Your tires are 33"s so if you were going 70mph you were pulling about 3250 rpms,not terrible but I wouldn't run that high very long.

Filled the 86 1009 today, 16 mpg,not enough for me.Definitely see a regear and 700r4 upgrade in future.

A 1008 with 456 gears with 31" tires will be at 3459 rpms at 70 mph.Thats close to redline...33s@3250 rpms,35s@3064 rpms.You have been here long enough to know our speedos are never correct,gps that baby at 70mph and check tach.

I would use NPT to AN fittings on the fuel lines to the inj.pump. never worry about that one again.

If you do the spin on filter mod do yourself a favor and add a fuel pressure gauge.

A little bling action on the 1009s is kinda neat,especially with a really nice body.When I redo my 86 the body will be super straight and painted in a matte gloss paint.It will be camo though.I grew up in a body shop and if it wasn't straight it didn't get paint.Nice job on that third brake...

Thanks,I like your posts and like the fact you are very familiar with the cucvs and willing to work on them fairly.When I get ready to regear my 1009 and go 700r4 you will be who I call.I recently stopped at two local shops looking to get estimates on regearing my 1009 and both shops said they...

Sound advice from welpro,but I would think IP pump rebuild seeing how it starts well when cold.And only has problems when warm/hot.Have you tried the cold water dumped on IP when warm/hot?To see if it starts better,if it starts better, would suggest bad rotor in IP.

Very good ?,I have been debating same thing.Maybe run 4-8 ga wire from 24v power to a a circuit breaker or sufficient fusible link,then to GP solenoid then to 24v GPs.Wondering if our GP solenoids will work with this set up? If we go 24v GPs,It will still pull GP power from both batts.instead of...

I agree with all above on electric issues,on power loss issues either fuel/air filters.Or bad lift pump,my older 1009 would run ,start and drive at speeds of 70mph with no lift pump I would sometimes forget to switch pump on.(it was elect.pump) I have read our inj.pumps are capable of pulling...

Whether or not a cucv,looks like a nice truck.Congrats on that,would like to see more picts.of it.

Anyone that can use far-out,groovy and I Dig it in 2 sentences is way cool in my book...

So we are back to paying for a professional rebuild service,thanks for the effort and info.

You didn't mention miles on your 1009,but I would think its time for IP overhaul.

You forgot pictures of brake and fuel pedals,I would want compression test and oil pressure readings also.But your 1009 looks to be worth at least 4K.

It wont be long and we will be installing hydraulic lift gates for our elect.hover-rounds.LOL! Im 51 now I think,not sure what middle-age is anymore.Hope I didn't insult anyone.

Thanks tim292stro forgot about batt. heaters,added to my list.And jhowder8 something overlooked sometimes is batt.cable size and condition,my first 1009 suffered cold weather start problems and I was ignorant of these issues,It was my first diesel and cucv,after a lot of reading here I learned a...

I have read that the cold water cure on the IP is a sign of bad rotor in the IP.

Im no expert but my plans for this winter.Fuel system up to par.Batterys and charging system checked,1000 watt freeze plug block heater,rotella t6 oil,jatonka grill cover,anti-freeze of course,I already have everything done but block heater.My 85 1009 with bad batts,bad IP,and lots of miles...

Last night pulled fact.aircleaner studs from intake and added some 8" studs, as I wanted to try a larger aircleaner.I used factory base and fact.top and added a 14x7 k&n filter.Drove 12 miles this morning and noticed major oil leak at right rear of motor,checked new CDR valve and new oil fill...
