They offered me a loaner car and I said no I will drive the CUCV. If it was spring/summer, I would drive the loaner. The lines are on national back order, and I still like my new trucks more than the old ones. Comfort and a place to set my coffee cup. have a Great Day. And no, I don't need any...

I am using the 1987 M1028 CUCV as a daily driver whilst my Silverado is in getting oil cooler lines changed. One would think by now that they can make oil cooler lines that will not leak. I made my own on a few CUCV's. Have a Great Day. Be Safe.

I think the whole thing would look better with a 3-color woodland camouflage CARC paintjob. The wheel opens will need a purpose. Very unique. This is NOT CUCV related. Have a Great Day. I am doing it one day at a time. Thank you for all the positive messages and support. It means a lot to me...

New fasteners are always my go to. Good job. Stay Safe.

Where is your fuel tank skid plate?

Happy New Year to all my friends and supporters. I have a huge loss to deal with and hope to return to my hobby when I can recover from my sorrow and loss. I will just park this here and as always. Good Luck and Be Safe. Take the time to pull friends and family closer and forgive and forget...

It will not come off of advanced timing with no coolant. Good Luck. I just thought I would share an idea. That head area around them old head gaskets is going to get real stress test. Even the hoses hooked together with minimum coolant is better than a dry start up. Compression and heat are a...

Do NOT run it without a cooling system. It will get hot at the heads very fast. I had a friend that would start his classic 69 Z28 Camaro just to show us how good it sounded, and it was low on coolant unbeknownst to him, and it warped the heads. In the spring it ran so poorly, he had to have the...

This repair should hold. I had a flex plate fly apart. It is just not in the budget to do it right. I just think I will fudge it in. Happy Holidays. Now I have more money for a lift kit or stereo.

I just find it hard to believe that an electric heating element stuck in the freeze out hole is going to warm a cast iron block filled with fluid in the short time that hey mention on the current online information. I tend to believe a through heating of the block and all the coolant would take...

Back in the day I recall the GM diesel owner's manual supplement stating 8 hours minimum. However, I found this information on the internet so it must be true. Regardless of the wattage, about 75 minutes appears to be about the time the temperature rise starts leveling off, give or take 15...

I can no longer watch. Why are you cobbling this truck with unneeded modifacations? The mechanical fuel pump works and will not fail without notice. The dog head relay is only another relay that can fail just like the original relay you cut out. Besides now you have exposed positive terminals in...

That leg of the fuse box is a weak often overheated area. CUCVRUS Repair Projects | Page 17 | SteelSoldiers I have opened up the fuse box and eliminated the stock fuse holders on a few CUCV's. They have been overheated and keep getting hot over time. I replaced the light fuse and the brake...

I was out putting in extra effort to find your parts. The rear M1009 seat latch cover. Dusty but new. I was digging out Black Out switches in all variations. With dash, Without dash, With switches, without switches. Plate only. Let me know. I replaced a few dashes that someone cut with a...

Somethings are just not meant to be. Bought on Wednesday and destroyed on Saturday. Nice Ram pickup rolling coal and passing on a narrow street. Hit when parked. Hybrid Honda Accord 45MPG in the trash. They build them every day.

I had several with bad head gaskets and not leaking into the oil. CUCV head gasket / head/ or change engine survey | SteelSoldiers For your reading pleasure. Happy Holidays. The bottom ends are strong the heads and head gaskets are the weak part.

Over the years I have rebuilt many vehicles and painted many. I returned many from a certain death and saved even more for parts and salvaged everything I could. Back when I was redoing my M1009 Mule I was wanting the look that I seen on WWll German armor. I never knew how it was done until I...

The grade 5 bolt has a Minimum Tensile Strength of 120,000psi. The stainless bolt is about a grade 3.5-4. The grade 5 steel also has a higher Minimum Yield Strength. In the truck body assembling business stainless steel fasteners are weaker and the threads gall and strip easier. I would not...
