I wonder if there was a possible bad batch of plugs and you went through a bunch of them. You may also have a bad controller or temp sensor. Does the voltmeter indicate the GP's staying on for a long time? I have gone through and replaced the injection pump, fuel system, and new GP's. It fires...

If you have a good multimeter, this diagnostic device is useless. It was stated before, it isn't like an OBDII car. Even older cars pre 95 have computers with serial data that will talk to a scan tool. The CUCV's have nothing. Save your money for a good fluke meter and an infared temp gun. Money...

This is exactly why I chose not to do the H1's, recentered or spaced. This truck will not be a rockcrawler and I do not intend on being shot at while driving. Therefore, I really have no need for such a rim. Not only is the extra weight a concern, but handling them is just a pain. I installed a...

Speaking of speedo drive gears... Anyone know what the replacement gear protocol is for doing the common 37" tire upgrade with the 4.56 gears? I believe mine is off about 10% which would be nice to make the correction too.

That is what I have. You can see where large chunks have come off and the original CARC is underneath. Looks brand new in spots.

A 2wd to 4wd swap would be killer. Not only do you get a truck that probably hasn't seen as much road salt through the winter but the price is thousands less. When you do the frontend with leafs, you are already set up for high steer. Drop a Ford hi pinion D60 with crossover and it's good to go.

This is a very simple diag that I am going to try and remember. You pull the wire that feeds the guage. With the key on it should read max full or empty, can't remember which one. Then touch that wire to a very good ground. Again, key on...it should go to the opposite side of the guage. If it...

yes please

If you are looking for a diesel crew cab that is like a CUCV, why not a pre-94' W350 Dodge, pre-92' K30, or pre-98' Ford F350? All can be had with full crew cabs and diesels. All have D60 front axles and are pretty stout out of the box. You would be time and money ahead just buying one of these...

I do not have any type of oily or rubberized coating on my truck at all. It does have what appears to have large chunks of paint like substance flaking off on the frame in spots. I also have a decal on the radiator support that says something about an undercoat has been applied. Looks government...

CUCV electric sells all of that stuff and he has a reputation with SS members. I have purchased from him before and his parts are top notch with great service. If you need anything electrical, I would probably shop with him first before heading to a parts store. If you are starting to get...

Most of the wiring is for the safety switches. It keeps the governor from functioning unless the tcase is in neutral and the gear shift in D range. You really could run a power feed from a toggle switch on the dash to the governor control box but you are bypassing the safeties at that point. I...

Why not just replace it with another 6.2? It will be cheaper than doing a 350 conversion, all the systems remain stock, and your MPG's will be better. The 6.2 isn't exactly a gem but neither is a plain jane 350. I could understand it if you were doing some fancy stroker with fuel injection or...

One word...chicks:grd:

Thank you gentlemen...I use that word loosely;) Anyone that has the chance to do the sunrise drive...take it. I used to have a big rockcrawler and would travel to find the biggest obstacle to drive over. This beats all of it hands down. As far as the Chevy fitting in with the Rovers, they...

When people say something with regards of my M1031 being a doomsday truck, I usually tell them I certainly won't feel bad when everything is being destroyed around us...I come home to take a hot shower and then reach in the fridge for an ice cold beer. I don't want to be uncomfortable when the...

Finished by coming back through the Kancamangus highway and some unmaintained roads through the state forests. The 6.2 in low range first gear was not happy during the climb. It never really struggled but wasn't exactly setting the world on fire carrying all that weight up the steep grades...

Got the ol' M1031 ready for the first big road trip. A group of trucks went up Mt. Washington on 8-26-12 at 0400. Staging the prior afternoon getting ready to head up hotel. Fuzzy back up cam...check! What do you do with a diesel PTO powered 12kW generator? Make coffee!

I was going to say...it has more to do with the liquid calcium slurry most New England states use now. May as well start pre-rusting them from the factory at this point. Doesn't stop me from using oil on my chassis. Kill the whales...save the cuck vee:!:

I was doing a little light reading in a boat book the other night. You could keep the 24c system and just use a single 24v alternator, this way you have room for the compressor. The only problem with this is you cannot draw 12v off the first battery. It makes the system out of balance during the...
