Wasn't me but this is all good tech. I wouldn't sweat a new plastic radiator. They have been used for decades now and work fine.

1) remove all that fugly stuff 2) one step at a time When you take something apart be sure to go through whatever you are touching. Like when you pull a hub off. Wouldn't hurt to replace the ujoints, pack the bearings, replace the ball joints, etc. Replace every thing that is related to...

Confucius say hard to offer electrical help to tech who not understand basic electricity. It's like offering help and fundamentals all in one. If you act now you can maybe save your truck! I doubt a resistor especially the one on a CUCV would fail. They are pretty beefy. I'd guess it all...

Also wiggle your hazard button. I lost blinkers on both trucks occasionally from it.

Anyone that thinks it doesn't look cool is probably a commie...

Yeah but it looks cool 🤷 Clearly that's way more important then performance....

Pulling the trans is a lot of extra work to not really expose anything to clean. Nothing that some simple green and a hose wouldn't take care of.

I remember the caps being pretty tight like 140 or 160. I think on a stock truck the axle and snubber are in the way but the lan will come off. Mine leaked again after about 6 or 7 years. 😑

Haha, fair enough. Sorry man, just calling it. It's like when someone says I like to cook so I'm going to open a restaurant. Definitely find someone local that can help you if you tackle it yourself. I see a lot of "I service my own generator." That's why I'm onsite collecting Benjamins to...

Dude if you have to ask then it's probably past your pay grade. You are talking about dropping the pan and pulling a crankshaft bearing cap. I'm all for people wanting to learn how to wrench but your question and lack of self initiated research outside of this question makes me think it's not a...

Yeah man it worked fine in stock form and it's a design that is used by almost every vehicle of that vintage. If you are installing this to band aid something else wrong like long crank times you have other issues. Sure I get it if you are putting a turbo on and want to use the FP plate for...

That will change, once you get a lot.ofntje stuff dialed in the truck will become reliable. I have gone through every system and sure it's expensive and time consuming. But for most of a decade it was basic maintenance and the occasional fail which was usually just something small. Most of my...

Even when everything works correctly the OEM illumination sucks. Or maybe my eyesight is dimming as I age. Regardless the CUCV has aftermarket gauges which are super bright. The Burb has LEDs in the factory cluster. Dimmer is on full blast, no need to dim. They are as bright as they should be...

Depends on who is doing it. But I'd bet all the money to my name that I don't want to see anyone on this forum doing that.

I remember replacing mine when I got the truck. Something about the ones listed in all the parts fiche online were wrong but there is a set of AC Delco lines that fit with some minor bending. Probably bought them from RockAuto but maybe not under the 84 model year.

There is an endless amount of joke material here that I'm passing on. Wanted to let you know. 🤣 I would think that an inverter would be primarily powering AC devices only while running without a house battery bank. When I camp I'm a snob and will only drink drip coffee. I have a small machine...

Cool I do a segment on a show called The Survival Podcast. There used to be a guy who said the same thing on the show years ago. I never knew where it originated from. Sounds military... Tow bar is on the list. I have a CUCV and my square Burb has all the CUCV bumpers. I'd like the ability to...

Inverter is great to have in general. My concern is buying a 24v unit it wouldn't work with normal 12v vehicles. But I'm guessing you would permanently mount it. I don't know if Id go through the trouble of making a PTO generator. Probably would just buy a used standby or light tower for that...

LED for the win...

Not sure why you need that...my M1031 came with a generator 🤣 I would think the stock system at 24v is good to about 3k watts off idle. Anything more you are really taxing your alternators and discharging the starting batteries.
