    My M1009 IS HERE! Pictures and video!

    The splines on the inside of the steering wheel are made to engage with the steering shaft in only one position. If you look closely, you will see an area where there is a tooth missing, and also, the horn button only will go into the horn slot, so re-aligning the steering wheel should not be...

    "Starts and Runs" M1009 not running...

    Sshhh... Don't tell anyone! They might think I know something. Let's just keep this secret between us, and the CUCV.

    brakes locking up need help

    May I recommend a 12# sledge minimum... What about the kinuter valve? Have you tried adjusting that?

    "Starts and Runs" M1009 not running...

    If your "wait" light is not coming on, your GPs are not warming up. You can waste your time bleeding the system, but it aint going to help. Do you know where your GP controller card is under the dash? It is in a big plastic box located near the fuse panel. There is a tab on each side you will...

    GP controller card question

    Try taking your card to your local Radio Shack. Make sure you find someone there who knows electronics well enough to operate a solder iron safely, and they may be able to fix it for you. I had a LED burned out on the circuit board of my 2006 Chevy 2500HDs AC control panel. The only way to fix...

    th400 shot or not??

    I usually would charge $125 per move, which is either installing or pulling it out. If someone wanted me to round-trip it, than I would usually charge them a flat $200, so for one of my TH400 jobs, one would expect to pay around $1000, but as most of my customers would tell you, they never drove...

    Tubes required for super singles?

    I'm sorry man, just been starting some new meds lately the VA gave me and been a little more impulsive lately. You're right, I will stay out of your thread from now on. Not another peep from me. Good luck with your tires, and I am sure they will look great. Oh, and one other thing: I'm rubber...

    One thing led to another

    GimpyRobb, what are you doing with a pic of my mom on your avatar?!?!? Now you know why I breast-fed until I was 9 - or was it 10?

    "Starts and Runs" M1009 not running...

    I would do the GPs first. In my experience with the last 10 CUCVs I've bought, the ones that would not start with a fresh battery charge fired right up with a new set of GPs. However, if it really start and run before, try a very small squirt of Rosanol lighter fluid into the air intake. Rosanol...

    th400 shot or not??

    I usually charge about $800 for a bench job with rebuilding a TH400 and a new HD, 6-lug TC, along with a modification to the center support, called a dual-direct feed, and a shift kit from Transgo installed. $500 for a basic rebuild and new TC is more than fair. Just make sure the cooler lines...

    Maybe your husband can help you. I am stultified at the amount of time you are using for mounting tires. Will you be at the GA Rally by any chance? Personally, I was ignoring this thread until it was brought to my attention someone was still talking smack to me. Are you familiar with the mud...

    VIN Issue

    If the deuce I buy is missing it's data plates, can I still get it titled and plated?

    I asked a question here, and then found a more appropriate thread to ask it in. Sorry guys, my bad.

    th400 shot or not??

    After working in different trans shops for a decade, then opening up my own, I have to agree there are some real rip-off artists out there. I have found being absolutely honest does all the advertising I ever needed. Anyway, the fluid from the pan does enter the pump first, but it is filtered...

    Florida Guys - Who is up for a mid September Ride?

    I just found a dry lake bed with a couple of ponds left today about 5 miles from my place here in High Springs. There are houses with boat docks going out to nothing surrounding it. There is also a public park that backs up to it and gives access to all the FWD trails snaking through it...

    M35A2 LED Headlights

    I'm not sure what his price is for the LEDs, but for a regular 28V bulb, he is charging $20, which is cheap. The guy is in Florida and he owns Hawthorne Tractor supply. If you are interested, PM me and I will find out his number from the guy that was telling me about him. I just found the number...

    SF97 RV Registration?

    Go to the contact link on GL and start a chat session. Ask Heidi, or whoever answers, about this and if she can't answer it, she will probably direct you to who can.

    To Rebuild or not to Rebuild TH400

    The TH400 is easier to build than a TH350, IMHO, in that the low/reverse piston on the TH350, which is the same exact piece in the 700R4 BTW, requires a special compressor tool to remove the snap ring holding it in place. That snap ring is sometimes tricky to put back in for the beginner...
