    You can kill the ground and bury a switch under the dash...I don't like switches on power sides...to much possibility of failure. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Yes you can...it's easier to kill the ground to the relay under the dash...the 12 volt side ground. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Trying to keep my CUCV alive (fuel tank help)

    That's great news that you got it all together! One thing I forgot is now that you have a fresh tank you might want to change the box fuel filter now too. Have it all in good shape at one time. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Introduction + heater issue

    There needs to be a solid ground on the motor. You can run a separate wire to ground or clean off the mounting points of paint and such. I do a wire up to the bus bar right above it off a mounting bolt for the motor. It needs a decent sized wire since it can pull 20 amps on high which will...

    Oooppps!! I missed it had a connection on the end! Yeah mine have that too and are not hooked to anything. The other blue wire coming out of the box is the starter relay wire that kicks the starter on. 2 of mine had that clipped and had a ford starter relay botched in them. I removed all that...

    I think that's the starter wire. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    I think there's a pair on marketplace by me if I remember right. Pop your search south a touch and see if they're still there. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Options for Emergency Jack Replacement

    I have the original stuff but threw a small 4 ton bottle jack in there too with a 1/4 inch chunk of steel to put under it. 1 is none 2 is one I guess. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Stock there's like roofing tar paper between the straps and tank. That stuff can fall apart when you take the old tank out. Might need some. I've used a inner tube as well. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Trying to keep my CUCV alive (fuel tank help)

    Just imagine trying to line up both brackets to the frame that have 4 bolts each to go in. With the straps tight it's extremely difficult to do that. So I leave them loose and move them around until all 8 bolts are in the tighten everything down. Makes it a 5 minute deal. I don't bother with a...

    Trying to keep my CUCV alive (fuel tank help)

    I'm fortunate as my local advance stocks the tank...with the discounts it is right at 80$. It's not a hard job since it's empty. One thing I suggest when you do go to bolt the mount brackets on is leave them loose so you can get the frame bolt holes to line up the tighten the tank staps down for...

    Trying to keep my CUCV alive (fuel tank help)

    I did that to one of mine as well. A small transfer pump fills up the passenger side pretty quick. I popped the roll over valve off the passenger side since I didn't want that blocking fuel if it ever got stuck. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Trying to keep my CUCV alive (fuel tank help)

    The third is for a civi that has a charcoal canister. 2 is all you really need. Just cap it off. That one's been changed at some point. Not a big deal at all. I use both lines that go all the way into the tank...the third one might come with a roll over valve in it or it's short...I cap that...

    Trying to keep my CUCV alive (fuel tank help)

    Not at all. The 4th outlet is for a diesel outlet that isn't for the engine like a heater. Not needed unless you want that. I've had to replace all the straps on the tanks I've done so it's nice to hear you won't have to! My one truck shows full until it hits 10 gallons then goes down from...

    Trying to keep my CUCV alive (fuel tank help)

    Should fit fine. You might need new straps. If the gage works I'd get a new sock for the pickup at the least. The tank will come with a new seal. Get a few feet of new fuel line. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Why Did M1008s Come with NP208 vs NP205s

    Sorry, I was meaning to save that as a draft but hit reply instead!! Was going to say, towing the 208, with the pump on the main shaft, in neutral, it should be able to be towed without taking the driveshafts off and keep lubricated. I think that makes it so the tailshaft of the trans won't...

    Part 5 6 7 is the oil pump. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Why Did M1008s Come with NP208 vs NP205s

    I'm curious about flat towing. Being the 205 is gear drive, not sure if it has an oil pump in it like the 208, would flat towing be the reason?

    I found a nos one in the box a few weeks ago...had the filter on it too. 300$ meant it stayed in that box! Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk
