    Yes, that! I know where it is, not the color specifically. :D

    Yikes. I can't help but think it would have been faster and cheaper to pull the green wire off the IP.

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

    The rain finally stopped so I was able to get under the hood and attack the cracked power steering pump bracket. Out here in WA, it's warm in the winter when it's raining, but once the clouds clear off it gets freaking cold; so I bundled up. I suspect the cracks are from the stress caused by...

    I gave the HF pulley puller kit a whirl in the garage this afternoon on the spare pump/bracket. The right tool makes the job a lot easier! Hoping tomorrow I can get a break in the rain to swap the spare bracket into the truck and get it back on the road. I'll get the cracked one welded again...

    Steering Pump Puller

    Yikes, the fleet is down to one operable vehicle! I need to get the power steering pump pulley off; will this set from HF work? https://www.harborfreight.com/pulley-remover-and-installer-set-12-pc-63068.html

    Heat Blower Bogging the Electrical?

    Yes, yes there is! By some stroke of weird luck I noticed the bracket in the first picture, below, and asked what it was in another thread. This was a weird bracket facing up with a curved adjustment slot. Then I looked through the -20 and noticed it was supposed to be facing the front (not...

    That may be the problem. On my truck Bracket 11 in the figure is on the pump but isn't being used. Bracket 9 is facing upwards as shown in the photo above. Bolt 7 was never installed since I've had the truck. What the heck?

    The bracket in the picture is down way too low to be associated with the power steering. In fact you can see the power steering bracket in the left side of the puicture. The bracket I'm seeing is way down by the motor mount.

    Heat Blower Bogging the Electrical?

    It just keeps getting worse. The bolt did not back out- it broke. I drilled it out easily without removing the pump. I had a couple bolts that fit the hole so no problem there. The bracket is cracked... AGAIN. This time it cracked at the center slotted adjustment hole. Right now only one...

    Does anyone know what this bracket is? It's down in front of the left motor mount- has a curved slot in it. Hard to see clearly in the picture, but it's inside the white circle.

    Heat Blower Bogging the Electrical?

    Well, it has nothing to do with the blower whatsoever. I checked both alternator belts and they're tight, but on a whim I poked the PS belt and it was loose as a goose. Seems the outboard-most bolt unscrewed itself and departed the fix. The washer was still laying on the frame rail oddly...

    Air cleaner components-necessary?

    Are you talking about the air filter and assembly, or the snorkel hose that runs to the firewall? The air filter and the assembly that holds it in place is absolutely necessary. The snorkel is not. It is on the civilian vehicles primarily to quiet the sucking sound that the engine creates...

    Heat Blower Bogging the Electrical?

    This morning I drove the M1009 to work like always, only today I was getting a lot of belt squeal, and eventually the belt was squealing all the time. In the parking lot I tried a few things and it seems to be isolated to the heater blower. When it's on, the voltmeter is just into the low...

    ALT + 0188 = ¼ ALT + 0189 = ½ ALT + 0190 = ¾ You have to use the number pad not the row of numbers at the top of the keyboard.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Drove up to Ikea again. The trailer means I don't have to own a pickup truck. :driver:
