    Fuel Gauge 12v

    Forgot to add it I guess since ive been at it ad nauseam. All grounds I could possibly find have been cleaned and re-cleaned. Including the one next to the parking break, that one is very shiny. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    Fuel Gauge 12v

    I am getting no power to the 12v pin on the back of the fuel gauge. Coincidentally the parking brake light is fed by the same circuit so that doesn't work either. No voltage at the corresponding pin on the pigtail either. I lose the wire in the pigtail bundle but assuming it goes to the fuse...

    Starter Issues

    Thanks Mr. Dos equis. [emoji192] If I tried to do that I'm pretty sure my apartment landlords would have a brick come out of thier dark holes. They already give me death stares when they see me under the truck. What probably saves me is that I dont leave any stains. I'll remount the starter...

    Starter Issues

    Got a shop to do it, looks brand new. Even has the new smell. A few of the flex plate teeth look a little worn, but hopefully it works. Don't have the means living in a apt to drop the tranny to change that.

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Make sure your sealant is resistant to oil. Or else the fuel will slowly dissolve it. I used yellow teflon on mine. Its for natural gas fittings but 2 years since the mod and no issues yet.

    Starter Issues

    Let me try to get my whole history in here before you guys tear me apart. :drool: About 2 months ago my batteries started going bad, not able to hold a charge. Just out of warranty, go figure. Truck would struggle a little to start. I was also poor at the time, money was tight, couldn't make...

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

    Yes I know thanks. Just copied the name of the thing from the sale post. Driving it is what charges it. It discharges itself just sitting there in the driveway needed to stop that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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

    Installed a Pulsetech solar 24v battery charger/desulfator/pdu that i received from a fellow member. Panel went on the roof. Control box temporarily mounted with zip ties in the center console until i can make some brackets. Circuit breaker box went between the batteries on the wheel well. Have...

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

    -Decided to get rid of the stock floor mats I’ve had for a long time. Lined the floors with aluminum roof flashing (2.5 rolls) with rattle can bed liner on top of that. Lowes part # 154017 for anyone interested. Turned out great. Feels pretty durable. Used wifey’s old floor mats on top...

    Heater Vent Control

    Took apart my dash and found a loose mechanical vent control push wire behind the heater control. Does anyone have a picture of how this is supposed to look? I think I’m missing a part. I’m finding only the electric connections in the TMs In the second pic I am holding the push wire Sent...

    M1009 (Also) Turn signal issues

    Wowwww problem fixed. Finally The turn signal switch in the steering column was the culprit. It was covered with little brass shavings that were probably shorting out lots of things. New switch problem fixed. As a side note I am missing the spring and retaining ring for the lock plate that...

    M1009 (Also) Turn signal issues

    Ok officially out of ideas again. Disconnected rear lights via the plug shown earlier. Signaling left I can hear the flasher clicking but pressing the brake makes it stop (same issue as before) Signaling right works normally independent of brake. So my problem is somewhere between steering...

    M1009 (Also) Turn signal issues

    I am finally able to work on my truck outside and not in a garage where I had to hide from management because car repair = bad at my last place. I believe i have found my issue. The rear brake/turn signal wires leading into the fuse box from the engine bay appear to be caked with mud and...
