    Windshield rubber m1031

    Not to hijack post or stray off topic from OP but; From the looks of those rusty/old cans I would re-think using that free paint. All that hard work and time your son put in to his ride can be ruined by batch of bad paint. It may look ok at first but it could start peeling off in short time...

    A multimeter is the first thing you want in your tool box when you own a CUCV

    Blown head gasket or something else?

    My money says cracked head or heads and not the gaskets; oh wait, it will be your money. You need to pull the heads and by default you will be installing new gaskets anyways. Drop the heads off at a reputable shop and have them checked.

    Dark Seas M1008 Project

    They are for the vans but fit the 1008 trucks and 1009 blazers just fine. You may have to drill a new hole for mounting.

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    That could be a good thing for you not to purchase one now. The EV industry is evolving as we speak. The future EVs will be way more affordable and get twice to three times the driving range with the new battery technologies their working on. If you buy now you will be instantly behind the...

    How do you bolt radio antenna mounts to truck?

    Old thread but: Nutsert is another term/brand name. I have a complete kit and love it. One draw back, you will tend to Nutsert everything you work on.

    Aftermarket Radiator Questions- Cap with Deeper Neck

    That sounds like a bad business plan for Liland Global if they want to last in business for more than a few years. I don't need a radiator yet but I wont buy one from them after hearing about your problems with their service.

    Show room quality. I feel I would have to wash my hands first just to look at it. Great job.

    M1102 cracked drawbars at A frame

    Too many rocks at one time in your crusher? Or was it one of your "slightly but neatly overloaded" firewood hauls

    Mep803a wiring to home panel questions?

    Depends if your trying to hook up a portable generator or installing a whole house standby generator system. My install was a 20 K Cummins standby with a 200 amp auto transfer switch. Expect to spend $900.00-$1,500.00 on the switch or $6,000.00 + on a complete system + installation extra. Check...

    M1009 lost all electrical power

    I still think it was a bad battery. My M1009 acted the same way as your ride and had me buffaloed for days. I went through all the motions of checking everything electrical. I even disconnected and cleaned all the grounds and fuse holders with no joy. The battery and its connections was the...

    M1009 lost all electrical power

    So the front battery must have ended up being bad?

    M1009 lost all electrical power

    IMHO & IMPE If your front battery is bad as you stated, you should paus all other repairs in till you replace it. My M1009 acted the same way and it turned out to be a bad battery that had a few of the cells shorted. Low voltage can and most likely will destroy your starter relay under the dash...

    Polaris MV850

    Sorry for your lose. I was still wondering how he got ahold of the MV850 in the first place. His actual comment when I questioned it was "I have a connection with an agency that allows me to get stuff like this" The government was not selling/surplusing them directly to the public back in...
