    CUCV Locking Fuel Cap

    I got one of those deuce fuel sieve cones, cut the hard ring off, bent it back on itself so it could squeeze through the CUCV cap thread (with 'help') - now the sieve stops foreign objects as well as siphon hoses. Reduces some of the foaming as well. Could be removed with time effort and a...

    m1009 reverse lights not working

    any times the fastest thing to do (after checking the fuse and bulbs) is get a new switch and adjust it properly. If still no light, THEN spend time on the wiring.

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

    set up towbar - added some 2" rubber collars from a plumbing store (shortened 1/4") to keep the super fine dust on the Res out of the tube sliding area. Also rests nicely against the bush bar when raised. Fixed the feet with shortened 1" Gr 8 bolts (ground head flat on one side to fit) and self...

    Other boost options

    Has anyone tried two smaller turbo's (one per side) to reduce the turbo lag/get boost at lower RPM's? Or a blower - again for lower RPM power? Or a blower/turbo combo (with a wastegate natch)? Also curious as to how hard it is ($$) to safely prep engine for boost over 10 (safely) and where...

    1008 Wheel Stud Size

    not trying to hijack - but what are the bearing weight limits on the D60 Kingpin and D70HD axles? I keep reading 4500# GAWR on the D60 - so 2250# with no safety factor, but also have heard up to 7800# with 5000#, 5500# and 6000# also tossed around (snowplow's etc). For the D70HD 10,000# with, as...

    1008 Wheel Stud Size

    not quite - D60 DRW front hubs = 77" WMS, Dana70 DRW rear = 73.5" WMS - I had to add 1.75" spacers to each side in the rear to get the same track width. But would like to know the part numbers for front studs that are longer - 5/8" ideally. And if the stud holes needed driling out a bit in the...

    Sticking Voltmeter Guage

    everyone is talking about a resistor. WHAT RESISTOR? Before my gauge died it worked great in proper range etc - and no resistor on the back, just a white plastic molding used to retain the gauge in the panel.

    Battery relocation with turbo

    Bend up new spacer bracket that mounts to the front fender that is an inch or two shorter (closer to the outside) and space the battery tray up as far as possible without arcing on the hood (longer bolts at the bottom where it is mounted and spacers). This should move it up and outwards from the...

    CUCV alternator symptoms, diagnosis and fix.

    Yep - and good to know. My point was not with bulbs so much as the potential confusion with including only the gen 2 bulb circuit - and only half of that, on E/F-4
