The way you wrote that makes me wonder.... Are you cruising about 52 - 53 MPH in 4WD?

Is it hydraulic? I see two hydraulic lines. EDIT: Rmtaunton answered my question while I was writing it.

It's a CVT brand, Mt Shasta model. They have even nicer and more compact models now. They all mount to the roof rails on trucks, SUVs, and even little cars. Browse around their website, there's some cool pictures. I added a set of roof rails to the topper and it holds it up there great. It...

The coolant is all coolant and the oil is all oil. The oil level on the stick is constant as well. After the 20 minute drive to the ferry terminal this morning there is pressure behind the cap, not sure how much. Heater core good. Everything appears normal.... :???: Yes, I survived my CV...

So dispite the radiator weirdness, we had a fantastic time. The campsite is down an dead-ending abandoned logging road. 4WD and clearance is a must, as well as a healthy disregard for the condition of the paint along the sides of the vehicle. This was a first trip in this year and some...

Here's a weird one. On the way to the campsite the low coolant light came on, so I popped the cap and the level was down maybe two inches. Wait....popped the cap? Yep, no pressure at all on the radiator cap. So I'm not sure what was going on. Maybe it vented into the overflow right before I...

90 degrees here...in Washington!? Time to head up to the mountains. Put the tent on top today and packed the truck. I'll post some pictures of the campsite when we get back tomorrow night.

I believe it was for sampling the oil. It should have a narrow steel line that runs up to a petcock valve near the coolant overflow. There are several fitting involved in making all that happen, so a few potential failure points of which to be aware.

Pulled this out of the oil cooler line. The upstream lines look a little weepy and they serve no purpose anyway. The guy I bought my antenna brackets from said his failed- spraying hot oil all over the engine compartment and burning the truck to the ground. He said it like it was a common...

Can the Corporate 10 bolt in the 09s handle the bigger wheels that one would put on a lifted truck? That's always been my concern and why I've left mine stock. Lift + drive shafts + steering + wheels + tires + kaboomed diffs gets expensive.

I let some air in the last time I was bleeding the brakes. Once you get a big air pocket in there it compresses and your pedal pushing becomes significantly less effective. My wife's leg was getting tired. I pulled the vacuum pump set-up out of the garage and plugged it in. Positioned the...

I just added a line in from the 12V bus bar above the GP relay- with a fuse of course.

I'm confused. In your first post you say the Temp light (which is red and traditionally means STOP) came on "for a while" and today's post implies it ran fine for two days after the Temp light incident. I asked if the motor was even rotational because you seemed to be saying it was running...

Put a socket wrench on the crankshaft pulley and see if you can rotate the engine. Pull the GPs out and that’ll be easier.

There's already a lot going on up on my roof. :wink: So today I used an old Ram-Mount I had around to mount a small sized clipboard to the center console for note taking. Then I finished wiring the inverter. I cut the connecting strip on the 24v bus bar so the first two posts are still...

It's a mil piece, I'll look and see if I can find the vendor and PM you the details.

Here's a few more pics of the 2 meter radio install: The antenna in the picture is a temp one- I have a Larsen 2 meter antenna with the spring waiting to go on as soon as I can find someone to tune it for me. It’s mounted on an 18” aluminum mast extension which is sitting on the standard...

A trooper at the ferry terminal this morning feigned interest in the truck but he really wanted to let me know that the off-road lights on the grille needed to be covered. He didn't write a ticket or anything just wanted to let me know. On my drive down there a red SUV in front of me pulled...

Just a note: not all CUCVs have rust. I live in rainy Washington and mine has no rust-through at all, not even close.

Reach over the top and yank the shifter back. Even when you go all the way to 4XLow the handle is only straight up.
