    Replace glowplugs

    After you replace the rubber lines, bleed out the air, then drive the truck around the block to allow shmag that you knocked loose to accumulate in the old filter, then change filter and bleed out again. I made an assumption that the filter itself was leaking, a common problem aswell....it could...

    Tow bar designs

    So I went to the local tractor supply store (big R). The only things I could find for my project were a pintle 90.00, the drop pintle hitch thing 50.00, and a bolt on hoop that would need to be mounted to something flat. None of what I saw resembled stuff that I pictured from designs i've...

    Coolant leak!

    if you want to fix it youself use a wire brush on outside of rad where it's leaking and JB weld it, I do this on my mud truck because it's gotten 3 leaks from rocks getting pitched up at it, it works very well and has saved me tons of trouble with pulling the rad out, remove the shroud and fan...

    My 1009 fuse block is melting-

    Every truck I looked at when trying to buy a civy 3/4 ton play truck had wire nuts, 2-3 miles of extra wire just laying around, and some bare wires just hangin' out......these trucks probably have less problems because the wiring scares away most of the hacks that butcher up trucks in the first...

    In Need Of Measurements On 1008

    the pin (shackle) holes on my 1008 are 15/16 so take a drill bit and a cordless drill unless you get (2) 3/4 pins, (2) 7/8 pins and (2) 1" pins, that will cover all the bases and ensure an easy hook-up. Good Luck:-D

    Replace glowplugs

    rather than make a gas cap to let air in, why dont you just replace all rubber lines? There's maybe 8' if you also do the returns, and you can switch for new clamps while your at it. If there's no visible leak from the hard lines inside the frame rail than there's a 99% chance you'll fix it and...

    New batteries still wont start

    when brushes start getting mucked up in a starter a lot of juice can get wasted, if it's goin' in the garage anyway you could pull it apart and clean it real well.:-D

    Trailer Wiring adapter for CUCV...

    If you are trying to get the "T" connector to run a "FLAT 4" (3 pins + GRD) the autozone p/n is 74425 for a reese, and 41105 for hopkins (1983). Yes the 86 (wrong) has a different p/n than the 83, the parts listed will work back to atleast 78' and your local auto parts store should be able to...

    Tow bar designs

    the shackle pins on mine are 15/16+, probably because they were punched not drilled like you said. thanks for the pics, now the only thing I need to figure out is the distance between trucks that is correct, and how to design this tow bar to go up or down hill toward truck in tow while...
