    I Need a Voltmeter Gauge for a CUCV M1009 1985

    Question, I had picked up a MV volt meter, but it seems to be for a Deuce or another type MV that has anclosed guage panel, as the back of gauge is clear for illumation ( no provision for dash light in CUCV ) Do you also have to install the 300ohm resistor to used this in a CUCV?

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    it probably wouldnt hurt to loosen trans/TC mount, but i would feel safer if you leave the bolt loose during that process, while your lifting motor. as you dont want anything to shift/roll or fall while your underneath. that would make for a bad day.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    yes... loosen both sides... and than using a floor jack/bottlejack and a block of wood, jack up on side to relieve tension, remove bolt... jack further up and remove/replace mount. lower motor down and reinstall bolt.. ( leave loose...) repeat other side... once complete reomve jack and...
