I let some air in the last time I was bleeding the brakes. Once you get a big air pocket in there it compresses and your pedal pushing becomes significantly less effective. My wife's leg was getting tired. I pulled the vacuum pump set-up out of the garage and plugged it in. Positioned the...

I just added a line in from the 12V bus bar above the GP relay- with a fuse of course.

I'm confused. In your first post you say the Temp light (which is red and traditionally means STOP) came on "for a while" and today's post implies it ran fine for two days after the Temp light incident. I asked if the motor was even rotational because you seemed to be saying it was running...

Put a socket wrench on the crankshaft pulley and see if you can rotate the engine. Pull the GPs out and that’ll be easier.

There's already a lot going on up on my roof. :wink: So today I used an old Ram-Mount I had around to mount a small sized clipboard to the center console for note taking. Then I finished wiring the inverter. I cut the connecting strip on the 24v bus bar so the first two posts are still...

It's a mil piece, I'll look and see if I can find the vendor and PM you the details.

Here's a few more pics of the 2 meter radio install: The antenna in the picture is a temp one- I have a Larsen 2 meter antenna with the spring waiting to go on as soon as I can find someone to tune it for me. It’s mounted on an 18” aluminum mast extension which is sitting on the standard...

A trooper at the ferry terminal this morning feigned interest in the truck but he really wanted to let me know that the off-road lights on the grille needed to be covered. He didn't write a ticket or anything just wanted to let me know. On my drive down there a red SUV in front of me pulled...

Just a note: not all CUCVs have rust. I live in rainy Washington and mine has no rust-through at all, not even close.

Reach over the top and yank the shifter back. Even when you go all the way to 4XLow the handle is only straight up.

After too long with the siren controller attached to the side, and the lighting control panel on the back of my Chevy center console, and now that the Orion radio is installed, I needed to get the cop center console installed. That would also get the wiring cleaned up as well (and there's a lot...

What's grounding the lights? I see a single wire going in for the power, but I don't see any ground.

I had a Ranger pickup that did this off and on. Some days it would start just fine, others, it acted like the battery was dead. Take it in for a test and it's fine again. Turns out the battery had a loose plate that would short out the battery internally- sharp turn or bump in the road would...

I'm far from an expert on these trucks, but I would try either pushing fuel from the tank or pulling with a vacuum pump. I don't think the short throw of the mechanical fuel pump can pull fuel through completely drained lines.

Yeah, I don't think he's going to like that.

LOL, oh right! That filter is thrown to the back of the garage somewhere.

Here's some pictures of mine: That glow plug fusible link is no longer running through there.

What instructions?

Fiddled around a little with my M1009. Does anyone know what this is for? Should it be hanging loose like it is? I looked through the manuals but I don't see mention of it. Four pin plug back by the bell housing and trans dipstick:
