I saw that ! Here the "governor" is saying to leave and then the mayor says to "hunker-down" and stay home ! I hope he is kicked out of office ! What an idiot ! About your truck. You have a "specific" need for a fording kit installation on your CUCV. Most do not. It is an "expensive" and time...

Well, just having an "NRA" sticker in your window in Kalifornia is a felony !

If that is your only justification for having a deep water fording kit installed then you have failed. You had plenty of warning to leave the area, so anyone still there is really asking for it. I know I will probably get flack for that statement, but honestly there is no excuse for anyone to be...

That's not too bad. Your alternator diodes might be slipping a little current by them, but if you drive it daily you won't notice a thing.

If you have a working radio, then the amp draw should be around 0.03amps to 0.05amps . Any more and your loosing power from something, usually the alternator diodes.

Good job ! :goodjob:

My father used to say that all the time. He told me to buy the best "tool/product" etc. that I could afford. It would pay for itself over the years. That's why I would only buy "Snap-On" tools for decades. Now I will buy some cheap Harbor Freight stuff for something I know I will only need to...

Like I mentioned earlier, this was a major flaw in the frame design of this truck. Chevy corrected it in the 1986/1987 model change-out.

Are there any manufacture name and numbers on them ? Also are they 24 volt ?

I was referring to "Precision Engineering Rebuilders" . They are a pretty big company and about the only one out there still rebuilding our "air-pacs" and master cylinders especially the duel master cylinders. I've bought parts from them before and have talked with the shop manager quite a bit.

I wouldn't say that. Having worked as a mechanic for 40 years, I've worked at some pretty good shops. Some not so, but most pretty good. Also my best friend since high school (we went to trade school together also) owns his own shop and treats his customers like friends. I would just stay away...

Where did you get the motorized valves from and how much where they ? I actually only have one solenoid switch on my system, rated for diesel fuel use. The rest are heavy duty one-way check valves for Marine diesel fuel systems.

I believe I got the gauge from Summit Racing. I used the old brake light switch port on the air-pac to feed the gauge. Works great.

The reason I installed it is I can monitor my brakes for adjustment. If the adjustments are out on the shoes the pressure will go down. (Your filling more of the wheel cylinder with a limited amount of fluid) . Pressure in a enclosed system stays the same from end to end, so when you increase...

That's to bad you don't have a good shop to take your truck to. There are plenty of those crappy transmission shops out here to, but there are also plenty of good shops here to. You just have to look around. I usually find the good shops are a hole in the wall place with a single owner/operator...

Nothing wrong with a good video and speech !

That would be great if you could "sleeve" the cylinders ! I know that the brake company I mentioned earlier back east is doing that. They are using stainless steel sleeves. I also believe they are lathing the piston to fit in the smaller bore. The leather seal is able to adjust to the smaller...

Ditto !!!!

You know this message needs to be repeated often. I've been driving for many, many decades now and I still find myself at times going much faster then the speed limit. Your driving along in the "zone" when you glance down and see the speedometer is reading 70 mph and your in a 55 mph area ! The...

I agree with some here who want to know the back story of the deuce. Who designed it, why some features where added and some not. Who did the testing and are there any pictures of this testing. That sort of thing. I was at Fort Knox when the first M1 Abrams came into service. I was in the...
