Yeah sounds like either the temp sensor or card is randomly failing. No rocket science here. Although the average Joe gets scared of 24v even though nothing in the control system is 24v except the resistpr on the firewall. Jeez... I have an antennaclimber card, actually bought two. Highly...

Sounds good I'm right down the road from PNSY. Maybe when cars and coffee start again. They have pretty good shows at the Fox Run mall on Sunday. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

You are heading down a very expensive road. Triple check all the threaded holes for cracks. Clean the threads up. Use two new knurled bolts and use loctite on the bracket going to the block. If this happens again you may end up with a very nice 6.2 boat anchor. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus...

That is a full day for the Burb. Loaded up and a fast pace. Those are the times you do not want a temp dummy light or a factory inaccurate gauge 🤣 Hopefully you don't have to lead...just duck behind the other large vehicle in the pack. Did some more fab work on my tire carrier. The left side...

No idea if you're can still make one bit a machine shop could whip one up for you. Try McMaster Carr, they do carry many types of double ended fasteners. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

I'm going to bet that any gauge swap on a CUCV is going to be wire intense since we are talking about a complete retrofit from 80's technology. Speedo signal is no issue. You can use a $25 hall effects pickup on the tcase just like stock 90's factory stuff. Tach signal of it is a diesel tach...

Awesome Thanks for the pics. I am not sure that I am going to try to sneak those pencil brackets in until I actually have a use for it. Yeah fixing that problem isn't exactly easy when the bumper bracket is 1/2" plate. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

The last truetrac i had was in a yota pickup that I solid axle swap on. Only had the rear axle diff set up with a truetrac, only had 2wd. At the time I had a girlfriend that lived way up on a hill. Super steep driveway. One snow storm I was out heading up there, figured I would never make it...

Do you need a full locker? You can get a truetrac for the 14 bolt. Ive had them in the past and will give you very close traction if you arent lifting a tire but are silky smooth on the street. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

If you are willing to pony up money for selectables then a Detroit will never be smooth like that. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

Manual transmissions are ten times worse then an auto with a ratcheting locker. The torque converter in the auto makes for a smooth transition between unlocked and locked. I doubt the poly mount or driveline angle is the cause. The other issue is unequa pressure or tread. So driving down the...

No one makes a snorkel for this truck. Everyone uses a Toyota FJ80 I think which fits pretty close and can be had for around $100 if you buy a knock off and not a genuine ARB. You will have to mock it up since the template doesn't fit. Then take a heat gun to the base and pull the upper pievce...

Looking good! I just finished getting my CUCV bumpers on. Working on rear tire and generator carrier for the Dante's Peak CUCV. How did you mount your rear setup? I ended up flipping my frame brackets over and adding some holes so they fit with my tow bar. Im curious to see how you have your...

As long as you aren't near heat or are unsupported you are OK. You should probably convert from the box filter to a spin on head while you are doing this. Go from the hard line on the outside of the frame rail to the mechanical lift pump using a metal stub coming out of the pump to the inside...

Hardline runs up to the passenger side frame rail then goes to rubber. You then have hardline in the engine bay in and out of the engine intake manifold with rubber on the ends. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

I guess you could. I am not a fan of the gear vendors. Way too long of a driveline, have to shrink the rear driveshaft, only works in 2wd, and costs about twice what it should be. I have less in an LS swap then what that thing costs. Now the Ranger overdrive that goes in front of the...

I definitely want to do a swap to get overdrive at this point. The obvious choice is NV4500 as you get a low first gear and overdrive. Plus it needs nothing to run which adds to the reliability factor. But The gear steps are terrible. Plus the overdrive isn't very tall. Where I live, 70mph is...

Yeah that just needs some patch panels... Looks like the front axle is pushed back. Like broken leaf spring center pin. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

This explains the cost... Overlanding = expensive I get it. Without fab tools that makes the decision completely different. I am building a carrier and I bet that I have 5 hours just into thinking and buying parts. I have about $400 just in parts and havent bought steel yet. I will play...

Whatever you have, end up with hydroboost brakes. In 85 I think GM switched to a hydraulic clutch. If that's the case, congratulations! You have one of the most rarest parts. The hydraulic pedal bracket for a square nose. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk
