Oh, didnt know you had changed the hoses, they should ok for 3 years or so. Just go with the new thermostat then, 195 sounds good.

If you are going to tear that far into it go ahead and change the radiator and heater hoses...if finances permit. Maybe even the water pump, I would. Cheap peace of mind. It does sound like you unstuck something. Thermo at 195 sounds good.

Nope, but it would let you know about not getting any heat to the heater core.

Thermostat might not be opening all the way, just partial. If it was not opening you would not get 2-3 miles before the engine would overheat at any speed. You might also want to check or just replace the heater hoses, one may have collapsed.

The old lady already found out about mine and the shoe/purse budget ALREADY went throught he roof! Can you spell Louis Vitton and Chanel? Started with a CUCV and on grins and giggles, got a deuce. Told her about the CUCV straightaway, but did not tell her about the deuce until we drove up the...

Nice looking rig! Hope ya have fun with it!!

Outstanding pics, I hope fun was had by all! Thanks for posting! Did the 818 get out??

Which one??

Looked over the forums and TMs but could not find anything that matched... During the recovery inspection the guage worked good. After getting on the freeway I noticed the guage continually jumping from 0 to max. When we pulled over to check things out, the guage was again reading properly...

Uh, unless you are going to use the truck offroad only, I would NOT hook it up to the headlight switch. Your local 'lets lockem up gang' would have issues in having all that light coming from the front of your vehicle. Remember you have to dim your lights for approaching vehicles... I do not...

Most of the ones I have seen are red, saw several black ones though. Was it a new dash and someone too lazy to dye it red? Might want to look through CUCV pics to see what colours you find.

Agree with this, tire alone didnt do THIS much damage. Seen 15/16/24" blown tire damage.

Dont get too lost in there :mrgreen: otherwise well have to call you :cookoo: ! (Sorry, could not resist) Reading them isn't too bad, creates crosseye though. It'll get better! And yes, as Westech said, it is a fusible link.

Saw it and cringed. steel hull...rust...NOT. I know their are some excellent coatings out there, the question is $$$. Think I would pass. And although I am a deckie, I know enough about the E/R to look at the mechanicals and see $$$ going off in my eyes. This one would not be a cheap boat to...

:funny:

The reason for the CUCV doing only 55, gearing. Fronts and rears are 4.56 with a trasmission with no overdrive, TH400. All of the drivetrain is very HD. You can go faster by swapping out to a OD tranny or increasing the tire diameter.

Nice score, enjoy!

Best wishes with the recovery and may all go your way!

Looks like explosives wernt necessary!! No 6.2 here though, sorry.
