    Abduction of Elmo

    Actually he is not headed North. I spotted him in the back window of a PRIUS with TEXAS plates on WB I-10, going through Lafayette...He had the look of "Please help me, I'm gonna be BBQ soon" on his face! I couldn't keep up, otherwise I woulda run the scoundrel off the road and retrieved Elmo!

    What do your neighbors and other drivers think of your CUCV

    Don't do anything to attract attention in the CUCV or the Deuce, but they do attract attention, especially when they see the daughter driving it.:mrgreen: Only 'problem' with the police is a local marshall. The state, parish (county), and the locals all give me the high 5 and keep on going. All...

    truck pulls to right when braking

    Going to a brake shop might help, they have a power bleeder that some of the 'parts swappers' don't have. I agree with one of the lines ballooning/collapsing on the inside, it has happened to me. It was a bear to find, until I realized that they are hoses and they need to be replaced every once...

    SAE or Metric???

    Don't think either are better than the other, just a pain when they are mixed...as in a CUCV... And if your working with older equipment, an adjustable spanner works great on acme thread and square nuts, although they make sockets for the squares.

    Dry cut metal saw question

    Friend of mine has a fab shop and has several of them. The first one was almost given to him by our supplier, after using it the first day, he bought several and even take them on the job site.

    Shock Replacement How To?

    :ditto: Jacking up the front frame rail does help get the shocks in, remember you are compressing the shock and trying to stab the bolt at the same time. Never did the rears this way, but could not hurt. Might want to paint the shocks 383 before install to help them match the truck colour...

    what do you use for outback comms?

    If in the mountains, remember that Marine VHF is line of sight. Also, unless you are around the coast or frequently travels water routes, you will be talking to no one. Best thing to use would be a portable SAT unit or a HAM band set up. You also might consider getting a personal 406M EPIRB...

    Reommend change all fluids

    That's your call, but I would suggest changing all filters and fluids. That way you will have the piece of mind of knowing what you have and/or finding anything wrong. While your at it, you need to do a complete PMS on the beast... The filter kit is in our classifieds.

    Reverse Curve Front Spring Set?

    The reverse curve on the GMs are normal. If you are that concerned, you can either purchase new ones or have the old ones re-arched.

    Steering Pump Bracket Source

    The bracket is not available from GM anymore. Best thing to do is remove it and weld the tab back on. You also might want to add a light guage 'backer' when your welding it, make it stronger. I've had to do this before, not fun! Good Luck!
