I appreciate it man, I'll have an update by the end of next week about it I'm sure.

I'm getting help on this project from two mechanic friends of mine, one who worked on CUCVs in the military and works on trucks/cars/motorcycles every day, and my other buddy has worked on cars/trucks, especially Chevys, all his life. He works at a hydraulic shop, but does a lot of diesel/motor...

My buddy's got a few at his shop and he's pretty straight with a drill, gonna get at that next week when he's available again and the weather clears up. He agreed though that a left handed bit should do the trick, thanks.

Hahahaha I found my problem guys. One was in the starter and one was laying in the yard under where I had the truck. Gonna have to drill it out.

10-4 man. I'll look up the part number and see if I can get a replacement. In the meantime I'll straighten her out check the torque on the back bolt and see if I can get her to crank over.

I didn't see a bracket up towards the front. You're talking about the one that goes up against the block? The starter isn't original, it's the 12V model, I don't know if that should make a difference but I didn't see any bracket when I was under there yesterday. I saw it on the TM diagram that I...

Hey guys, Finally getting my bearings with using the forums! Here's the situation: I could get my truck to crank and fire up all the way until last weekend. Now it just makes a free spinning whirring sound. Details: Turn the key to battery on, hold the glow plug button in for about 5 seconds...
