What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

[richingalveston]

spring cleaning:
I am in the process of:
changing water pump, rebuilding injection pump, new injectors, new return lines, all new hoses and thermostat, new head bolts, getting radiator serviced, adding trans cooler, adding power steering cooler, installing ORD high clearance cross member, ORD competition motor mounts, electric fuel pump, Banks turbo, new exhaust and a snorkel.

I have it broken down and I am starting to put it back together. The head studs have been changed, valve covers painted and back on. I went with Badger Diesel on pump, injectors and return line. I hope to have the parts by the end of next week.
I got most the other stuff from Rock auto.

I should have it back together and at the exhaust shop in two weeks.

Got a box of parts from Summit today for my A/N hose to BM remote oil cooler eliminating the in radiator cooler .If it turns out okay I will post parts list. I may even add a second oil filter setup.

... They burn hot and add a HMMWV mag run flat and you will warm your soul. Have a great day.

I'd like to see one of those mags burning, saw an old VW one burn long time ago, I think I still have spots in my eyes, but oh was it warm.

You are going to eliminate the radiator part of the trans. cooler? I was told that if you add an additional cooler you still run the fluid thru the radiator after it exits the add on cooler to keep the fluid from being too cold. This is the way I did my 83 C-20. I am wanting to add a cooler to my M1009 with a inline spin on filter and add a drain plug to the transmission pan.

I could be wrong, but I think he is just referring to the engine oil cooler portion of the radiator. I can see that as the oil cooler hoses are hard if not impossible to find (new) unless custom made.

Novaccine you are correct it's my engine oil cooler I'm updating. My factory lines are starting to leak and I want to install electric cooling fans, getting the hard lines out of the way will help.When I add a remote transmission cooler I run through radiator then through remote cooler.

Mine "seeps" as well, and you can smell it when it's under load. I really need to remove it and have a custom one made.
A shop nearby will make me a new line, but they need me to bring me my old one to use as a template.

How many here remember being 18 and rolling down a back road peddle on the floor stereo up loud and windows down in the old Chevy??
Well that's what I did with my Cucv tonight. Went and fueled it up and came back to the house. I just love getting out and running that Chevy.

 

[cucvrus]

Chase i know you stayed under the maximum mandatory 55 MPH with that CUCV. I don't want any pieces of your engine coming apart. . Or are you like me and drive at Ludicrous speed every time you are on the highway? When I was 18 i had a CST/10 4 X 4 and I left it roll on down the highway and thru the bush. I have friends/colleagues that see me 40 years later and they say "hey I still see you have Chevy trucks". I say sure do lots of them. They say every time I see a Chevy commercial I think of you. You know like Tom T Hall. Chevys just keep getting better each year. And I like to get a taste every few years of the new Chevy. Keep trucking young Chase and be careful that you don't hurt yourself or others. Be safe. Have a great day. Bowties and lock outs all the way. I don't need no stinkin lecture on RPM's. It is still running.

Did a little drifting on the gravel road yesterday in mine with my M1102 trailer attached. Rear wheel drive drifting with a trailer takes practice but I do it a lot with my Rural King trailer hauling my zero-turn. Just dont do it too fast! Had to bring it home to clean it out to take to scales today so I can get tags on it. The CUCV with the M1102 is going to Groveport/Lockborne next week to pickup 4 pallets.

I believe your position on CUCV operating speeds have been well documented to the point of ad nauseam.

 

[cucvrus]

What ever that means. Go with it.

You know how I roll. Throttle down, sub thumbn', winders down.

Another thing I love about big wide tires and big brakes is stopping power. I have locked up both front tires on the truck before. Do what ya gotta do

That sounds fun. Are you going to give out classes on it?

It simply means.

 

[cucvrus]

No dead horses here in my camp. Mine, family and my friends are all running around free and that's the way it's meant to be. Beating new guys down with misinformation is dead horse meat. And old guys that know better are just trying to clear the air and help out. Sad for you if you are offended by that. But every time I hear that same old mis informed information I think. Huh no wonder guys walk up and ask how I can drive a truck that only does 55 MPH. I just say yea right. Another misinformed person.

 

[Recovry4x4]

It also means 4081 RPM @ 80 MPH. Well above the 3600 governed RPM

 

[cucvrus]

Max Power

6 HP @ 3600 RPM, 5.5 HP @ 3000 RPM

Strange that is the maximum RPM of my single cylinder Yanmar diesel engines. I would think that it would be higher on an 8 cylinder engine. Where is the governor located? I am guessing injection pump.

I'm not offended, just simply stating that your position is very well documented.

Already have. Do it slow. Too fast and trailer will pass you up, and that's never good.
