    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    I just replaced the relay and I have the same issue. The truck is at my parents and he doesn't have a tester. I will bring mine tomorrow. Talking out loud: new batteries, with the smoke and diesel smell I'm getting fuel. I have replaced the GP relay and the GP resister is no longer on the...

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Rich, The Napa store down the road has one I am picking up at lunch. Thank you for all your help. It will be late tonight, but I will write back and let you know how it goes. The relay that is on it now, is somewhere between 3-4 years old. I do know it was replaced by the previous owner, but I...

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    I haven't checked them. I was thinking it was a fuel issue. The glow plugs were repalced about a year ago with AC 60. I have bypassed the resisitor. It smokes and smells when it fires off for just a second. When it fires up for good, it will smoke and smell and it sounds like it surging and...

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Rich, My wait light doesn't stay on longer than normal. I thought it could be the GPs so after the click from the GPs turning off, I would use my manual switch and it didn't have any effect. Yes it does smoke andf have a fuel smell when it does fire off. Great, I am horrible at electrical...

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Back on post #158 I added that I had made this conversion. For the past few weeks it has been hard to start (warm or cold outside). The GPs are less than a year old, I replaced the batteries 2 days ago (group 31 with 950 CCA). It seems to turnover for 8-10 seconds, fires off and dies within 2...

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    I got mine done a few days ago. I used the Wix 4770 base and a Wix 533005 filter. I got the 3/8"x1/2"npt barbed fitting from Ace. I got the 1/4"x1/2" npt barbed fitting from EBay. I wrapped the threads with regular old thread tape. Because my filter is so long, I had to cut a piece of steel to...

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Thanks all. I'm replacing both rubber lines or I would clamp them off. Fuel mileage or results of clamping lines

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    I figured I would tag on to this thread instead of starting a new one. I am going to make the conversion tonight if I get home in time. New spin on base, filter and fuel lines from the base. I have a question about repriming the system. When everything is together, the new filter is full of...
