    Air cleaner housing

    If you don't find one soon let me know. I'll give you mine when I put the turbo on. It may be awhile though.

    Coolant weeping out of passenger side head area

    Cracks between the valves or hairline cracks in the precups is normal on these and does not necessarily mean the head is bad. Make sure you use ARP studs. Don't screw around with TTY bolts. Trust me I have done many 6.xxx HG jobs...They are worth the money. The head pictured I put back on and it...

    Park M1009 faced uphill= hard/No start

    Drainback. A few possibilties. The return Check vale is possible. Also check around the throttle shaft on the IP for wetness. Very common. Also the mech lP. I'd toss the mech Lp anyway but that's me..You ncould put a check valve inline to the IP. The FFM housing suck too as was said . Also make...

    Think my Injector Pump is shot

    Put a Fuel pressure gauge on the fuel line going to the IP. Make sure you have good fuel pressure under load. The factory Mech LP's leave alot to be desired IMHO. Sounds more like a weak LP. When a DB2 takes a dump it "usually" runs rough and smokes alot.

    Electric fuel pump recommendation

    AFAIK the Walbro FRB5 is discontinued and replaced by a newer model ...I think anyway. For a CUCV A factory lift pump from a 1993 Chevy K3500 6.5TD is the best LP to use as it is designed to work with a DB2. If you put a LP on with to much pressure it could screw with the cold advance. I...

    WTK: How to prep for paint on a truck that has a rough heavy duty surface finish

    You could have it sandblasted. Whatever you do I would not grind it without the proper PPE. The CARC may cause Death...:D

    Coolant weeping out of passenger side head area

    Antifreeze tastes sweet. it's good for poisoning mice... If it is HG's use ARP studs. Summitracing sells them. I agree though looks like fuel to me. Is your coolant level low ?

    Cleaning up my 1008

    Well now I know why the color is off. I goofed. I ordered Olive Drab not 383 Green. Oh well. It looks fine and I am not repainting it now. The bad news is I am running short on Paint and Mil Spray is no longer offering it for sale in anything but bug bombs cause they had too many complaints...

    Heater core sources?

    I wen through this last year. The alum ones are junk. I used to have awesome heat until I put that POS in. I took my old one to a rad shop and had it recored and put ti back in. That is the only way. They are no longer available in copper. Recore your old one. BTW my heat works awesome again.

    Cleaning up my 1008

    So my M1008 took a pretty serious beating last winter. Crap on the roads around here wreck everything. Oddly enough the body seems to have fended off the stuff. I really think the CARC Paint under the white paint saved the truck from salt. The body is very clean for a 25 yr old truck. The frame...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    I painted today as well... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/paint-bodywork/76133-anybody-use-milspray-restoration-paint.html#post957189

    Anybody use Milspray restoration paint ?

    Yep. No overspray either. Not all sticky like Enamel but the color was off from the original. More yellowy IMHO. Thing I noticed is it "seems" to lay out well like lacquer but I laid it on too heavy at first and got some "flow indicators".

    Death Wobble and future plans

    ORU sells the crossover kit. You will need a 2wd steering box. I don't personally think it's necessary for 6 inch lifts and under.

    No start 86 CUCV HELP!

    The 93 6.5TD was equipped with a DB2 so you know this LP was meant to work with it.
