    M1010 Convoy Truck

    It's been a while since there has been any real progress on the M1010. I finally got the engine back from the machine shop. They are about 2 years behind with any engine repairs. Like most places today, can not find anyone worth a darn to work.... Anyway, the engine is back together and will be...

    PA GM 14066255 CUCV Electromagnet Relay

    GM high idle solenoid for the CUCV. Not an easy to find item. NOS and still in the GM box. I will test prior to shipping to ensure that they do work. Boxes may show signs of storage or wear. They are not inexpensive, I know that, no need to remind me or to ask for a better price. Hard to find...

    Are there tips and tricks to get the side mirrors to stay in place?

    Agreed. I only use Scotch 88. Expensive, but well worth the price. 33 is designed for indoor use, 88 is the only brand of tape that we use to weatherproof antenna connections.

    Are there tips and tricks to get the side mirrors to stay in place?

    I wrapped mine with electrical tape to increase the diameter of the plastic tube.

    1986 M1008 5/4 CUCV

    The knob in question is to open the vent down by the drivers left foot. There is one on the passenger side as well. Pulling on it opens the vent, pushing it in closes the vent. Use caution, 40 year old plastic can become very brittle.

    Keeping a M1009 alive

    CUCV Injector Lines This is for an entire set of used lines. $99 If you can find them, new ones can run from $38 to $56 each. OFI has some, but not the exact one you are looking for. The 6.5L #8 line might work with some minor modifications. OFI Injection lines EBay has multiple listings for...

    Windshield wiper and washer repair

    My M1008 seemed to have an issue with the washer and wipers, the washers would not squirt and the fast wiper speed would not work. Sometimes they would and other times they would not. The low speed seemed to work just fine. Thinking that the wiper motor assembly was bad, I changed it out and...

Got the Black and Brown camo on, but didn't get pictures. Planning on coating the roof inside with the Lizard Skin ceramic insulation this...

    Has anyone installed a cooling system upgrade?

    I have one of the kits on my M1008. Some people think it's not needed and others think it would be a good idea. My thought it's worth a try and would only be beneficial given the history of these engines with blocks and or heads failing. I do not have any data as to it being better or worse...

    Highway 12 Convoy

    This was a one time event and most likely will not be repeated. Sadly, the person that put this Convoy together, passed away prior to the event. The next Convoy is the Jefferson Highway. Starts in E. Grand Fork MN and finishes in New Orleans, LA. Timing is October of this year. MVPA Convoy Info
