I will say deteriorating fuel lines... when I changed my fuel filter and drained it, there were black specks that were from the fuel line...

It is the first time I have cleaned it since winning the truck. I do think that some new fuel hoses are due on the truck. I will check it again on the next oil change.

I put blue lights in my dash. They were not bright enough... so... I took come contact cement and aluminum foil and coated the areas around the lights with foil to add a reflector. I also put some on the rear of the speedo and fuel gauge. This was the trick. It works great and is plenty...

Belt, Alternator, Drivers Side: DAYCO Part # 15570 will be 1 inch shorter than the 15580. I think the Gates # is just 5570.

Sure... Remove your air cleaner. The top of the IP pump has a hose coming out almost straight up. That is your fuel return line. It is attached to a check valve that is screwed into the top of the IP pump. Remove fuel line. Get a wrench and remove the valve. Take spray cleaner of your...

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!! It is like I'm driving a totally different truck now! Power, Power and more Power... I was driving around laughing out loud... I just cleaned it and did not bust the glass bead out. Took all of 5 minutes. If you have not cleaned it, do it...

All came out very easy and in one piece. As a matter of fact, it was probably one of the easiest fixes I have had yet. She fired up the second I hit the starter button. And I did change all 8.

A sad Buckmaw.... 32 out today and no start... Quick trip to the Parts Haus, Some AC 60's and some new connectors. Now I have to find my grease monkey coveralls...

Has anyone tried this?

Yep, there is a key... I had that WTF look until I hit the TM's... I just used a dowel, hammer to tighten it back.

My 1009 is "Maggie"... in honor of Margaret Thatcher...

Apparently my wife did NOT order the Universal Fit model. This is the part number of the covers in my 1009. Smittybilt 5661031 GEAR O.D. Green Front Seat Cover (5661031) I am very sorry for the mix up.

I will be safe and thanks for the tip...

What would be the safest way to do it. I might be able to borrow a engine hoist, but not counting on it.

If you only paid $500 for it, do a bonded title...

I stopped by the mechanic shop down the street. The manager there use to work on CUCV's in the Army. He looked at it and felt the vibration and said that, in his opinion, the vibration was all wrong for a bad harmonic balancer. He said the likely source was old rubber in the motor mounts made...

Looks like the part is about $62 and not that hard to change. The book says change the HB every 75k miles, so its due.

Started last week or that when I noticed it. When you give it fuel, the vibration seems to subside or is not noticeable. The 1009 has 78,000 on the clock. I'm betting its the harmonic balancer but I wanted to get yalls opinion. What should I look for to see if the balancer is bad?

These are the Universal Covers, however, the older Jeep seats are almost identical to the ones in the CUCV. The only issue I have found is the bottom strap on the seat back is a inch or so too long. It leaves the bottom a hair loose, but its not a deal killer. Here is the link again...

The passenger side Smittybilt GEAR Seat Cover came in yesterday. I had a chance to get out there tonight and install stuff. I also ordered a Molly Vehicle Panel from Supply Captain http://www.supplycaptain.com/index.cfm? ... uct_ID=591 because its cool and I figured I would find a use for it...
