Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Title fixed. The Gentlemen Corvette9 has been loosing prime on his fuel injection system of a 1986 CUCV M1028 A1. I sold him the truck 2 years ago and he completely restored it. He has since had an issue with the CUCV M1028A1 dropping the fuel prime when parked. Several other people and myself included have been trying to resolve the issue and get it up and trouble free again like it was for the 18 years that I owned it. Mean while he has been engaged in doing different things in an attempt to resolve the lost prime issue. Since we have basically hashed away at all issues thus far. We are to the point that the sending unit in the fuel tank may be the culprit. Thus I advised the easy thing for him to do would be to remove the bed to gain access to the fuel tank sending unit. And yes you could remove the fuel tank with out removing the bed. Not sure how easy that would be. i always remove the bed when working on changing a fuel tank or working around the fuel tank sending unit. That is the easiest thing for me. Works for me for 30 years. After all this explaining. (I really do not like explaining why and how I help another person.) What would you suggest we change the title to?
I am still not convinced that is the ultimate answer and 100% problem solver. I have the same trucks for over 20 years and they work fine with everything the same but the seats and the paint. Everything else is just fixed and replace with the same LKQ parts. IMHO. They spent $$$$ designing it. I save $$$$ maintaining the original design. To each his own. i am happy that you are happy with the spin on. I am happy for myself that mine are all running with the original. Nothing wrong either way. it is just not the fix all is my point.
It should be "losing" not "loosing". It would be helpful for people searching for similar issues.
I was hoping a Mod would fix the title thread spelling error. You decided to respond to me with a very long winded reply for some reason even though my post had nothing to do with you. No I do not have a solution as I've never had this problem on my own cucv. I do however read most threads as some day I may end up having one of these issues. Thanks for getting so worked up for no reason.
What was your final result. It's your tread but as you can see by the last few post there are several of us with the same issue, Did you find the fix?
. I know a guy that has trucks like that. They all work better that way IMHO. I mean 22 years and counting of private ownership. Driving them 70 MPH loaded and empty and still going. Have a great day. Glad to hear DUDE is still to your liking. And Gralmk I hope all the M1010 stuff worked out for you. I still have a lot more here.
