Haha thanks - Yep I was going for the Detroit Diesel 2 Stroke look. If I ever pull the motor I'm painting the entire thing just like a factory DD 2 stroke. Be careful with that camo engine, in the right environment, you might completely lose it ;) It is still running like a champion, not even...

Update- Truck is running better than new! All new gaskets, lift pump, Accurate Diesel rebuilt IP, painted Detroit Diesel Alpine green. It starts, runs and sounds better than ever. More power too. I'd recommend this stuff for every CUCV owner, just due to age, these parts are all prone to fail...

Definitely a gasket was there. I was just worried that it might have fallen in the motor, but I don't really think that was possible probably fell to the back of the block. It is too tight of a fit coming out for it to fall in. Will

I got some great answers to my questions, thanks again! Now I wait for the IP to get rebuilt and the parts to come in. Will

Glad to hear the gear isn't a problem. Nope it definitely has at least part of a gasket. Don't have a bore scope, but I have a dentist mirror, I'll give that a go. Will

IP is out! Not too bad, it was just cold and the injector lines are a pain. Two questions - I took the vacuum pump out and it looks like there was only half of the gasket that was left behind. I have no idea where the other half went, and I don't think it fell in, but if it did, could it cause...

Honestly, I'm just going to pull it and get it rebuilt and put a new lift pump in. I cant have this thing break down, and the parts are 30 years old at this point. The amount it is leaking from the throttle shaft is insane too. Especially with my NV4500 swap, zero leaks are allowed. I will try...

10-4 on that. I need this truck to be as reliable as possible, so I'm going to replace the whole fuel system. I can't have it down, because it gets used almost as a daily driver. I'll keep you posted on the status, but it probably wont be until next week because we just got snowed in... Will

So with a little advice, I decided to just replace everything. It is 30 years old and shot anyway, so instead of being stranded down the road, I'm going to deal with it now. Will

Hello, Just looking to bounce some ideas off of you guys. My dad was driving the other day when we said the truck sputtered out while moving as if it had ran out of fuel, not a "dead kill" type situation - it wanted to keep running if that makes sense. It has been extremely cold here in NJ...
