I would remove the cover plate that is still attached to the lower block. Clean that up real well and replace the gasket. You will find the push rod then. I use the gasket and Permatex the right stuff. Do as you wish. My way works and I NEVER have any leaks. So to each his own. When the push rod...

I can change one in about a 1/2 hour. Just dis connect batteries and remove the right alternator. Everything is right there. The wires on the alternator are long enough to stay connected. The only thing I go down on the bottom side to do is A remove the rubber line if need be. B re-tighten the 2...

Did you check if the fuel up is pumping fuel at the flare nut side? Disconnect the feed hose and apply suction to that line and see if you can get fuel. If not try blowing air back into the tank and then try suction again. Do you have a fuel line that is worn thru? Under the cab on the rear cab...

I tend to go a bit heavy with my patch strips. Only because I have access to good clean sheared strips of 12-16 Gauge galvaneal and steel strips. And the nice thing is you can anchor the inner apron with some lags and flat washers and use the new inner fender/apron holes without any extra work...

I don't think grease and oil would have saved the outer fender inner reinforcement. They were lighted painted at best when new and that inner apron sandwiched against each other did a lot of rusting over the last 30 years. If the outer skin is still solid I would just put a 2" strip of steel up...

Low coolant light? That is a small module up in that area. And BdotC is lost in the CUCV thread. I think he wants the HMMWV threads. Just my opinion. Happy Holidays.

Rear; Single Rear Wheels; with 13 IN x 3-1/2 IN Brakes Quick Question???? I am away from the shop. Can someone verify this is the correct rear drum size on the M1008/M1028? Please. I am 99.9% sure but I have someone offering me a set and want to make sure they are rthe correct thing. I am about...

Cutting and removing is an option. And if it is that heavily modified. That seems to be the easiest option. Disconnect it from the under hood harness engine side and cut the wires at the grommet it will pull right through. The bracket with the cannon plug removed makes a perfect gauge bracket...

Back in my day with VW's I always bought VW parts that were made in Brazil. And now with CUCV's I get the parts from all over the world. Same as new Chevrolet/Ford/Ram vehicles. Vehicles are made all over the world. They are no longer considered US made vehicles. They may be assembled here but...

Just unplug it under the hood and work the wire connection towards the inside of the cab. It is tight but it will fit. Just cover the hole with a grommet of padded tape. Happy Holidays and be patient. It fits with no cutting. Or just cut the wires off both ends and let the grommet in place.

I used a grinder and ground all the old inner fender from the reinforcements. Then I just stitch welded them old reinforcements in place and it looked 100% OE. But some of them have a lot of spot welds holding them and would look like Swiss cheese if you drill all the spot welds. But the upside...

The headlamp dimer switch seems to be the issue with the headlamps. Seems to click very rough and sometimes not at all. This is a good one. I went to Autozone and picked up a dimmer switch for Voodoo M1009. I looked and it was a STANDARD brand. Logo on box "When OE fails...trust Standard" I...

I don't fill my filters before install. To messy. But I can't imagine pumping fuel at a fuel station into a clean can and then pouring it into the filter is going to effect anything. If you have dirty fuel cans and are not clean with your tools and fuel cans. Yes then I see the point. But I...

I will advise to anyone especially on a diesel with only one filter is to NOT fill the filter before installation. Please do tell. Why would that even matter if you are putting clean fuel into the filter? I am asking if you have a valid reason for stating this. I never do put fuel in mine but...

Easy. Just take off your front wheels and let the front suspension hang. Support the frame. You can get the inner fender aprons out from each fender very easily. You will need to drill the 5/16" holes for the battery trays on the right fender and the oil cooler lines on the left inner fender. I...

This is some more info on the LED truck lite headlamps. Swiss I hope you find it helpful.

I am reposting this information for Swiss. Happy Holidays. I hope this helps you out.

WOW. That's a new one. Military Spec headlamp adjustments. Never heard that one before. And I get GM adjusters out of every vehicle I see at the YOUPULLIT. Astro vans have nice headlamp buckets as do the all the Chevy vans I work on. Many sources for the adjusters. But I never heard of Mil-Spec...

They are the same as civilian headlamp adjusters. I used the same headlamp adjusters. Good old Hoppys and a long Philips screwdriver. Nothing special about the whole truck really when it comes to the service lamps.
