    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    I'll check for the part number and actual cost. The core was not real expensive - less than 30 bucks as I recall. I told the parts clerk I needed a heater core for a 1986 K-30 with no A/C, to take his time and check around that I did not want the thin alum. one. When I returned in a couple days...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Removed my thin aluminum heater core and replaced with a much thicker heavier duty copper heater core from NAPA. Took about 2 hrs. Checked all duct work for obstructions etc. It now produces enough heat to stay warm on a 20 degree day in Il.

    Atlanta, Ga area request

    It's the same size bolts and nuts on top and bottom. I've only done my fronts so far but looking at the back I plan to do the same although it does look a little tighter.

    Is it worth having a pro set my timing?

    If it starts good, gets good fuel mileage and good performance you might not want to change the timing.

    The Technician class is not to difficult, I studied an on line course for 1 hr per day for 2-3 wks and passed with a 98%. Not necessary to know the Morse code for the Tech. class.

    I can't find anything cheap anymore! The new ball joints and Bilsteins were worth it though, front end handles like new or maybe better. Thanks for the compliment, my place is more work than that 1009, taking care of calves, horses and all that goes with it.

    Ham Radio Operators / Steel Soldiers

    I just took my test for Technician class yesterday and passed, I should have my call sign this week. I was thinking of purchasing an MX 6707 antenna base and a AS 1729 antenna to mount on my M1009. I know that an RT 524 will work with this but I was wondering if it would be better to get a more...

    That's what I'm afraid of.

    I recently had my IP rebuilt for 587.00 at a diesel injection shop, mine was leaking at the throttle body shaft.
