What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

[combatmech]

As promised....pics. The CEC18 caps fit pretty well on their own. I applied some RTV sealant to the outside ring of the cap and to the antenna hole. Slip in the cap and remove the excess sealant. Keeps the water out just fine

I wanted a way to haul one of my mil bikes without having to use a trailer. Had a 20% off Harbor coupon plus they had their 400 lb max receiver hitch bike rack on sale for 133. Didn't want to add a receiver to the M1009 so got 2 hunks of 2X4X3/8 and 2 pieces of 1 1/2 X3/8 square to weld in as filler and 2" angle . Drilled 2 holes for the hitch pins and all I need now is to paint it.

I in my wandering came across a odeyessy power port. I went and installed in my M1028 in the ashtray hole and grounded out to the ground point under the dash. Ran power from the front battery from a fuse terminal to in engine area.

Added a 2" ORD lift - Rear shackle flip, front springs, greasable bushings, shocks, rod ends, break pads, calipers, and all new break lines.

Looks good for a 2 inch lift.

MWMULES, How does your 1009 ride with the bike on the back?

GONE ARE THE WOES OF THE STANADYNE MODEL 80! Just finished installing my Racor 400R/ R60T mod. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Complete with fuel heater and WIF sensor.

 

[DIESELGREEN]

Forgot to update last weekend's completion of my gauges. Oil pressure,coolant temp, and trans temp. Also insralled a Derale cooling trans pan with an extra 4.5 qt fluid capacity.

Looks like the one in my F250

When you say what a difference, you mean it runs better, or just the thought of not having to deal with the old system? What advantage of heating the oil?

Do you have any pics of the derale pan?

Not right now. Look it up at summit racing, part number 14202. It has a bung for a temp sensor, but you can't use it because it's right up against the front driveshaft. I used the pressure port on the left side of the transmission case for the temp probe.

MWMULE, That bike rack is great! When you get a chance could you post a photo or two of how you attached the steel tube to the frame/bumper/shackle lift points?

Breather Valve had been leaking some oil for a while. Finally got around to pulling it off, cleaned it up nice inside and out, replaced the hose clamp and I think that fixed it. I think it had just gotten all gummed up and/or clogged at some point. Oil change, pulled the wiper motor assembly apart because the sprayer hasn't been working right for a while. I think it wasn't getting suction, air leak. Cleaned it up pretty well and tightened it back up. It started pumping, but the white plastic gear inside was sticking, also leading to the intermittent problem, so I pulled that off and the grease that was originally in there was more like glue. Cleaned that all off and re-greased it. I can see where I'm going now! Next up: dedicated tranny cooler (I tow really heavy trailers often), 4" ORD lift kit, 27" HMMWV tires and beadlocks. Also need to repack front bearings and replace diff and transfer case seals. Yippy!

Replaced the passenger headlight and the adjustment screw.

Started stereo install......

pics to follow.

I used "nibbler" to trim the stock radio hole. WOW how cool is the "nibbler" tool!!!! I figured it would take forever to cut through dash. and then I mashed the trigger on the "nibbler" and I was practically done.....
IT's an AIR POWERED Nibbler..... by craftsman

new pics... looking for the afters...???

 

[OL AG '89]

I did the Monstaliner Bed Liner install this past weekend 6-25/6-26-11...
Only used 1 gal of 2 gal kit......
It looks GREAT....
Still smells a little but the truck sits closed up all day in the heat. I hope the smell goes away with time!!!!
Here are some before pics

Monstaliner 6-25/6-26-11 Install after pics....

 

[OL AG '89]

and last couple for Monstaliner install....
I think the 1 gal application will be thick enough. I don't haul anything but people and dogs in the truck, so shouldn't see too much abuse. If it looks like it's getting beat up, I'll apply the 2nd gal in the next couple of months.... shelf life of 12 months...

I'm looking at adding the gauges, but want to keep the idiot lights. Did you keep lights or just replace with gauges. If you kept gauges what additional connections did you use to add the gauges? Electrical or mechanical? I'm looking at electric, just because I don't hot oil finding its way into cab....
