Like others said, turning the pulley should help as well which I forgot, if you can get the belt started I'll take a picture of what I think I remember on my dads cucv later today. It wasn't one of the bolts holding alt to bracket, I thought it was weird that I had to mess with this third bolt...

I have since had to sell my cucv :( but as I remember the driver side alt belt was a particular pain. There is a very well hidden slide adjustment bolt down below the driver alt that needs to be loosened as I recall to get full adjustment. Is that one loosened too? It's possible the belt you...

I'd just like to add this in case it is useful to anyone- I just replaced all my belts today, on my 1028 For O'Reilly fans, I used the following three belts and they were a great fit: Masterpro 7450, for PS pump, Masterpro 7575, driver side alt belt, Masterpro 7485, passenger side alt belt...

Thank you all yet again. I'm all for preventative maintenance so I will go take a look at the stickies, etc. When I said how do I know if I have Dot 5 brake fluid, what I meant is how do I know if the truck currently has Dot 5. I read somewhere that most CUCVS had it from the military but...

Alright guys here's another question- First thing in the morning, only then, first start up of the day, my rear wheels are easy to lock up. I'm assuming that my wheel cylinders could stand to be replaced. I have had this issue with all my old beater trucks w/ rear drum brakes. BUT: I've heard...

One question still remains- The pressure regulator (?) on the injection pump- a unit ive heard about, that has a spring loaded glass marble in it- does this in fact exist, and what is it called? I'd like to have one on hand if this is something that might be troublesome down the line. Chris

Thank you all sooo much! This has been a great sanity check. I have kind of figured that this all had to be fuel related... I suppose there isn't much else going on a big old diesel... The lack of gauges has been quite annoying. I appreciate that suggestion and I have been thinking the same...

Thanks, I appreciate the help. My struggle with the temp light has been, how do I know if its overheating? When the light first started coming on intermittently I would stop driving, open the hood and take a look, and I never saw anything weird. No steam, all radiator hoses are crack free and...

Hey all- New member 23 y/o from MA and proud new owner of a M1028 CUCV. I apologize if I am posting this thread in the wrong place, as a newbie to the forum I'm not sure. Forgive my ignorance as well on any questions below, I am not a bad mechanic but this truck is my first foray into diesels...
