Thanks for the update, I hope you will let him know about the forum and he will continue this interesting thread. Are you planning on another cucv?

I wonder what happened...he could have walked back home by now.

Nothing wrong with asking, enjoy the dull look,there's really nothing else out there like it. 8-)

You have to be kidding, I don't think you could shine up CARC paint with less than 50 gallons of clear coat. I'm certain that even attempting to wax it would create the biggest mess you have ever seen. How would you even wipe it off, the paint is like sandpaper?

I'm a little confused, I have a regular TN tag on the deuce, is that the wrong tag? I've always kept the tag in the glove box anyhow, there was nowhere to mount it and I thought it would look dumb with a license plate. Never had any issues but very rarely drove the truck, and haven't in over...

I'm a little confused, I have a regular TN tag on the deuce, is that the wrong tag? Actually I've always kept the tag in the glove box, there was nowhere to mount it and I thought it would look dumb with a license plate anyhow. I've never had any issues though.

He could join AAA and be covered instantly for one 200 mile tow. That should be enough to get the truck somewhere that it can be stored, or some assistance can be given. I think for the plan that costs around $30 more , you can get a 300 mile tow.

How much would it cost to rent a truck and dolly from U-haul vs. Injection pump? Seems like you have already sunk too much money into chasing the problem already. At least it should be cooler in a few weeks if you're still in the parking lot pulling the engine out. :roll:

Ok thanks, that makes sense, I thought the FIRST thing you did was start with the spin on mod. That seemed a little strange in a break down situation.

Sorry about your situation, dumb question though, why did you feel it was necessary to covert to a spin on filter instead of just replacing the OEM? I would have left that thing a time ago under those circumstances and worried about getting it back later. Frankly, I would have taken a rental...

I don't know anything about it , but this video just popped up on my YouTube recomended list. The comments are pretty interesting. https://youtu.be/TncqnkMjEmk

Ok, thanks, I think you're right about the price. If it was around $75 I would seriously be tempted to get one though. However, my transmission appears to have 93k miles already, so at this point there probably is no point.

Just out of curiosity, how would something like this work out? I'm assuming it would stick down too much, increasing the possibility of it being knocked off by something. However, if the vehicle isn't used for off roading, how much could this increase the lifespan of the tranny...

Ok thanks guys, great recommendations.I really like the PVC pipe idea with something tied to lower the assembly maybe and the stool would definitely make it easier also. Using both of those ideas should allow me to do it. I think I'll still put plywood or something down to make for a better...

I'm working on a gravel driveway, so anything with wheels wouldn't work. Maybe I could put some thick plywood down? Not sure I have the strength to remove and reinstall all those hubs, I nearly broke my back doing only one a few years ago. Thanks

How did you get the truck up on concrete blocks?

Yes, I torqued it to 60 lbs. The 5070 does look like rubber, but it also doesn't look like the right shape. To me it looks too tall and narrow. :sad:

So does anybody know where I can get the rubber oil filter gaskets?

Of course, it was spotless. I don't see what the point would be to reinstall the same type of gasket that's currently leaking.
