    According to Keith J you have a foreign IP that does not work on any CUCV. Once you get the right Injection pump on there you should be able to start that baby up! The only thing on a CUCV that is 24 volt is the starter.

    Help with wiring

    The glow plugs are always 12 volts at the glow plugs themselves. With or without the dog head conversion. The dog head conversion just by passes the resistor coils on the firewall witch drop the volts down from 24 volt to 12 volts. Good work, doing good.

    Oil Leak, Passenger Side of Engine.

    Maybe a head gasket? Get a flashlight warm up the engine and check all around the heads. If they are seeping you will be able to see it. It could be leaking at the rear of the head or on top.

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    I sandblasted a house one time, until I realized how far the sand spread onto adjoining properties. After that we went to 6500 psi pressure washer with a rotating nozzle. Those nozzles can eat a hole right through the stucco if you held it in one place long enough. Much better way to go. less...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    I have never run those tires before, but I can tell by the direction of the tread pattern, those would be the ultimate off road tire. Excellent paint job, looks like factory camo pattern.
