    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Drove mine to get some ice cream today. It sat for nearly a month with no love. I wanted to make sure the fuel system was sealed after converting to a spin on filter set-up and new injection pump. Sarge started up just fine, ran down the road and looked good doing it.

    Happy to report that I did nothing other than turn the key and the truck started just fine. It has been sitting since the Veterans Day Parade last weekend. I converted to a spin on fuel filter and installed a new injection pump prior to the Parade. I'm glad the fuel system is air tight again.

    Installed a new injection pump calibrated for a 6.5 N/A HMMWV on my truck this week. I swapped the top cover to retain the 12 volt shut off and cold advance solenoid with no issues. I have to make an adapter for the vacuum modulator but I rigged it temporarily to stay at 1/2 throttle setting...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Drove mine 70 miles over the past 2 days. It broke down due to a fueling issue but after cleaning the check valve on the Injection Pump cover it seems to be back to normal again. I'm going to change my habits and drive the truck on a 30 mile trip a week whether I have a need to or not. Should...

    Russm, I am a fan of the PulseTech products but what you have is a 10 watt maintainer. 10 watts in bright sun, it is not a charger and PulseTech's literature supports my statement. I recommend that you charge the batteries to the best of their capacity and use the Solargizer to keep them...

    Cleaning the check valve did the trick. It was running great until I put an additive called Multilube Diesel Fuel Conditioner in it. We use it at work on every diesel we store for over 90 days. Semi-Legal Disclaimer, I'm not advocating that it's anything other than a guy peeing in a jug out...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I'm having a fueling issue with mine currently but I think I'm making progress. It shut off going down the road on an ice cream trip last night with Lee and my youngest son. It made it home under it's own power. Once stalled and shut off it would start right back up and run strong as ever. I...

    I've read about changing out as the "brick" filters are getting harder to find. I put a new one on last spring and will continue going down the road. I'm sure it helps that my truck only has 7,400 miles on it. Saving up for new tires currently. Sarge will make his 2nd trip to the Ga Rally...

    Good PMCS, new wiper blades, topped off the charge on the hawker batteries, filled with diesel, quick wash, interior detail and it's Leesburg Christmas Parade ready. Didn't get to take it to Durhamtown this year so it's annual freshening up was delayed. It's hard to believe I've had this for...
