I think I ran across a CUCV quick reference tech manual the other day.
Looking to print and bind it for my trip home tomorrow but search is turning up empty.
Can't help but lust after all the clean trucks up on Goodyear 37" Radials's.
10-4 on replacing the shiny 30amp heater relay. Smoking the starter would suck.
Very nice!!! Just bought my first CUCV and love what you are doing with them. Defiantly cool to see them brought to a condition where folks gawk and lust.
2 questions:
1. For the pattern ~ did you air brush, or maybe use a touch up gun? It looks like great solid coverage but soft edges...
PO lit mine off today with the quickest sniff of start fluid :-? and glow plugs disabled. I'm hoping others will let me know if this is wrong as I'll be starting it on my own in 36 hrs.
I'm torn ~ I don't think there is a straight panel on it. First I'm going to clean up the electrical / mechanicals and learn the truck.
I am leaning heavily toward the ORD shackle flip + ??? up front and 33-35. I'm coastal / tidal = flatland but I don't want to kill the towing ability...
Bought my first MV today :beer: Can't wait to get it home.
Good:
Runs and drives
LOCAL Private sale
11K miles
Best of the litter / least rust (owner was keeping this one for himself)
Fresh Drive shaft
NEW Shocks @ all 4 corners
Clean interior with sound deadening.
Shackles @ all...
Thanks,
I'll dig thru the schematics later this evening and reassess.
Ideally I'll go back down and wire it up correctly (older gentleman and a friend of my brother-in-law). Then take it from there ~
I was there with cell and camera and didn't take any auaauaaua.
Lead from front of front battery is going down to starter. Rear lead of front battery connects to front of rear battery. Rear of rear battery connects to ground boss on fire wall.
I do not yet have my head wrapped around...
Drove 50 miles to look at a M1008 this morning. Some one had stolen and cut the batteries out of it. The owner rewired it up best he could but wired it up straight 24v connecting one battery to the other in series.
He said currently he could jump start it but it would not start on it's own...
