    Stalls Intermittently

    Hi Barrman, appreciate the insight. This is a brand new issue, never experienced it before. Yes, I always follow the correct starting procedure. She always has started (except when I got a load of contaminated fuel) on the first turn of the key and fast idle always operated as designed. No...

    M1009 Carpet/Flooring Ideas

    Unless your cab is 100% dry, I wouldn't install carpet or rubber flooring. I thought hard about this years ago. It may be a nice addition, serving to quiet down the interior and keep her a bit warmer in the cold, but it also can retain and trap moisture and accelerate rust through of the cab...

    Windshield wiper arm

    You did. However, I lent it to my brother and when I needed it, I couldn't find it (it was in his tool box). So I went out and got another, either at Autozone or NAPA. LOL!!, now I have two !!

    CUCV Radiator Replacement

    Mikey, I had the aluminum radiator ready to go, all adapters/mods done and I managed to strip out the bottom oil cooler bung. I boxed her up and put the unit up for now. I will, after I have my truck completely sorted, get the aluminum radiator repaired (helicoil the bung) and either sell it...

    Windshield wiper arm

    I believe I bought the tool at AutoZone for about $6, good to have in the tool box. The new arms will have a lot of spring tension and will be tough to get on and off.

    Stalls Intermittently

    OK, an update to this. First, I dosed the tank (with about 15 gal in it) with a triple dose of Standyne. After about a 100 miles I filled her all the way and then dosed her with a triple dose of HOWES Meaner Cleaner. She is still stalling, again, infrequently. I am now having a very weird...

    I use HOWES and pour about 6oz of Marine 2 stoke oil in there every third fill-up or so.

    Thanks Kieth. If the "Mechanic in a Bottle" doesn't do the job, is this "metering valve and spring" internal to the actual IP body or this a replaceable set of components I could do myself? Or does this require a rebuild of my IP (new in 2014, less than 15,000 miles on it).

    Damn, that seems like a tough nut to crack ! I have had VW's for the past 37 years. When I tried to rotate the tires on my first Jetta, I had a hell of a time trying to get the wheel bolts off. After that I use anti-seize on every bolt or stud I come across AND the back of the wheel where it...

    LOL ! Thanks Barrman, I found it ! Went to make a small adjustment, and she is frozen in there pretty good. Sprayed some Kroll in there, waiting a while so it can work it's magic. In the mean time, I heavy poured some HOWES Diesel Treat in the tank. No one around here has "Diesel Mechanic...

    Just an additional data point. I drove around today AND, if I keep my foot on the pedal (bringing her up by only a 100 RPM or so) she does not stall. Given the pictures in the post above, how can I bring up the idle without disassembling a ton of stuff (or is that a must) ?

    So, I went to adjust the idle so I could get a few more RPM's while off throttle. I think I have found that the idle screw is upside down and it is not accessible, at least to me, right now. Does this look right AND, is that the idle adjustment screw (I did look in the TM, but just checking to...

    Keith, it does only happen at low or no speed, so I'll look up where the metering valve is and check on it and the governing spring, if possible. Thanks.

    Thank Rick. I picked her up from you after I got back from my last round of fun in the sandbox, so I am thinking mid-2016. I know you sold it to a guy around you after the full rehab, but he wanted something "more comfortable" sold you helped him sell it to me (THANKS !!). I lubed everything...

    It is never ending, isn't it. Oh well, I volunteered for this. Hot or cold, my 09 has now developed a very intermittent stalling issue. It mostly happens when I take my foot off the throttle. I can be backing up when I first start her up, lifting off the throttle to shift into drive and she...

    Correct 1982 Army green

    That "Salmon" blends well into a lot of desert/dry landscapes.
