Hey Guys, Been awhile. Lot going on but thought I would post some pics. Before anyone calls BS on the 30" Look at all the pics. Some were taken in the morning while it was still snowing. This was from the big storm last week. Still cleaning up. But the old M1008 pushed that stuff outta the way...
So does the CARC need any special primer or can I paint it right over scuff'd enamel ? Someone painted white enamel over the CARC paint on my CUCV so rather than strip it can I just scuff the white paint(It is automotive paint) and respray the truck with CARC ?
The white paint is in good...
I have to paint my CUCV. PO painted over th CARC with white enamel. It's not peeling or flaking. Can I just scuff the white and paint the CARC back over it ?
Hey guys. Looking for some basic info on these. I didn't see stickys in this section so if I missed them someone please point me to them.
My questions are as follows:
Do these trucks have 6.5TDs ?
Are the Waterpumps Sepr belt or V belt ?
Is the rotation of the Water Pump CW or CCW ?

Truck has the stock unmolested dual alt system
It will only charge if the engine is revved way up then it will stay excited. If the truck is shut off it will not charge until that is done. I had the alt tested and it is fine. The gen 1 light does not go on with the key. Bulb is good. I have no...
That is a circulating heater. It's what I should have done.when you put the antifreeze back in I highly recommend running it through a paint strainer. Look at all the smeg that was in it.
I just did a block heater install on mione last weekend. Not for the faint of heart. It's messy and a royal PIA getting the old freeze plug out. That said it can be done but be warned it's not that easy as just replacing and existing one. You will need drain coolant, carefully remove the freeze...
All diesels have hydroboost in this vintage. No avaible suffiecient supply of vacuum(the VP on these are a joke). If you are referring to the oil cooler lines that run across the rad they are to my knowledge a dealer only item and very expensive. They always leak at the crimps. I careful person...
