    Fuel Issue with M1008

    Or you just have an air leak in a line or in the fuel filter base. Maybe check this out before taking apart IP. Staying away from rust is smart if you plan to fix up or restore.

    Strange Exhaust Arrangement 003A

    I bought an 002 w ASK from GL that was set up the same way. No surprise there was some water in the cylinders. I thought maybe it had been run at some point with flex tubing.

    M1031 wheel well? Is there space? Also some general info on a M1031?

    The whole bed is a tool box, and no there is not really room for another under wheel well. The whole truck is same as 1028 except for bed and transfer case, which has a little lower low gears and ability to take PTO. Off roading ability would be affected by the extra ton or so of weight of...

    MEP-002A oil drain wrench

    I thought only subversives used pliers. Guess I am wrong as I know you are an upstanding citizen.

    Broken Pushrod

    When you put fuel pump push rod in when replacing lift pump, a gob of grease on inside end will hold rod in place when you re install plate and attach pump.

    m1009 Died suddenly

    I would just buy a rebuilt IP and send the core in and hope they credit you. Am going to be replacing one today in one of my work trucks. To do the job well takes long enough without getting into the internals of the pump. If you have a lot of time and patience, are really interested in how...

    M1008 Power Steering issue

    Did you check the belts? Are they dry, loose and worn, or were you driving though water or other fluids?

    Harmonic Balancer brand recommendation...?

    Last time I got some from Rock auto they had a selection of 3 types, including AC Delco. There was a big price difference but the AC balancer was USA made. May have been NOS though.

    6.2 hard start oh08

    Leaky sensor in fuel filter mount would be a prime suspect from what you describe as first problem. Oil leak could be separate issue. On that you might want to check EGR valve.

    My Newly Aquired CUCV

    Negative arch in front springs is normal on these. Nice work on the sheet metal.

    Civilizing the MEP-002A

    If I can't figure how to link back, maybe someone else can , (or you could have spent a short time finding the thread you mentioned) Started on 7/14/12. Maybe check it out before you start one like it so we all have it on the same thread. Isaac-1 in above post #4 started it. Save us all a...

    Whale oil

    What about if one washes up on beach or one of them tour bus things crashes and breaks open?

    Spray-on bedliner used to paint a MV?

    The Lizard skin product is water based polymer. It works pretty well as intended to deaden sound in interior, but wonder if it would hold up as well as a solvent based bedliner on exterior panels.

    Normal CUCV break in time

    These are perfectly reliable as local daily drivers and work trucks. But if you are not interested in learning basic mechanic and DC electric skill set, these trucks may not be for you. There is a lot of information on this site and downloadable TMs. It is good to remember that you are...

    MEP-003A ASK Insulation Improvement

    Am following this because the insulation in my 002 ASK unit has seen better days. Would not mind replacing it. With the ASK unit and a added muffler, this generator is quiet enough to talk near and also does not attract a lot of attention to itself. Had mice ruin a welder once. Most of the...

    Turn signals work fine; except, when engine is running?

    Sometimes a failing flasher will not work with higher voltage, eg when alt is charging. Would check that first.

    Combining Dodge Tug and M1009

    Doing a complete wire harness swap makes sense to me. It would be more work than it is worth to try to interface the two. If I was putting a 5.9 Cummins in a CUCV, I would consider a different transmission than the TH 400 in the CUCV. The power band on Cummins is strong but narrow (RPMs)...
