Oil and mechanical violence is the only thing that'll get Rapco off your boots. You've been warned.

What you see is what you get. I keep a long plastic funnel with a giant taper in the truck. Dex/Merc goes in the can because I can pour that in my fuel tank if I have to, but I can't pour diesel in my transmission or Hydroboost.

These are for my upcoming bumper carrier. Korea-era milsurp jerry cans. Looked like red primer under Vietnam-era OD sprayed over with something else. Doesn't look like military green to me. Anyway, today I added rattle can Rapco 33446, CARC 686 substitute. New cans have a powerful spray with a...

Starter bolts: ARP 430-3511 GM 2-LONG M10 4.470" 12PT STARTER BK UPC 672036046637 Installed, confirmed fit on Delco 27MT.

I wasn't even thinking about the seal driver. Good frame of reference. Thank you. Will figure something out when the time comes. Mostly, I was just nervous about potentially hurting the radiator core while I'm messing with the pulley puller.

Maybe I'll wait on the mounts 'til I get the picker. I was gonna get a cherry picker to install the rear bumper, since it weighs 149 LBS unloaded, so having more than one use for it out of the gate is a good thing. Don't suppose you know the fuel hose diameter off the top of your head? I haven't...

Exhaust donuts done on both sides. Driver's side was a breeze. The studs stayed put and the nuts came right off. Installed the new stainless springs and the zinc plated nuts on the original studs and moved on to the other side. Passenger side, I had one stud break free before the nut, which gave...

Got 'em. They're on closeout on RockAuto, but there's only one left now.

At some point, somebody decided to keep tightening the nuts instead of replacing the collector donuts, so the OE springs are ruined, just like the gaskets. Whatever common database websites are using to determine whether or not these fit the CUCV states that they will not work, but only because...

Left a bad review on those Dynomax mufflers on Summit and a rep reached out to offer a refund or exchange with paid return shipping. They're sending me a pair of Thrush welded mufflers. Honestly, I'm impressed with the customer service.

Looked up the doghead mod and didn't find the original post. Seems like it must have been posted more than 15 years ago. I did find a post referring to it and it directed me to look up this part specifically. It's listed at 12v, 300 amp. Is this correct? https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/SME7018601

Slaughtered the budget this month ordering this bumper with a jerry can carrier. Made to order and turnaround is lengthy, so I have time to think about what I've done. If anybody's got an extra M1009 wheel, let me know. Hillbilly Wizard is asking more than I want to spend for a matching spare...

I live in a sandbox. Cats crap in sandboxes. I live in a cat box. I often forget this. I was reminded of this today. Face first. Immediately lost interest in my motor mounts. Another time.

Hey, thanks! No wonder I never missed it. Glad to know I don't need to worry about it.

765R4 sounds sweet. I had to look it up. Check that pinned thread on CUCV hot rodding before hooking up the kickdown cable, and PM sent!

Turned out I couldn't find any at all except for a guy on eBay sitting on a pile of surplus NOS and asking $300 apiece. At that price, I got into my junk box, pulled one off a seized DB2, and tried it out. Worked great, and I liked the price a lot better.

Was really looking forward to how cheap parts would be on a truck that has had overstock sitting on shelves for decades all over the world. Also, in case anybody wondered, the black plastic vacuum doodad on the side of your injector pump is GM #14057219 aka NSN #4820-01-158-6836. Nobody is...

Did the rear springs today. Nuts and bolts are 7/8" and 13/16". U-bolt nuts are 15/16". Reused the original hardware because it was fine. Finally replaced the last shock. I was stalling on it because I didn't want to drop the tank, but we just cut the bolt off this morning. Suspension is all...
