    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    If you look in this thread starting around post #104 you'll see where I fought this same problem and asked for help.

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    I almost gave up replacing the hose, but eventually was able to get it done by reaching in from behind. I can't remember all the details now, but it is possible without tearing everything apart. It may depend how big a guy you are and how flexible. ;)

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    It's been a while, but I think it's just the stock mount plus a piece of flat plate aluminum. Mount the plate to the original bracket and the new filter mount to the plate.

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Either McMaster.com or at Ace Hardware. I think I got parts from both places. It's been a while so I can't remember exactly.

    Temperature idiot light

    Thanks. I guess the guy in the other thread wanted to keep his idiot light or something. A gauge will be the easiest way to debug this.

    Temperature idiot light

    Beats me. I hope it's low since it kept coming on. Or maybe the light is just flaking out. The engine bay didn't seem especially hot when I opened it up. Seems to be running okay. Is it a different sender than the GP controller uses? I ask because I saw a thread somewhere about where to...

    Temperature idiot light

    I took a long trip in the M1008 today and ran into a situation where the temp idiot light kept coming on. I could pull over, open the hood and wait five minutes and it would go away for a while. I was cruising about 55, but not doing any major hills or anything. I had a few axles in the bed...

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Mine had two, the other one being the bleeder.

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Some Summit EFI hose I had laying around. Overkill for the application, but I already had it.

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Well, here's my new setup. Still haven't gotten it to start though, ran down the batteries filling up the filter since I don't have any diesel laying around. I don't foresee any problems outside of possibly chasing down a leak from the fittings. This is a Wix 33005 filter/water separator on a...

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Yup, my arm could fit in there as long as I laid almost completely prone across the engine bay to get my elbow far enough back. Still a PITA to tighten the new hose clamp with only one hand. Not sure how a big guy would accomplish this. Either way, job done. :beer:

    Fuel filter electrical connections

    Thanks. I will be going to a spin on, so all these connectors will be hanging free.

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    I'm having a hard time picturing this. How does the new hose get past the old hose?

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Sometimes they come through. How about the 1/4" though? By the way, anyone know how a person would go about replacing the 1/4" hose from the filter to the injector pump (I think that's what it is). The connection is totally buried under the intake. I can see it with a flashlight, but have no...

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Getting from 1/2" NPT to 1/4" or 3/8" barb is tough. Any suggestions where to buy? I found adapters at McMaster, but I have to buy a box of 5...

    Fuel filter electrical connections

    Can anyone help me identify the three connectors? I'm assuming one is heat, one is water in fuel... I'm not really seeing what I expected as far as a problematic connection with a potentially leaky o-ring. Where is that located? Thanks! By the way: No way to embed images?

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    How about this for the base: Wix 24770 & Napa 4770 Base: FleetFilter Secure Online Store and this for filter: Wix 33005 & Napa 3005 Fuel Filter Dual out makes for an easy way to make a bleeder. Seem okay?

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Great thread! I wish everyone was converging on one solution so I'd know what to buy. I like the simplicity of the last two NAPA setups people posted, but the lack of bleeding capability bothers me. My box filter is having problems and the easy bleeding is what keeps me going. If I'm in a...

    Rear axle oil seal

    FYI, O'Reilly has them. They call them axle flange gaskets. $1.99 each.
