I think back at all the Chevrolet trucks, Blazers, Suburban's I seen wrecked back in the day when they were a year or 2 old. Many that were wrecked like the one you have pictured were scrapped right there. I worked at a GM dealer and they scrapped a lot of vehicles that were hit hard on frames...

You can use a 2WD frame. I have converted a few 2WD trucks to 4WD and the frames are the same. I used 3/8" and 7/16" bolts to attach all the spring hangers. That frame pictured is NOT repairable. Even if it were put back into alignment it would be very weak and have numerous stress cracks. A...

Very Nice work. Looks good.

How about an M1010 body? Cut it down and make a flatbed with hinged sides. Very strong framing. And aluminum.

Do you mean like this?

it is a 1994. It is the B7100HST. It is 4WD and if it had AG tires I would go off road more often. But I must say these little tractors are built well. Everything fits perfect and it is so simple to work on and maintain. So 26 years old in June. Thank you.

Suggestion number 1. If you are that far down remove everything from the frame and have the frame sand blasted, primed and painted. And then paint every part that you put back on the frame. Take your time and make it count. Or complete the truck and drive it thru the biggest mud hole you can...

Beats having to bench test. Unless as I mentioned the tip is not heating up and the shaft is heating up. I seen it more then once. I don't just try to work harder I try to work smarter but still looking eyeball to object is the best way. Ever wonder how they can take a picture of Mars from earth...

Today I was able to get all my lawn equipment back in the running. I had issues with belts on my Land Pride mower. It was eating belts. The OEM one lasted 20 years but I was eating thru 2 after markets a season. I bit the bullet and bought the $70. Land Pride belt. Sometimes you just spend the...

Yes when the engine shut off the pressure was forward of the clog. And at that point the obstruction if there is one would be released and re-settle somewhere else in the fuel tank. It may never happen again. But until eliminated it is a possible cause. Not saying 100% but still part of the...

I know I haven't posted any progress lately. Spring time brings many projects that need attention here at the compound. I do make slight progress on many things daily. One of my goals is to complete projects and stay on them till they are completed. The outside work is very important. I had a...

OK. But did you discover the issue. The fuel tank must be dropped to assure that the issue is resolved. Dancing around the issue will not fix it. It takes time and energy to make a definite repair so this does not happen when you are miles from home and end up stranded along the road with a huge...

CUCVRUS Repair Projects | Page 6 | SteelSoldiers Yes I would pull all 8 glow plugs and test them. The AC Delco 13 G will work with 12 volts applied to them. That is my knowledge since guys cut the wire from the 24Volt ballast and wire it to the 12 stud. But first I would get an eyeball look at...

If it were my truck and I wanted to diagnose the glow plug system. I would pull all 8 glow plugs and bench test them. You could have 1 or more that are not glowing and they can return a false signal to the glow plug controller to protect the system. I may not have my terminology correct but that...

I was always told my CUCV was SWEET. told

Clogged fuel sock. It may never happen again. But until you look and eliminate that as the issue that is where I would look. First place for fuel supply and a known problem on older vehicles. Think about this. New Chevrolet gas trucks do not have a fuel filter. Everything is filter thru the...

You are sure you have the correct lift pump? Not sure if you know but several will fit on the 6.2 but are incorrect. They are listed as correct in parts manuals but do not pump fuel correctly. Also motor mounts can sag and allow the engine to rest on the rubber feed hose on the bottom of the...

That interruption in fuel delivery may be impossible to duplicate again. That is why I suggest a look see in the fuel tank. That screen may never clog shut again. But until you eliminate that issue as the cause you may never know and it could happen again at any moment. Finding a no run issue is...

The only thing it could be is an interruption in fuel delivery. With out seeing the vehicle it will be hard to diagnose from afar. You mention it shut off. Have you ever pulled the fuel tank and checked the fuel sock filter on the end of the tank? It could be it clogged and shut off. Then after...
