    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Finished putting Chassis Saver on my new 31 gallon tank, put it on my Dana 44 knuckles and caliper brackets. I bought the matched set Dana 44/Dana60 with 4.56 gearing back before I knew much about axles(not saying I know a lot now, just more) I just started tearing into it today and found out...

    Just got the new fuel tank in. Bled the system and it runs. The fuel gauge STILL does not work. I am at a loss. I guess it's time to go check the connections again. I know the ground is good. I wonder if there is something wrong with the pink wire. Hmmm.

    I dropped the old tank. There it is in all it's glory. I put Chassis Saver on the new 31 gallon tank. While I had it out I also put some Chassis Saver on the under carriage and the frame rails where I could reach. I will hopefully put it all in tomorrow. I also worked on the new axles I...

    Man, that sucks. Have you thought about using a product other than Kat's? I want to put a freeze plug heater in mine, but I just haven't done it yet. I am very skeptical about getting heir brand after all the troubles you have had with yours.

    Just finished fixing my mirror as it started to snow. My passenger side mirror was hanging on by one screw. The other two pulled through. So I used three 1 x 1/4" hex head bolts, six 1/4" washers, three 1/4" lock washers, and three 1/4" nuts. After taking off the door panel two of them were...

    The motor series ended if I remember right in 1984. Make sure it comes with the washer pump. Starting in (I think) 1985 GM started using new motors that did not have a built in washer pump. It's actually a very easy swap.

    Just put the correct wiper motor on and tested it. It runs much faster now, the wiper pump still works, and the blades will park instead of playing the timing game. All in all other than freezing to death I think it turned out rather well. This also might be a first that I do mechanic work...

    I know I could make it work. I compared the two side by side and they look identical, save the pump parts. I just don't want to go through the hassle of putting on a separate pump.

    Went to put on a new wiper motor. Turns out in my 1985 M1009 they used the older wiper motor. So the one i bought won't work. Picking the other up tomorrow to switch it out.
