    Low Coolant Module Cards

    Here's what they look like: In their housing: Backside (you can see some of the corrosion on mine through the glare): Business side: They live up above the fuse block in the four connector block in the center of this shot to the left of the relay:

    Low Coolant Module Cards

    OK, so this is live again. Cool. I guess PM me to get on the list, and questions, comments, and concerns go here. I've been busy with work and family stuff the last few days (and personally needed to step away from this project), so I haven't made any real progress on the cards themselves...

    Low Coolant Module Cards

    Apologies to MarcusOReallyus. Without a quote and with the intervening posts I didn't realize that was not directed at the OP. I'll get a price sorted out in the short term for the prototypes. If I were to ballpark (and likely get myself in trouble when the total inevitably works out to be...

    Low Coolant Module Cards

    There is already someone making the glow plug cards, that is correct. Please read carefully before posting negatively. ****, read the title of the thread... We're talking about the low coolant module cards. So much negativity on this forum sometimes... There aren't a lot of electronics in these...

    Racor Filter Options

    Found them. I thought those were plastic. After getting the quote to have my IP rebuilt, that's looking like a tough deal to beat though...

    M1009 from Wyoming to Colorado with a bit of a detour.

    Also, today I replaced the vacuum pump, plumbed it (insofar as I could without the IP), and torqued it to 24 lb.-ft. The manual says 240 lb.-ft, which seems thoroughly unreasonable for any M10 bolt, but it also says 27 NM. Then I replaced all the remaining fuel lines (missing only the filler and...

    M1009 from Wyoming to Colorado with a bit of a detour.

    Last night I hung out with my electronics guru friend, and we took a deep look into the CUCV wiring diagrams. I was specifically interested in whether or not I could remove the diagnostic port and/or what of it could be removed without affecting functionality, and he was interested in the old...

    Low Coolant Module Cards

    Last night my friend and I were playing around with wiring schematics and poking at the electronics in my M1009. I made the only available 55-57 Karmann Ghia factory wiring diagrams, have rewired a number of cars, and really enjoy automotive electronics, and my buddy is a real life Big Bang...

    Racor Filter Options

    I've spent a good amount of time this morning researching fuel filter options. I don't like that the popular NAPA base loses many of the desirable features of the stock unit, so that's out. I don't like that the Stanadyne base is plastic, so that's out. Racor seems to be fairly popular, so I...

    M1009 from Wyoming to Colorado with a bit of a detour.

    Didn't get as much done on my scratch list today as I would have liked, but I got a little further on a project that wasn't on the list in exchange. I had intended to just get the tank out far enough to see what sizes and lengths of fuel line I needed to buy, but the filler and filler vent hoses...

    M1009 from Wyoming to Colorado with a bit of a detour.

    Here's another question: What's the story on this hole (center in the first photo, then wider out in context): There's one at each corner, and the one on the PSF has what looks to be the remnants of a wire stuck in it: Just for grins, my hands were a little dirty from dirt and rust, but...

    M1009 from Wyoming to Colorado with a bit of a detour.

    I'm being inundated with parts requests (probably should have expected that...), and I want to set expectations. I'm not going to make or take offers on anything until I have it out of the truck and ready to box up (only the blackout lights, NATO plug, grille guard, and aftermarket audio system...

    M1009 from Wyoming to Colorado with a bit of a detour.

    SRB1976, I think I know exactly where that parking lot is. It's a pretty place. Busy day today! I finally got the heater core out after researching it last night. Turns out there were some nuts hidden under some tar paper... Took the whole shebang to the radiator shop. If you're in the Denver...

    M1009 from Wyoming to Colorado with a bit of a detour.

    I just got off the phone with LMC trying to figure out if the oil cooler line they have listed for 85-91 Diesels is compatible with an 84 and HOLEE****NTNTTT!!!! I have never encountered such complete ignorance at any parts place ever! I would have been better off with a recorded computer thing...

    M1009 from Wyoming to Colorado with a bit of a detour.

    If you sent me an email, I didn't get it. I'm about. To head out there to try again at getting the heater core out (apparently there are bolts buried under some sort of coating that I missed), then I'm taking that and the rad to a proper old school radiator shop, and I'm taking the crossover...

    M1009 from Wyoming to Colorado with a bit of a detour.

    Ridgeback: You may have to wait a bit. I have some things to get done before I start cutting and drilling out spot welds. It's coming though! I PB'd the crap out of it from start to finish. I didn't do heat, but even then, I'm out of extractors and really don't feel that will be a fruitful...

    M1009 from Wyoming to Colorado with a bit of a detour.

    Well... today was not so successful. The truck has been amazing to work on with every nut and bolt coming out without much trouble. Today I was dismantling the cooling system, and it finally started to fight me. A bolt sheared in the crossover at the thermostat. I drilled it out and tried to...

    M1009 from Wyoming to Colorado with a bit of a detour.

    I've spent the past week or so working on it. Right now it's pretty much torn apart. IP, injectors, and filter base are all at the Bosch/Stanadyne service center here in town. Radiator came out today, and I'm working on getting the heater core out to get them to a radiator shop (it looks like...

    Another successful recovery

    I currently have a set of suburban seats and matching center console in mine that will be leaving soon. Not sure if that's what you're looking for though. My brush guard can come off any time. The piece at the very bottom is bent in a little, but the rest is clean and straight. There's someone...

    Another successful recovery

    What parts are you needing? I'm going to be pulling a bunch of stuff off mine in the near term. I saw that one come up for sale (and another as I recall) within 24 hours of working out the deal on mine... I had a GL feed going for months looking for one, and nothing ever came up until then...
