Hey Man, Back trace the wire. I heard someone say that wire has a fuse. I don't know which fuse, but it is good to hear that you have the truck running again. Good Luck and Hapy Holidays.

May I add that at the front of the oil pan where the gasket must curve to meet the front timing cover, at that area in the bend put a bead of the right stuff just a small bead that runs side to side with the bend. Also be careful when installing the bolts in the front timing cover. Only tighten...

Contact these guys. They would know. Again, installing an unknown injection pump could be double work. Side by side they look the same, but it may be wise to ask a professional and get the pump tested before you go thru the trouble of installing it. I can't imagine taking a truck down to the...

DB2 Fuel Injection Pump for 6.2L 6.5L 6.9L 7.3L 5.7L – Diesel Care & Performance I just sent an old injection pump back for rebuilding off of one of the snowplow trucks. I have been crossing my fingers with doing it but with 3 hard starts and a few shutdowns and hard to start warm the time has...

The original starters on the CUCV were a direct drive Delco Remy with a closed nose. I heard it called a Mudder nose starter in the past. It was a very strong nose, and I can assume it was designed to keep mud out. Not sure how that would work. I had a few of the Mudder nose starter packed full...

Couple things I want to ask. Is the starter tight? Is the support bracket in place and tight. Does the starter nose say No Shim and what year is the engine?

My preferred go to batteries in the past were the A C Delco 1111 just like came from the factory. But since our local Chevrolet dealer closed down about 10 years ago, I have been buying Deka group 31. I had made a great deal on some deep cycle glass mat batteries a few years back and used all of...

So, I understand this. You are not going to change the main front crank seal, timing cover gaskets, or the water pump? Just asking? It is posted here for conversation and recommendations. That is what hobbyist do. Debate and share information. Happy Holidays and Good Luck..

Very nice benches you made in the back. And I still really like the look of a CUCV with the trim and bumpers in plain flat green. The tires look great also. It has a better life then it had here. Happy Holidays Doug.

Can you pinpoint the part with a picture in a diagram? I can't picture what you are talking about.

Dougco1, that is an excellent observation. I used to like that sound when I was at the intersection a 1/4 mile from my house and pulled out in the winter. It sounded like the engine was coming out from under the hood with the timing advanced. I have since been less amused with the sound and am...

Sure, it is just an exit vent for the air to exit the tank during refueling. Just use emission hose. I am pretty sure it is 5/8". Good Luck and Happy Holidays.

All I hear is a blower motor squealing and possibly some fan belts. I also know that delivery nozzles can stick on occasion and get a tapping sound. Sounds like a dry nozzle after you put the phone on the floor. Good Luck.

You are all good. The biggest PITA is keeping the trans cooler lines tucked to the side. Easy done with a zip tie or bungee. Good Luck. You can do this. I use the gasket and Permatex the Right Stuff. Done hundreds of engines and never had issues.

Turbo 400 TH400 Transmission 4x4 Performance Super Duty 4WD, turbo 400 monster transmission, Racing Th400, Race Th400, Racing Turbo 400 You could have the original transmission overhauled for 1/2 the price. Happy Holidays. That would be a good price if that was in the truck and out with labor...

Turn down for WHAT?

The CUCV's came from new with 3/16" spade terminals. And if I encounter a loose ill-fitting spade connection I just twist and tweak the male connection on the glow plug and that corrects the issue. I still have the 36-year-old stock terminals on my 1987 M1028. And imagine that. I have the A C...

Yesterday I drove the M1028 325 miles. I got home at about 730PM and my Wife says, "how was the trip in the truck."? She laughed she could see the answer on my face. I said it didn't miss a beat. It beat me all the way up and all the way back. I hauled a load of slab wood up to the mountains and...

I have a replacement oil pan if the need arises. I would fix the one you have. Good Luck. Happy Holidays.

That needs to be removed and hammered out with a block of wood. That is not very nice. Happy Holidays.
