    CUCV M1009: Is it 3 OR 4 Outlets for Fuel Tank Sending Unit??

    I'd try one thing before replacing it is the strap ground that connects to the sending unit to the frame...those like to rust up on both ends...the one on the frame is pretty easy to get to the one on the sender not so much...can do a voltage drop on the wire though and see if it's ok. You can...

    Mep 802A Fuel Filter leaking.

    The fees do drive me nuts sometimes...I looked at what they're doing out here in Pa and around 1200 to 2500 with or without a trailer is about average with under 500 hours...they get tons here though so I think they don't bring as much but I could be wrong on that. I only live 45 miles from the...

    M1008 Starter problems

    I use a long screwdriver or a prybar and cup the end with my hand to make a speaker that finds all kinds of noises especially when you hit a fan blade or belt...haven't lost any parts off me yet doing that but probably will someday. As far as the belt goes if the adjusting loop is maxed out...

    Another CUCV Alternator question

    That's great news! So the low gen 1 light was from the alternator...interesting. Yes batteries are one expensive part for these since they need to be big and high ca...not sure if you're around a military base but there are battery distributors near them that stock the 6tm battery if you can...

    NOCO Charger Question - MEP-803A w/Optima Red Tops

    looking at the picture above repair mode is 1.5 amps....get it on the charge mode of 7.2 amps and see if that brings it up...1.5 amps is just a float charge.

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    Today was replace the power steering pump day...new belts and return lines too. The return lines are aeroquipe blue...bled out fast and works great! That old one leaked pretty bad. Wasn't that tough to do but I wish I had a fresh resouvuior to replace it with...the old one is pretty beat up. I...

    Adding fuel tank on cucv m1028

    ok having a guage for each does make it easier to do! as far as what wire goes to what not sure. I think I see 6 wires on the plug to the fuel transfer switch...I'd have to go on a site for non cucv wiring for gm and find the schematic. I think there's a site called classic wiring?? might...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    So the madness continues as he now looks for parts we don't need...an engine that had low miles on it before it was parted out...was sad to see the blazer get scrapped but at least he got the engine out of it. The NOS block heater has been working great too. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    M1008 Starter problems

    You need to jack up the frame with the bumper not the axles...need room between the axle and frame to get it out...if you lift the axles there won't be room...I use a trail bumper jack to lift it quick on the grill guard to get them out...only takes few inches so the axles are still on the...

    Adding fuel tank on cucv m1028

    I think the fuel valve has a feed and return line for each tank so that's pretty simple...the wiring from the switch is a little more challenging if you want the fuel gauge to indicate for each tank...if you just do one tank for the gauge it would be very simple...from the switch to the valve.

    Gen 1 Dash Light

    My sons 1009 did that before his batteries pooped a few weeks ago when it was cold. New batteries and it doesn't do that anymore. Not sure if you have a battery going bad or just weak, a corroded battery cable who knows...or nothing...low idle setting would probably do it too. Neither of...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    So I've given up on these block heaters from zerostart temro and called Gm...both failed...so the parts guy takes the time to look up what gm used and found a discontinued number...996246...so a quick search found several NOS ones on Ebay...I figured I can't do any worse with a 20 year old part...

    M1008 Build

    That big ground wire you have going to the frame is that hooked to the block on the firewall or to the rear head? I don't have that big wire to the frame just a small one off the front battery. Is great to see this running! Keep that trans fluid going!! I have found dexron 3 at tractor...

    Glow Plug Wait Light Not Functioning

    that glow plug control can be confusing sometimes especially if you had it running and warmed up sometime that day...they might not come on when you think they should. Be careful with those test light leads though...might blow more than a fuse next time...tape it all up with just leaving the...

    Loss of all electrical power while driving

    That really does sound like the ignition switch. Can find out quick once you get it running tomorrow...once it is, remove the ground cable on the front battery and see if it shuts off...if the bad ground theory is valid, then it should shut off...which it shouldn't...low light output or slow or...

    NOCO Charger Question - MEP-803A w/Optima Red Tops

    I have one and it works great! I have the 803 though....one thing I found was to unplug it before you start the genset...on mine it won't make power if I do...no idea why. Other than that it works great keeping the batteries up to snuff.

    NOCO Charger Question - MEP-803A w/Optima Red Tops

    so it has a 5 amp charge or 7.2 amp agm or lithium....I can see how this charger could be kinda confusing since a 1.5 amp repair is more like a float charge...I guess they got something in these that makes that low of a charge do something.
