By the way, window tint is in my future and may be the last touch needed to make the ac just right and I forgot to add that you may also need to get a new glove box, you have to make some substantial cuts, you remove about 1/3rd of the back to accommodate the blower motor, my hinge failed from...
I installed that kit myself. You may need more of the smallest hose, size 8 I believe. If you keep the two battery set up and use or want the ability to use 6tmf batteries, the drier has to go on the right fender and the hose is not long enough. Not a big deal as the hoses are a kit, so you...
I get the feeling a lot were left in the Middle East and I had read an article that was either in pop sci or pop mech that nasa is gobbling them up as they use them for mobile observatories, they need something free of a distributor/ coil and modern electronics to avoid interference problems and...
Hmm, interesting to see this, I changed mine a few months ago and the replacement from LMC only had 2, I assumed the 3rd was because a gasoline sending unit was used as a fix sometime back as the evidence pointed to the tank being replaced in the past. I figured for gasoline their would be a...
Cool, I just don't want to turn this into a selling thread, if you know someone looking, I am not attached to it now that I know it won't fit my truck. I wasn't looking to make any money, just thought it could be the find of the century and took a chance.
So, I frequent eBay just to see what comes up for CUCVs and I check Blazer, M1009, etc too. Often I just check out other peoples trucks and buy nothing. Under Blazer I found this odd seat and it had an NSN number and was upholstered Bronze, after many relistings and some months of being on the...
If it was me, I would contact Hillbilly Wizard and buy them used. I have a feeling they add some cooling capacity and rubber would insulate. I have never found them available new. Other option would be a custom brake line company could make them if you sent in yours.
The lines are all metal and run across the bottom of the bell housing to the driver side. I have seen civy version illustrations that show rubber hoses to the passenger side. I suspect the metal lines extra long were a sort of additional cooler and unique to the military version. It could...
15585 is what i used, I have never had a bad experience with a Gates product, but I have also never had a bad experience with Goodyear, for that reason I was very comfortable with the Gatorbacks and they seem to work as advertised to have better grip.
I also run the gator back belts suggested in the Cucv wiki, they fit perfect, about 1.5" of travel left on each adjustment. They aren't gates, but they are a premium Goodyear belt.
I would check the cover on the governor, rear passenger side toward the top. I had a leak there. Also verify it is not overfilled. I overfilled mine because my driveway has an incline and it would blow out the breather, it wasn't grossly overfilled either, a pint too much.
There is a switch on the fuel pump which actuates the modulator to shift but I don't believe it would affect fuel delivery. The engine could bob down from being in a lower gear, my guess is you have a couple issues. A clogged fuel strainer or filter and vacuum leak. I would guess that as I...
Peeweeq check where the cooling hoses connect and the filter, could be running down from there. Jack lope check it he governor cover and the cooling lines on the passenger side.
It isn't so bad with the bench as well. I am not sure yet, the SEM is expensive, getting it custom mixed in aeresol cans has set me back a couple hundred + for 6 cans and the prep and adhesion promoter. Not that any other part of this has been cheap, but seats can just be a pain to get clean...
Here is the SEM color code sheet and Dk Carmine seats, vs Dk Bronze everything else. Dk Carmine was the best match I could find in an upholster kit and I haven't made up my mind yet if I can live with the two tone or want to dye them with the SEM like I did everything else.
I had a similar low resistance issue when I got mine. It cost me a set of glow plugs. Try taking it off the firewall, rinse it in distilled water after using an old paint brush or cleaning brush to get off what you can and then let it dry, mine was caked in mud and after it was clean resistance...
