I have a set of 8 Ac Delco 60g´s here , if my CUCV fails to start this winter I´m gonna replace all... I hope I dont break off the old ones ..maybe I get such a special tool aswell..

Well over here in Germany there are 2 expensive M1009s, one is about 17k € and the other one asks 20K€ ... first one is all original and in decent shape (new paint etc.) the 2nd one has the K30 Axles and a winch. (but that one has been on the list for about 4 yrs or so...) Also there is a...

Today I took the M1009 to a washing-place, will put her to "wintersleep" soon...I expect the annoying moving salt shakers to come out of their holes the next days...we do have around 3°C now at night... but she still fires right up when the glowing light goes out. As soon as we have a nice...

let me answer this aswell: Over here such "light" Trucks with a 6.2 V8 Diesel equipped are just not common (or any other motor bigger than a 3.0tdi). Wherever I take my CUCV it gets attention like a real monster-truck .... even when I bring it to work (we do have 100t excavators & 120t quarry...

Well I drive my M1009 almost daylie now, but I´ve been through it aswell (needed a whole new brake system, all fluids & filters changed etc.) ... my advice is: if you can afford it get a "beater" for the time you need to get used to your military K5, and buy from someone who has done some stuff...

I had the same issue with my new MC, replaced it due to wrong fluid of a PO. also replaced the prop.valve and the pedal was spongy at first 1/3 then I drove it around assuming it came from the new brake rotors & pads I installed aswell. it was there for a long time, brakes were good, the rear...

now I am scared of looking into my tailgate. will do that soon, hope I find more funny stuff (like the black&yellow goo in my master brake cylinder (someone used Dot4 to fill up....) or the silikone pieces in my transmission (someone decided a proper gasket might be too expensive.....oh and I...

well if you have diesel at the injectors and the starter spins the engine like it should...maybe aircleaner? how old is that one? if that one is good aswell you might try to prime your whole fuel system again... My cucv needed to be primed 2 times when I changed the fuel filter before it would...

do you have Diesel coming out at the injector nozzles? maybe your injection pump sucked air ...then priming the filter is useless. make sure all your grounds are good & all cables are where they belong to do you have smoke coming out the exhaust while cranking? if not then you maybe wont have...

Today I took my M1009 to a local Motocross hall (yes, Indoor Offroad) and did some "light" offroading through the course... sometimes they let "Cars" on the track and I took the chance to get my CUCV dirty. But I soon noticed thats its not there for Trucks (small ramps and stuff, had to go in...

sweet trucks [thumbzup]

Hey, sweet ride + I like the paint, would fit into the quarry I work in just perfect I would not put the turbo on yet, get used to your engine and then maybe... I drive mine stock (sometimes daylie) and I like it just how it is. if you need a new dashcover I´d buy a new one...I just painted...

did that... but still took few "spins", but agree...maybe its a way to find worn out batteries in a CUCV ...

had the same problem when one of my optimas (yellow) died last winter, showed 25V overall, 12.5 each..but on use it dropped on 8V.... Somehow it fried my gp controller card aswell, replaced it with one from antennaclimber and throw 2 new batteries in it and never had an issue since. it all...

nice ride, the new bed makes it look more like an unimog than a cucv, in my opinion...looks still better than on a mercedes or other "euro" equipment. grüße aus dem tiefen Süden :P (greets from down south)

no place for such luxury in my garage If i want to lift it i have to take care...

Since I drive my M1009 now almost daylie (way to construction site/quarry is just perfect for my CUCV, no Highway and about 25 miles one way + "fun" roads in the quarry) I noticed a coolant Leak, about 4-5 drops a day (visible on garage floor) so I crawled under it and found out I have a bad...

Fuel in tank? (dont trust the gauge, verify by putting a stick into it etc.) vent working? fuel comes out the drain on the filter (open drainscrew a bit first) dont forget to disconect the pink wire from the injection pump whilst trying to prime the system ? Any Diesel Fuel anywhere around...

do you have a part number or internet link to this special grease gun adapter? never seen one ...

I keep it clean, but its not a pavement queen :P just fixing things here & there, not aiming for a full restoration yet, as long as its still driveable and passes inspections... Its not my daylie but I want my truck to be rdy anytime here is a "offroad" shot, I didnt have to take it down that...
