Dunno if you were aiming at me..but..Quick question. Do you have the ballast resistors bypassed on the firewall for the glow plugs?
Wow.Be careful. I have been using curved jaw vise grips and needle nose pliers. One of my latest and so far greatest tricks is the wire tie thru the nozzle hole break off the tip/head and pull it out. good Luck.

You're so encouraging
By far the most frustrating thing so far!![]()
Great Job. I knew you could get it done. No way is the wrong way. It is the way that gets it done that counts and that way may be wrong the next time. Been there done that. Never the same each time. End results the same. Resolution NOT every time. Have a Great Day. Good Job. Happy for you. No TM needed for that trick.
You got it out though ! That's the important thing. What you should do now if you drive your CUCV on a regular basis is to replace those glow plugs at a set mileage every time. Just like replacing spark plugs or changing the engine oil. That what most all fleets do. Just like you should do with your injectors.Thank you Jesus!

That is so easy to fix. Just a little pulling on the brush guard and a little touch-up paint on the fender ! Then probably replace a "tie-rod end" and an alignment and your golden !Watched as some guy pulled out of a side street right in front of me.

They're probably gonna total it based on year alone.
Rain + no ABS + panic stop + no stopping distance = bang
Luckily he admitted fault to the cop and his insurance company....
One wheel is pointing slightly different than the other... brush guard got pushed into the bumper, which got pushed in.
It doesn't look that bad, except when you compare one side to the other, you can see how bad t was pushed in.

Fight it, there is probably minimal frame damage, a couple bumper brackets, maybe a bumper and grille guard, and it would be good to go. Lots of these trucks go for upwards of $5,000 now, so find a couple good examples in the same condition as yours, and the insurance will likely pay. It's a hard battle, but being to other driver admitted fault, it should be easier. Good luck.Watched as some guy pulled out of a side street right in front of me.
