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

    somewhere between 1 and half pound and 2 pounds , draw the vacume and add gas till the compressor quits cycling and then measure vent temp, should be like 30-40 degrees, once you achieve that stop. More works backwards

    block heater or no block heater

    `for operation below zero degrees f kat battery heaters, circulating heaters and tranny heater is a good idea, a must below -10. Heaters should only come on when below 20 degrees or 1-2 hours before departure when above 20 degrees for minimizing heat up times. A dual stage setup would work...

    Time to change the batteries

    the only two that my research showed were compatible with both extended cold weather and diesel vibration were the 6TL or the 31XHD . Both have the apx same capacity at 0 degrees and both are high enough capacity to support the 60 second glow plug time after being exposed for up to 3 days at -20...

    headlight upgrade

    I purchased a kit with the Hella lamps and then discovered to my dismay why the military ran away from HID to the LED.. Super wideband noise on the 2-way radio bands, in fact enough to wipe out or limit to local only comms on any VHF radio because of the white noise that comes from the ARC...

    here is a picture of the mounting hard points added to the dash by the OEM, to where the mounts would be attached, shown in picture 2 is the standard bracket used for the aux heater control on the right and speaker local control on the left. I am trying to figure out if there is a longer dash...

    On the Dash there is usually a bracket installed that allows for a speaker / control monitor setup on the left and a heater control panel on the right for the winter ops engine and interior aux heater setup. While having the dash apart I noticed that there is another set of holes in the welded...

    What do your neighbors and other drivers think of your CUCV

    put up a sign saying 'Poisonous Reptile Breeding Farm' with a picture of a coiled rattlesnake underneath, that should keep anyone and everyone away. Course they will cut off the utilities after the meter reader refuses to gp into your yard.

    cucv headlight recomendations

    The LED headlamps by trucklite only draw 1.7 amps on high or 23.8 watts and are a third brighter than the Incandescent or Halogens because the lights output is narrow in frequency, that is all one color. Whereas a standard filament type bulb has a lot of energy wasted in the infra red region and...
