Thanks, it's doing great. I've had no issues with the set up so far. I've not taken it offroad yet but around town and getting groceries I've had zero problems. I've had full fuel cans on it for a short trip getting groceries, without issues or any movement. Once I lock the carrier handle, there...
Good day,
I struggled with what to do with my RAK 15 as well. I ended up putting the spare tire on a rear swing mount to gain interior space. I had to custom make part of the mount. I ran electrical to the back so I could plug in a variey of things. I put the RAK in a tote when not in use...
Oh....the CUCV is starting fine after the glow plug relay replacement. No more Gremlins have shown up this week either. Keeping my fingers crossed!

I purchased a winch mounting bracket from Engineered Vintage for the CUCV off Ebay. It works for the most part. I really liked the design since it allows a winch mounted behind the bumper without changing the bumper or moving it. At $500+ this was no easy decision but considering design time...
New GP relay installed and working. Now, time will tell if this is the only Gremlin lurking...for now. The manifold and the injection pump are now the cleanest things under the hood! Notice the resistor wires hanging out behind the air cleaner. Someone, by-passed the resistors in the past. I...
I posted this in my other thread M1009 has no power now that it's warmer in AZ?. I'll put more details in this thread.
I installed the Tiny Tach at the same time I put in the rebuilt IP pump. It sure is nice to have for adjustments, diagnosing issues and general knowledge of what's happening...
Okay, everything checked out so far except the GP Relay. It appears it might be an intermittent old age problem. Old age....another issue entirely!
All 8 glow plugs check out between 1 & 2 ohms, I have 12v power to the GP relay by-passing the resistor bank. However, I did finally catch the GP...
Hello all, it's been a while.....again. My IP pump came in after the rebuild and it's finally installed. So far my CUCV seems to be running great. It's not a project I'd prefer to repeat but I have an 82 quare body with the same motor. So, I'll be doing it again eventually. I installed the Tiny...
Interesting, now I have another issue creeping up. Intermittent starting....
When it starts, which so far has been almost every time I turn the key. It's starting just as quick as my 2011 daily driver. However, a couple times now it will crank and not start. I'm confident it's not a fuel issue...

Good morning, it's been a while and it's finally cooler here in AZ and with my outdoor projects thinning out, I finally pulled the IP out of my spare 6.2. The rebuilder I've selected from Ebay promptly called and notified me the IP pump already had the solid flex ring. That is a nice bonus! My...

"Retention of heat is a critical factor in fuel thinning after a high-ambient heat soak. As the hotter, thinner fuel passes through the pump, internal...
I adjusted the IP timing to roughly 6 degrees advanced, little to no smoke but a little engine clatter which went away when it was warm. Fair enough and to be expected with too much advance. It idled pretty darn smooth with good throttle response with no load. I brought it back to roughly 2 to 3...

I'm working through problem of the M1009 running until it's up to temp and then having no start issues on the other thread. I completed this filter housing swap today and thought others may be interested if it's not already been done.
I used a 6.5 diesel fuel filter assembly with heater, primer...
