    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...

    This is a similar lug end for the CUCV positive cable to starter connection. It allows for correct clocking and safe attachment of the cable. This way the cable only fits one way and is correct when installed. Your way will work also. I just go thru the trouble and change the cables when I see...

    The 24 volt buss bar has 5/16" fine thread nuts and the grounds on the engine block are m10 x 1.5. I hope that helps.

    Strange thing is I see vehicles like this all the time. Everyone is a mechanic and excels at stereo installation. The add this and add that and then they wonder why things go south quickly. When I bought used vehicles for daily drivers, I would never buy one that had anything changed from stock...

    10 ft lbs max with the gaskets on the valve covers. After that you are crushing them. 20 ft lbs with the sealer only same goes.

    That is why every good mechanic has a set of thin tappet wrenches. May i recommend that if you work on your CUCV you have at least a thin 13MM and a thin 15MM wrench. I had a friend mill down a set of inexpensive Craftsman wrenches in metric and standard. Just the open end side. Saved a lot of...

    They are both the same. they should both have an isolated ground stud on them. there is no difference. The Gen 1 has a separate ground wire from the 1/4" case mounted stud on the alternator to the M10 stud on the coolant cross over manifold. The other Gen 2 on passengers is just wired into the...

    Please tell us you didn't put gaskets under the valve covers. I always use valve cover gaskets on every 6.2 diesel I work on and have to remove the valve covers. Part Details (drivparts.com) I put a light coating of Permatex® The Right Stuff® Black 1 Minute Gasket Maker, 5 OZ – Permatex on...

    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...
