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

    Replaced the right front tire. My 2 year old MTR hit something while backing up. Cracked the side wall. Man getting those PVC inserts out of the old tire is a b*tch! Ended up cutting the sidewall to pull it out.

    6.2L fuel leak

    I got a rebuild kit from Gomers diesel. Took off the top cap and pulled the accelerator shaft out (you'll have to pull the intake manifold to get the shaft out.) Put new o rings on the shaft and buttoned it up. Installed new intake gaskets. Hasnt leaked since. Good luck

    6.2L fuel leak

    CUCV is correct it could be the return fuel lines. Also check the o rings for the throttle shaft that runs through the IP. I had those leak. It ran down the gallery under the intake and out the back of the engine. Dripped down by the starter. Good luck
