Can someone tell me what was done with the wiring here? I thought everything was wired as stock (except for a Ford glow plug relay the PO put in), but looking today I noticed the glow plug resistor bank has been totally cutoff and not in use.
My batteries are still wired in series for 24v it...
So I went to grease my fittings per the lubeorder TM and I can't find any fittings on the front driveshaft as indicated on page 5 on the TM.
Where in the world is the fitting or do you just shove grease all over it? :-D
Also, on the front I found 3 out of the 4 fittings on that page. I don't...
What are the parts most likely to go out on a used cucv with 100k miles?
Already done:
Oil change
New fuel filter
Auto trans fluid changed
Undercoated everything
New glow plug relay
New Alt belts
On my to-do list:
Radiator flush
Tcase fluid change
Diff fluid change
What else may likely fail...
Planning to change the diff fluid on my new 09 as I'm not sure when the last time it was done.
Planning to use Lucas 80/90 or Mobile 1 synthetic, both of which should have the additive.
Are there gaskets for these diffs? If so, what do I need to tell autozone or napa to lookup. I wasn't sure...
Anyone know how to adjust the brake pedal?
Here's the problem... brake engages and disengages properly, but when totally disengaged the pedal itself falls about a 1/4" which is enough to setoff the brakelight. If I lift the pedal up that 1/4", the light goes out. Let go... light comes on...
Claim blasphemy, but I'm on a mission to make my cucv into a vehicle my signficant other approves of and my ears can tolerate more.
Everyone's thinking... why'd you buy a cucv then right?
Because I found one that was cheaper and in better shape than all the Civy ones I looked at. Plus I'm not...
After I crank up my 09 the Gen2 light stays on for a while, and the voltmeter is in the yellow.
After I drive for about 5 or 10 minutes I'm back in the green and the Gen2 light goes off.
Looking under the hood, my rear battery I think it is looks like it's from '04, but the front battery is...
PO said he replaced the 2 alternator belts recently (dual alts), so I'm thinking maybe they've just come loose now that they're getting broken in because there's this awful screeching whine
A few questions:
#1 How do you tighten the belt on the alts? Do you just loosen the alternator and...
So say I waned to paint an M1009 all black. What's the olive drab paint on there... it looks like a primer almost but I wasn't sure if paint would stick to it or does it all have to be stripped off?
Not wanting showroom floor paintjob but just thinking an all black scheme, even though I know...
Bought my first M1009 from a very helpful gentleman on here, but have some questions I couldn't find answers to:
1) On the dash to the left of the steering wheel and down, beneatht he blackout switches I think, is a knob you can pull, that seems to open some kind of vent beneath the dash...
