Doug, how did you know?

I worked on a snowplow and converting my Kubota to LED lighting and my son worked on his project. After all this cutting and removal of body parts the car still runs and drives. Amazing it has no Check Engine lights and it is a bit confused about the doors being open. It is a shame for this...

I also wanted to mention that the LED trailer lights were not compatible to the CUCV. I had to change the flasher to a Grote 44891 2 prong LED flasher. I think the issue was with just changing the rear bulbs in the CUCV but just to be safe I changed the flasher. The LED flasher has a ground wire...

If you didn't already do this. Take the left inner fender apron out and it makes the world of rag joints a better place. And if the inner apron is rusty, it can now be changed. Good Luck.

Is that all you need is the injection pump changed? M1010 scares me when it comes to electrical problems. I bought and stripped 5 M1010's because of electrical issues.

When I see your craftsmanship, I know you have a valuable opinion and are a source for valuable information. Thank you.

I never seen this before. You are all Welcome. Many of you have helped me also. Thank you.

You are the best. I trust your knowledge and value your opinions. Good Deal.

There are some main components of the CUCV that are new for 1984 on all GM C and K series trucks. The steering column smart stalk is new for 1984. 1983 models had the dimmer switch on the floor and the wiper switch was dash mounted. There were some other new features for the 1984 model year C...

What you are showing on the Qtips is normal crud for the condition of the fuel and fuel tank. I think the aftermarket sending unit was made of cheap steel and rusted aggressively from the normal condensation that is in the fuel tank under normal conditions. the original one was an alloy not as...

The tank looked good to me. That was an aftermarket sending unit. I agree that you have a moisture issue in the tank, but I don't think the tank is scrap. That opening on top is big enough to get that tank clean and then evaluate from that point whether a new one is needed. Good Luck.

I just used LED clearance lamps on my B/O lamps. I never hope to use them anyway and they really look nice. In the rear I sed a set of LED RED lamps in the hinge holes of my M1009 Mule. I added a set of LED license plate lamps on the rear that were lit when the backup lamps were on. I had...

Heat the nuts and keep in mind the wires are attached and that strap is double nutted. Good Luck. Get a good deep 6-point socket that the hex drive runs the entire depth of the socket.

It is 11/16" they are 7/16" coarse thread. 7/16" 14.

Rochester NY. Less than 300 miles. I have been there a few times. On a bad day a 5-hour trip. I had a member here drive from Florida for an M1009 rear axle. They used to be everywhere now they must be getting hard to find. 35-year-old vehicle parts get less and less with each passing day. I hope...

Are the batteries load tested and fully charged? Have the resistors on the firewall been bypassed? I always get a belt the fits about tight with the alternators fully retracted and tighten from there. I drive to the local parts store and walk in and out till I find one that fits nice and tight...

105L Rugged Case - ROAM Adventure Co. This is the console I would use. Expensive but rugged and worth it.

My Son picked up a 2011 CVPI and is in the process of removing the entire body from the frame. I was there to offer technical support. And the use of my garage in the barn. I have 4 wall outlets in my barn at this time. More coming. The LED lights are all wired in conduit to code. I have cut...

To ease strain on the starter when I replace an engine and want to prime the fuel system, I remove the glow plugs. It is 10 X faster and makes everything spin much faster. Good Luck. Great time to get a visual on the glow plugs and you can bench test them. Or not. Just sharing.
