    2600mile recovery :)

    You get another one of those, its pretty easy to pick the pieces out of the grill. They don't hold together well.... Really glad to hear the trip is going well. Try and post some landmark photos as your travels go on.

    Trying to hang in here on new updates

    I second that. When you have a disagreement with other leadership, you meet in private, hammer it out, wipe off the blood and provide a united front. That's the way I learned it in 20 years with Uncle Sam. A public debate like this is uncomfortable for most, and unproductive for all. Just my HO.

    Man I would have taken the chance on the ticket for no tail lights on the trailer if I had known you had that in the house when I was there......

    Damaged CUCV Rebuild

    Thanks! The console is stock K5 blazer from u-pull it parts. 15 bucks and works perfect. And the gray color just ties nice with the replacement dash pad that was already in there.

    M1009 Civi Electrical Trailer Connection Harness Questions

    I made some weatherpac adapters. It was really easy. Just grab your test light, and turn each item on (turns, TL ) and verify the pins that are active.

    Damaged CUCV Rebuild

    Well here is the parts donor. I already pulled the doors off which were real nice. Next is glass and both roofs. Yes the visor is going bye-bye! I am not keeping the 37" "Hummer" tires either. Only 3 are real good, the fourth is bald.

    Damaged CUCV Rebuild

    So here are the pictures after the wind came up and blew a tree that was falling back about 160 deg :sad: I have picked up a parts truck from CL the same day :D with everything I need and some extra to sell. My plan is to cut the roof off at the "A" and "B" pilliars and weld on the new pieces...

    Protecting cleaned and installed Bolts... advice

    My boss just told me about coating them with vaseline. It doesn't come off in rain and such, and only need to do every couple years. He has never had a rusty bolt on his trucks, just takes a couple hours every couple years. Haven't tried it yet, but I am going to.

    Ether start system...... Refill Process?

    Mine has a dash plaque with very specific instructions: Press and hold for 3 seconds, wait 3 seconds and start. Is your dash plaque missing?
  20. wheelspinner

    My truck was stuck at the beach & I can't get it started.

    I would be very careful using ether on the 6.2 engine. Bad things can happen. There is even a warning label not to use it on the air cleaner...unless I am missing something. I had a very similiar problem and my sons buddy showed me a trick. Take an air blow gun with a rag around it and add a...
