After 2 hours of tedious light hammering I was able to remove the locking hub assembly from the right side axle. I will be able to reuse the hub assembly after some cleaning a bit of filing on the housing. I clamped a vise grips on the housing and tapped it back and forth to no avail. The axle...

Disconnect the fuse box at the bulkhead connection and look into cutting and replacing the burnt circuits with in line fuses. It works and beats the pants off of changing an entire wiring harness. The 30 amp light circuit/fuse can be replaced with a circuit breaker. No vehicle should blow the...

After the second incorrect fuel pump from Parts geek they opted to not ask for it back. they issued a credit and told my Wife to keep it or discard it. I guess I could make it work if I were to weld a piece on the lever that would take the free play out of it. But I am not going to risk that. I...

I do have a complete parts M1009 but the price will be the same. I have the rear harness for a pickup. At this point I think it may be wise to figure out if you need everything complete or just parts. I have a few harnesses that I use for parts and connections. Sometimes it makes more sense to...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucvrus-repair-projects.192437/page-7 Check everything fuel related at this point it sounds like it is dropping the fuel prime and dying out. check under the intake and under the fuel pump. You need to have an air tight system. It may not even be wet and it...

Someone else thought that was a good deal. I sold the harness. They have been playing with a burnt harness for the past month. I can't make these long discontinued parts. They are hard to find at this late date.

The lift pump is located on the passengers side of the engine very front part. Check this out. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucvrus-repair-projects.192437/page-8

loose battery connections can do it every other time or once a month. As long as it can arc and catch its good. No arc and its done. Start at the top and work your way back. Batteries and connections are the main supply routes for power. From that point I can't see what I am working on so it is...

Don't go hacking into the system till you figure out what the problem is. These mods are not the cure all to a minor issue like a loose or burnt connection. Stick with the plan and find the issue. The batteries and battery cables are the first place I would go and do replacement. the cables you...

Entire wiring harness removed from an M1008 $500. I was told too much. Am I out of line here? I can't warranty it but it was removed from a running rusted M1008. These parts are very hard to find.

Try CUCVRUS. I am sure he has a few.

Ok that may be but I think when I start the bolts by hand loosely the fuel pump lever depresses as I evenly tighten both bolts. I never gave it much thought as to why the bolts tighten with a bit resistance till you mention it but I knew they weren't cross threaded that is why I started them by...

I never cranked or turned an engine to get the rod up in the engine. I can't be that lucky every time. I just put chassis grease on the rod and shove it up in there. Then I put the engine cover plate on with the 2 bolts finger tight and reach up in again and assure that the rod is up in. I then...

Now after reading over the symptoms again I feel that a close examination and testing of all the fusible links under the buss bar on the passengers side is needed. Make sure one of them has not melted thru. I would really check all the connections closely and make sure you have current. A test...

After reviewing the issues you have presented I would like to take a guess of the starter being bad. And it is not a waste of time at this point. Getting the CUCV starter refreshed as a precaution is not a bad idea. Why wait for it to fail? I would simply disconnect the batteries again and crawl...

I may be wrong but when I pull that fuse it disables the glow plugs system and the wait light goes out. I will be sure to check that and verify. Like I said I had several that were hacked up from DRMO and still was able to start them with jumper wires and a jump pack hooked up. Never seen a fuse...

Save the under hood area from road wetness and dirt. Get the rubber filler panels in place. They work.

No you are correct. 31 X 10.5 x 15 are stock. I just wanted to run some brand new LT23575R15 snow tires on a set of stock civilian narrow wheels for the sake of doing it. They worked great in the mud and swampy areas. But in the rocks they were a sad disappointment. I ran most of the day on 3...

What fuse are you referring to that controls the injection pump? I want to learn. I never seen a fuse that controls the injection pump. Do tell. I would think it has a fusible link and don't know that either. I mean I started some CUCV engines that had the wiring hacked to pieces and no fuse box...

I would not be the official to certify that. Just look at the lever. And if it has any free play on depression it is the wrong one. It should have resistance immediately upon depression. That is the dead give away. Onto another issue. Have any of you done a lot of work and spent lots of money...
