    Thermostat: what is normal operation

    I hope the OP doesn’t mind if I piggyback on his question, but I suspect my thermostat might need replacing. Here’s what I'm experiencing: - Little or no pressure under the cap. After an hour of driving I can take the cap off without getting a coolant shower. - After a long drive up in the...

    Auxiliary light opinions/pics

    Here are my no-welding required mounting brackets. You'll need two right-angle brackets per, so six for each light bucket or 12 total.

    Auxiliary light opinions/pics

    My lightbar is a converted Whelen Edge 9000 with the cop strobes removed and HIDs in the reflector cups. It's very bright and does a great job of lighting up the entire area around and in front and sides of the truck, but they take about 30 seconds to warm up. I've considered taking the bar...

    Stanadyne FM100 fuel management system upgrade

    I used teflon tape, although I have since heard a reasonable argument against using it- stray bits can get into the IP and make life miserable. I'm not sure why the stuff in the can is better; couldn't it also get into the IP? Anyway, mine is still together and working great, and this thread...

    Stanadyne FM100 fuel management system upgrade

    Wow, I really don't remember any more. I took the filter head with me to home depot and test fit each fitting before I went to the register.

    No Lights

    Find the wiring diagram and see if there's a fusible link somewhere?

    M1009 Tailgate crank

    ^^^^ I was thinking the same thing. I always assumed it was called a clutch because it was designed to be the weak link in the system- to protect something more expensive and/or more difficult to repair.

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

    Popped the roof-top tent open in the driveway so it could sit in the sun and dry out. It got a little damp during last week's rainstorms and it needs to get put in the garage for the winter. Unbolted it from the roof-rack rails and hefted it down to the tailgate, then down to the ground...

    Running power tools off the slave port?

    This. Using the 24V port (or the bus-bar), or an air compressor on the engine, or an inverter means your 6.2 diesel will be running the whole time. Excess wear and tear of the motor and electrical system, noise, stink, etc…. to cut lumber or drill holes? How is that better than cordless or...

    M1009 Radiator, civilian equivalent

    I ask because the “coming soon” three-row has been removed from the page, so I don’t think it’s coming soon….or ever. My rad was leaking a year ago and I patched it with some stop leak, hoping it would hold me over until the three-row showed in stock. Since that’s not going to happen, and I...

    M1009 Radiator, civilian equivalent

    Well somebody riled up the folks at Genesis. :D I’ve been checking that webpage almost daily for over a year waiting for the three-row radiator to show in stock (we have very different ideas as to the definition of the word ‘soon’). Now the three-row is gone completely. The overall thickness...

    truck still giving me problems.

    I had a Ford Courier truck that had a similar problem. Turn the wheel and the steering would not return to center on its own, you had to help it back. In other words, if you turned the wheel and let go, it would keep going in circles no matter the speed. So I'm in this tight parking spot...
