I have never explained it before, and I will not now, here. I always floor it when I pull out and am met with the same resistance and ignorance from the same select few passengers. I simply dont care to debate it anymore. The CUCV charging system can be complicated. I just make it simple. Floor...

This is true. A bad alternator can cause the light to not illuminate. Internal issue. Going forward I am getting self exciting voltage regulators. The idiot light still works but it will eliminate the need to excite the charge circuit. On my M1028 I just floor it and it moves the needle to the...

I am back in for a short break and an update. The M1028 is loaded. It threatens rain here and a few drops fell. My CUCV and log splitter are waterproof. They are both diesels. I am just amphibious and work outside in all weather. I had a massive firewood pile in my yard that just kept getting...

Todays repair projects require a strong back and lots of positive energy. That leaves me alone outside splitting wood by myself. There will be a CUCV involved so I can load the CUCV with split wood and show you how it is done. The CUCV is a 1987 M1028 that was bought and sold twice by me. It...

Dougco1 That is a very nice video. Now that you are retired you can make more videos on other items that plaque the aging CUCV. How about one on the fuse box melting and the power steering bracket breaking. I wish the government would have demanded the CUCV be made out of Aluminum, Galvanized...

An unsafe recall at that. Still requiring more R & D. The sealed ice cube relay or a replacement stock relay is the safest replacement fool proof part for this recall if any is ever needed. With your suggested relay there is a lot of open unsealed positive studs under a completely negative...

I treat anyone well when they are paying me $125. per hour. I would have the Wife make coffee and serve it. If it were a hot afternoon I would serve ice cold drinks of your choice. I am glad you had the repair done no matter what the price. Fixed is fixed and has no price. Mark it paid and drive...

Both batteries can be new. My point is are they properly charged? Check out this chart. The battery can have 12 volts and still only be 50% charged. The cranking amps must be tested and the load tester is the only way I know to check that. New Battery's do fail. On a CUCV replace the battery's...

1.) Check the CCA of the battery's and have them properly load tested. 2.) If needed repair the hard start condition to avoid long drawn out cranking times. The vehicle should start after the wait light goes out. Extended cranking will cause problems. Weak battery's more problems. That has...

Newer vehicles have come a long way in design and rust resistance. The problem is the road chemicals they use now are always a few steps away from the vehicle manufacturers. That liquid road salt is nasty stuff. I see the heavy stainless steel is stained on the state trucks that are dumping that...

On another note I seen a Quadrasteer in a truck at the YOUPULLIT 2 weeks ago. https://www.motorbiscuit.com/gm-quadrasteer-the-great-invention-no-one-wanted/ That is a Dana 60 rear axle from a pick up. It was gone in a few days. I am not sure how that would be an advantage in a truck that wasn't...

I sure do hope that getting the transmission back in place counts as progress. I had help tonight and was able to get it back up in place and bolted to the engine block. That was the goal. I also have the fill tube installed. That is all I done tonight. My Wife ran the jack and I had a friend...

I tend to over maintain things. So if they are the original front outer axle U joints I would replace them. That will bring up another long neglected seal. The inner axle seals. After you drag the axles out the filth filled axle housing tube the inner seal will not be happy. If it isn't leaking...

Unless you are the guy that wants to extend my car warranty I did not receive an email. rengle523@comcast.net

I better look.

I found the brand new center carrier for the M1009. So we have that as an option also.
