Welcome, what are you going to get for your first MV?

Each alt is rated at 100Amp output. I would start with the obvious electrical concerns, power feed, grounds, and clean connections.

Sounds like the same thing that happened to me. The throttle cable was coming apart inside the casing till it finally broke. Remove the throttle cable from the injection pump and work the pump if okay check the cable operation with it disconnected.

*A forum dedicated to CUCVs that you can go to find an answer or opion in a matter of miuntes. *The grin you get while listening to the stories your wife tells you about all the people that looked at her and talked to her about the tank she was driving. *20MPG *Washing out the floor with a...

To answer correctly and for us to give our opinions we need more info. Are you sure its the head gaskets and not a cracked head or block? High mileage on the truck or not? Cost of reman engine and install would be more than head gaskets. No need for a 6.5 upgrade unless you have one. (My opion)

I like my piece of cardboard from a big screen TV box. I you want you could have someone draw you a nice picture on it like the guys I work with did. Sorry no pix.

From the research I did 6 months ago I found these bits of info: *CARC paint needs to be removed at least 4 inches from any area that is going to be welded *The dust should not come in contact with the skin or be breathed in I know this has ben covered in the past on this site but I was only...

Throttle cable install. Short story long here goes, I floored it to pass coming home, from work last night, and the thing kept going after I let off, that was fun, I hooked the gas pedal with my foot to pull it up but since its a cable and not mechanical that made difference. No floormat to...

I am south of Detroit 15 minutes if your friend wants to come down to Trenton I can help him out if his truck runs, if not he can come down and I will show him what he wants or needs to know on mine. TM is a great place to start I use them all the time. I can also scan a copy of a good article...

I'll bet the noise is really the CDR valve on the pass side or its where the CDR valve hose connects at the front of the engine fill tube.

I keep mine full of fuel.

The plastic one is under the front fender between the steel inner fender and the fire wall/frame and its held on by 3 or 4 plastic push pins unless its all jacked up like mine then its held in by zip ties. If your 09 is stock it does not have quad shocks.

Wow still amazed at the amount of prople that buy CUCVs and know absolutly nothing about them or how to work on them. Great site to help out the not knowing and to humor those that do.
