    Engine hot or not?

    Yeah cold. If it's in an awkward place, you can remove the rubber flap on the bottom of the inner fender. So you can get at it from under the wheel well.

    Cummins 2.8 Repower ??

    At the cost $$$$ & hassle of messing with the computer crap + low HP numbers. It would be cheaper & easier to do a 12valve swap and be done with it. These little 2.8's are marketed for the bling Jeep crowd with their small engine compartments. Full size trucks like ours don't have that problem...

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

    Agreed I have both my optima yellow tops mounted on the back tray as well. I welded my own top tray and incorporated the fender braces into it. I've got about 40,000 miles on it sense and no issues......

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    I think at the end of the day the HMWWV cross over is the best solution. Having a boss for your temp gauge just behind the thermostat is worth it alone. And now it just makes it easier to install this kit, and have the boss for your glow plug sensor. I'm the worst when it comes to wiring and it...

    M1010 Radio ideas

    The sky's the limit, These trucks aren't 63' split window corvettes, you can modify them as you see fit. I myself haven't installed one as of yet. But I'm a fan of the headliner mounted radio & speaker set ups....

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    BTW, make sure to use permatex thermostat housing sealant on everything. I guess the new "Mix with anything" coolant eats normal gasket sealer.

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    Now the glow plug system works just as it did before. I drove the truck again today and I still can't get over how much better it runs!:driver: We all know there's few mods you can do to a vehicle that you can ACUALLY tell the difference. This is one of those few. I'm very pleased!

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    Well what you could do is use the thermostat spacer with 2 ports, and just run longer hoses strait into that with no "Y" fitting. Then some sort of (adapter) or ("T") off the original sensor block off plate so you can retain the sensor near it's original spot.

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    I think 2" more on the passenger side hose would be fine. Also I think running it under the intake would help the angle of the Y fitting relative to the edge of the air filter housing. When I set mine up I left everything loose and let it find the path of least resistance. As for the wiring I...

    Okay what if you routed it under the intake manifold?

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    I think if you clock the "Y" fitting to the right side of the throttle cable bracket like I did. It will give you a little more room around the filter housing.

    There's a HMWWV crossover on Ebay for around $60.00 right now.

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    *REVIEW* I'd like to start buy saying, I'm VERY pleased with this kit! I got a chance to drive the truck on some errands today. It runs MUCH smoother & quieter then before. There used to be valve chatter when at speed that I just chalked up to it being just diesel engine noise, But it's gone...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    Yes I thought of that this morning as I was waking up LOL! So I tried it out and it worked! I had an open boss on the passenger side of the HMWWV crossover not being used. All I had to do was relocate the sensor & its adaptor to the boss and lengthen the pigtail about 24"

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    Should I run a jumper wire in the plug of the sensor? The glow plugs are running every time I start the truck now, and the "wait" light stays on a long time.

    Easter find M1008 2015

    Yeah those rims look like they should come with a free hair bun:roll:

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    Okay I got my 90 degree fitting today & installed the kit. For the CUCV I needed to disconnect the batteries because one of the passenger side bolts has 3 ground wires attached to it. Also I now have this sensor which seems to have something to do with the glow plug system? As performance, it...
