    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Make sure to use a torque wrench to install the unit to the extension housing as per the instructions. The studs are a fine thread into cast aluminum and easily stripped out. Also..(unless they updated the instructions) they will call for a discontinued GM gear oil. The new oil you'll need is...

    LED Head light upgrade. ....

    HA! actually I think we were posting at the same time, so I didn't even have a chance to read your post when I wrote that LOL! That being said I would bet that the LED bulbs inside the "American made" lenses are still China imports. I have a strange little side hobby of collecting & restoring...

    LED Head light upgrade. ....

    Just my 2cents. (#1) Nearly all LED lights are maid in China. (#2) I was fine with the brightness of the stock glass incandescent bulbs. (#3) the ones I bought were only $30.00 more then stock ones. (#4) these are DOT legal as advertised & printed on the front of them. (#5) The glass bulbs for...

    Recommended dose of Diesel Kleen to fuel tank for 6.2

    Yes thank you [thumbzup] I currently have a list of leaky parts that surpass my funds & time to replace them. But I promise I'll do my best LOL!

    Recommended dose of Diesel Kleen to fuel tank for 6.2

    No I didn't see that. I only just recently started using MM in place of 2cycle oil. I've bin nursing a leaky injection pump throttle shaft. The 2cycle oil would slow the leak, MM stopped it:shrugs: Perhaps I will use a mix of the two?

    Recommended dose of Diesel Kleen to fuel tank for 6.2

    Marvel mystery oil for me.[thumbzup] I quart per every other tank. Works really good on these old dry rotted trucks2cents

    No start after parking on incline... ideas.

    Well you clearly have an air leak in the fuel system, and a spin on fuel filter is a wise choice. But I'd confirm where the leak is first before you start randomly buying parts. the best way, is to work backwards form the injection pump. Start by (temporarily) replacing the rubber return line...

    Your right I didn't see it was only one.

    LED Head light upgrade. ....

    Yeah I'm aware of the law. But my common sense realized I couldn't hear anything over the cab noise in my non carpeted or insulated M1028 at 70-80MPH anyway. So might as well save my hearing :shrugs:. Besides not wearing headphones would make me the only one in ATL LOL!

    LED Head light upgrade. ....

    Well funny / not so funny story about that. These are 85W, 3000LM low beam, 5500LM high beam $87.99 shipped. And just after I ordered them I found another set 105W, 4500LM low beam, 6500LM high beam $52.19. which is a little less then a pair of stock glass bulbs from Advanced!:doh:

    LED Head light upgrade. ....

    I looked it up I guess there's a gizmo called a ferrite coil you clip over the leads to the LED's that is supposed to stop it. I don't have a radio in my truck so I couldn't tell you if these would be a problem or not? I do listen to Pandora on my cell phone with earplug head phones with no problem.

    LED Head light upgrade. ....

    I guess the low beams seem to spread about 4 lanes wide, and out about 75 yards out. The high beams are more like a spot light, I'd guess another 25-30 yards out. Anything with reflective tape on it looks like neon lights, street signs, city, and police vehicles.

    LED Head light upgrade. ....

    Agreed, but it's original, and it's grown on me.

    No I didn't think it fit the theme of a camouflage truck LOL!

    LED Head light upgrade. ....

    Well I guess they don't make them like they used to? I kept burning out or cracking the old style glass headlight bulbs. So I reluctantly ordered this set of LED headlights on Ebay. And I'll have to admit they are an amazing improvement!

    M1009 Window Defogging

    I haven't used it in years, but I seem to remember that rain-X stuff working pretty good? You can also wax the outside of the widows as well.

    optimizer long block - hummer 24V or cucv 24v

    Yeah the pushrods need to go back at least in the proper orientation as far as top & bottom. One end of them is heat treated. Here's a really good video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20FBN3tdJUg
