How much of an amp draw does the 12v feed draw at max? IE. How much is the most current going through the wire from the front battery to the 12v connector with the glow plugs running on the same circuit? Also, if a component has a separate ground, ie. a ground wire and no ground through its'...

Anyone had any luck plugging LED bulbs into the factory light sockets

How do these system work? Is there a wire diagram? I want to make sure mine work.

Is a speedometer form the 40's, 50's 60's etc, able to work in our trucks? Seems I remember some screwing onto the backs of the speedometers, and I've no clue about connecting to the transmission.

Had to remove my STE port today to mount some gauges there while updating my starter relay. I followed the wires and cut those that did not go anywhere other than the fire wall. The glow plug board was wired in with splices, and I cut those that went to the port and dead ended. Lastly, there...

Got a short somewhere Even without the front battery grounded I'm finding a short that traces to three different wires going into my firewall. Called it quiet's for the night at that. I think it sounds like the ignition switch and will try unplugging that first. What else would it be?

I had civy heads put on my vehicle when the o.e. ones cracked. Does it likely need the injector pump adjusted or anything.

4 of 8 glow plugs were swollen inside a week after they were installed. My mechanic was looking for a removal tool. I got sick of waiting and pulled them myself, sort of. Passenger side back two are stuck. One broke with the tip stuck in the hole. Will engine compression blow it out? How...

Been in about a month. Went to pull one to see what the mechanic put in, and it hung up, tried the next, same. Now what? On an aside, was rolling around under it, cut out six inches of exhaust pipe on each side and installed flex pipe to allow the pipes to mate to the manifolds right. I've...

It is longer to start. A lot longer when cold. Also, a lot of grey smoke, ?unburnt fuel, once started. I will swap out the mechanic supplied glow plugs for the Dura-Term ones I bought. Any other suggestions? History: This is the engine that over heated due to the Katz heater defective bolt...

First, I need a high idle temp sensor. Mine has a large, round connection on the top. Located drivers side, rear, top of head / block. Second, Starter bracket.

Complete engine I bought was seized, so the heads on it were used on my block. Got a little crankcase pressure now, but it runs good. Now I have an injector pump, injectors, water pump, fuel pump, exhaust manifolds, oil pump, timing gears, cam, lifters, and all that under foot. I'll likely put...

Going to add, (I hope), a water temp, an oil temp, a transmission temp, and an oil pressure gauge. Any idea's where I can plumb in the sensors and keep the dummy lights?

Just wondering who else is around.

Can we have a "pay it forward" stcky for the CUCV's? It is where free stuff is offered, if you take something, you put something up of use to a cucv owner. You can list before you take something as well. Also a "I will trade my ____ for_____" sticky would be nice, though not as likely to happen.

Were the early, 1982, 6.2l's an alright engine? Did they have known issues?

Well, it's official. Coolant rises when it's running and flows out, heat goes hot and cold. ****, looks like heads at least, or just as simple to swap in an engine. Transmission seems alright. Engine starts and runs good. Exhaust is clear once warm. Hate to do it, but gonna dump in some...

I'm sure I'll get lambasted for daring to ask... Can we get a photo "map" showing the locations, what it protects and ratings of the fuseable links in the engine bay?

I've been on the look out for parts for a cucv or similar 6.2l. Having no luck. Anyone got any leads in the Boonville, Utica, Rome area?

I just put an LMC 190 degree thermostat in, and am still getting cool air and heater hoses. Are the LMC thermostats the right one?
