There are some main components of the CUCV that are new for 1984 on all GM C and K series trucks. The steering column smart stalk is new for 1984. 1983 models had the dimmer switch on the floor and the wiper switch was dash mounted. There were some other new features for the 1984 model year C...

What you are showing on the Qtips is normal crud for the condition of the fuel and fuel tank. I think the aftermarket sending unit was made of cheap steel and rusted aggressively from the normal condensation that is in the fuel tank under normal conditions. the original one was an alloy not as...

The tank looked good to me. That was an aftermarket sending unit. I agree that you have a moisture issue in the tank, but I don't think the tank is scrap. That opening on top is big enough to get that tank clean and then evaluate from that point whether a new one is needed. Good Luck.

I just used LED clearance lamps on my B/O lamps. I never hope to use them anyway and they really look nice. In the rear I sed a set of LED RED lamps in the hinge holes of my M1009 Mule. I added a set of LED license plate lamps on the rear that were lit when the backup lamps were on. I had...

Heat the nuts and keep in mind the wires are attached and that strap is double nutted. Good Luck. Get a good deep 6-point socket that the hex drive runs the entire depth of the socket.

It is 11/16" they are 7/16" coarse thread. 7/16" 14.

Rochester NY. Less than 300 miles. I have been there a few times. On a bad day a 5-hour trip. I had a member here drive from Florida for an M1009 rear axle. They used to be everywhere now they must be getting hard to find. 35-year-old vehicle parts get less and less with each passing day. I hope...

Are the batteries load tested and fully charged? Have the resistors on the firewall been bypassed? I always get a belt the fits about tight with the alternators fully retracted and tighten from there. I drive to the local parts store and walk in and out till I find one that fits nice and tight...

105L Rugged Case - ROAM Adventure Co. This is the console I would use. Expensive but rugged and worth it.

My Son picked up a 2011 CVPI and is in the process of removing the entire body from the frame. I was there to offer technical support. And the use of my garage in the barn. I have 4 wall outlets in my barn at this time. More coming. The LED lights are all wired in conduit to code. I have cut...

To ease strain on the starter when I replace an engine and want to prime the fuel system, I remove the glow plugs. It is 10 X faster and makes everything spin much faster. Good Luck. Great time to get a visual on the glow plugs and you can bench test them. Or not. Just sharing.

I would look at what is causing the lock up. Have you ever had the drums removed and looked at the condition of the axle seals and wheel cylinders? That is where I would start. Most time brakes lock up because of an issue with oil or improper adjustment. Could be proportioning valve issues...

When I bought my first CUCV all I heard was the ballasts on the firewall fail all the time. So, in an effort to stay ahead of this I bought every ballast resistor I could find. I invaded EBay and marketplace. In the end after 28 years of CUCV ownership I never had 1 fail. I replaced a few that...

Governor?

I second Diesel Care. I have had many injection pumps rebuilt by them for many pieces of equipment and several vehicles. They never left me down. And when I read the reviews the biggest complaints, I read were guys that had jacked up diesels and did alterations to the engine and pump and could...

I learned something today I never knew or heard before. Chevrolet LUV trucks. Acronym Light Utility Vehicle. I worked at a Chevrolet dealer in 1979 and we never received a 4WD LUV that was made in Japan. An aftermarket company here in USA made the 4WD conversion. In 1981 when the newer Luv body...

If you were not in Oregon, I would sell you a brand-new in the crate M1009 rear. It is an OEM GM rear axle complete except the hydraulic brake tubes. I also have a brand-new OEM front axle in the create complete with new L/O and calipers.

Maybe. Is the C10 rear 3:08 ration. If I were to do this, I would swap the backing plates and axles. But you must make sure the spline count on the axles is the same which I believe they are. I converted a 1985 C10 to a K10 and used the rear axle after swapping the axles and backing plates. I...

This may not be the end of this issue. How did air get in the line to begin with? If it sucked air once and all they did was bleed the air, I would be concerned as to how the air got there in the first place. Unless you are not telling the part of where they discovered the air leak and fixed it...
