I spent all morning shoveling the snow off the driveway and sidewalks, and at 57 now it seems to take a bit longer. We got dumped on, probably 6"-8" which isn't much in some places, but it is here. Later in the afternoon I drove out and picked up the tires. Four good tires and 16" wheels for...

265/75-16 Load Range C tires on the CUCV. Adequate? A tiny bit narrower and a tiny bit taller. Just not sure if the M1009 is too heavy for Cs. There's a set of studded tires available locally, already mounted.

I'm very dissappinted I missed this deal. :mad:

Bring them with you when you come to WA to collect that lunch I owe you. If you tie them all together they can be your carry-on.

Always appreciate your help! That's what I'll be doing, and anti-seize gets slathered liberally over pretty much any fastener I manage to get out in one piece. If you're ever in WA please let me know, I'd love for you to drive this truck and give me an estimate of how well it is or isn't...

Those are the culprits. The center post was larger than the hole in the T25 Torx anti-tamper bit I have. I was able to get them out and back in by tapping the bit onto the head of the screw. Not the best maintenance practice I know, but finding another bit wasn't something I was going to be...

Took the governor cover off the IP and changed the shutoff solenoid. Those anti-tamper screws were a lot of drama; really not sure why they used them. None of my anti-tamper torx would fit. I ended up having to tap the T25 on with a hammer. Truck started up and I drove it around for about...

Finally was able to get outside again today and troubleshoot it some more. It fired up like normal, then died a minute later. Removing the pink wire and touching it back I hear the solenoid inside click occasionally, but not reliably every time. This is leading me to believe the solenoid is...

Working in the rain means I really don't want to throw parts at it if they aren't needed, so please bear with me. I agree about the mileage. This is a daily driver though, it never sits more than a day or two. My filter base has a pressure gauge. It's steady at 7 - 8 psi right to the point of...

Where did you buy the parts?

No, as far as I know the engine has about 30K miles on it. Cool barn! I work in the rain... Do the symptoms I describe sound like an injection pump issue? It was running strong the whole day, still running strong during the brief periods it was running.

Got the jeep back on the road- just a new oil pressure sender. The CUCV still not running right. It will start normally, run a few minutes, then shut down. I changed the filter and it ran for 10 - 12 minutes, then shut down. Wait about ten minutes, and it starts, runs a few minutes, then shuts...

What a day.... Wife and I drove to the mountains on Saturday to shoot a pistol I picked up on a police auction. We drove the Grand Cherokee but as soon as we hit the National Forest I heard a chime and the oil can light on the dash flashed on, then went out. The oil checked good and then the...

Picked up? Where does one buy those beasts?

I had the charger on immediately and left it going all night. When I left for work in the morning I took it off (it's not an auto) and later in the day when I got home it started right up like normal. The bad news is that my alternator that was supposed to be delivered FEDEX yesterday was...

I opened the inside door of the garage last night to make sure both overheads were closed before going to bed. I heard a strange rhythmic knocking, or popping sound coming from the driveway. :unsure: Put some shoes on and went outside the see what it was. Turns out I left the Whelen siren/pa...

I've never had the drums off, so I never had the chance to slather the anti-seize on it. I always coat some on everything before it goes back together, jeep or cucv. ;) While the wheels were off I gave the hub a squirt of penetrating oil.

I swapped out the studded tires for the regular ones after work last night. While I had the back wheels off I wanted to see how bad the rear brakes are; IOW, I know they're bad, just don't know if I need to order new drums or not. Cant get the drums off! I'm pretty sure they're just held on...

The second of the two landing lights burned out, so I replaced it with my last spare. I bought them on here, forget who was selling them. They'd been on the truck for almost 10 years now- use them sporadically. The first one burned out about a month ago, so the timing was interesting.

Put the studded tires on the '09 tonight; snow in the forecast.
