Very nice benches you made in the back. And I still really like the look of a CUCV with the trim and bumpers in plain flat green. The tires look great also. It has a better life then it had here. Happy Holidays Doug.

Can you pinpoint the part with a picture in a diagram? I can't picture what you are talking about.

Dougco1, that is an excellent observation. I used to like that sound when I was at the intersection a 1/4 mile from my house and pulled out in the winter. It sounded like the engine was coming out from under the hood with the timing advanced. I have since been less amused with the sound and am...

Sure, it is just an exit vent for the air to exit the tank during refueling. Just use emission hose. I am pretty sure it is 5/8". Good Luck and Happy Holidays.

All I hear is a blower motor squealing and possibly some fan belts. I also know that delivery nozzles can stick on occasion and get a tapping sound. Sounds like a dry nozzle after you put the phone on the floor. Good Luck.

You are all good. The biggest PITA is keeping the trans cooler lines tucked to the side. Easy done with a zip tie or bungee. Good Luck. You can do this. I use the gasket and Permatex the Right Stuff. Done hundreds of engines and never had issues.

Turbo 400 TH400 Transmission 4x4 Performance Super Duty 4WD, turbo 400 monster transmission, Racing Th400, Race Th400, Racing Turbo 400 You could have the original transmission overhauled for 1/2 the price. Happy Holidays. That would be a good price if that was in the truck and out with labor...

Turn down for WHAT?

The CUCV's came from new with 3/16" spade terminals. And if I encounter a loose ill-fitting spade connection I just twist and tweak the male connection on the glow plug and that corrects the issue. I still have the 36-year-old stock terminals on my 1987 M1028. And imagine that. I have the A C...

Yesterday I drove the M1028 325 miles. I got home at about 730PM and my Wife says, "how was the trip in the truck."? She laughed she could see the answer on my face. I said it didn't miss a beat. It beat me all the way up and all the way back. I hauled a load of slab wood up to the mountains and...

I have a replacement oil pan if the need arises. I would fix the one you have. Good Luck. Happy Holidays.

That needs to be removed and hammered out with a block of wood. That is not very nice. Happy Holidays.

Why are the seatbelts still attached. Go under with a propane torch and heat the nuts. Have an assistant hit them bolts with the impact and remove them. I see pictures here of cab interiors repainted and the seat belts all taped up. Hey not my truck but wanted to mention it. It looks great. A...

My advice. If you have the engine out and on the floor. Do the heads and head gaskets. I agree that the bottom end looks good, but I never removed a cylinder head from a 35-year-old engine that did not need new head gaskets. Head gaskets have come a long way since 1980's. Here is a post I made...

It is just 2- 1/2" bolts. It should require a 3/4" x 1?2" drive shallow socket and ratchet. Optional would be a cordless 1/2" impact and 3/4" shallow 1/2" impact socket. Remove the 2 bolts and lightly lift the transmission center adapter with a jack. Just slightly and remove the rubber mounts...

I had rusted thru exhaust manifolds on Mr. Rusty. I torched the heads of the bolts off and the shoulders of the bolt under the hex would not allow the manifolds to be removed. Since the manifolds were junk, I melted them back further and used a cam style bolt extractor with no problems. I have...

Body bolts? Or body mounts? I replace the body mounts and the bolts. There is nothing special about the bolts. getting the old ones out is the special part. But patience and an impact will do it. DO NOT RUSH THEM. Let me know I can explain.

WOW. I can't even watch. Bio clamping anything and grinding is painful to watch. But from the looks of it the clam shell is scrap anyway. I use a 3/4" piece of plywood and jack up on the oil pan and flywheel cover. I have not dented one yet. A dent is not a big deal. But if it is caved in that...

I did the brace and redesigned the transmission crossmember after crushing 3 of the stock crossmembers on my Terminus M1009. I never crushed this crossmember and I ran 4 x 4 1/4" steel angle on the bottom frame flange bolt it fast. I used the paint I had in the shop as I always do on projects...

I know of diesel injection rebuilders in my area that will not do retail sales. They will only deal with professional shops. I get my nozzles tested there and get a few diesel related parts from them. Right now, I know that the stock fuel filters are hard to come by. I have a few in stock but I...
