    CUCV M1008 Build

    Holy smokes!!!! After all that with the engine it turned out to be cracked! That stinks...guess you're better off just replacing it with the new engine. Are they rebuilds of certain kinds of castings? I've heard there's different ones depending on year. Is the ip matched with the injectors for a...

    Using thicker oil

    Dang that's a tough spot to be in if you need it right now. Putting in the thicker oil can get you by in a pinch. You won't get that much more psi but it might run longer without dropping. I've used that motor honey before on a few engines in the past and can't see it hurting anything. The zink...

    The gasket is tight on the bolts, so I'm hoping it seals it. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    MEP 531A Fix-up Thread

    I didn't know you did a short video of flashing the genset! Just came up after the new video. Now I need that diode and I'm going to check that voltage adjuster...might get power out of it! Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Just watched it. They are fun to get primed! I did mine pull start though since I didn't have a slave cable yet. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Yeah, sorry, I should have taken a pic of the part in the bag! Already installed it, but I bought 2 to do the other side, too. It is a pretty solid gasket. It's not paper, so I hope it lasts! Be curious if it'll crush 2 x if I have to remove it again. I used the old bolts...wondering if I should...

    MEP 531A Fix-up Thread

    Dang I may have to check that on mine since it just spins easily without stopping!! I still need that diode lol....haven't touched that set in a long time!! Might have to give a little more testing on it!! I have been watching a ton of these on sale in New Jersey next week so I may end up...

    M1009 no lights

    High probability it's the 30 amp fuse that runs all that stuff...it will probably test ok but the connection in the box is melted...very common...I use a 90 degree pick and flatten out the 2 contacts in the box so the fuse gets full contact of each side so it decreases resistance. You have...

    MEP Generator Output Waveforms and THD

    Interesting!! I really don't know much about the electrics of how they are made but I know ac pretty good. Curious if it would make a difference once running but not sure. I have been looking at one for mine but so far the 803 has run it fine but thought it would make it easier for it to get...

    MEP Generator Output Waveforms and THD

    I wonder with the ac compressor your seeing the pulse of the compression in the compressor? Changes in load constantly from it? Curious if a soft start would help some but probably just when it turns on. I don't think there's a way to relieve the pulse of a compressor even a radial one. Then...

    I have that stuff too....I love it...this gasket is metal with some kind of gasket coating on it. I hope it works!! I did torque the bolts so hopefully it crushed tight. There wasn't much gasket or whatever they used left. My thought is the axle shaft might have been shifting a tiny bit and...

    So I got the axle seal from the parts store today and replaced it. I found all the bolts weren't all that tight. Came off with a quick hit with the impact. I did find a had the correct socket for the axle nut to remove it if I have to as well. I'm gonna change this diff oil this weekend. Sent...

    Welding safely on a 24V CUCV

    Just from my own personal experience with doing tons of welding on the body with the batteries hooked up, I've never had a problem. Mine are 6tm batteries. I'm not sure what you have in yours. agm batteries may react to welding, but not sure. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Found some more NOS parts the other day. Both mounts are new. I ended up using a green mount that my son dug out of the storage container though since he wanted the tan one. Ground down the old river nuts and they popped right out. Installed new ones and it's all mounted up. Dang axle started...

    That's nice to know! Is the 803 about the same sine as the 802? Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Quality alternator rebuild kits

    Highly recommend ASP Wholesale. I am pretty sure that is who most do on the threads on here. He is in Florida. I have bought at least 4 kits plus other parts from him. Fast shipping too. (727) 312-3133

    Rear floor was removed and everything sand blasted with the pressure washer attachment. Primed and painted everything. Replacement floor fitted and ready to panel bond in. Got some rear seat pockets to replace the ones that were in there. Got about everything we need to finish this up but a set...
