Rather than block up the "CUCV Videos" thread, I'll ask here. Any updates? Stuff you've replaced? Things you've checked/found, etc?

Just an FYI, since I got a couple messages asking how to do it. To embed the youtube video in you surround the youtube HTML address with: [ media] on the front and [ /media] on the end.

Thanks. I can't take too much credit for it being so nice. The P.O. kept it in a climate controlled garage, repainted it and did a lot of the restoration stuff. And it didn't get the chance to get beat to death by the Georgia forestry dept after the military released it, since it had a bad IP...

Bumping this again for a video :wink:

I'm with you. Wrecked the **** out of the bumper and grill guard. :-? Also a good way to put a hole in your oil pan or bash it up into the rotating assembly, rip the diff cover off or smash that into the differential. Anyways here's cold start and after the cold start vids of mine.

So he used the 24 volt feed from the glow plug relay with a push button to crank the starter? Well you have fallen victim to the very common, "P.O. rewiring muck-ups." Hopefully he left all the stock wires intact, so you can just re-hook everything up.

I am just about at wits end. I got some rubber hose and connectors, and got it to wrap around to the driver side instead of the steel tube...but the hose is too big and the air-cleaner wont fit. :x aua Anyone know what any other options are? Can I just use one of the two tubes connecting to...

^^ Then again...that guy doesn't know anything about the doghead mod ;-) Are you trying to return the ignition system to stock, or just putting in a new starter relay? The doghead relay is a great mod to do. But you should check out the TM's for wiring diagrams, trace the wires on your truck...

NO on #2 (unless you buy 24v GP's). You will fry the GP's quickly. That resistor is there to drop the voltage down to 12v. I cut the wire from the resistor, and put a new ring terminal on it, connected that wire to the 12v bus, and then removed the entire resistor and the wire going to it...

I'd do that, but they aren't 90° bends. They are very narrow. V-shaped, like a 45° angle. If they weren't so narrow, getting some hoses from napa would be a lot easier. But I'm thinking with the flex tubing I can just replace all the metal tubing and then get some 90° rubber elbows to connect...

Ditto. That looks sweet. If you don't mind me asking how much does one of those run you?

Yeah, I'm not sure if I want to order them without seeing them. I'm not spending $36 +shipping on some 90° hose. I had seen some silicone elbows online, but all the websites I saw were vague and didn't list many sizes or angles. I wish I knew someone who could custom bend small tubing...make...

Thanks. I'm not sure why I didn't google it. :cookoo: One more question. Is the CUCV CDR set up different than the civilian one? In all the pictures on that link it looks like there is only one elbow. And it just looks like it's a 90° angle.

I need both of the little rubber elbow hoses that connect the CDR tubes to the manifold. The ones that are at a ridiculous 45° angle. Chevy discontinued it (Chevy part# 14050445). And NAPA or Carquest doesn't have anything that will work. Anyone have any idea where I can get them? Or another...

Hazards turn on with the little switch under the steering wheel on the right side. Push it in to turn them on, pull it out to disengage. Turn signal flashing problems are so incredibly common in all CUCVs. I currently have to track down an intermittent problem in mine. First thing I'd do in...

Depending how you do it... I think you could make it look pretty original OD. Triangulate the front of the frame and put a pintle ring on. Although I suppose, in that case... you could just buy a M101/105 type of trailer and remove the bed and plop your contact box on it.

:funny: You should've seen my previous avatar. It was some jerry-rigged 3rd world M274 Mule-looking, truck/tractor/powered wagon vehicle.

Find a 1 ton K30 frame, cut it in half and make some welds. You know kinda like those pickup beds turned trailers... Thats what the box was on in the first place. Plus it already has a place for leaf springs (or might have springs and an axle on it already).

I might have some extra B/O lights. I'll check tomorrow.

Yeah those tires look smaller than normal. Nice lookin truck though!![thumbzup]
