Correct. I've replaced all the rubber lines on the hard line sections in the engine compartment. I purchased this truck as a non-runner and diagnosed that the anti-siphon valve on the lift pump was bad. I replaced the pump and the heater hose that was being used as fuel line and wound up opening...

Gentlemen, I did a quick search of the forum and I couldnt find anything. So my apologies if this has been posted already. I am doing a lift pump replacement and I have the Banks sidewinder kit already installed (it was done poorly) and I am trying to correct some of the problems that the...

Interesting well I gotta say I’ve been told a lot of stories about GM’s keying system and thats all new info to me & different than what I’ve been told before. Thanks for the info. I guess Ill just kill switch it then. Thanks!

Ok sorry let me clarify. Of the 2 kinds of lock cylinders I could purchase one would be a square key like on the civilian chevy trucks and the other was a round key so a person can use the ignition key for the door key. I purchased a round key / cylinder set for a civilian chevy. I tested both...

So I ordered a set (2) locks for my truck. The driver side cylinder has seen better days and after a generous puff of graphite did nothing to help smooth things out I decided it was best to just go ahead and change the cylinders out since their is another CUCV in the area and I don't want to...

Thanks! As I discover new issues that is my mantra, a little chuckle and “one problem at a time”. I’m taking notes and lots of pictures so I don’t have to try to remember everything that needs addressing. I enjoy wrenching but honestly I am a little anxious to fire it up. I need to get it in...

Wow thanks that is really helpful, I am going to try to see about getting that drivers side bumper paint off! The original paint is showing signs of age and eventually I would like to repaint the truck with its original markings so that will be helpful when I am asked what the history of the...

Thanks for the advice. The harmonic balancer is definitely on my list of future projects. But what I was stating with CUCVRUS its a better idea not to get too distracted while I try to chase down the air leaks and take the residential plumbing fixtures out of my fuel system. I am attempting to...

Good advice I will take that to heart. I will hold off on the harmonic balancer. I had read it was an issue with these engines but if I can go without changing it I will stick with that. Its easy to get to all things considered. It has been sitting for 2 years so I am hoping the IP is still...

For anyone interested I found a picture of the radio rack and some of the original power equipment as it was on the trucks. photo credit...

Cool thanks for the info! Now that I know the designation I can read up more on this variant! The bed is eventually going to come off. I have a few cancer spots on the bottom that need to be addressed. I ordered a Contour SCT from Eastwood to help make quicker work of the scaly stuff on the...

Okay so quick follow up to this post. Previously I posted a photo of a mason jar that I fashioned into a vacuum jar so I could check for air in the line. Since I posted that I really have not had time to get out and play on the truck. But as the photos indicate the jar was mostly full. I had...

*Sigh* Yeah I am in the process of replacing all of the rubber lines on the truck so I planned to drop the tank. I thought that may have been the case. The funny thing is the anti rattle stuff goes on top of the tank not the bottom.... I guess I am heading to walmart for some cheap gas cans...

Gentlemen, I call upon your collective knowledge once again. The usual disclaimer to please excuse my ignorance. I really love my truck (that I still haven't started because I need to work through obvious mechanical issues first). I digress. I need some help understanding more things about my...

You are correct photos would be better. I thought I attached them to my original post, turns out my iPad is not totally compatible with this format of forum for uploading images. Let me fix that from my computer. So let me ask something because this is all still theory to me. The GM Tech...

That is fantastic. Apparently I missed this post. Thanks I will add this to my Evernote notes. This is definitely a step in the right direction. I found the post that had total estimated lengths needed which is how I was able to purchase my gross length of fuel lines.

Howdy folks, so brief re-intro I purchased a 1985 CUCV a couple months ago off eBay and I have been inspecting it and taking notes and (re)reading the gee golly willakers out of Steel Soldiers and my reference material and I am stumped. So a little background the PO (Previous Owner) told me...

So are your questions answered? If you don't mind me asking what was your motivation to purchase a new CDR valve are you having a specific problem?

On the 6.2 "Intake vacuum acts against a spring loaded diaphragm to control the flow of crankcase gases. Higher intake vacuum levels pull the diapraghm close to the top of the outlet tube. This reduces the amount of gases being drawn from the crankcase and decreases the vacuum level in the...

Absolutely! I already contacted Banks to get the hose that runs from the CDR to my air box so the hose for the oil filler to my CDR is the last piece of that puzzle. How do we do this? Thank you!
