I ended up going down an interior rabbit hole and took the dash apart to rebuild the gauge cluster. There wasn’t many screws holding it in because a lot of the mounts have broken off. I think I’ll need a new cluster to mount everything back into. The gear indicator is also broken. Im...

Thanks so much @cucvrus. Do I need to change the seal on the transmission side too? Today I was working on tidying up some wiring under the dash and adding a cigarette lighter power socket in the ash tray when I came across this module on the dash board. It looks like it’s possibly an antenna...

You Sir are the man. Thanks so much!

Well I finally dropped the transfer case. I went and picked up one of those low lift tranny jacks from harbor freight and that really saved the day especially the safety strap. The transfer case looks good but that adapter is cracked to all hell. Once I have a replacement adapter I will...

You mean to create a whole new brake line from that brake drum to the T-block? Is there anyway I can just flare the line that’s on there and add a new fitting? I’ve never done this before so I have no idea. Thanks so much Update** ok I did some homework and I see what you’re talking...

Looks like it’s just one of the hard brake lines going from the rubber hose block to the driver side rear wheel. I shook it and it broke right off. https://streamable.com/9pusj4

Yes this is the part I need to replace. Please send me a PM when you find one. I will investigate the brake line issue in the mean time. Also, if I just want the transmission mounts and not the combo kit with the motor mounts, is this what I'd need...

New issue discovered.... So my brake pedal has always been pretty loose and spongy. You'd press it down all the way and then right at the end of travel of the pedal would it apply the brake and stop the vehicle. So I popped open the master cylinder and saw that the fluid level was really low...

it’s raining pretty bad today so I won’t be able to get to it right now. But please send me a PM and let me know if you do have an extra adapter you can sell to me. Thanks a lot I appreciate it.

Thanks so much! I hate waiting for parts too, but in the mean time I try to get other little things fixed. Today I replaced a broken battery tray stud. I had to drill out the broken piece and then I cut down some threaded rod to the correct length and threaded it into the hole. I add a nut...

I found the crack and I think I got really lucky. The crack is on the adapter and the trans and transfer case look to be fine. I guess I’ll order a new adapter and some new mounts and replace them. Is there a source out there for new adapters or am I just going to have to grab a used one off...

Yes I know that but I have 4 weeks to wait for the GVOD so I’ll just get it cut down later or get another drive shaft made so I can still keep the stock one… I know that sounds wasteful but I wanna be able to drive her in the mean time. I also have another cucv back at home that could use a...

Thank you, this is the type of answer I was hoping for. I degreased and sprayed the tranny area while there was a break in the rain. Tomorrow I will get under there and try to get a good luck at everything and take some photos. That does make sense that the bolts may have backed out on the...

I really hope there isn't any damage, but if there is I guess it's just more money unfortunately. I just want to hit the road, but things keep coming up. So I was thinking about pulling the TC, but I kinda have some doubts doing it. For one, I'm a one man show and don't have any help. I'd...

I pulled the drive shaft this morning and it was indeed dented and the ujoint completely came apart when I pulled it out, too. I dropped the front and rear drive shafts off to a shop in Milwaukee and they’re going to rebuild the rear and install new u joints front and rear. I haven’t had the...

I got some new tires installed today. I went with Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 285/75/16. I love the way the truck looks now. But unfortunately there is a new issue. I didn't mention it earlier but the truck had some vibration/droning at round 40mph. At low speed it's fine, and I can throttle...

Thanks! I spent a lot of time cleaning under the hood, but it could still use some more cleaning lol. I wanted to paint the air cleaner like I did the valve covers, but I didn't want to lose that warning sticker. Anywhere to get more of those? I definitely want to get the correct batteries...

She's back together and running great! I only took her around the block real quick, but so far so good. Will drive it more tomorrow. Thanks so much @cucvrus ! I wouldn't have done this without your support and encouragement! I saved 1000s of dollars and learned how to wrench on a 6.2. I...

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of updates for the past week. I'm pretty much done! I got everything installed except the intake manifold. I'm planning to start it up tomorrow, but I just wanted to know how I should go about it. @cucvrus I was thinking I should crank it over and get the...

Got the fuel pump installed today. Was a real PITA but I got her done! Tomorrow I plan to get the valve covers and all the water block stuff back on.
