Howdy folks, wishing everyone a great weekend. Has been raining here for several days so the CUCV (M1009) has seen a lot of rain, and thus the need for wipers.

Hey y'all, just wanted to get some opinions on something. I have an M1009, and I'm trying to call around and see how much it'll cost to get my transmission resealed.

Hey all, I'm just finishing up putting on 4" lift springs in the front of my M1009 K5... My biggest question is do I need to correct my pinion angle? (The spring is symmetrical and doesn't have any shims on it, just as you'd find on any K5 lift kit for the front springs). I know the idea behind...

Hey all, hope you're all gearing up for a great 4th of July soon! I had a quick question in regards to my pinion angle. I bought a Rough Country lift kit (4" new leafs all around) and it was a botched kit. I was on the phone with a few reps and they told me about how after they "revised" the...

Hey folks, my M1009 has always had a transmission leak. I run through about 500mL per 1000 miles or so. This is fast enough for me to warrant some concern.
