    Putting a stereo and speakers in a CUCV pickup

    The 6x9s are on the rear fenderwells. Theres quite a bit of speaker wire attached so I can have them on the roof or just outside anywhere. I had to bend up the lip where the fiberglass topper sits. They just kind of wedge in there until I pop them out for camp outs and barbques. I was going to...

    Smokes a tiny bit from the oil cap...normal?

    When you take the cap off and shake it, it should rattle. It vents and when the cap doesnt allow for venting something bad happens. Cant remember what. Replace it or clean it up if its not rattling. I honestly wouldnt think anything of it having a little whisp though.

    Gen 1 light

    A quick reminder... You may not know this but I didnt realize it till one of the guys on here told me. The light bulbs in those GEN sockets have to be good or they wont charge anything. Dilvoy, can I get a ruling on that?

    Putting a stereo and speakers in a CUCV pickup

    I left my hole cover plate on the console. I didnt want to have the local contingent of thugs getting my radio goodies. Anyway heres what I did to put some tunes into my CUCV Blazer (same could be done for the pick-up): I ran a main power wire off the front battery + to a small 4-way fused...

    CUCV Wont accelerate Wont rev in neutral until RPMs creep up

    ITS ALIVE!! ITS ALIVE!!! After hooking up a aux fuel tank w/ the same symptoms I moved on to the next possible cure. I found the return line on the top of the injection pump and took off the hose. I forget what size socket it takes but I removed the "fitting" or "return line injector" (not sure...

    CUCV Wont accelerate Wont rev in neutral until RPMs creep up

    Took the last couple of days off. My daughter's birthday and memorial day dictated family time be made a prioity. I plan on adding an extension piece of fuel line and running it into a fresh batch of fuel. The majority of steel line going back into the tank looks good with little surface rust...

    CUCV Wont accelerate Wont rev in neutral until RPMs creep up

    Which arm of that IP octopus do I have to get it? I assume I dont have to take the pump or the intake off to do this.Anyone have a step by step idea how? I aint skeered to do it but would like to have a good idea as to how. Im under the impression that these pumps are a bit pricey when it comes...

    CUCV Wont accelerate Wont rev in neutral until RPMs creep up

    So after all the CRAP of changing the lift pump it still does the same thing. It was working well for a few minutes. I drove it around the block and as I did things began getting worse. The symptoms began manifesting where as I pushed down on the accelerator the lesser the response. On start...

    CUCV Wont accelerate Wont rev in neutral until RPMs creep up

    I don't get frustrated easy but guys... This repair job sucked and I'm still not done. I rerouted the the new line from the lift pump thru the motor valley and up in between the manifold and to the fuel filter base. The fuel system was pretty much together and I still had 1 alt on so I cranked...

    seized motor and some Q's

    RE: seized motor and some Q If your in need of a parts CUCV momma said mine needs to move. The body is rusty but the motor runs. You would need to trailer it since the tires are flat and the brakes need work.

    CUCV Wont accelerate Wont rev in neutral until RPMs creep up

    Replaced filter and nothing really changed. Looks like the accelerator cable moves freely. It ran alright for a bit but the longer it ran the worse it seemed to idle. Im wondering if I didnt get some really bad fuel. Water lite never came on. More tomorrow Thanx alot guys

    CUCV Wont accelerate Wont rev in neutral until RPMs creep up

    Vaccuum seems fine. I replaced the filter with the one off the parts truck and got SOME power back temporarily but it started losing power again. Think I'll go to NAPA and get a new filter anyway. I cant imagine why it would start sucking in air all the sudden. Something somplace may have...

    CUCV Wont accelerate Wont rev in neutral until RPMs creep up

    PLEEZ>>> NO INJECTOR PUMP NO INJECTOR PUMP Gremlins..... just a prayer I was driving around today and noticed a significant power loss. Truck wouldnt accelerate in D unless placed in N. Pedal was to the floor, trans in D and it wouldnt move unless it was going down a hill. After it got the rpms...

    glow plug system update

    My mech. wired a switch to the glow plugs when the control module took a dump. When you hold the switch down (no longer than 5 sec) it heats the plugs up and lets the truck fire up. He told me that this is much easier to do than to try and track down the necessary military parts which are rather...

    Looking for proportioning valve info and other misc parts

    Hi... I recently purchased 2 1009's from a cop in my city. Veh1 is an ex k-9 police patrol veh and painted as such. Veh2 has an excellent body and motor, still camo, and was to be used as a parts truck for #1. Veh2 is missing a driver seat, door latch pin (nader pin), and the proportioning...
