Yes, a manual primer is one of the best upgrades to our CUCV's. The filter housing on my 85 M1008 started leaking, so we swapped in a Duramax fuel filter set up. Fuel filter changes and priming the system is a breeze now. As soon as I come across another D'max fuel filter set up, I'll snag it...
Thaaat's a bit
Ummm... thaaaat's a wee bit too high.
I live in rural west Ga... the pricing out here is lower than compared to a shop in Atlanta. Try finding a shop in a rural area to rebuild it.
