Found this while poking around the internets. Just a few pics, but from the look of it, they guy's had the truck converted over to 12 volt. Looks like he might also be running an intercooler. Oliver Diesel - Engines & Outdoors

Hey guys, it looks like I'm gonna be rebuilding GEN2 just as soon as I can get a rebuild kit from CUCV Electric. To that end, I looked up the rebuilding instructions in the TM and did a quick tear down and reassembly of another alt with a stripped bolt hole and questionable internals. On some of...

Just found this while messing around on Google. Not sure if anybody has this somewhere, but I know there are a few folks trying to get more info (TM's, etc.) on them.

Alright, already did a search. Couldn't find anything other than lights not working period. Finally got around to replacing the passenger side rear turn signal today. I had known it hadn't been working for a while. Before that (and even when it wasn't working) all my other lights worked fine (to...

Read a good article: Dual Battery Installation and have seen this a few other places. Apparently, you can weld with car batteries. From what I've read so far, 3 batteries in series works best, but 2 in series (Hmm...where have we seen this?) will work in a pinch. I've even gone as far as...

I had been having this problem for a week or so. Sometimes when driving with the headlights on, I wouldn't be able to see my gauges due to the gauge light not working (or so I thought.) While I hadn't really troubleshooted the problem, I was still running through my head what it could be: Bulbs...

Posting up auction links is a no-no, but has anybody else seen the Suburban that's up on fleabay right now? This thing is screaming to be made into an M1007.

The last few days I had been noticing a clunking noise coming from around the front driver side wheel on my M1028. No shake, shimmy, vibration, or other weird stuff, just a clunking noise that (if I could hear it) seemed to proportional to my speed I.E. it increased the faster I went and vice...

While working in the garage I decided to swap around the alternators in my M1028A1 around as I suspected that one, although I had taken it out and it tested fine, had a faulty voltage regulator. All went according to plan until I noticed that the terminal on the red wire for the alternator was...

I've been having problems with the GEN2 light working properly on my M1028. Now, before anybody jumps in saying replace the bulb, or check the fuse, or check the exciter wire, here's what I've already accomplished: Initially the light wasn't coming on at all. I replaced the bulb and the 24V...

Before anybody says "just pop the hood and look" I understand what a turbo looks like and I'd rather not when somebody else owns the truck and they're not around, if for nothing else than out of respect to them. I'll look all day long, I will never EVER touch without permission. Long story...

When I had GEN2 rebuilt the other day, among other interesting things, the old coot (and I use that as a term of admiration) who rebuilt it let me in on something interesting: He claimed that I could take the red wire from the plug on the alts (which always recieves voltage) and attach it to the...

Seeing as how I was messing around with alternators today, my power steering belt seemed to be stretched out a bit and has been squealing and I have a 900 mile drive ahead of me tomorrow, I decided to replace the belts on the truck today. I had anticipated this and went down to NAPA with the...

I already know what the responses are going to be but, here's my situation: Despite all my replacing, swapping, checking, cleaning, fiddling, rechecking and anything else I can possibly think of, I can't seem to get GEN1 to want charge. You name it, I've done it: Replaced the alternator (twice)...

So after 4 years, I have left the service and am heading back home to Nebraska. Right now I'm in east Tennessee visiting an old friend. The plan is to get some basic stuff done on the truck tomorrow (drop off an spare alternator to have it rebuilt, change the oil, clean the air filter, etc) and...

Found this the other day while looking for a wiring diagram from the TM and thought it was cool. Google Image Result for http://www.73-87.com/7387info/ads_GM/army_cucv.jpg

Has anybody ever run one of these in a CUCV? OD Iron LLC Military Vehicle Parts and Accessories The NSN doesn't match up with the one in the -34, but the website says its for "M series trucks"

Just had another random thought about the multifuel engines in the deuce and halves: Has anybody ever set one of these up to be say, E85 capable or even run on it on a straight mixture of alcohol/ethanal or any sort of ***anol? I mean, they're supposed to be MULTIFUEL engines right? Now before...

I've been thinking this over for a while, but feel I could use a second opinion (or five). Before I get started, I understand the CUCV's have fusible links. I understand that the fusible links are designed to act like a fuse and are there to keep electrical stuff in the circuit from frying...

Does anybody have a good picture of their 24V postive terminal junction block and how its wired up? I pulled all the wires off today to clean the contacts and tried to keep the wires around their respective studs, but there were a few that I couldn't recall exactly (a small red wire, didn't have...
