Time to slow down a bit, I had a similar wake up call 2 years back. Went to dinner with my wife and woke up with EMS doing CPR, had a second episode a couple hours later in the hospital, bright and early next morning I got a pace maker installed. It changed my way of thinking and my outlook on...

I was hoping to come in here today and see that it was up and running, might have a bad cell in a battery or justa bad connection. Could be like I did had the charger on a car in my driveway and when I was cleaning up that night I dutifully unplugged everything, including the extension cord...

Boy o boy, I see guy's have been jumping all over this thread! I did a little (meaning very little) lead work back around 1975 or 76 and IIRC that's what I used. Not sure what alloy I used or what alloy yours is. I do used oak paddles with beeswax on them to smooth the lead, I remember quite...

Parts on the way, should be there on Wed. or Thursday. Good luck. Never had to use any Teflon plumbers tape to seal IP lines. Whatever you do, do not get any in where it will end up in the injectors!

Going once!

Nice to have spare parts like that! I didn't mean to sound like I was degrading your truck and apologize for coming off that way. Glad to hear about just the cab, hopefully the PO didn't sand the paint very well before bed lining it.

If you want to pay the shipping I have the line you need. Do not make your own those lines are a specific inside diameter and length.

I could live with the bumpers and the roll bar, those stacks would go, but why the heck would did the dumb PO spray it with bed liner? With me that would have to go or maybe a deal killer.

I remember using wire ties that come on loaves of bread, not sure if it was on a CUCV or not but what works on works on others, I do know I just tightened up the bolts with that thin wire in there.

I used a new set of mounts AND the steel spacer plates that have a removeable bar that goes down to the bellhousing, the plates and mounts give lots of room but I couldn't get the bars to fit. Maybe someday I'll try again.

It reads the resistance from the height of the float and the float doesn't care if it's in gas, water or diesel.

Easy way to see if that core is leaking, place it on a flat level surface and carefully look for any wet spots. If that place on the bottom is a leak then it will show up. Have you tried changing the rad-cap?

Harbor Freight may be your best friend! They have a folding aluminum step stool that has locking legs, I keep one in the back of my Silverado so I can climb in the bed. I've looked for steps for square body trucks and never came up with any decent ones other than running boards. I have had good...

Get a new set of head bolts too, sucks but they are single use only.

Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. I envision some bent rods and maybe a bent/twisted or broken crank. On the good side no valves should be damaged unless they ate some debris. I know, I'm not helping. Truely are sorry this happened.

Junk yard, a couple bucks apiece.

Could be a lock up torque converter, if so NEVER have it locked and come to a stop! 6.2 has enough torque to overcome the lockup clutch and will burn it up in seconds. I think I still have the Tee shirt somewhere. BTW it's not stock if it has twin sticks for the transfer case.

Paint doesn't peel because it's old, that was another issue. I don't know just how old that paint but it may be some old lead based, don't let that bother you! Lead paint covers and lasts great! Just make sure you use a good respirator and have good airflow. Are you using any activator with it...

" New rear springs were sitting on my porch when I got home. Husky 22-403, 2350LBS rated, six leaf, made in Colombia " WOW, here I thought coffee and cocaine was about all that came from Colombia! I was under my long LONG term project and noticed the tranny mounts also oil soaked and dry...

I just want to make sure you know! Two things I see and hope neither give you a problem. #1 the OEM connection to the gear box is splined and that Jeep one is not. does the pinch bolt ride on a 'flat' of the shaft? If not I would refrain from turning the wheel without power steering and try to...
