    M1031 rear box mount

    I don't have the box any longer but I recall it was a c-channel. Bolt head, washer, c-channel, mount, frame, washer, nut.

    M1031 rear box mount

    So the box is gone but you can see the holes in the frame and the mounts used.

    Warm Idle

    I already replaced the lift pump to fix a leak. I think the injection pump is leaking from a seal. I might have to look into that.

    Warm Idle

    Thanks for the response! I think something has changed or is starting to change. Today I drove and it idled normally. It's confusing.

    Warm Idle

    I've been driving my M1031 around locally since Dec 2019. It starts fine and high idles until it gets warm. I noticed recently that my M1031 idles really low when its warm. If I the glow plugs aren't required to start (stock system) when the truck is warm, it really idles like it wants to...

    Passenger side fuel tank installation

    Yes, please. I think I understand what you are saying but I'm not quite sure. So I think you can fill from either side with your system to fill both tanks, right?

    Fuel Gauge Issue

    I was having issues with my truck going past full and staying there for most of the tank. I found that the engine would cut out as the gauge was one tick away from empty. I replaced the sending unit (after trying to clean the connections) and the gauge works as I would expect it to.

    GM 8 vs HX35 turbo for boost control

    Have you looked into wastegates? I've used an adjustable boost elbow on one that you can set and forget to whatever PSI you chose.

    Fuel Tank Sending Unit M1008

    I believe that's for an in tank fuel pump. I left it out of the way when I swapped mine out.

    Mechanical fuel pump replacement

    Honestly both top and bottom. I think if I'd done it a few times I could do it from the top. I'm not sure I can count my 3 tries as more than one... If I wasn't trying to rush, it was pretty easy. I just ran into not getting the rod out and then forgetting the gasket. It's not given me any...

    Fuel filter drain leaking

    Rick, thanks for the advice. I'm unsure of resealing the base. I might look for some of the spin on options as it appears this design is not supported anymore.

    Fuel filter drain leaking

    I just changed out my fuel tank sending unit. The stock clamp isn't as tight as it used to be. I came out to fuel coming from the top of the tank. I now believe I need a better clamp and the fuel filter is draining back to the tank. My conclusion is the stock filter base needs some TLC...

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

    It was replaced.

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

    I took advantage of truck being a cab and chassis and replaced the fuel tank sending unit. My gauge was not very reliable. It would read near full and then about 1/3 tank. Even when the truck would be near empty the gauge would read not read empty. The tank was pretty clean on the inside...

    Volt Gauge Mounting Bezel Needed

    That's pretty trick. Where did you find the indicators?

    Fuel filter drain leaking

    It looks like it's coming from the drain hoses but I'll ensure that's not catching the drips from above.

    Fuel filter drain leaking

    I removed the screw and I didn't see any place for an o-ring. The petcock looked in pretty good shape so I cleaned it off put it back on. It appears to still be draining but I'm not sure it's as bad as before. I'm still not happy with the leak in the driveway but it's not as bad.

    cucv lift kits

    If you wanted to run 37's would you still do the 4" and zero rates? What's rubbing? The frame or front fenders? Would a 5" spring in the front work the same or do you need to relocate the axle?
