At this point I think it needs to be located. Also moisture could be cracked heads or bad head gaskets. Impossible to know. But wise money would find that pin and remove the heads. There is a chain that could conceal the pin and I would not be comfortable knowing it is in that engine somewhere...

HA HA. I get it now. That is a steel stencil on the scrap pile.

Sometimes you have to take the old parts along for comparison. Computer wizards that never worked on vehicle are working at selling parts these days. Good Luck. I think you have this.

Have you checked the wheel bearings and the spindle bearings on the outer drive axles?

8 x 17 inch STORTZ & SON Ice Harvesting Axe - 92302 – Jim Bode Tools I learned something new everyday. Now I know I am going to make a wall hanger out of it.

After I finished washing the Mr. Rusty plow truck I was tired so I ventured into the barn and cleaned up. I also located a few of my tools that I was looking for. Glad I located them The old heel and palm dollies. Many guys don't know how to use these old tools and just replace a dented panel...

I was thinking it would last a few more years. Take Care and Be Safe.

After checking and topping off all the fluids I decided it was time to wrap up this project with a wash down. I sprayed it with Simple Green and scrubbed it with a white 3 M sanding pad. This is before. It sits in the woods all the time on top of the north side of the mountain. I also wanted to...

You have replaced the calipers and the caliper bushings? The brakes are still dragging? Are we working on an M1009 K5 Blazer or a K30 variant? The larger reservoir goes to the front brakes. If you are working on the truck the slides on the knuckles need to be cleaned and lubed so the calipers...

I have used parts that were made all over the world for years. Some things have not faired as well as others. I see stuff that is built and maintained in the USA and am not impressed with the longevity or fit and finish. I have been using parts from wherever I can get them. The lift pump has...

CUCVRUS Repair Projects | Page 4 | SteelSoldiers Check out the tread I posted on the correct lift pump. Make sure you have the correct one. Accept no substitutes. They will fit but they will not pump fuel. The pumping action must take place immediately upon compression of the lever. Replace the...

I use Permatex the right stuff lightly on everything. And yes I use the Rolok 2" mini disc for cleaning small areas. that cover plate will come right off. If you are not on a tight budget I would also change the fuel lift pump before installing a new injection pump. Dissect that old pump after...

Little tip that has worked for me. Use an impact if possible to break the M10 thermostat bolts loose. They have a tendency to strip out the threads due to the aluminum on steel reaction. Electrolysis I think is the correct term. But yes use a bit of never seize on the bolts when reattaching and...

Found some images on an old file. Enjoy.

I began the evening with my hammer and dolly. I found 1 small dent on the left 1/4 panel and a few on the right. No rust. I was able to dolly most of the dents as they were reachable from both sides. I have a few paint less dent remover pry bars I borrowed and they work really well in the areas...

Today after my regular job I came home to the heat and went to work on my customer vehicles. Mr. Rusty needed greased and the steering stabilizer changed. I opened the box on the new stabilizer and no attaching hardware. Fortunately I was able to glean some hardware from my scrap pile and reuse...

Good deal. I am not sure how far you want to go. But if you remove the hoses you may as well change them. Most CUCV's I se have the original hoses on them. Not expensive and once you do it you are assured to not have to do them again. But that antifreeze has expired so I would replace it with...

Take the feed line off up front at the engine fuel lift pump inlet. It will siphon out completely. Most are a 1/4" hose clamp. Use a nut driver or a small ratchet. Good Luck.

The petcock is at an awkward position. I would et a piece of 3/8" rubber hose and attach it to the petcock. Put a little grease in the end and slip it over the petcock drain pipe. That drain is on the drivers side bottom of radiator. I use a box wrench and loosen the petcock. After it is...

After you have the fuse block split you will see one leg that supplies power. It's ben a few years since I corrected one of these for this issue. I just remember that 2 fuse holders were serviced from the power that I eliminated and spliced into. Once you get the box split you will understand...
