i'm on the pump wagon. I had a bad one that was surging like you describe. If not bad, something was re-assembled incorrectly perhaps. Hard to diagnose over the web. Can you video it ?
RE tires yes and he gave me about 3 extra sets of the tires as well. I don't know what to replace them with and want to keep them for the look. Rob Love found some Chinese knockoff's in the US for his, they dry-rotted after a year. Terrible things.
Yes there was a mod for the hubs, not...
From what you're describing is a sticking bendix or bad solenoid. Probably a slowly dying starter if I were to be a betting man. They have a life span. The trick with the wrench, or giving it a smack will usually let the bendix go. Mine was sticking the opposite way where it wouldn't engage...
oh and Blue you're in a long line of dudes wanting to buy it "when I sell it" :D but I was thinking of heading to the Kenora car show if they still do that...?
hey guys! To answer a few of the questions - CUCVLOVER Yes this was Canadian military. Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry 2nd Battalion was listed as the user on the CFR search. EME, BLUE this unit was not advertised for sale, rather a club transfer of ownership once both caught...
Hey guys,
The fleet is still growing slowly. This is one of the Canadian pattern simply called the 5/4 (nicknamed "fivequad") commercial pattern vehicle. It's a 1976, has a gas 350 in it and the AWD system Chev had back in the day.
Enjoy
the exact same issue.. started today for me this afternoon seemingly out of nowhere. Truck had been sitting a few weeks, started it up and it ran fine most of the day. All of a sudden erratic idle and it would rev up slow, slow to return to idle. (been home a few days and gone for weeks at a...
found this diamond in the rough and just had to get it. The frame is still painted and has grease pencil marks on it still. BY FAR one of the cleanest CUCV's I personally have ever seen. Front right fender has a slight crease but everything else is straight as an arrow. Doors were obviously...
Hey Doghead, or anyone for that matter... any clue where to get the NHC 250 clutch fan parts? Mine is toasty. The bolts were missing to lock it out. sourced some and discovered the holes were stripped. Guess that's why they were gone. Suppose I could tap them out but a fixed clutch would be...
Thanks to this thread my cold Canadian arse just found the mysterious problem I had during Remembrance Day.
Got bloody cold over the past 2 days (down to 0F) I figured it was moisture related
cheers!
i'd have to agree with DSI, the 2, 2.25, and even the 2.5 give the rap, pop, redneck sound lots more. I wish I went with 3. That video is coming soon for you, I had the truck out today.
I'd like to go too, but for now haunting the site will have to do. Logistically Im not sure what i'd take down...
Need to add the new Armstrong MT-500EC Canadian model (1986)
I used the flowmasters on 2.5" pipes. factory turn-out dual configuration. I can take a video when the snow and cold go away in a few weeks if you like. When you really step on it they have a bit of that old red-neck sound I think you're trying to avoid. Unfortunately the v8 style anything...
