I've got and saved those, though not in color, so that helps. A, looking for engine bay photo's with arrows and replacement specs. I'd like to put in either slow burn fuses or circuit breakers.
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?
Honestly, just two harbor freight black rubber utility lights. Super bright and look good too. They are powered from the same relay as the hi beams. Install two relays, inside the cab is better. Use the existing hi - low beam wires from the dimmer switch to control the relays. Use a hot...
Fresh oil and filter post over-heat.
Heater core. Fixed two broken heater plastic box bolts.
Going to do the trans filter and fluid today.
List so far, I think:
Front axle joints
Packed hubs and bearings
Greased
Belts
Heater hoses
2 ga. Batt. cables
HMMWV batt clamps
Aux. front lights w/...
Took the freeze plug heater out and swapped the crappy, undersize bolt out for a allen head cap screw that fit right. Re-installed it and have fingers crossed.
Kats freeze plug heater let loose again. Really heated the engine this time as the thing dumped the fluid under the truck and I didn't know. Hoping, but don't know yet, that everything survived. Sweating about cracked heads, cooked transmission, ruined water pump. Ran ok in the yard.
Put in a freeze plug heater. Tightened to spec and went to work. I put it back in this am, at work. Tightened it in and the bolt stripped. Drove it home with water in it and it held. Drained and filled with coolant, seems ok. Replaced the t-stat, still sucky heat. Have had the core out...
I'll be putting in a freeze plug heater, done it before, and an oil pan magnetic heater, also no big deal. What I am wondering about is also putting in a circulating heater. Other than putting a tap into the lower radiator hose, is their another point I can use for the lower hose?
New front axle u-joints. Had to buy 2 special tools to get to them. and cut the old ones out on a cut off saw with the trigger clamped, fun.
Rewired the batt. cables with the new batt. terminals.
Try a process of elimination. Find a small boat type fuel tank made of red plastic usually. Fill with diesel and connect it directly to the fuel pump. Does it work now? If not, test the fuel pump with a standard fuel pump tester, actually a vacuum / pressure tester available about everywhere...
Read through your post. I've owned two cucv's now. Both need to be revved to get the gen light to go out. The volt gauge will drop while your glow plugs cycle, then will climb for a moment while the batts get re-charged. A belt squeel while the plugs cycle is common as well. If you do...
