    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    So it's happened, but I still don't get it. Someone stole my sons weight plate off his blazer he drives every day. I bolted that on about 6 months ago. We watched some videos of places he's been and go back a week and can see it's not there, so we have no idea when or where it got taken. So it's...

    An alternator mystery

    keep posting up if you have anything else going on! We all gone through enough that most anything can be figured out pretty easy.

    Glow plug system

    Mine acts like that in the summer...it clicks on for about 15 seconds and the light goes out. Right now I am at 37 degrees so now the light stays on longer and once it starts I get a few after glows...I don't think the after glows happen over 70 degrees I think. If you used to get those I'd...

    An alternator mystery

    Nope that's normal...use the other battery for your ground and you'll find the real volts for that one alternator...29 volts total running is good!! Glad it's fixed.

    CUCV won't prime

    So you got fuel coming out of the fuel filter but still trying to get it to come out of the hard lines at each injector. I just went through this last week. Got an engine running that hadn't run since 97. Start with fully charged batteries. I opened 2 on each side and did 15 second turn over...

    Does anyone use black diesel?

    I have 275 gallons of filtered cooking oil I have set up to turn into fuel if I ever need it. I have access to all the used oil I want at this time just haven't run down that hole yet since it's easier to do cooking oil than used engine oil. Plus it's cleaner to deal with.

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    Have had some good progress on the 2nd 1009 the last week. Got wheels and a tail gate painted and tires installed. The spare tire mount installed and the tail gate bolted on. Inside looks really nice. The lizard skin noise control in the back and the heat in the front should make this one easy...

    New member with a few questions

    Ok I zoomed in on your pic of the alternator and it looks like your pin un screwed itself...all I see coming out is thread...don't hook that up to anything. Be on the left side of the alternator you can see the threads sticking out. You test volts on that regulator yet? Sent from my SM-S906U...

    New member with a few questions

    If you look at the back of the alternator there's a pin that sticks out...it pops onto that. It goes to the big round connector under the dash for diagnostic stuff. That plug in your hand looks like it's a fat purple wire? It looks like the starter solenoid wire but not sure! I assume the...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I'ts odd to add a bunch of power wires to go under the hood off the fuse box when there is a perfect place under the hood to hook to. Cutting up the fuse box is something I'll never do. That looks like a several hour job just to figure out what they did. I feel for the guy that ends up...

    MEP-802A compare to Miller Big Blue 500

    That's great! I haven't had one of those machines before so I haven't tested one. I know they weld very good...high duty cycle.

    MEP-802A compare to Miller Big Blue 500

    I'd be curious how "clean" the power is...as in pure sine wave or block? I really don't know but might be something to look into.

    Did I just fry my glowplug card

    I backprobe the wires when it's cold and see what it is plugged in, then warm it up and see if it changes. The ohm thing is good but you really don't know if it's working...probably do that with the key on and off and see if there is a change as well. I think it would be very easy to do that...

    Over heating M1009

    Total for sure...but I've been doing this for decades and have everything I need to do it. If you haven't done it before I always start removing all wiring first then it doesn't look as bad. Another thing I do after pulling the torque converter bolts is make sure to push the converter off the...

    Did I just fry my glowplug card

    I'd go after the temp sensor on the rear of the drivers side head. That's supposed to trigger the ground on the board to turn on the glows. Does it start after you jump the glow plug relay? I can only assume it's cold up there now and mine need glows at 50 degrees. Check the ground at the...

    Over heating M1009

    That stinks!!! So your gonna swap the motor out for another. I do these in about 3 4 hours depending on exhaust fight which the blue tipped wrench always wins. I think the most helpful thing would be park it where you're gonna pull it and pop the drain on the radiator...let it drain overnight or...

    Over heating M1009

    I'd be curious if your cap was releasing some coolant out to the overflow and it came out of that since you said it leaks or the hose to it has one in it. My trucks like to sit about 5 6 inches below the cap.

    Glowplug system questions

    I hear that completely!! I've got several spare ones that work but very old. I'd be upset if a new one got damaged! I'd check the resistor output and make sure it's at the 12 volts. I think the small wire that hooks up with the glow plug output goes to the card so over volts would be bad. I'd...

    Glowplug system questions

    Ok was it on the drivers back head? It could be the card though! Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Dark Seas M1008 Project

    I'm curious if you pop a tiny amount of air in the expansion pipe outlet will you be able to find a leak with some soapy spray water? You'd have to block off the output shaft though. Maybe pop the drive shaft in it. I don't think trans fluid should come out of the trans bolts. Sent from my...
