    Is there a new led headlight for the cucv

    If I'm reading that correctly it's $600 per lamp, sold individually. So $1200 for a set. The price of LED's is just insane these days, don't believe what they say about 'production costs', while there is a grain of truth there is also a huge mark-up. I picked up a set of sealed replacement...

    Request for GP replacement assistance - Police Involved

    You mentioned that you cycle the plugs with the ignition off. Not to familiar with them in that respect, but I always cycle them with ignition on. I turn ignition on (heater fan/radio etc. off) then I watch the volt meter to see the draw when I cycle them. Once in a while they will fail to cycle...

    6.5 detuned to a 6.2

    All engines today are 'detuned'. What happens is an engine is designed/assembled/tuned, then it goes through a process of detuning to meet emissions and economy standards. In this case, I have no idea why they would have a 6.5 detuned in such a manner? I think someone may be using the term...

    Request for GP replacement assistance - Police Involved

    There are two problems with ether. 1) Lack of cylinder lubrication if fuel is not present. 2) Glow plugs causing it to ignite prematurely. If your glow plugs are set up on the stock controller, you have to disable them first. If your plugs are wired on a manual switch, you simply do not use...

    To lift a M1009

    No doubt, I'm looking at the same kit. ORD's options are over 1k. I'm not realy interested in a shackle flip, my rear springs have that "used and abused" look to them. So I'm looking at the kit you describe, and then finding a set of 4" lift rear springs for a decent price ..... ...

    Any pneumatic impact wrench recommendations?

    Ah, the yoke nut... I know that one well. Unfortunately I've never had the pleasure of removing one in the garage, it usually takes place out on the road somewhere. I've found the easiest way is a 1/2" breaker bar with a 6 foot fence post on it braced against the ground, then you hook up tow...

    Pic thread? Looking for m1009's with minimal lift.

    Yeah that offset is intended to increase traction and stability. The wider front axle for stability, and the more narrow rear axle is to allow the rear tires to bite fresh terrain instead of trudging in the front's rut. To me it's one of those things that don't look so bad knowing it's purpose...

    Poll - Who has done the Doghead Relay Conversion

    Was going to mention something along this line myself... Just did the mod today, everything went perfectly. I talked to a guy locally who knew a couple people that had thier relays fuse on them. CUCV's are not exactly common around here, so to hear that realy drove home how probable it was...

    M1009 stereo install

    Do they make an under-dash enclosure? Who retails them? All I've been able to find are in-dash, or in-console kits. I was only able to go 2 days without tunes. I picked up a stereo and a couple 6.5 speakers for basics. When I get some daylight on the weekend I'll be setting it all up. As a...
