Today I was able to get all my lawn equipment back in the running. I had issues with belts on my Land Pride mower. It was eating belts. The OEM one lasted 20 years but I was eating thru 2 after markets a season. I bit the bullet and bought the $70. Land Pride belt. Sometimes you just spend the...

Yes when the engine shut off the pressure was forward of the clog. And at that point the obstruction if there is one would be released and re-settle somewhere else in the fuel tank. It may never happen again. But until eliminated it is a possible cause. Not saying 100% but still part of the...

I know I haven't posted any progress lately. Spring time brings many projects that need attention here at the compound. I do make slight progress on many things daily. One of my goals is to complete projects and stay on them till they are completed. The outside work is very important. I had a...

OK. But did you discover the issue. The fuel tank must be dropped to assure that the issue is resolved. Dancing around the issue will not fix it. It takes time and energy to make a definite repair so this does not happen when you are miles from home and end up stranded along the road with a huge...

CUCVRUS Repair Projects | Page 6 | SteelSoldiers Yes I would pull all 8 glow plugs and test them. The AC Delco 13 G will work with 12 volts applied to them. That is my knowledge since guys cut the wire from the 24Volt ballast and wire it to the 12 stud. But first I would get an eyeball look at...

If it were my truck and I wanted to diagnose the glow plug system. I would pull all 8 glow plugs and bench test them. You could have 1 or more that are not glowing and they can return a false signal to the glow plug controller to protect the system. I may not have my terminology correct but that...

I was always told my CUCV was SWEET. told

Clogged fuel sock. It may never happen again. But until you look and eliminate that as the issue that is where I would look. First place for fuel supply and a known problem on older vehicles. Think about this. New Chevrolet gas trucks do not have a fuel filter. Everything is filter thru the...

You are sure you have the correct lift pump? Not sure if you know but several will fit on the 6.2 but are incorrect. They are listed as correct in parts manuals but do not pump fuel correctly. Also motor mounts can sag and allow the engine to rest on the rubber feed hose on the bottom of the...

That interruption in fuel delivery may be impossible to duplicate again. That is why I suggest a look see in the fuel tank. That screen may never clog shut again. But until you eliminate that issue as the cause you may never know and it could happen again at any moment. Finding a no run issue is...

The only thing it could be is an interruption in fuel delivery. With out seeing the vehicle it will be hard to diagnose from afar. You mention it shut off. Have you ever pulled the fuel tank and checked the fuel sock filter on the end of the tank? It could be it clogged and shut off. Then after...

I have never explained it before, and I will not now, here. I always floor it when I pull out and am met with the same resistance and ignorance from the same select few passengers. I simply dont care to debate it anymore. The CUCV charging system can be complicated. I just make it simple. Floor...

This is true. A bad alternator can cause the light to not illuminate. Internal issue. Going forward I am getting self exciting voltage regulators. The idiot light still works but it will eliminate the need to excite the charge circuit. On my M1028 I just floor it and it moves the needle to the...

I am back in for a short break and an update. The M1028 is loaded. It threatens rain here and a few drops fell. My CUCV and log splitter are waterproof. They are both diesels. I am just amphibious and work outside in all weather. I had a massive firewood pile in my yard that just kept getting...

Todays repair projects require a strong back and lots of positive energy. That leaves me alone outside splitting wood by myself. There will be a CUCV involved so I can load the CUCV with split wood and show you how it is done. The CUCV is a 1987 M1028 that was bought and sold twice by me. It...
