Yes any air leaks and it will drop the fuel. The fuel system must be tight. How did the feed line install go for you?

I have new front and rear M1009 axles in crates. New from GM. Not looking to give them away but they are for sale. pick up or Delivery is an option.

Sad news and one I never heard of before on a CUCV. Mr Rusty has the left exhaust manifold rusted thru completely. It is the left side and I heard the muffler leaking so I didn't have anyway to plug the exhaust. That is a first for me. I am going to let the exhaust shop have the honors of...

Show us how you use that square hole when the pulley is in place.

After an 8 hour day at work I came home and wanted to lighten the CUCV work load. I choose Mr. Rusty because I knew I could get it completed and on its way. I took some pictures of the rubber hose I encapsulated the glow plugs with. I filled them with dielectric grease. It helps keep the...

My observation is they are the pieces that go on the front frame horns behind the tubes and bumper brackets. Not sure where engine comes into place. But CUCV's have a small double section in the front frame horns. That will be my guess from looking. I did not reference the TM's. I may be the...

I don't think he is talking about the M1028 tiedowns. He is referring to the 8 rings on the floor of the M1008 and M1008A1.

I can tell you this. All of them go into the crossmembers. There are only 2 crossmembers (minus the front one) on the aft axle bed floor and 2 on the fore axle bed floor. (minus the rear one) From there you need the special parts to attach them as they were from the factory. And it you have the...

Look at another truck and measure them. I have the tiedowns and reinforcements. The Eye nuts are readily available. Nothing special about any of the hardware but the reinforcements and they aren't real special.

I have a few of the adapters also if you have no luck. The cast steel for the TH400 to the NP208. Just letting you and the world know. Good Luck.

Finally after 6 weeks I have received the rebuilt injection pump back. And it has the freshness date on the tag and it is the same pump I sent in for rebuilding. I heard controversy about the original pump not being returned. I punched a E in the flange and sent it off. The E is still in the...

I have the scaffold ratchet strapped to the roof rafters and the top of the extension ladder 1/2 has a roof hook. When I am up there the force was all down towards the roof. I used to use finger clamp vise grips and step on 1 pair and hang from the other pair. This is a huge improvement in...

I have had a very hot and busy summer here at the barn. I started this job in the beginning of May 2020. Today after work I plan on completing the last 30" x 20' roof panel. That will get me off the roof and down on scaffold. That is a mile marker after all the work I done. Meanwhile I have been...

I have a matched set of 1 ton Chevrolet axles in Pennsylvania for that truck. 4;10 gears. I removed them from a 1986 K30 township truck. I know it is cross country but it is worth mentioning. Good Luck.

15W40 Rotella T will do it every time. I have only ever used 1 type of oil other than the Rotella. I bought a 55 gallon drum of Mystic 15 W50 super heavy duty oil and it was sealed and dirt cheap because the drum was dented severely. Don't remember the exact cost but it was less than $1. per...

This is the old dance around the real problem tradition. I am only saying this because I know that people in general like to avoid the ultimate answer and solution for monetary reasons. Been there and done that. The real issue is if you didn't replace the injection pump yourself with a known new...

I never went into much details. This is the new tag that was on the pump. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/1986-cucv-m1009-decade-after-being-wrecked.173878/page-35#lg=post-2296572&slide=3 It runs great and had lots of power. Good Luck. Seattle is a bit far for me to travel to assist. Good...

I have been using DCP https://dieselcare.store/collections/chevy-fuel-systems/products/rebuild-service-for-1983-1994-6-9l-7-3l-ford-idi-db2 Never had a problems. Right now I am waiting for one to come back. The best thing I seen recently is that they replace the metal nomenclature tag on the...

I would say injection pump issues. Get it rebuilt at a reputable shop. It costs about $500. to do in parts. Good Luck.
