A used injection pump is not new and is not considered rebuilt. Unless I heard and knew the engine that the donor pump was removed from ran as designed I would not even go thru the effort to install a used injection pump. And that would be ME seeing and hearing the engine run that the injection...

When you see a vehicle with excessive rust. Be very careful and think " Do I want to put this thing up on a lift and stand under it. I had a 4 X 4 Isuzu P'up diesel and welded the frame several times to get it to pass inspection. I seen it a few years later in a scrap yard and the only thing...

I used a self tapper and JB Weld and fastened the wires back in the hole so the harness had something connected to it. Done it on a few over the years. But I bought every switch I ever seen and used them all but 1. I still have 1 brand new switch.

You need to borrow my brush guard straightener? Looks Great.

Just put a self tapping screw and sealer in the hole behind the pressure sensor and drive on. I see the pressure switches for sale from time to time. I have a few optional filters I removed from CUCV's and returned to stock fuel filters. I am OCD and don't like things that don't belong when a...

I didn't see this post. Yes make sure you have a starter heat shield in place and the wire starter trigger wire goes behind the heat shield and onto the inner stud on the starter. I would turn the injection pump towards the drivers side 2 line thicknesses and see if that helps. With the glow...

Seems odd to have a 3 speed wiper switch for Back Up lamps. But whatever. And yes that will work for wipers. Just a bit confused as to what you are doing. Good Luck.

I just ordered these guys for yard protection.

A new ball is less then $20. I will just replace it. It has razor blade chrome peeling from it. If it were something special I would just fix it but it is nothing and not worth the effort.

My 1977 K5 with the 400 in it sounded like NASCAR with the 4 barrel. It really had no power it just sounded bad. The 1977 400 shows 175 net horsepower and 290 net torque. WOW that is a dog. The new 5.3 engine is basically a 325 CI. Introduced in 1999, the 5.3-liter (325-cubic-inch) Vortec...

M1009 Black Lock Out Hub housings. OEM used. I am posting these pictures here for a prospect. I can not post pictures on PM. Let me know via PM if you are interested. It is a Steel Soldiers member that ask if I had them. Here they are.

That was a nice K5 in the day. It had A/C, power doors, tilt wheel and everything. I imagine it is a 1978. That snow plowing killed and still kills many good vehicles. I had a 1977 K5 with a 400 in it. With the lid on the air cleaner flipped it sounded like it was ready to take off. I was out...

I was thumbing thru the want ads of the Lebanon County Tribune when a classified advertisement caught my eye. It said take immediate delivery of a nice K5 Blazer. Needs a little work but out side of that she is Cherry. I think I will pass this one up.

Compression stroke? I would do a couple of 360* turns. that resistance could be hydro lock or rust preventing it from going around a full 360*. Just double check it closely. Good Luck. Another tip would be to remove the glow plugs and eliminate the compression and spray some light oil in the intake.

Also I have a lot of concerns for that engine setting outside in the rain with no hood. That air cleaner housing is NOT waterproof and them studs are not water tight. I would be getting a 24MM socket on that front crank bolt and making sure that motor is not locked up. It may be too late. Good Luck.

Check out this thread. Lots of X rated CUCV action. Down to the bare frame and beyond. I hope it helps. Also I have lots of the missing parts you need. A few you will have to source new and they are available. No Antenna mounts here. Good Luck...

WOW Imagine that. A belt slipping on a CUCV alternator and not squealing. I always told my friends that was a CUCV mating call. Glad you fixed it.

OK. I seen the rust on the gears. Clean that rust off and add new oil and run them gears. These are heavy duty gears in these trucks. If you feel the need to change anything have the bearings changed and polish the gears. The rust you are showing is nothing in comparison to some of the gears I...

Have you considered taking them off and having them tested at a competent alternator shop? I always say there is more to rebuilding components then putting a few parts in. Do it right the first time and drive on. Cheaper is NEVER better. Good Luck.

I replied via PM. But yes this is a spun and true OEM M1009 stock steel wheel. It has been blasted primed and top coated. It will require sanding and painting but it is not a wheel that was just taken off and boxed and shipped. I actually disposed of 4 M1009 wheels while I had my inventory...
