    Electrical

    I believe that is the sender unit connector for your brake pressure indicator light off of the proportioning valve. It's mounted to the front crossmember underneath the radiator, more on the driver's side. Mine isn't hooked up either, so not to worry. You'll probably find that it's too...

    Cucv purchase sight unseen, payment recommendations?

    PayPal works for me, nice and easy and free if you send it as a gift, no fees! BUT...that is if the other party has a PayPal as well. It's good but may be too many hoops for the other person to do if they don't already have a PP account. Then there is Square, but again, pretty much the same...

    Battery wiring M1009? blazer

    I hate that! When you see a thread and know a good solution, only to find out that it is 4-5 years old. Just hope the OP wasn't waiting that long for a decent answer, ha ha!!

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

    Haven't had the chance to really see. Was working on the truck and around the house all day so I'm kind of beat and don't want to go anywhere. I will check and update later.

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

    Let me see, let me see. How does the hokey pokey song go? Take 1 step forward now take 2 steps back, do the hokey pokey and curse and swear a lot, that's what it's all about, errr something like that. Okay, got some, if not all my electrical gremlins taken care of, even the ones that...

    wiper troubleshooting

    Make sure you disconnect your batteries before doing anything, especially with a wire wheel on a drill or similar. I did mine and used a small sandblaster to clean the terminals, but not sure if you have air available or a sandblaster. You'll notice that some of the terminals are vertical and...

    Why is finding this pipe such a pain ?

    I don't know much about the Mack engines, but if that pipe is that hard to find, why not have a local muffler shop make you a pipe? Back when I worked as an auto-tech, the shop I was in last had a pipe bender/former that could make flanges and reducers and all that stuff, and we weren't even a...

    M1008 Project Steel Soldiers Newbie

    Mine is too slow and hot, that's why I drive it faster and turn on the A/C (buy rolling down the windows and opening the air vents)

    CUCV Wont start

    Everytime I work on a vehicle, no matter the severity or complication, I feel that the neighbors brace themselves for a black cloud of profanity that is about to be rained upon them. To my neighbors past, present and future, I do apologize, but I need to get this work done somehow. Just bear...

    What is this plug for?

    Met Gradient of all places at the Home Depot, Nice Guy. We talked a bit and I think it started drawing attention, most everyday folks aren't used to seeing CUCV's gathering in masses, lol

    Hmmm..do you like low flying aircraft?....then here ya go!

    Just another day in San Diego. The Marines must have been practicing maneuvers, 'cause I kept seeing the F-18's taking off in pairs heading up towards 29 Palms area and the C-130 (I think) doing touch and go's or several of them taking off, not sure. I didn't stick around to see if it was the...

    M1010Plowboy, I don't know if you're a poet or a writer, but you sure make a starter removal a dramatic chain of events. :-D Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the story. [thumbzup]

    M1009 roof rack

    I want to see some pics as well. Been thinking of adding a roof rack to my 1009 for my desert treks, but really don't want to drill holes into the fiberglass top. Maybe seeing some pics of others will change my mind

    Been troubleshooting turn signals and need some help.

    I have seen issue like this in many civi cars and trucks, with ground straps missing, broken or corroded. So I'm sure it would have the same effect in MV's. It's nice when the fix is a nice simple resolution, but trying to find that resolution can drive you crazy. I always try to remember to...

    Oil/fuel additives

    I know most people that will respond will be loyal to the brand they use for whatever reason. The stuff I use is: Oil additive - Lucas oil stabilizer, but not every oil change like it is recommended, Fuel additive - Power Service Diesel Kleen with Cetane boost, again, not every fill up, but...
