First I'd like to thank Hawker battery for this giveaway. Feel free to check out their website at www.hawkerbattery.com If you're interested in purchasing batteries, please reach out directly to Ron whom brought this opportunity to all of us at Ron.Scholtes@abdg.com To get started here's...

Glad to see you back.

I would like to nominate Microjeep's M1009 in his honor. He voted for my CUCV back in October, sadly he left us in November. I'm not sure, but I think it's probably the last MV he drove to an event.

Thank you! This certainly makes up for yesterday and the day I had for my birthday.

The poll is still open for another 20 minutes. ;)

I did once, but the rims were pretty narrow and it crowned the tires badly. I swapped over to some aluminum rims after that. 16.5" rims that is. You should NEVER put HMMWV tires on a 16" rim.

Thank you!

I better get to campaigning! Besides asking for your vote today on my birthday. What can I offer to gain more votes for a CUCV? How about a CUCV that actually works from time to time? Maybe works too hard sometimes? Or maybe the driver just drives it too hard?

Got it moved. The spring/plunger goes in the middle of the injection pump shaft. Here's a pic I stole from ebay...

And here's him outside.

You mean of my boy Jack? He's sitting on top of the Ferret in my avatar. But here he is in my CUCV!

My low coolant module is starting to act up these days now too. I think I'll unplug it the next time I'm in the truck. I've got a mechanical temp gauge.

As time goes on, I've personally found those capacitors to cause more trouble than good. The horn cap failed, and the wiper caps were causing a slow wipe. I removed both of those and the horn/wipers resumed working correctly. I removed the cap off the alternator too. Given how advanced...

While the TDR setup I mentioned wouldn't monitor voltage and run an afterglow. Truth be told, my CUCV never after glows and it's not a problem. Outside of that, converting the temp sensor to a switch would make a simple TDR function much like the glow plug card. If you did need afterglow, you...

A time delay relay could be purchased much cheaper than the replacement card if one doesn't have one. Less than $10 on amazon. The rest is just wiring. While it wouldn't be as fast as plugging in a card, if one didn't even have the card housing, they're going to be addressing the wiring...

I've seen and replaced failed dampers. The level to which you're going to tear it down, you'd be better off replacing it if there's any doubt. Also replace the front main seal if you replace the damper. Check timing chain for stretch while it's apart as well. (Doubt it's a issue, but you're...

I don't drive smokey every day. But he does stand guard around here. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

A time delay relay is absolutely a viable option. Just use it to power the glow plug relay. I'd recommend using a coolant temp switch though to provide ground to the TDR. That way it won't toggle when the engine is warm. You could also use that setup as a completely automated way to start...

Well this popped up in my facebook today. Back when I hauled it from either Columbus or all the way over to durhamtown for the rally. I certainly have tested a CUCV.
