    fuel bleeding problem

    Gravity feed the fuel pump to see if it is working properly. If it is, you should be able to bleed the air at the fuel filter and the truck should run. This means you have no fuel getting to the lift pump. If you can not get fuel out of the filter, your lift pump is bad. You may have more...

    Quick question about wait light

    Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately all of the GP cards with the additional heat option have been sold. It was a limited production run and most likely will not be offered again. Karl

    Stumbling and stalling out CUCV

    I had a M1009 that had a similar issue. I finally found the drain plug on the bottom of the fuel filter base was not completely tight. After tightening it the stalling issue never happened again.

    cucv 12 volt connection where?

    You may want to consider this modification to the firewall mounted 24 volt bus bar to get a good 12 volt connection point. It's not hard to do and is reversible. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?95803-M1009-Rear-power-24v-to-12v-modification&highlight=radio If properly done, this...

    Quick question about wait light

    The wait light should always have +12 volts on it from the fuse box, the ground for the light comes from the GP controller to turn the light on and off. Check the dark Blue wire that comes out of the GP card connector to see if it has rubbed thru anywhere and is now connecting to ground. If...

    A muddy resistor bypass - overkill is a GOOD thing!

    Minor correction, it is 100 amps that 8 AC60's draw at 11.3 VDC. We use these 100 and 150 amp breakers in vehicle radio installations. http://www.delcity.net/store/Hi!Amp-Surface-Mount-!-%3Cbr%3EManual-Reset-(Switchable)/p_193073

    Carmine Red

    From what I have found, Carmine is a bright red. I have painted all of the interior burgundy parts in three CUCV's with this color and it works very well. This is very close to the OEM color. http://www.eastwood.com/burgundy-interior-paint-aerosol-12-oz-net.html One of the dash pads was...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    A good set of tire chains is hard to beat. There are all different types for various conditions. Mud, Ice Snow etc. Driving skill and knowing your limitations are critical in conditions like this. I think you made a wise choice and turning around when you did. Karl
