    Right Bedside Replacement Panel - My Experience

    They are all about the same. Just use what ever you can get at this point. Clean the area really well and cut any rusty material out. Treat the cleaned areas and weld/glue the replacement panels in place. I use what ever brand ROC is selling these days. No American made cab corners or rocker...

    CUCV oil cooler lines from NAPA

    I deal with Rusco in Lancaster. They do a great job. We have several hydraulic porta packs that they rebuild and service for us. Good guys. And being in Amish country always helps. Amish are a whiz with hydraulics. Small world. Drock I would use worm clamps. Not Oeticker clamps on the oil cooler...

    Gen 1 Light and Fan

    Mission accomplished. I knew I would find it. It was just a matter of time. With electrical wiring being my weak point I tore into it and I found the problem. That was easy. A test light will tell the truth at all times if it is working. keeping in mind My Mule M1009 is pure stock and I drive it...

    CUCV oil cooler lines from NAPA

    AC Delco's in picture. Gates 1/2" hydraulic Hose part Number 85964 price is 2.99 a ft. This is Hydraulic hose and is flame resistant. It can be clamped to the barbed ends of the stock aluminum pipes. I think the A C Delco Mainland China lines have steel tubes. They are not aluminum. Very strong...

    Easter find M1008 2015

    I made great progress tonight. Even the wonderful A C Delco Mainland Chinese hoses could not ruin my progress. They slowed me down a bit but I prevailed and completed and exceeded my goals for the evening. Side by side comparison with the original hoses they are close. But they lack the correct...

    Gen 1 Light and Fan

    Looked a little further. Found nothing. I think it could be the fan switch. I am not ready to remove the cluster. I will attempt to change the switch from below. Done it before. It charges fine and I can drive it like it is for now. Maybe over the weekend I can change the switch. I checked and...

    M1008 not starting

    I start mine every day with no throttle. I do not like to wake a sleeping engine with RPM's. And if it has fuel present at each nozzle and glow plugs that are working it should start. Pull the glow plugs and crank it over real good and get all the air out of the fuel system. And like mentioned...

    Easter find M1008 2015

    I am here to put on the new AC Delco oil cooler lines. Come to find out they are not only Made in China. They are made in Mainland China. Thank God. My only regret is not knowing what regret feels like.. I will post pictures of the tags and the installed lines.

    M1008 not starting

    First off. Is it getting fuel to and thru the injection pump and out to the delivery nozzles? Lets get that resolved first. the glow plugs and proper operation of the glow plugs can come second. You can burn out a new set of glow plugs cranking the engine over with no fuel present at the...

    I don't drive my CUCV all the time. But when I do I don't concern myself with fuel economy no matter how far I am going.

    Easter find M1008 2015

    Gen 1 Light and Fan

    Very interesting thread. I was driving the Mule M1009 this AM and when I came from the coffee shop the Gen1 and oil light did not come on when starting. When I started the truck the gen light was on solid. The voltmeter was charging where it is supposed to be. But the fan would not run. It was...

    Terminus M1009

    Parts are all cleaned up. Short of sand blasting them and powder coating them. That is as good as it gets for this project.I looked around the shop and I have many partial cans of paint. I had a 1/2 gallon of OSHA Safety yellow and some purple paint from another project. Waste NOT. I used them...

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

    Fix it quick with an oily rag. Use a nail to start it. I lost the key. Don't pay any mind to the whirlin sound. She used a little oil. But outside of that she's cherry. https://youtu.be/8PkyqsavkBw
