    A general ? about fuel leak

    I think it would take longer to bypass the filter then it would to change the o ring. How would you bleed the system if you bypass the filter?

    Holy CRAP... axle U bolts

    I went to the link for Off Road Design that Sharecropper posted. The website says that this kit will not work on a 1 ton truck unless you have a lift kit on the truck. They claim that this set up will interfere with the frame. I looked at my M1028 and it didn't look like it would be an issue...

    Rear bumper for M1008?

    Its a safe bet to say that you guys from Florida & California will have better access to rust free parts (and probably cheaper) then those of us from the rust belt. My M1028 that I drive daily (weather permitting) came from North Carolina and is rust free. I have 3 parts trucks (1 M1028 & 2...

    Rear bumper for M1008?

    I just bought a spare bumper for my M1028. I didn't need it, but I spotted 1 in excellent cond on Craigslist complete with the pintle hitch, D rings, black out lights, and all the brackets. I paid $150 for it. Hopefully I never have to use it.

    How many of you use your cucv's everyday ?

    I try to drive mine daily 8 months of the year. Its not used as my primary commuter vehicle, mostly just around town, like to the gym and running errands. Once a week I'll take it to work, a 12 mile highway run just to streach its legs. In the winter its stored inside so the salt doesn't eat...

    CUCV - Car hauler?

    GroundedCLK, I just noticed your from NH. I'm in Mass 20 minutes south of Boston. When you get your hitch & brake controller installed feel free to come try out my trailer. We can put a car on it and see how the 09 handles it. As Skinny pointed out, longer trailers allow you to move the load...

    CUCV - Car hauler?

    I have a Big Tex 18' car trailer (model DM 70). I bought it new 10 years ago and I'm very pleased with it. Towing a car trailer with a 09 always starts a big debate.

    I just sent you a text message. When we talked earlier you said it was your front driveshaft seal that was leaking? I called auto zone in Braintree, they have the Timken seal in stock for $12. They open up at 07:30 tomorrow morning. I can pick it up and meet you along the way.
