Thanks for the video! What did you use to film it? It’s high def

I have found this can be caused by a couple of things: A - The belts will stretch pretty quickly, and they will stretch way more than you'd think. Because of this they need to checked every so often and need to be pretty tight. I found that belts that are a small as possible are best. The belts...

D Do these valves have a service life? Is there an aftermarket solution for replacement? I would imagine neglected brake systems can have these valves seize up and loose functionality. also is there a way to confirm it’s adjusted properly?

I’m referring to the green stuff, I’ve never read that it doesn’t play well with aluminum UNLESS you don’t use the right water. People mix with regular tap water and that will potentially contain minerals that will damage the radiator. If in doubt don’t use concentrated coolant and get the pre...

A high quality 50/50 standard coolant mix has worked well for me with both aftermarket aluminum radiators and in marine applications that use a mix of aluminum and bronze cooling system parts. Make sure to use distilled water for the mix

Looks really good. Loving the build so far!

Has anyone tried one of those solar battery maintainers that plugs into a cigarette lighter receptacle to keep their forward battery topped off? My truck has a 12 volt accessory plug added and I’d like to try one of these to keep my forward battery topped off or have the option to (slowly)...

The harder I run my truck the better the engine does. I’ve never had another engine that needed this treatment quite like my 6.2

Push button glow plus was not standard but it is a common bandaid when the factory glow plug controller starts to malfunction. Some may argue otherwise but it’s not a bad solution. Many including my self run this way with zero issue.

Looks awesome

Can you post a picture of your setup? That would tell us a lot about how it was done. Knowing what you got is priceless and going back to 24v (a really good system) will get you fluent in your trucks wiring. Plus you will get a fresh starter (make sure this is installed properly to the specs...

Your truck looks awesome in your avatar. Do you have any other pictures? I love these trucks in red

Did any CUCVs end up getting painted by us forest service in that mint green color? If so does anyone have a good picture of one? I could see it looking cool with fresh black accents.

looks great! What did you use to thin the paint?

The JW Speaker lights are so sweet, I plan to get a set. Did you go with the heated lens?

I keep telling my self Chevys are like legos, it’s pretty much a bolt in deal. I plan to do a thread documenting either how straight forward the swap is, or how foolish I am 😂

I’m very fortunate to have a lift and tranny Jack so it should be a pretty straight forward deal. I'd love to get my hands on a M880 some day! Unfortunately I will be swapping the entire pedal set and it probably won't be super fun. I'm looking forward to rowing gears again someday soon!

I'm quite familiar with driving lockers with auto transmissions. The reason for my post is a manual transmission is a direct drive (no slip at all) and supposedly makes these traits worse... Curious to hear others experiences with a manual transmission / Detroit locker setup

I certainly will! There are already some excellent threads on this site I’m using as a reference. So far I have the transmission and hydraulic clutch pedal set. I need to order all of the rest and should have everything collected in a month or two to begin the work.

Also this dude (Rocknus urban camouflage) put out some awesome content. I would watch every CUCV related video he did starting with “CUCV classroom” I assume he’s a member? https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEhhfKFkDsGTHR1GJ8MkWA9xDif0PlSfz
