For $35, get the genuine GM cylinder from RockAuto.

Anybody got a pic of the bracket installed on the starter in place on the truck? I believe my bracket's missing, but I'm not even sure where it's supposed to be. The previous owner had the starter rebuilt and it's not a stretch to assume the tech threw it away.

Looked up the doghead mod and didn't find the original post. Seems like it must have been posted more than 15 years ago. I did find a post referring to it and it directed me to look up this part specifically. It's listed at 12v, 300 amp. Is this correct? https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/SME7018601

Slaughtered the budget this month ordering this bumper with a jerry can carrier. Made to order and turnaround is lengthy, so I have time to think about what I've done. If anybody's got an extra M1009 wheel, let me know. Hillbilly Wizard is asking more than I want to spend for a matching spare...

I always thought CUCVRUS was supposed to read like Toys-R-Us for CUCVs, but it's entirely possible we're both wrong.

Glad you got that sorted quick fast. I've never regretted swapping for an Oshkosh milsurp spin-on. If you insist on keeping original, I've a filter mount in better shape that I'm never going to use again.

Just R&R the cylinder. The ignition doesn't match the door locks, so it's no big deal. They're like ten bucks.

Hope your transmission's done and running great. Nice work on the bumper. I could definitely go for a front receiver hitch and winch mount, but how's the approach angle?

I live in a sandbox. Cats crap in sandboxes. I live in a cat box. I often forget this. I was reminded of this today. Face first. Immediately lost interest in my motor mounts. Another time.

Old barn's got more amps than my house.

Hey, thanks! No wonder I never missed it. Glad to know I don't need to worry about it.

Yeah, I'm bummed too. I was just starting to think about a GEP because of this build. Hopefully something can be worked out with the vendor.

765R4 sounds sweet. I had to look it up. Check that pinned thread on CUCV hot rodding before hooking up the kickdown cable, and PM sent!

Turned out I couldn't find any at all except for a guy on eBay sitting on a pile of surplus NOS and asking $300 apiece. At that price, I got into my junk box, pulled one off a seized DB2, and tried it out. Worked great, and I liked the price a lot better.

What's the news? They better warranty that thing out at 3500 miles.

Was really looking forward to how cheap parts would be on a truck that has had overstock sitting on shelves for decades all over the world. Also, in case anybody wondered, the black plastic vacuum doodad on the side of your injector pump is GM #14057219 aka NSN #4820-01-158-6836. Nobody is...

Did the rear springs today. Nuts and bolts are 7/8" and 13/16". U-bolt nuts are 15/16". Reused the original hardware because it was fine. Finally replaced the last shock. I was stalling on it because I didn't want to drop the tank, but we just cut the bolt off this morning. Suspension is all...

Decided to skip working on the truck this morning and took it out instead. Had it in 4L a couple times and found that it's perfectly comfortable doing things that I'm not. At a trail washout, there was a spot with broken glass and bumpers lying on the ground. Some people really tore their...

This morning I went to R&R the last bushing on the front springs. Passenger side shackle top. Started tapping it out and found that it backs into the bank 2 exhaust. Looked up at those three nuts on the collector. Thought about how they've heat cycled a thousand times and rust has been...
