Here are some updates fellas. When full, sensing terminal on sender to ground was 90 ohms. Removing ground, needs reads full, removing sensing wire, needle reads full, grounding sending wire it reads empty. So the gauge seems to be working pretty well. Cleaned grounds again, and they are all...
Hey all, got another one for ya.
So in my M1009, the fuel needle very recently started reading inaccurate readings. The current situation is when the tank is full my gauge reads 3/4. It also goes to E properly when empty. Here is a small list of what I have done.
-Cleaned ground by rear...
I put together a video of how to remove the inner fenders on my M1009 CUCV. Easy as pie. Hope this helps someone out.

My apologies if we weren't allowed to post any YouTube links! Just thought it might help some people out there since I know it's a pretty tricky job! These vent windows came from my CUCV
Well, looks like there isn't much I can do about this transmission anymore. I've tried so hard to fix anything I could on it to stop the slipping/downshifting. I basically don't have 3rd gear. It'll go into it, but instantly loses it when I give it throttle. I have normal reverse though. I have...
I'll report back once I get the chance to start tearing into it. I called a trans shop, and they kept saying a bad governor would cause a no shift or very poor shift situation, and a bad sprag would cause 2nd gear problems. And a vacuum modulator would have poor shift patterns. Not sure if they...
The leaks were actually discovered to be a clogged breather that shot fluid through the tube but ran down to where I thought was coming out of the bellhousing. Since then it has been repaired at leaks stopped. However, as for this problem, it only developed after it drove for another 15,000...
That's true... Hmm, I'll just bite the bullet and get it checked out, although considering the state of the trans, I might be better off just spending the money and getting another one to swap in myself. Just something to consider at least.
Here's what I can say... When I manually shift to second or first the trans does it without hesitation at any speed, however, with third, it will shift to third but then I can't tell if it's shipping or just dropping to second over and over... My reverse is solid, so I can't immediately so...
Here is all the other details that I can provide. On the highway, when in third gear, it feels as though it just keeps downshifting to second with almost any real throttle input or when going uphill, which obviously causes the engine to just rev up like crazy. But when I let off the throttle...
Hey all, here's a juicy one. My M1009's trans likely isn't slipping since it still pulls, however when I am on the highway, or at least in 3rd gear, if you add any noticeable amount of throttle or start climbing a small hill, the engine revs way up, as though it kicked down to second. When you...
Cummins Swap Hydroboost Questions
To those of you that have swapped a 6bt into a CUCV or any other GM truck with hydroboost, I have a couple questions...
1) There are 3 ports on the back of the power steering pump for the cummins. Did you use all 3? Which is the high pressure and which two are...
