I also used a long Snap-On pry bar to adjust and get the body centered on the mounts. I used a ratchet strap on the rear frame to hold the body over while I replaced the right rear mount. That mount took me 2 hours to get in but now I am a pro at it. Live and learn. No cursing took place only...

I am going to complete my job that I started last year. I started at the right front cab mount. My advice is to remove the old bolts and clean the threads very well in the cab. Use a tap or a new bolt and grease and oil. Run it in and out of the captured can nut till you can thread it with your...

OK. I will reship. No worries. It is an easy come easy go part. Besides I will get it shipped out next week. I received a fuel pump for a John Deere tractor. Not in my name but my address. I looked on Facebook and found a few people within the local area with that name. No report back. A few...

I was not talking body off restoration. I was talking getting the body up high enough to gain access to the current rear body mounts. Depending on rusted fasteners that can be a real chore. I use winches on the ceiling and bottle jacks to lift and shift the body around. A ratchet strap helps a...

You may as well make a gantry and lift the body off the frame.

I use seatbelts. They are everywhere and last longer than any other material I ever used. Seatbelts are good for many things besides holding your arse in the seat. I have some I have hooks sewn into and have used to pull engines on smaller vehicles.

I don't think it needs re-cored. I think it needs repaired but if a good repair shop was to remove the tanks and clean the core, they would be able to repair that radiator. Good Luck. I bought that at Auto Zone. It was a lifetime warranted radiator.

Go to the hardware store and get a brass fitting that that sensor fits into. I had to adapt that coolant sensor on a few radiators already. But like I said. It never ends. Stay Cool.

Out for more Fun in the Sun. I have big plans today. Hopefully they come together. Take Care and stay hydrated. I hope to have progress to report. I mean I could be hand sanding a lot of small parts. Could be. More later.

Never done it. Glad I never did. May I recommend if this is happening you have other issues. Hard starting vehicle and low amperage batteries. That is the only time it ever happened to any CUCV I know. And I have seen Fords and other vehicles with a HD solenoid relay do the same thing. Ever see...

Did you find the delivered package?

It just never ends. I am thinking about how you will mount that threaded low coolant sensor into a barbed pipe nipple. I suggest you cut the threaded pipe connection and place it in a 5/8" hose just long enough to connect the hose to the barbed connection and the treaded connection together. You...

I might know a guy that has a few of these. Try Hillbilly Wizard and then I can look. I know I have them. I am slow and unresponsive at times, but eventually I get it done. Have a Great Weekend.

Check out this guy in apartment 201. He may have your bolts.

Surplus 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe K1500 4x4 SUV in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, United States (GovPlanet Item #7161409) I am guessing this will sell for less than the M1009. If it does it is the better buy. It runs and drives. That is always a +. Let's watch see if it brings $2500. It would look good...

This is vehicle related and involves my job. At work someone entered the property overnight and removed exhaust components with a Sawzall. These were geniuses. They had access to over 500 gasoline truck chassis and made way with the first 18 trucks closest to the rear railroad gate. I went to...

I will elaborate later. I am tired and going to shower and rest. I start work at 0500.

Surplus 1986 Chevrolet D10 Blazer SUV in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, United States (GovPlanet Item #7111454) I am beyond words. WOW. I have scrapped a fortune 20 years ago.

Don't do it man.

Another potential transmission leak on the stock CUCV. The kick down switch. It is sealed with an O ring. 3 prongs hold it in the case. The transmission pan must be off to gain access. O ring And just a parting shot of the transfer case output shaft with the splined rubber that I think is a...
