    Weird Glowplug Resistor Bypass Issue

    The afterglow is to keep temps in cylinders up until sustained combustion is assured. When it’s really cold outside, engine has a chance of stalling and quitting without afterglow.

    Tire Paint Removal

    Looks like a spray paint can cap showing it’s color is flat black. Spray painting tires. Interesting.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Did the blue Loctite fail to hold them? You might regret using the red when it’s time for removal. Especially in such a hard to reach location.

    Installed new Copper/Brass Radiator in M1008A1

    Thanks for the link. They only used one of my pictures. The one with the factory label with part number. The rest were not taken by me.

    Tire Paint Removal

    A lot of chemicals will break down the rubber over time. It soaks in and while rubber appears to be clean and dry on the outside, it’s is not. Slowly breaking down the rubber from within and leading eventually to failure. This was a problem in helicopter transmission and other critical...

    CDR Valve Hose

    His CDR valve isn’t the issue. Those are easy to find right now. The hard to find rubber hose is. Cucvrus will fix him up with the correct part.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    While rarely needed, I always buy the “E” rated tires. Except on wife’s car. Their not available. Extra belts and plys are insurance to me. Installing new set of Michelin’s on the conversion van this Tuesday. They will be E rated. They handle the heat and load so much better. Gives me...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    That trailer is a perfect match for that truck. Keep the surge brakes maintained and you’ll hardly notice it’s back there. Have you already checked bearings, seals, etc?

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    It’s not getting the trailer going. A Prius can do that. It’s stopping and handling. Chevy pickup is larger and heavier than an Xterra. Better able to handle trailer weight, but stopping still an issue with no trailer brakes. Using something as small and light as an Xterra is just begging...

    M939 wiper blades

    ANCO still makes them. Installed a new set a few weeks ago. Comes with new hardware. Can’t find the part number now.

    LED Head light upgrade. ....

    That’s why Truck-Lite offers them with heating elements in the Front. They popped up briefly in the 5x7’s, then disappeared. I think the only offering right now is the 7” round light. Haven't looked since I installed mine.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Only two? 4 minimum in town. 6 off-road. (Or in my case flying cross country). Better to have and not need....than need and not have.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Towing a M105 with an Xterra at 70?! You love playing with Fire that’s for sure.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    You absolutely get what you pay for in tires. I will have a look at the Goodyear’s you mentioned. Michelin doesn’t make the tire I want in the size I want so I’m shopping now.
