CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

[Commander5993]

I got the answer to getting that steel line on...don't tighten the pump to the block...just start the bolts and start the steel line at the same time...get it screwed on almost all the way then tighten the bolts to the block. If need be I think there's a stud that holds the steel line tight to the block...can pop that loose too. As far as the glow plug card you don't need to remove the card or do much other than wire a ground switch to the second wire in the gp harness...can get the wait light if you hit the third wire too. Push button in the cig lighter spot.

Thanks so much for the tips, now that you brought that up I think that I may have done that originally with the line. Also the rod didn't fall out this time, I even felt in there a bit and didn't feel anything. But I thought it was just my memory crossing over to something else I had worked on.

That pushrod can't "pop out" and go down into the engine can it??

It may have just been stuck in there with some oil build up or something and was enough to keep it from falling out. Guess I'm going to have to take the pump back off now to find out. Which I'd have to take it loose to install the line anyway.

I don't think I've ever done a pump where that shaft didn't fall down into the cover pocket. I always pop it out and cover it in grease. I hope it did stay up, though, because you probably bent the pump bolting it together. Thing is you'd really have to ramajammit in with the block bolts...that steel line is a simple 3/8 brake line. Can make them pretty easy. Doing these on the ground is tough...just high enough to be hard to reach. Luckily my son and I have that part down pat since we replaced all of ours and got the last one to 20 minutes.
