I used the aluminum covered roof patch stuff on my fuel tank when I had it out and repainted it. It makes great padding for where the original tarred felt was. I also put it around the sides as a chip and salt spray guard. Went strong all winter.

I'd question your battery connections. At the batteries, at the firewall, at the starter and at any grounds. Might as well clean every connection you can find under the hood, big and small. Use star washers and di-electric grease. If your headlight plugs are original you might want to...

Do you have power coming out of the relay when it is activated? A simple test light will tell. Then test at the plug terminals. Is everything clean? The terminals corrode quick on the firewall of both CUCV's I've owned. It pays to disassemble, clean, use fresh star washers and di-electric...

I understand about wanting to know what you have under it. Having found the two cracks, I'd just check for other similar area's that are known to have issues. I'd leave the rest and spend my time pulling apart an inner tube if you feel the need. I just did my interior, floor, back wall, door...

Just did mine. 2 broke. Had to pull the injectors above them and push the broken tips back in. Then used a long forceps to get them out. A plus of a lifetime myself and my wife being in the medical field is odd tools and free latex gloves. My nicest sharpening stone is an old scalpel honing...

Warmer fuel starts easier.

Go the "No light" blues. All day and no joy. Tested everything (that I thought of). All the fuseable links, the fuses, the 2-way switch. I've no power to the lighting portion of the fuse box. What would prevent getting power to the fuse box? I've no power at the headlight switch nor the...

Curiosity. Wouldn't an old school speedo just be cool?

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.

Pink and black, w/ the switch. There is a small black plug under the column. It grounds the wait light and has power from the switch.

A sledge works wonders. Hit it straight on, like your trying to drive it in further.

When I bought a hitch awhile, class 4, and brought it home, it used all the same mounting as what was used by the Army already for their brackets. I took it back and welded a bumper hitch to the bumper. I've towed a Camaro on a trailer rated for a bulldozer "Heavy square steel frame", worked...

I have used two of the eebbaayy ones, they have been spot on.

Turned out to be a different circuit board. The glow plug one was tucked above the fuse box. Makes better sense as to why it was wired like was.

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...

I add 2 ounces w/ every tank. As said ATF also works. It cleans the system. The first couple times it can plug your filter as it loosens crud in the tank and lines. It will also clean the injectors and just as importantly, lubricate your injector pump. Newer diesel does not keep our older...

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?

Oh, and keep a spare fuel filter on hand.

Run 2-stroke oil with your diesel.

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