yes I did and im still confused

OK I need help with the electrical system. Ive read the tms and the schematic and frankly it confuses me. I need help where to run the wire that probably has a short I have the truck with a new glow plug card. I bought the truck there was a cut on the yellow line on the temp sensor on the...

this thread was great info.. someone should add these pics in the other thread and here to the sticky thread... It helps exponentially

truck is brand new to me. It came from the government minus the starter and with gen2 unplugged and half broken. I got a 24 v starter and replaced the wiring to it. no key looked underneath and the starter relay was missing. I ordered an AC Delco one and installed that ( Gen 2 was not hooked...

One of my moron workers stole my CUCV Pickup last week and swamped it. I need some help with part numbers so that I can get new parts for it. First off I need new brake pads for the rear Dana 60 Will these interchange with the regular K30 ones I find in Auto Zone? I need an axel bearing and...

my truck sat for who knows how long prior to my getting it, When it started the first few times there was a steady right side valve that seemed off it would pop and you could see puffs out of the right exhaust... After the first oil change with seafoam it cleared up within an hour or so I...

In the morning the truck wants to bang gears and slip into neutral once at least so Im resigned to the fact that the trans is going. I already dropped the pan and replaced the fluid and filter. The trans pan gasket was leaking some so I thought it would be best to just throw the filter and...

my CUCV is a work in progress. Ive changed all the fluids, swapped in a newly covered seat, changed both inner and outer fenders, changed the bent tie rod ends and had the wheels aligned, ordered skyjacker shocks for it, changed the leaky rusted exhaust and repaired the glow card system . Still...

At least from the pics it doesn't look like its too bad... just make sure you measure everything and it should be an easy repair

Ok so I finally got my title and got my truck registered and took it on its maiden voyage as a former military truck I know these things are geared really low as they have a ton of torque. It does not really appear when driving that these trucks spend any real time in first gear its almost...

OK so im really new to these CUCV things.. Ive been looking into parts on these things.. GM72K10 was telling me in another forum we frequent to change the CDR valve and gave me a part number.. Said part number is unknown to my girl at auto zone.. similarly there are different injectors for the...
