    CUCV antenna brackets, legal issue?

    I still need to double check with my contacts before I install them on mine, but if I remember correctly from DOT codes for Calli, as long as it is an OEM feature of the vehicle it is legal. Orange PD doesn't have an issue with the other 2 CUCVs in Orange with antenna mounts. Should be ok.

    M1009 - Hard starting when Cold

    I'm going to get the plugs installed today. I picked up a set of AC Delco 60Gs, even the NAPA people recommended it too. Picked up a package of those connectors too. I didn't have a tool that could reach the rear 2 GPs on either side, but I tested the other 6. All of them came in and out no...

    M1009 - Hard starting when Cold

    Up until this morning once the truck started it ran no problem. White smoke and all while trying to start it (I know, I was flooding it). A new Fuel Filter went in 8 days ago. I'm going to get the GPs swapped out tomorrow and I pray that fixes it and that there are no swelled plugs.

    Would NAPA carry the new wire connectors as well? I don't want to grind them down, risk my warranty incase I get DOA again. The truck just plain would not start this morning. Gonna have to hump it to Napa and back.

    M1009 - Hard starting when Cold

    I was a little confused by how the TM explained how to test my glowplugs; but if I did it right then they are confirmed dead. I'm going to Napa tomorrow to get a new set. Anyone have a recommendation on brand? -Bosch -Echlin Fuel System -Autolite Spark Plugs -Delphi Engine Management...

    M1009 - Hard starting when Cold

    Would a gradual increase of the difficulty to start up be possible from the controller card? Do they slowly go bad or just fry one day? And the steady decline could prove that my plugs were slowly going out?

    M1009 - Hard starting when Cold

    Hey all, I've been having some hard-starting on a cold start in the morning. It got progressively harder over the past 2 weeks, its now to the point where I have to crank for a good 30-40 seconds to get her to start. She cranks very well, the starter is getting enough power. The batteries are...

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

    It didn't work, still a hard start. But for some reason no white smoke this time.... more tinkering to be done tonight. Going to start testing glowplugs to see if its them.

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

    Replaced Fuel Filter, topped off fluids, basics like that. Been having hard starting issues, did my tracking and I believe I narrowed it down to the Glowplug relay, so I swapped it out with the nice pricey Napa one. Real test tomorrow morning to see if it works.

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

    I got a new wing wing lock kit to repair my broken driver side one. The new roll pin that provided was oversized and I tapped a little too hard and shattered the window. Went and picked up a new tinted one from my local shop and got it installed. The OEM black rubber coated handle was scratched...

    Dim Dash Lighting

    More or less a general car term rather than military. Earlier in the thread when we got talking about LEDs cluster lights, specifically RED LEDs there is something to consider first. The color combinations may not mix right. Your OEM gauges are black background with white text. When you apply...

    Wait to drive - how long ?

    This is pretty much what I do, when I have time I wait for the high idle to kick off. Typically takes 3-6 minutes from a cold start.

    M1009 Sighting, Orange California Who are you!?

    I ended up seeing the truck go by my work right as I was leaving, followed him on my route up the freeway but he went too far. The guy looked like an old guy in his late 50's. So I don't think I'll see him on here.
