Mine's been my daily driver since 2004. Apart from the occasional mechanical issue. its been very reliable. Sure have learned a lot about CUCV's.

There's something wrong here, perhaps you were given a 12V starter instead. I can assure you that a 27MT can handle the torque. Get an original 27MT direct drive and rebuild it. All they need is new brushes, bushings and a bendix. I do it myself, get 6 years out of it, on second rebuild now. You...

I had the same situation. One of the tabs broke off in the socket, I ad-hocked a small piece of wire inside to make contact with the bulb..been working for years.

Well... I can tell you in my case it certainly isn't the injector return line.

I have similiar on #8 cylinder. Its very minor, not enough to drip on the ground. Been like that for years.

Its easier to get the rear most bolt started first as it has the worst access. Its the harder one to get in so do it first, doing the front one first can lead you to spend hours trying to get the rear bolt aligned. Just thread it on a few turns..then install fuel fitting and tighten fitting, its...

Get an original 27MT direct drive and rebuild it. All they need is new brushes, bushings and a bendix. I do it myself, get 6 years out of it, on second rebuild now. From another member ; The CUCV 27MT starter motor is a heavy-duty part, with increased strength pinion and ring gear teeth. The...

I'm also for the AC60g's. Used them for 8 years, on second set. Best price I've found was around $9 on Amazon.

"This plunger has a shape and fits the cam and also has worn into a specific vertical orientation" What? I've had my rod out several times, the end is perfectly smooth and polished. On the lift pump replacement ; Use a dab of grease to retain the rod in position. Its easier to get the rear...

"Are they not all no shim for CUCV?" I've seen new ones for sale on-line that were advertised for a CUCV. Had a different part number and didn't have "no shim" on the casting. Probably made for the earlier years.

Didn't know about the "mouth size" or if its actually an issue. The part number was correct. I knew there was another one that was not a "no shim" housing. I didn't install mine, but kept is as a spare. I'm assuming that as the bolt hole spacing is correct and the Bendix engages the flexplate...

I bought one a while back from these guys, comes with the bushing ; http://store.alternatorparts.com/partno511111delcooe198556710496538lesternos6343.aspx

Isn't 30 seconds of cranking too much? I don't think I ever used longer than 10 second intervals.

"Ditto" on making sure the filter is first purged of air. Then I would remove the glow plugs, makes it easier on starter and batteries. Put a piece of cardboard an each side inner fender, shows spray marks well and makes clean up effortless. Then loosen all 8 injectors at the same, take care...

Only a little fuel out of your filter drain. You'll have to bleed the air out of your injector lines. Remove glow plugs, this will lessen the load on the batteries and its easier on the starter. Put a piece of cardboard along the inner fenders for the fuel to spay on. Less cleanup later and...

Sounds like your fuel pressure sensor on the back of the fuel filter base drawing air. After you shut it down, crack the fuel cap to release vacuum. In the morning it will fire right back up. I drilled a tiny hole so I wouldn't have to remember to do this every time. Ran for a couple of years...

That melted battery post looks like what happened to me once. I had been working on the fuel lines leaning over on top of the passenger side. Inadvertently my weight had caused the cable end to tilt on the post. Went to start and sparks shot out, a small bit of melted lead had dripped from one...

Make sure you don't buy a Carter lift pump, they are garbage and fail prematurely. Get an AC Delco pump.

What I meant to say was the park position for the link arm was 180 off, at the passenger end of its travel. Looking at it, it was obvious that I had to reverse it as the down stroke would have been first. Took it for a drive in the rain. Stopped working after an hour with the wipers close to the...

I'm just working on my leak. Its from the pinch weld where the windshield rubber sits on. A little bit of rust starts here and allows a gap where water goes over the edge. Had water coming from both side corners. About 20 small rust spots found. Cleaning up the rust and will put some silicone in...
