    optimizer long block - hummer 24V or cucv 24v

    I did not get the date code info figured out. I was told they started Dalton somewhere around 2014 so you must have a rebuild that they put new heads on. Is the motor good? I am now in need of exhaust. I am looking at doing it myself. The local shops just want to do replacement or kit...

    CUCV Steering wheel

    same wheel that came with my 87 suburban steering column. I think that wheel came with certain trim packages but not cucv unless they were out and I think they put what they had

    maybe it is the temp sensor for high idle solenoid. can't remember what it is for but not the glow plug card.

    optimizer long block - hummer 24V or cucv 24v

    Well I had 10 lbs last night and only 5 this morning. I have sprayed everything possible with soap water and no visible leaks anywhere. I have no fluid in the engine and was wondering how much will leak past the water pump bearing and seal. The coolant is thicker than air. Did some more...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    that is the glow plug controller card sensor but not the one you need That one goes in the passenger side port right behind exhaust manifold. The one you need is for the idiot light. It goes in the block off plate. I can possibly get a picture of mine.

    optimizer long block - hummer 24V or cucv 24v

    I got some more work done. no exhaust work yet but hopefully coming soon. I am pretty much down to the exhaust work and a few things to re-do. I don't like my power steering coolers, going to get a different one that mounts better. the oil cooler is going to get flex lines to the T fittings...

    M1009 body modification

    looks like some kind of swing out tire carrier. I have not seen any that require notches. The ones also have other holes on in the fender where the braces wrap around the corner. And another plate that screwed on under the tailgate handle where the latch was located. looks like some kind of...

    Dana 60 Alignment Help (Camber)

    I think most of the axle and frame damage comes from GL. I had to replace both my front hubs, drive shaft and cross member. I think they like to raise the truck as high as they can with lift and then just let it drop. This was after I swapped the axle. got and axle out of 1008 from ft. riley...

    Dana 60 Alignment Help (Camber)

    you may have a bent spindle. They should be fairly equal if all is good in the axle.

    oil cooler connection type on cucv radiator

    Maybe it is not 3/4-16. I cannot find a fitting that matches. found some 18mm and 11/16 but no 3/4. checked back with my dad and he says what he tested was possibly a little loose. The TM's don't list this connection size since it uses the metal lines, There are also only about 4 or 5 threads...

    oil cooler connection type on cucv radiator

    no, I did not read your post close enough. I am connecting to the oil cooler lines. I am not using the metal lines that run across the radiator. I have a oil cooler installed and I am using 1/2 pipe to connect the lines from the engine to, they pipe splits and goes to the two oil coolers. I...

    oil cooler connection type on cucv radiator

    yes, that was what I was looking for, from memory I thought they were bigger than half inch. The radiator came with two small flare adaptors with o rings that fit in the hole with or ring facing radiator. I have found some one piece ones on line but kind of expensive compared to getting the...

    oil cooler connection type on cucv radiator

    I am trying to connect hoses to my oil cooler in the radiator. I have a new radiator that came with some small brass flare heads with o rings on back. From what I can tell these work with an inverted flare fitting like this: https://www.summitracing.com/oh/parts/sum-220667b/overview/ Am I...

    M1009 Alternator/Charging Issue

    I would start with the battery. If it has a bad cell, it will drain the other and drag your voltage down. check your fusable links with meter. replace what is needed, don't have to fix what is not broken. carry the material. If you cannot take the batteries some where to load test then I would...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    I have thought about taking the back to ports and connecting them to the heater core, plug the front heater hose connection. this will give you a bypass operating full time in the back of the motor and in the front. you cannot extend the thermostat housing very much or the bolt will be in the...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    post some pics of the cross over. all cucv's to my knowledge use same cross over. thermostat facing radiator. with hose connection for bypass and heater core. and I believe all cucv's have the same sensor in the back of the engine, drivers side, passenger side is a block off plate. There is a...

    gauge cluster conversion question

    that spread sheet may not be correct. I think it had a mistake that did not get corrected and I do not remember what was wrong. it is close but I believe a couple wires are mixed up.

    M1031 Instrument Cluster Swap

    I looked through all the threads I could and could not find it either. I believe the info I posted went into a thread that was started by someone else. they were doing the same upgrade so I posted to their thread. I looked through about 25 pages of subscribed threads and could not find it. Get...
