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

Those computers are like women. You need another one to interpret and there's still no guarantee you get a straight answer. Usually you need to replace 'em.

Replaced Pintle hitch with receiver for std. hjitch so I can tow a camper, boy that dang thin had 12 bolts plus the 2" pintle bolt then added 12 volt trailer light connector

Getting the truck started from cold was getting problematic; two or three cycles for the GPs, then crank and barely not catch, another GP cycle and then it would begrudgingly start.

Pulled out the ebay Bosch GPs and replaced them with AC Delco 60s instead. I tested the old ones after removing them; five tested at .5 ~ .6 ohms, one tested 53 ohms, another tested 230 ohms, and the bad boy was 700 something ohms.

I'll know if it's fixed tomorrow morning.

EDIT to add: Easy start this morning. One cycle of the GPs (the WAIT light stayed on a little longer than I remember it was previously) and fired after a few seconds of cranking.

I tightened the Power Steering belt on my Mule M1009. I used it for spring gobbler season and I bagged my limit. It was an easy fix to a misdiagnosed issue I was having. But it does sound like a turkey call when the PS belt is slightly loose. The only time it gobbled was on cold start up. I ignored it for a year and was told it needed a power steering pump and others said the brake booster. Yesterday in the 65 degree weather I looked and found the PS belt slightly loose. That was easy. Back into topless weather again soon.

What are you shooting these days:

- Shotgun, or bow?

(PS The forecast is snow, like big snow; next week. )

Both. This year we are going to be able to use assault type rifles in Deer season. They must have 5 round clips. That is a first for Pennsylvania.

A season restricted to mortars would be interesting (you know, limited to 75mm +/-).

But then, there wouldn't much left to dress out I guess.

 

[CUCVLOVER]

U just have to close with those. Don't direct hit

 

[cucvrus]

Lead them make the hole deep enough. They fall broken neck and no waste of kill area. Works every time.

The trick is those first couple of ranging rounds, because they're is NO holding them still after those:

Do you mean a "modern sporting rifle"? Much more accurate and nonabusive term.

Well, I'm out of ideas..
Continuing from last week:
Found out after my parade, the transmission shifted rough and very late, the fluid was low, so I filled up.
Today, I went for a testdrive in town, did a few miles, also a lot of reversing action, checked the transmission fluid: A little above full, nice red in color and smelling normal.
Still late and rough shifts at little to medium action on the GO-pedal. Medium to almost full throttle, the shifts are smooth and late..

And then there is the flickering "wait" light, but i covered that, because of reasons..

Still had a good time, just driving around and listening to that 6.2 V8.

Vacuum pump or vacuum line leaking been suggested already?

 

[RobM36A2]

Not yet. As light is fading here, going to check my books and manuals to try and find the culprit tomorrow morning.
