I'm surprised no one has done this yet though. Has everyone just been replacing the relay with the standards and just kept on replacing them everytime they break? I'm surprised there isn't a HD plug and play one.
If don't mind cutting the wires as long as I have a relay part# and...
What are the parts most likely to go out on a used cucv with 100k miles?
Already done:
Oil change
New fuel filter
Auto trans fluid changed
Undercoated everything
New glow plug relay
New Alt belts
On my to-do list:
Radiator flush
Tcase fluid change
Diff fluid change
What else may likely fail...
***UPDATE***
Pics of the fatmat in on the floor.
I did 3 layers from the firewall to the front of the rear seats.
Under the rear seat and the back cargo floor, I did 2 layers.
I haven't done the doors yet as I had trouble getting the panel off, but it's still on my list.
My vinyl flooring...
***Update:***
Fatmat is 40% done... will finish fully tonight with that but looking for some opinions.
I bought 4 rolls of this stuff, I've done 85% of the front passenger area and am probably 70% through the first roll.
Questions:
A) Should I do the rear too? I was planning on just...
Planning to change the diff fluid on my new 09 as I'm not sure when the last time it was done.
Planning to use Lucas 80/90 or Mobile 1 synthetic, both of which should have the additive.
Are there gaskets for these diffs? If so, what do I need to tell autozone or napa to lookup. I wasn't sure...
Question:
I have 1 rear blackout light that's noticeably dimmer than the other. I didn't think LED's would really get dim, but then again these are some old LED's made before I even knew LED's existed.
Is it normal for them to go dim and if so do I just need to replace them, or may something...
Good deal, the ultimate fatmat is what I got. Good idea on the weatherstripping, I'll add that to my list. Do they not originally come with weatherstripping? Thanks!
Anyone know how to adjust the brake pedal?
Here's the problem... brake engages and disengages properly, but when totally disengaged the pedal itself falls about a 1/4" which is enough to setoff the brakelight. If I lift the pedal up that 1/4", the light goes out. Let go... light comes on...
Thanks dependeable, that's come good info right there. I didn't think of the asphalt issue while halt, and noticed the rubberized undercoating I'm using has asphault in it, so I'm definitely not going to use that inside the cab. I'll just use some regular paint or something. The stuff I used...
Claim blasphemy, but I'm on a mission to make my cucv into a vehicle my signficant other approves of and my ears can tolerate more.
Everyone's thinking... why'd you buy a cucv then right?
Because I found one that was cheaper and in better shape than all the Civy ones I looked at. Plus I'm not...
After I crank up my 09 the Gen2 light stays on for a while, and the voltmeter is in the yellow.
After I drive for about 5 or 10 minutes I'm back in the green and the Gen2 light goes off.
Looking under the hood, my rear battery I think it is looks like it's from '04, but the front battery is...
PO said he replaced the 2 alternator belts recently (dual alts), so I'm thinking maybe they've just come loose now that they're getting broken in because there's this awful screeching whine
A few questions:
#1 How do you tighten the belt on the alts? Do you just loosen the alternator and...
Not looking for a civilian vehicle finish... texture can be the same as the current paint because it has a fresh coat of OD by previous owner. I can still smell the paint.
So would I had to strip that off completely with like a sander to get black to stick, or can I just paint right over it...
So say I waned to paint an M1009 all black. What's the olive drab paint on there... it looks like a primer almost but I wasn't sure if paint would stick to it or does it all have to be stripped off?
Not wanting showroom floor paintjob but just thinking an all black scheme, even though I know...
m16ty,
I'm way over in the Memphis area. Took the truck out for the first time today, and got some really strange looks from my neighbors. I think they're going to hate me.
