reach out to Glockfan in Utah. Joe Grant is a great guy with a great CUCV. If I remember correctly he just recently...

Sounds kinda like a rusted ground strap combined with burnt glow plugs. If it were mine, I would start by removing the ground strap, sanding the connecting surfaces, and reconnecting with a new bolt/nut and dielectric grease. I would then remove the glow plug resistor and power the plugs with 12...

GEEEEEEZZZUUUUSSSKKKRRRIIIISSSTTT!!! I wish I could un-see that.

John at Hillbilly Wizard has that bracket used.

Ummmm..... I believe this thread should be moved over to the CUCV Modification forum.

Thanks. Let me know.

Still looking for a source for the male part of this plug. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Built a mock-up of my new gauge cluster for my M1028. Everything fit as designed, so actual metal fabrication will start next. All gauges will be mechanical - Oil Pressure, Water Temperature, Transmission Temperature, Fuel Pressure, and Oil Temperature. In the middle will be a brand new HMMWV...

Thanks for that story. Glad the American taxpayers took care of things. I understand that our CUCVs are 12-volt negatively-grounded to the frame, I get that. I was just wondering if there was any issue with returning 24 volts back to the frame through the starter. Evidently not, as it has...

Thanks!!!!

While pondering all things CUCV, it occurred to me that the starters in our trucks, which are the only 24 volt appliances under the hood, are indeed grounded because they are bolted to the engine. Does this mean it’s OK if 24 volts are returned to the electrical system through a vehicle ground?

Have you considered installing rear disc brakes?

The original CUCV 6.2 OEM pump is Stanadyne DB28294267. GM part #14077179. John Hucksdorf at Hucksdorf Diesel can supply this pump completely rebuilt to OEM specs and flow tested. I haven’t read this whole thread so I will ask the question - have you checked the rubber fuel supply hose that...

I posted this over in the Electrical forum but thought it might get more looks here. Do any of the SS Vendors offer the male plug that connects into the 6.5 tach drive? Not sure if this plug was "standard" on the HMMWV wiring harness or optional. Thanks.

How's this Gimp?

Does anybody know a source for the male connector (vehicle side) for the tach drive? Thanks in advance.

Ummm..... not sure where you are getting your info. Freeze plug heaters come in 600 - 1000 watt sizes. Their amperage load at 120 volts is therefore 6-8.3 amps. My Wolverine oil pan heater is rated at only 2.1 amps. So to set the record straight, the most efficient heater will be the oil pan...

Sometimes the effort to install a block heater, especially when the engine is still in the truck, may seem a bit overwhelming for a younger, less-mechanically-experienced truck owner. I know it did for me 40-50 years ago. As an alternative, I have found that an applied oil-pan heater will...
