    CUCV 1986 M1008 - In a Real Pickle - Bad Heads - Need Advice

    ACDelco 60G's are what you want. They are self regulating. Most guys use the 60Gs with zero issues. Me included and over two years without a single issue. A few still use the 13Gs. Your call

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    Pictures don't convey just how bright they are and how far the light is thrown downrange. I was very impressed, especially with the new bulbs. Perfect timing too, days are getting shorter.

    Buying New Injectors. Delphi or Bosch?

    Be sure you get the 30mm socket designed for the Bosch type injectors. I bought a new Snap-On socket (1/2" Drive) and it worked perfectly. Cost me $25 on eBay. https://store.snapon.com/Metric-Injector-Sockets-Socket-Metric-Injector-for-Bosch-type-injectors--P635581.aspx Injector fit like a...

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    New tires were supposed to be here today. Now FedEx tracking isn't saying when they will arrive. Not happy. Tires and new paint. Last two items needed. They will probably show up when the storms start next Mon/Tues

    blown fuse

    Crawl under and look at the fuse box. Youll see the open spots. Someone might post a diagram to help. It's also in the TM. I tapped the side of the water pump. Not the best location for accuracy I know, but it works. I have a brand new HMMWV crossover that I will install someday. Will...

    blown fuse

    Not sure why you tapped into that wire when there's extra ignition taps available on the fuse box. All you had to do was ground it somewhere under dash, instead of running it that far. Theres a ground prong with six tabs on it above emergency brake a bit. Use that. I also have an autometer...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Prices on heater cores are nothing compared to a radiator. Don't need one yet, but I think I'll order one anyway.

    Truck-Lite LED Headlights----Finally Ordered a set.

    I use a fence or wall to rough aim. Then I go to a dark road that I know is almost never traveled at night and do a final aim. Suits my preference on how I like them. I haven't had anyone flash their brights at me yet. The truck-lites in my 5 ton are the same way to some extent. I think...

    What are you guys paying?

    Looks more like parts were thrown on it. Frankenstein CUCV Agree that the added gauges could be issue. The M1008 did not get the dual kit to my knowledge. Is it worth it? That's up to you. With it being modified like that I personally wouldn't even look at it.

    Buying New Injectors. Delphi or Bosch?

    Installed new Delphi injectors today. Job took about two hours total and that included removing/installing the rear battery and tray. No problems and the both the lines and injectors came off and went on very easily. Cylinders and glow plugs looked good. The old injectors are made in USA by...

    Truck-Lite LED Headlights----Finally Ordered a set.

    This thread tells how old mine are. I have not heard about any revisions. They are getting better and the TL 5 ton lights do have a totally new design. So it would not surprise me if there is a new version.

    Truck-Lite LED Headlights----Finally Ordered a set.

    You cannot compare the two lights together. Completely different design.

    Truck-Lite LED Headlights----Finally Ordered a set.

    He's correct. The spots are there. Slight.... subtle.....but definitely there. If their not aimed correctly (too low) you stare at them on the road. I then realized I had them aimed too low. Did adjustment (much better!!!) and no issue now unless you drive towards a wall. I still love the...
