Transmission leaking fiercely scare me. I have seen more than one CUCV with the tail section of the transmission cracked and the transfer case front housing cracked from being carried around with a loader or forklift. Good Luck. The bolts that go into the transfer case are 15MM the bolts that go...
I can no longer watch. Why are you cobbling this truck with unneeded modifacations? The mechanical fuel pump works and will not fail without notice. The dog head relay is only another relay that can fail just like the original relay you cut out. Besides now you have exposed positive terminals in...

OK. I will reship. No worries. It is an easy come easy go part. Besides I will get it shipped out next week. I received a fuel pump for a John Deere tractor. Not in my name but my address. I looked on Facebook and found a few people within the local area with that name. No report back. A few...
