Electrical gurus. Here's a good one. My wipers have been getting slower and slower, it got so bad that they barely worked anymore. Took the steering column apart and replaced the wiper switch, and that helped a ton. Dare I even say it's close to OEM. But here in lies they mystery. The wiper...

Hello everyone. Just a question about a potential M1009 build. Being a blazer, those frames aren't super strong. But, here is the thing. Allegedly, the 6.2 was rated at 165hp and 330 ftlbs of torque, which probably none of us are getting especially these days. Fully dressed, a 6.2 diesel is...

Hey everyone. Thought I'd make another post about this project. A buddy of mine is stuffing a 6bt in his M1009. New 14 bolts/d60's in and whatnot... But this got us thinking. We need to convert to 12V of course and I know there are write-ups on this. But let's get more technical. Is it possible...

Posting this on behalf of a friend of mine, got me stumped as well... When performing a Cummins swap on a CUCV, what did you all do with your hydroboost setup? Did it fit right in with the Dodge power steering pumps? I know that the 6bt was supposed to have the air pump right in front of the...

So I have this unusual situation. I was recently hit with some driveline vibration on my M1009, but it happened in a way that u haven't quite heard happen in the way mine did. At low speed (1-5ish mph) my truck as a noticable driveline vibration that shakes the cab enough for it to be heard and...

I have a fuel filter from a 6.5. I was told that these fuel filters can work with the 6.2, however there are some wiring concerns I have. My M1009 is from 1985, and it has the stock fuel filter assembly. I want to make sure I get the wiring correct on this. On the 6.5 filter I have, there is a...

Hey all, I wanted to discuss a wiper problem I have been having, but hear me out. My wipers are slow as heck, sometimes they do not even move. But let me tell you what I did thus far.... -Replaced with new wiper motor (4 times) -Cleaned all grounds -Made my own ground -Checked fuse box -Cleaned...

Hey everyone, I have a question that's been on my mind for quite some time. On my CUCV my wiper motor's fluid pump broke so I replaced it with a cheapo one from AutoZone. I noticed that the motors we almost too weak to move the wipers, so I tried swapping them... 4 more times with the same...

Hello folks! So I have this question regarding the M1009's brakes. When it it raining outside and the roads are slick, or maybe you are on a dirt hill or something, if you hit the brakes, harder and harder, do your rear wheels lock up first? I noticed that the the rear passenger, some sometimes...

I have a question for those of you that have spent a lot of time with the ol' 10 Bolters on the M1009. I was curious on how you all think a 10 Bolt will respond to an air locker... Reliability and strength wise. I run 33's, 4 inch lift, stock M1009 otherwise. Let's set aside anything...

Hello everyone! I know a lot of us stick with our OD paints on our CUCVs, however, I recently met up with a friend of mine that wanted to get his CUCV repainted. The body is pretty straight, just about no rust to speak of, other than 1 or 2 bubbles on the body, so all around is in great shape...

Good day everyone! I just wanted to throw this out there as clarification before I ask my question. I checked around the forum, as well as other sites if anyone has done what I want to work on, and there is little to no information out there on the matter. I want to put a roof rack on my M1009...

Hey all! I have been extensively reading on about all the experiences people have had with a BANKS turbo kit on their 6.2's. Sounds like generally I have read that the kit will indeed give your truck a bit of a boost (pun intended) and it more or less does a pretty good job at it too. I am...

Hey all, just thought I would take a chance to gain some knowledge on these spin on fuel filters. I read the posts here on the matter since months ago, and I think my M1009 is finally due for one since the leaks are getting significant. I see a lot of folks that will use a simple NAPA spin on...

Howdy! Another day, another thing worth fixin' right? Alright so I had something strange happen to my truck today. I was at a red light, foot on the brake pedal, and it was holding pressure just fine, then suddenly fell like an inch (while maintaining same pressure on pedal) then held for a...

Howdy folks! I have a question involving the replacement of a carrier for an aftermarket locking differential. I want to keep the ring and pinion gears since I want to keep the stock 3.06 gear ratio found on the M1009 in its stock configuration. I see a lot of information involving the the...

Just a quick question folks. So I was diagnosising some problems with my wiper motor, and I replaced it and problem solved. But I have a new side project I want to work on. Does anyone know how to remove that turn signal lever? (The switch is 100% operational, I just want to replace it for...

Hey all, I decided recently to try to test out the rear traction device that the M1009's are known to have. I saw a video online once on how to test a G80 (and I figured the test should probably work for my truck) which was the jack up both rear wheel and spin one by hand one way (the other...

Hello Everyone! Another day another project right? So I have been thinking. I am tired (pun intended) of carrying my spare in the trunk and I want to make a swing out tire carrier. I am aware that there have been lots of posts about this on the forums, however the reason why I am making this...

Hello everyone, sorry for the second question I had today, and I apologize for the repetitive nature of this question of the forum, but I did have a couple questions to hopefully clear up some grey area answers on the matter. I have an M1009, slowly turning it into an overlanding vehicle. For...
