I reinstalled the 4WD shifter. I used Stainless steel bolts because I have a lot of them. And you will never see them anyway. I looked underside and hooked up the linkage to the transfer case. I noticed that the speedometer cable just swings in the breeze, and I added a rubber coated P clip...

I managed to get the right rear mount in place. This is the right rear. The left mid cargo area without the mount. Now with the mount and bushing in place. Both cab mounts. Like I said oil and grease and run the bolt in and out a few times. Get it so you could install it with fingers. Avoid...

I heard a green grasshopper has a green Hiney hole. I never looked. I used Energy suspension motor mount inserts on every build. For someone to say these CUCV rattle boxes have more vibration is Ludacris. The only time I felt no vibrations on a CUCV was when it was parked and not running. My...

I also used a long Snap-On pry bar to adjust and get the body centered on the mounts. I used a ratchet strap on the rear frame to hold the body over while I replaced the right rear mount. That mount took me 2 hours to get in but now I am a pro at it. Live and learn. No cursing took place only...

I am going to complete my job that I started last year. I started at the right front cab mount. My advice is to remove the old bolts and clean the threads very well in the cab. Use a tap or a new bolt and grease and oil. Run it in and out of the captured can nut till you can thread it with your...

OK. I will reship. No worries. It is an easy come easy go part. Besides I will get it shipped out next week. I received a fuel pump for a John Deere tractor. Not in my name but my address. I looked on Facebook and found a few people within the local area with that name. No report back. A few...

I was not talking body off restoration. I was talking getting the body up high enough to gain access to the current rear body mounts. Depending on rusted fasteners that can be a real chore. I use winches on the ceiling and bottle jacks to lift and shift the body around. A ratchet strap helps a...

You may as well make a gantry and lift the body off the frame.

I use seatbelts. They are everywhere and last longer than any other material I ever used. Seatbelts are good for many things besides holding your arse in the seat. I have some I have hooks sewn into and have used to pull engines on smaller vehicles.

I don't think it needs re-cored. I think it needs repaired but if a good repair shop was to remove the tanks and clean the core, they would be able to repair that radiator. Good Luck. I bought that at Auto Zone. It was a lifetime warranted radiator.

Go to the hardware store and get a brass fitting that that sensor fits into. I had to adapt that coolant sensor on a few radiators already. But like I said. It never ends. Stay Cool.

Out for more Fun in the Sun. I have big plans today. Hopefully they come together. Take Care and stay hydrated. I hope to have progress to report. I mean I could be hand sanding a lot of small parts. Could be. More later.

Never done it. Glad I never did. May I recommend if this is happening you have other issues. Hard starting vehicle and low amperage batteries. That is the only time it ever happened to any CUCV I know. And I have seen Fords and other vehicles with a HD solenoid relay do the same thing. Ever see...

Did you find the delivered package?

It just never ends. I am thinking about how you will mount that threaded low coolant sensor into a barbed pipe nipple. I suggest you cut the threaded pipe connection and place it in a 5/8" hose just long enough to connect the hose to the barbed connection and the treaded connection together. You...

I might know a guy that has a few of these. Try Hillbilly Wizard and then I can look. I know I have them. I am slow and unresponsive at times, but eventually I get it done. Have a Great Weekend.

Check out this guy in apartment 201. He may have your bolts.

Surplus 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe K1500 4x4 SUV in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, United States (GovPlanet Item #7161409) I am guessing this will sell for less than the M1009. If it does it is the better buy. It runs and drives. That is always a +. Let's watch see if it brings $2500. It would look good...

This is vehicle related and involves my job. At work someone entered the property overnight and removed exhaust components with a Sawzall. These were geniuses. They had access to over 500 gasoline truck chassis and made way with the first 18 trucks closest to the rear railroad gate. I went to...

I will elaborate later. I am tired and going to shower and rest. I start work at 0500.
