That is just too complicated. If it is leaking until you start it and then it stops leaking and starts smoking that would tell me that the pump can't keep up and the injection pump is sucking air. You have mentioned a water separator several times and these trucks did not come with a water...

I knew it was one or the other. I don't like any of them myself. Personal opinion. Rick

An H3 is a Tahoe with a different body, nothing more or less. It ain't gonna touch that deuce! Letting air out of the tires now is just going to set the differentials tighter on the ground. If you are going to let air out I would pull forward a little, let some out, pull forward a little, let...

Do you have the blackout light switches set correctly?

Yea, I have heard you are quite the teetotaler Gimp.:beer:

You know, if you single that strap, have the wife in the yoda and you in the truck just lightly turning the wheels and give it a couple of good tugs it will probably come right out. Just use momentum and not a lot of wheel spin on the puller after the tug. The strap does not have any steel on...

I guess it depends on when "back then" was?

Made it there and back in one piece. Met some nice people, some not so nice. I think this might just be my last year, after 25 years I have noticed a disturbing trend in the type of people attending these meets. I paid a lot of money for my spot but had to abandon it to avoid a confrontation. I...

Speddmon, You might want to reread the post I quoted. I was not talking about the OP. This guy says he had a military license to drive all this stuff while still 16. I stand by what I said. CUCV's did not come in service until 84 and by then it would be **** tough to lie you way in at 16 let...

And how did you get into the military at 16 let alone get a drivers license for all of those vehicles while still 16? I call BS on this one!

There have been some lengthy glow plug discussions in the CUCV forums i the last couple of months. There is no limiter switch that I know of. If one plug goes bad the voltage then rises on the rest. If two go bad the voltage rises even higher, see the pattern? If the card is bad and caused them...

If someone brought a basket case to me it was always going to cost more than if I did the entire job myself since first I have to find all the parts. Then figure out what parts are missing and there are always parts missing, usually little things like bearing nuts, washers, spacers. Stuff that...

That has got to be one of the easiest front ends to work on. Everything is basic. Any shade tree mechanic would have been able to figure out what was wrong fairly quickly, like hours, not months. It sounds like you took it apart and he is putting it together? I get the impression there is a lot...

You got me on that one but in my defense I am in the hospital on lots of drugs. Rick

I guess I am just an old fart but I could not follow the non-grammer on half of those posts.:-? Rick

CARNAC plays with his lizard? TMI for sure!!!:twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted: Hopefully I will not be incarcerated in the hospital for next years meet. Sounds and looks like I missed a good one. Rick

You do not want to be transmitting with a 3:1 match. You could fry the finals in the radio real quick.

Electrical was my specialty before I retired from automotive work. It is not really all that bad as long as you take the time to think it out. Now Military wiring is real fun! All one color, or in this case it looks like maybe two colors. This is when you use wire marker tags. That is one beast...

I would cut it in the straight section and then bolt it to the truck on both ends and mark what needs to come out. Cut that out and remount it on the truck and at least tack weld it in several places so you know for sure it will fit when fully welded. Rick

Die hard mechanics, all of you. Rick
