    secret kill switch - security - discourage possible theft?

    I installed a alarm system in mine which has a starter kill relay. When the alarm goes off, it cuts off power to the stater, the alarm also has a shock sensor. The kit is easy to install, here is the link: https://www.compustar.com/security/cs720-a The only extra piece you will need is door...

    Clunk but doesn't Always turn over

    I had this happen and it turned out to be the starter solenoid. You could try a voltage drop test between the positive terminal and signal terminal on the starter. If the voltage drop is more than 0.2 volts your solenoid is the culprit. This can be done by disconnecting the power going to the...

    seeking CUCV IP Replacement how-to

    If you have someone to help you, I usually leave the injector lines on the pump and remove them together. Change them over on a work bench and put her back in. Reduces the chances of mixing the lines up and its a lot easier to remove the lines on the pump side when its not in the truck.

    Re-torquing head bolts?

    I put the Acdelco seal tabs in the rad on Wednesday, and drove the truck to work about 20 Km today. They seem to have stopped the leak. As for clogging up the radiator and heater core, from what i've read GM uses this product in some of the vehicles off the lot as preventative measure to ensure...

    Re-torquing head bolts?

    I have a M1008 that appears to be leaking coolant out the bottom center of the head (where the head attaches to the block, under the exhaust manifold). Initially I thought it was the freeze plugs so I replaced them, but now it looks as if the leak is coming from above the freeze plugs. I have...

    Fuel lines...

    I know the rubber line coming from the pump to the filter is 3/8 and 1/4 from the filter to the pump. Any rubber line rated for fuel should work no problem.

    Glowplug afterglow duration.

    Hello everyone, I was wondering how long the afteglow cycle should be on a cold start. I have attached a video of a cold start, it was 2 degrees celsius (35 fahrenheit) and the truck had been sitting overnight. The truck has been converted to 12 volt and the plugs have been changed to Acdelco...

    Failed Injection Pump Governor Weight Retainer Ring

    I was wondering what draw backs are of continuing to run a pump that the retainer ring has disintegrated in? Originally the check valve on top of the pump got clogged, so I broke the glass ball out and put a small filter in so all the little specs wouldn't go into the fuel tank. Its been about...

    AC Delco 60G Identification?

    I purchased a set of 8 plugs the other day and all the boxes had 60G on them but the glow plugs themselves had Ac Delco and a bunch of numbers plus 10.5 volts stamped. Just wondering if all the 60Gs were like that or if I just got ripped off? The old plugs I pulled out clearly had 13g stamped.

    fast idle temp switch

    Just to confirm before I purchase it, the fast idle temp switch should give a full 12V to the green wire going to the injection pump and solenoid when the engine is cold right? When i put the volt meter on the green wire going to the injection pump, i get between 4 and 8 volts. It fluctuates...

    M1009 temp gauge

    I put mine in the water pump plug, the hottest reading i've gotten in the summer is 160. Not a very accurate place to put it, but still better than the stock light.

    Who has the most Kilometres/ Miles on their CUCV?

    Actually my speedo is dead on, comparing it to the GPS on my phone. My truck is completely stock thought, no lift, 4.56 gears, 235 85 16 tires. I have never done a compression test but for oil pressure, after the engine is at operating temperature: 40 PSI at idle and 60 PSI at anything above...
