    Intake manifold removal, advice/help needed

    Well in that same manual there should be a diagram of the correct clip that is needed. You should be able to get the clip from any Stanadyne dealer if you cannot from a local parts store. However it is likely a common clip that the parts store should be able to get. As for what has been said...

    Anyone install A/C like this yet?

    Thanks, I was going to bump this as well since I heard that the CUCV kit is available again. I have a friend that told me they are for sale again as he had just bought one. So glad you bumped this as it is that time of the year for people to want A/C...

    ip maybe?

    Take the top cover off of your IP and inspect for small plastic fragments in the fuel. If you have them your IP is the issue, if not it is likely something else. Use this video as a guide to take the cover off, you only need to watch the first 1:30 and again from 3:35 to put the cover back on...

    My 1984 Chevrolet Suburban K20 4x4 3/4 ton CUCV clone #2 - AKA: M1007 or M1029

    Too dark for pictures but I installed the shackle mounts and did not have to cut the radiator support like the 2wd one. Everything will fit without any cutting, so that is good. I do have to drill holes for the green shackle bars mounts, but that is no big deal. I also used new grade 8 bolts...

    My 1984 Chevrolet Suburban K20 4x4 3/4 ton CUCV clone #2 - AKA: M1007 or M1029

    So I spent a few hours stripping off some of the chrome on this thing and there is allot of it. So earlier in the day I was thing about how I could paint the chrome handles and the few other items that cannot be replaced with non-chrome. As I was searching the internets I ran across a product...

    My 1984 Chevrolet Suburban K20 4x4 3/4 ton CUCV clone #2 - AKA: M1007 or M1029

    WOW, I think he said something about a guy from out of state asking about it. He also said some guy looked at it and just kicked the tires, but I guess it not running scared him. I gave him his asking price as it was a fair price and was surprises it was not sold on the first day. This is...

    My 1984 Chevrolet Suburban K20 4x4 3/4 ton CUCV clone #2 - AKA: M1007 or M1029

    You want to hear the interesting part, I got it from Pilot Point on FM455 just before the RR tracks. I had actually asked you later on the phone if you noticed that red Suburban when we took that way back from Holiday. Funny how things work out the way they do as I wondered if it was for sale...

    My 1984 Chevrolet Suburban K20 4x4 3/4 ton CUCV clone #2 - AKA: M1007 or M1029

    Thanks, I read about people doing that on other diesel forums but no one said how to actually do it. The wiring diagram will help to figure that mess out, but when I remove the dash and cluster to clean I can better trase everything.

    My 1984 Chevrolet Suburban K20 4x4 3/4 ton CUCV clone #2 - AKA: M1007 or M1029

    Side note, can anyone explain this fuse panel to me? My 1990 was nothing like this, but that did not have power windows, locks or 700R4 trans.

    My 1984 Chevrolet Suburban K20 4x4 3/4 ton CUCV clone #2 - AKA: M1007 or M1029

    Weekend #1 (May 4/5) over and spent it all working on the Suburban. I checked into the fuel system and the IP did not have any fragments in the upper "bowl" that would lead to a bad IP, it was very clean. So I do not think the IP is bad and my slow response may have been old fuel as it sat for a...

    My 1984 Chevrolet Suburban K20 4x4 3/4 ton CUCV clone #2 - AKA: M1007 or M1029

    When I got my 1990 I read that the TH400 was standard in the 3/4 ton, but you could order it with the 4-speed 700R4. My 1984 was ordered with the 4-speed and towing package from the build sheet on the fender. It has a large trans cooler and not the 4 core radiator like our CUCV have.

    My 1984 Chevrolet Suburban K20 4x4 3/4 ton CUCV clone #2 - AKA: M1007 or M1029

    Thanks, I hope this one will turn out better than my last one. Going for the same look with the dual antenna and winch in the front and will probably make a roof rack as well. Since it already has the factory one I will be able to fabricate something using those mounts on the roof line. About...

    My 1984 Chevrolet Suburban K20 4x4 3/4 ton CUCV clone #2 - AKA: M1007 or M1029

    Why do I want cargo doors? Well when I want to get into the rear cargo area I just want to open the doors and reach in easily. I do not want to roll down the window, lower the gate and crawl into the cargo area to get stuff. Plus these regulators break and I just spent 2 hours fixing it because...

    Chevy rally wheels on CUCV M1009?

    That is a good price, I saw these at a swap meet over the last weekend of April and the guy wanted $120 for the set. I did not buy them as I have spare wheels, but I really should have as you never know who else may need them. Have no way to contact the person as I did not get any info, but they...

    My 1984 Chevrolet Suburban K20 4x4 3/4 ton CUCV clone #2 - AKA: M1007 or M1029

    I figured I would start this one from the beginning and follow up each weekend on my building of my second CUCV Suburban clone. It will be in my driveway Saturday May 5th and will begin the process of cleanup and the few mechanical issues. From there it is adding the front and rear CUCV bumpers...

    My 1990 GMC Suburban CUCV clone AKA: M1007 or M1029

    I think I forgot to reply to this, sorry about that. I did sell it about a month ago, however I am in the process of getting another one. I am picking up a 1984 Chevy Suburban 6.2L w/700R4, 4X4, 3/4 ton this weekend that will be my second CUCV M1007/M1029 clone. The only drawback to this...

    How in the heck did that end up in a junk yard and who butchered that with chrome mirrors?
