With various degrees of failure and success I have slowed the leak. A few I have stopped the leak. No rhyme or reason. The design has a lot to be desired. The air and water cascade down from the cowl screen / vent and run over the floor vents. This creates a leak. The ones I stopped leaking...

It may have just been dumped there. And the rest of the truck? 1983 1/2 ton 4 X 2. Not worth looking for. Scrap. Your a funny guy. Funny like HA HA. Not funny like a clown. :)

Is this a clicking sound or a harsh grinding sound you are hearing? They call the grinding sound flywheel milling. Do you have a rear starter support bracket in place? A few notes I found on the subject. Quite the common problem that stems from the high compression engine stopping in one of...

Where is the click coming from? The click has nothing to do with shims. Shim's just move the starter away from the flywheel ring gear. No shims puts it closer. Do you have a new starter? If it is 2 years old it could still be bad. And a dead spot on the armature could do that click you here is...

I couldn't move the regulator. I cut the bottom of the door apart to get the regulator and door glass out. Today I am working on a shed roof. Maybe get some time for CUCV work. I will post if I do. Have a great happy July 4th.

The bolt together cable ends are NOT the best. Get a new set made that are crimped or soldered to get her. Clean the ground points. That small ground off the front battery goes to the radiator core support and then jumps to the right frame rail. I added a few extra grounds and it has helped...

I was on a job to recover a downed CUCV and on the way back I stopped by and took a few casts. Water was very fast and high. Figures that's how the door got there. How did you make the ID to Canada, was it actually labelled that way somehow? If has the full VIN and the...

I carry many spare parts when I have room. Especially if they are small parts and I know I could help someone else or myself out with them. I know I have 3 spare tires already and went wheeling 5 times with out a flat. Last time I was out I had 3 flats. Proves nothing. But glad I had the spare...

I was fishing in Maryland yesterday and found a left Chevy truck door along the river in the woods. It had glass and all. The door was junk and the outside handle was missing. It was blue and from a 1983 1/2 ton 4 X 2 made in Canada. It appears to have washed there. I think that's possible. It...

All the M1010's I had ran leece neville big red generators. I think that is what they were called.

I would not call it a home brew. It works well and save cutting the harness. The same man that makes the new circuit cards make st the relay. it works. I have tested it in 2 trucks. I like the plug and play design. It works well. Thank you and have a great day. No criticism here. Just don't like...

The DOGHEAD mod is NOT the silver bullet cure all to starter woes. That gives a false sense of security to people that think my starter issues are cured because I done this modification. I have 15+ CUCV's under my care for over 20 years. Did I have a few starter run off? Yes I would be a liar if...

If it starts I would suspect the glow plugs are working fine. I would be more interested in checking the fuel system. It sounds like it is dropping the fuel and that lets it loose prime. This is a common issue with diesel engines of this age. It could be the pressure switch behind the fuel...

The transformation is forever. Cast your vote. This #1 or this #2?

0630 this AM. Still looks the same. The paint is still a bit tacky. Slightly. It flowed nice and has great smooth coverage. In extreme heat if I add to much accelerator I get nasty dry edges. I have no paint booth. Just a barn bay. Today I have lots of weed whacking and non CUCV related work to...

When you say lost oil. All the oil? I am thinking cam bearings but hard to say. What symptoms do you have? If you were unknowing and did not have a gauge just the stock light. Would the oil light be lit at anytime driving or idling. If you answered no. I would run it and just check the oil. Do...

You know the answer to that. You just told us. It needs replaced or overhauled. You could put heavier oil in it if it is not knocking. Remember oil pumps do NOT create oil pressure. it is the clearance and tight tolerances of the bearings that create the oil pressure. Oil pumps move the oil thru...

The next time I roll out in the bush in Terminus M1009. i am going to have title in hand. 2 more weeks the transformation is going to be spectacular. I will keep you posted on the results. 13 days remaining till blast off.

I don't have fuel leaking when I remove the feed line. And I still have original fuel line. that Z bend is very hard to duplicate. It takes a lot more line. So if it don't leak don't replace it. i would trim the end at most. I just installed the original fuel line on me truck i am rebuilding. It...

Keep looking I think you have a burnt fusible link. Hard to diagnose from Pennsylvania. But I will do what I can to help you.
