    Ahh, great! :) I probably can locate Subu/Tahoe tank here locally. As i remember, my ´98 Tahoe has metal tank. Still better than this original small one. And i dont like to keep spare tire down there anyway. Thanks! Might slightly help with weight balance too.

    Another day.... Tank is not bad at all. I found one bigger hole (was plugged with epoxy) and some smaller pinholes. Inside is descent, when i remove this surface rust. Even sock is pretty clean. Seems that our army always used clean diesel :) Before i start welding tank - it is damn small...

    FNG, first CUCV. What to do first...

    Well, 1009 is not fast car even with 31" tires. You have to get used to it. On the other side, 3.08 allows you to drive on freeway with pretty descent speed.

    I started to think (strange, i know) - i ordered electric lift pump for 6.5 engine. Is it OK or maybe too high psi? Otherwise nothing new, rains every day, only managed to fix front lights grounds, replaced all outside bulbs and found that hi-low beam switch probably is shot. No hi-beams...

    Mike, i think there is my problem - took cover off, bowl was full of fresh fuel. Solenoid clicked, moved - i just cant see there, what it moves. Yes, i looked manual and know that it opens/closes metering valve. Anyway, cleaned everything, put cover back and same thing - nothing. Today is late...

    You are right. But in current time this strange GP wiring is working. I just want to start engine, then it is "back to original" wiring time. Also i have power to fat IP wire, jumped also power to thinner green wire. I search, maybe i find here locally electric fuel pump - 6.5D or something...

    I´ll try. And yes - this car has great grounds :D You should have seen my face when i opened hood. Edit: opened 4 injectors, there was some air, crancked - still no fuel from there. Maybe lift pump is just old and weak? Opened screw from fuel filter - when cranking, there was dripping, but not...

    Thanks! Jes, big pink shows 12V. Maybe i just need run starter longer? It ran great, quicker than my 12V 1009. But after some 5 times by 10 seconds battery was pretty much empty.

    Took picture about this "clicaty-clackaty" from other topic: As i understand, i must take IP upper cup off and check is this solenoid working correctly? If not, there no be fuel from injectors or return line? I am not good at all with diesels.

    Situation so far: * fresh fuel, fresh fuel filter * lift pump is working * fuel filter primed * glow plugs are working * no fuel from IP return line * green wire to IP "clicaty-clackaty" relay has no power, made wire directly to battery plus. very quiet click... still no fuel from IP return...

    OK, finally home! Came on trailer, whole day was raining. Tomorrow i try to start engine. Today one friend come to help me :) First visible flaws: tank is leaking, drivers side cab corner is rot, same thing on floors, missing lights switch, few dents. Otherwise in pristine condition. I am...

    Thanks for information and warning. I have use for this rack. Probably just relocating drivers side-one to M1009. But first i must try to start it and get it home. My checklist is: * check fuses, power to IP, power to glow plugs; * check glow plugs ohms (as i understand, without working plugs...
