    rust repair

    Slow down the rust is the Key word. Never stop it. And welding just promotes more rust. I have used the Lords epoxy method a few times. No heat so no burnt panels. I also like brazing but to be honest I hate rust. But the gluing method is the easiest and nicest. Covered with filler and sanded...

    1009 making oil time to swap out engine

    Neither has to happen. No oil in coolant or coolant in oil. On a damp day you will see it is burning coolant thru the compression seal of the head gasket. When you take the head off that cylinder will be shiny clean. I have had it happen to 2 CUCV's. It just slowly got worse. So I changed the...

    1009 making oil time to swap out engine

    It could be a blown/corroded head gasket right near the compression seal. It does not have to leak water into the oil. I have changed a few just to change them and found bad/corroded head gaskets at the compression seal. But I would take a look anyway. If you are taking the engine out pull the...

    seeking CUCV IP Replacement how-to

    No tricks. i have a set of short wrenches. I just know it is tight back there. I never removed the battery tray. But do what you must. How is it going? I use the 2" rolok disc's to get the gaskets off. Does a nice job. How long till it's running again?

    1009 making oil time to swap out engine

    I would say it needs a set of head gaskets and the heads checked out at a machine shop. Not the end of the world. You will miss the efficiency of the diesel in comparison to the gasoline engine. Do as you wish. Once you change the engine you have devalued the CUCV to the point that it is worth...

    Blow by. Like when you remove the oil cap at idle?

    seeking CUCV IP Replacement how-to

    JGP. My advise. Do not remove the delivery nozzles as mentioned. No need to remove them. The problem you are having is in the injection pump itself. The only special tools that I can think of is a thin 15 mm open end wrench and possibly a thin 13mm open end wrench. The 15mm you will need to get...

    Custom Oil Cooler lines...pics...info?

    I would let them hang and swing in the breeze. If you anchor them they will never wear out and you won't have anything to do. :) Just kidding. Sounds like a plan. Carry On.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I have direct drive support brackets. I had them made up at a machine shop. They are direct fit for the stock direct drive starter. And Computer54. Both types have a battery cable and solenoid on the starter assembly. And $165. is a good deal if you have no core charge. Good Luck. PM me with...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Take a video of the starter and make a speech. You done it for everything else. I we see it we can identify it. Better yet make a silent movie or a still of the starter. Either way I got you covered on the support bracket. i must have missed the part where you said this was a 12 volt CUCV. I...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I am in the wrong business. I have TH400 transmissions completely gone over with rebuilt torque converter about $750.. Most times I pull it myself and that makes opportunity to clean and paint all the parts and underside. Sorry I don't set pricing. Owning an older vehicle is much more expensive...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I am out of the equation. I was only recommending a flawless option at this point. I would go to a shop and get it done right. That is a lot less then burning up time and the transmission. that is all I was trying to do. Could I be wrong? Yes. Getting it looked at by a reliable transmission guy...

    It can all stem around proper adjustment of the vacuum/ and the modulator. That is why I said. get it looked by an experienced technician. It takes a few tools and the vacuum gauge. Other then that it is guess work and hit or miss. Sure you can turn and adjust if you have a descent place to...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    You need someone to look at it. At my desk I only see (envision) what you tell me. Have a professional look at it and get it set up right. I can't tell what is going on. It could be a multitude of things or just 1 thing. Major to minor. You do need a vacuum gauge to do it correctly. I bought a...
