There is a very large number of CUCV owners in the Austin area. You aren't alone with this problem on an island. That being written. Yes, it is much cheaper and satisfying to do the work yourself. I would suggest you click the "Home" button at the top left of the screen. Then go to the CUCV...

So I logged 1225 miles in 3 days. Running 76 mph for a few hundred miles got me 16 to 17 mpg. 82 mph for 317 miles and 3000 feet of elevation gain got me 13.6. 82 mph had a steady 2-3 psi of boost on flat ground with 650° to 800° egt. Which was all well and good until long grades came along. I...

I am under the impression all of the CUCV trucks had the same engine from the factory the entire production run. They have the same cast engine number and the same part number. My 1985 versions do great.

Exactly, that is why I have just left it. I topped the Cowdog off with fuel this morning on my way to work. Tomorrow I will load it with gear and youth. 15 of us are going to drive all day and about 600 miles to Guadalupe Mountains National Park. We plan to summit the highest peak in Texas...

Antenna Climber has made and sold some in the past. Otherwise, you are looking at finding a good used one somewhere.

Post #169 in this thread shows my pictures of the rear M1008 bumper and brackets before they got installed. I ended up cutting the frame some and moving the brackets on the bumper just a little bit. Except, I welded one of them back on the bumper about 1/4" too high. So, now I have to live...

Those do look very well made and seem to be a viable choice for the M1009 trucks if you already have a receiver hitch installed. Having written that. I built a swing away carrier for my Cowdog Suburban. It functions perfectly, holds a pair of Gerry cans or a Gerry can and my CO2 tank, HILIft...

There are 3 main parts that have to work together for the glow plugs to function. The temperature sensor in the drivers side head at the rear, the glow plug relay and the glow plug card. Plus all the wires in between, the glow plugs themselves, both batteries load tested at full strength, the...

Jennifer doesn't call you Evil Joe for no reason. Yes, the GL1100 would be worth a road trip.

If you have fuel at the the 8 injectors. Then the pink wire is connected and the solenoid is working. It also means the engine should start. Are you getting any dirty white smoke out the exhaust while cranking? If so, that means fuel but no heat inside the engine. Back to the glow plugs to...

Chris, no worries on too much boost. It is neat to actually get above 10 psi. Just to know it can. I imagine the times it gets that high will be few and far between. I purposely left the GEP NA 6500 bottom end alone and kept the 22.5:1 compression pistons. I wanted as much non turbo umph as...

That looks good. I like the running boards and how your rear cargo doors actually look closed all the way.

Thank you gentlemen. I topped off this morning. 432 miles on the tank that was filled the day I noticed no boost. All the hot rodding around, daily driving to work and over 200 miles of 70-80 mph cruising still got me over 14 mpg. It was actually .24 below my total average since new. (These...

So Colton who is now a 22 year old senior in the A&M Corps of Cadets had an interesting summer. The airport here in town he has worked at for years is getting the runway repaved. No planes in or out means no need for a helper doing maintenance. He stayed in College Station and did meal delivery...

It has been a few years since I had one apart. However, I am pretty sure it just dumps the return on top. When I added a 6.2 to my M715. I made the fuel tank vent to the air filter on a stock truck my fuel return line. That dumps fuel into the fuel filler neck on that truck. Almost 8 ye and...

It will go faster. My Gasser will stay in the 52-55 range until an up hill pushes it back down to around 42-46. Enjoy any speed runs in the cool weather. I discovered that 48 mph is all I could do in the summer time and not be getting past 210°.

Plus power steering pump and pulley.

Thank you.

Do you have the special $50 oil in the transmission? My NV4500 was loud like that when I installed it in the M715. I changed the fluid and it got better. But not gone. It has slowly over the years gotten louder again. Judging by the number of used NV4500’s out there with bad input shaft...

Check your tail lights too. Somewhere in the back of my head I seem to think the tail lights and dash lights are on the same fuse. Did you try messing with the light switch twist? Those switches were not the best quality when new.
