Have you adjusted your tappets yet ? If so and it still has that tick I would check your valve lift to see if your cam is loosing a lobe. You can use a dial indicator on the rocker (manually turning engine over) and after checking all of them you can determine if any is below average compared to...

Sounds like it needs the rockers adjusted, but beyond that sounds and looks good !

Hey Tim, do you know how much the timing was retarded ? Also how "Hot" of spark plugs are they using ?

That "paracord" looks real cool on the steering wheel ! I wished I knew how to weave it like that !

I must have misread your post. Too bad, that would be nice and easy to just get a later model housing.

What he said !

Gerhard, you mentioned that the later Spicer 3053 transmission used a front oil seal. Do you know what years this would be ? Thanks.

This is truly the best advice ! I bought my land over 30 years ago and if I hadn't read all the Counties documents I wouldn't have found out that there was THREE right-aways on my land ! I was able to negotiate a better contract with the seller because of it.

Yes ! I've said this before. You must become "one" with the machine !

Have you ever looked at the engine running at night ? Try it without a flashlight and see if you can see any stray sparks coming off the distributor cap or condensers or spark plug wires. Also did you ever take off the timing gears or advance the distributor ? If it is advanced this could cause...

That view is of the Columbia river and it is deep ! Momma wasn't too happy though ! They played all her favorites the night before ! It was a real "Mardi Gra" atmosphere there ! Over 10,000 people, probably closer to 20,000. Half walking around getting stoned (remember pot is legal here) and...

I don't know how to change a VIN number but in all honesty it really is just a standard Chevy truck now. I truly believe this site should be for others that are wanting to maintain there "original" CUCV . Any other way and it will dilute the sites information for real CUCV owners. Now if there...

After reading this post I feel I need to remove my truck from the CUCV list. I have spent the last 20 years removing any trace of military influence from my truck. OK I still have the battery trays and the large radiator with the engine cooler built in. That is just too "cool" of a radiator to...

Once you get the 4 bolts out it will come out. You just have to "work" it !

Here's some more pictures. All in all a good 400 mile trip except for the notorious "drivers arm sunburn" !

Took the CUCV and trailer to the Gorge to see the "Grateful Dead" concert. My wife is a "Dead Head". For some reason this is the only picture uploading now. I saw a really cool Uni-Mog on the way back. Took some pictures. All and all a good trip. Really hot though ! The truck did will...

This is what your looking for.

Honestly, most guys here need to invest in a wheel dolly. It makes working on the deuce so much easier. If your working smarter then harder your saving your body and channeling your efforts into more productive work. Since we don't work on large trucks for a living ( I'm retired now ) we don't...

That's what I did.

Ain't that the truth !
