really forget how much screws to loose....
after 5 hours end for today as more other dutys to do
all tidy sorted and stored but not the day's goal to expand engine achieved
CUCVRUS yes corona has put a lot of strain on the economy. I notice it in my job in the metal industry (we actually have trouble getting shipping boxes... same like toiletpaper in the supermarket :ROFLMAO:) and also in May this year when I had to wait 2 weeks for standard suspension springs for...
You are right
Before our Volvos go to the Scrapper was they stripped on all what ´just still useable, never to got new and later sold part by part. Like the CUCV are the 9er Volvos Dinos in the car scene and much of them still running.
Volvo 745 Rollover was no more to save on it....
Volvo 945...
:ROFLMAO:
they are a special mementos what a small driving mistake can result ... Fortunately, only material damage without further involved. I have leftovers like these from all of my engine repairs - but I usually turn them into metal design gifts. Only just these not, because my wife don`t...
and that happened today with new cars with much electonic inside
Electronic factory immobilizer has failed and nothing works anymore ... or rather the display says: contact your workshop immobilizer unlock not possible.
Got a new ignition lock with immobilizer elektronic .... nothing to...
I hope nobody cares if I take a short trip into the past
Another special engine project was 16V Volvo 2,4l 156 HP
complete dismanteld as after rollover breaking timing gear with big damage
But a special engine got a special repair to be saved for the future
driven by my wife 2004 - come out of...
My first engine overhaul 1980... on my first car Ford Capri
young and inexperienced but still he ran again after the job - only to be crashed by a friend around 6 month later
Engine 1,6l and 68 HP - really much at that time for 20 years old young men on the road in germany
I had seen this manual before but ignored that it is for the HMMVEE, but when leafing through for troubleshooting I saw one or the other interesting note.
Until yet i had as reference the shopmanual which detailed shown all procederes, but it is for civilian versions and so in several things...
Regarding the fuel pump: that's exactly what I'm afraid of. So here again to get the wrong pump although the picture is the right one.
Milage - if i remeber right around 240000 Miles / 380000 km - remember long stock but in the years of service as main Truck comes a lot on it. (to reach work...
Was there anything you could find out from the GM dealer? There seems to be another one here, but I don't know if it's the right one.
By the way, vanaissa, with shipping costs same like german price but here also addional customer fee pay by delivery. The costs are initially negligible as long...
The engine specialist in my neighborhood unfortunately has no capacity for new orders for the next 3-4 months. He offered me to do a damage assessment
in the next four weeks, however, an overhaul by his workshop can only take place in 3-4 months. With this type of engine he does not expect any...
Both coming out of cleaning in the eary morning with a worse result
So the next step is taking of the complete engine again.
We now have practice in it.
The engine was tested in 2015 with the cylinder heads removed but not completely dismantled. We have documented the results. Everything...
I gutted and cleaned both cylinder heads yesterday. No cracks were visible until then, but tomorrow I will let both heads run through our machine cleaning, not only to remove the last remnants of deposits in inaccessible places, but also to check again for hidden cracks. We use a special...
In fact, the part was never off. The dealer takes them back already have the shipping label. Nevertheless, I still need a spare part. I'll delve into your post later.
The dealer's answer: He buys pumps from different manufacturers, which can vary in appearance. Ultimately, the pumping process begins immediately after the test described by CUCVRUS. That it is no longer an original part was actually already clear to me when I looked for it.
Nevertheless, I...
You are right I know about that J Code and the difficulties in order parts of it by german dealers.
To buy parts on Amazon.com also never problems, but Ebay ....
First of all, when I press the lever, I also create a vacuum with this pump. This was a must be fact if I understood CUCVRUS...
Thanks Rutjes for the offer. I still hope it's the right pump ...
Globeworks is a trusted dealer. He will take back the article without problems and exchange it if necessary. Maybe it's not the cheapest provider, but that's not my choice either. Especially with the Chevy it was so that I...
Thanks for your tip - I'll do it that way.
Before I had the TMs 😎 of the military version, I could only work with the shop manual. The civil version is identical in many areas. With the electrics, it was then useless in many parts. And since there are big differences in electrics between...
Take US Price put tax, fee, shipping costs on it .... additional next day delivery so it make no sense waiting for import in any way to save some Euro and wait 2-3 weeks for delivery.
Complete parts in the box 450 Euro - no one said Chevy M1008 is in Germany a low budget truck ;)
