Mine stays on for about 3 sec after start up and goes off for the duration of my drive. Normal or bad? It has been about 3,000 miles since an oil change so I am going to do that soon.

I don't know how many of you are interested in doing this, but a friend in my local off road club did this to his doors and I couldn't resist a free modification. It only takes about 2 hours to do if you are slow and makes removing the doors 100 times easier. Motor Mayhem » Blog Archive »...

How would you go about running the wires in the roof as I cant see a way to remove the headliner if there even is one.

Ok so my tranny has always had nice hard shifts since I re-cased it a while back. At first it was slamming into the next gear, but new vac lines fixed that. Then it would always give a nice little bump as it hit the next gear. However now the 2-3 shift is so smooth you cant feel it shift, you...

I may be able to trade/get my hands on a 14 bolt out of a '93 Silverado 3/4 ton. The guy says it is the latest and greatest in the 14 bolts with lots more webbing for structural strength. I still need to measure to make sure, but I believe since it is 3/4 ton it will bolt in. Anybody have an...

Ok well while I had the front end up to slime a tire I noticed there is a small amount of play in the side to side motion of the tire. I have had no other symptoms of a bad wheel bearing and the lug nuts were not loose. Does this sound like the early signs of a wheel bearing on it's way out...

Ok so this morning I went to crank her up and got a very slow turn of the starter, not even enough to engage the bendix to the flywheel just a slow spin. I tried jumping to no avail and the volt gauge in the cab was just barely twitching when the ignition was turned on. However all the...

Ok so when I bought the truck the gen 2 light is always dimly lit when the engine is idling and is still doing that. But now the volt meter is going to middle of green when the truck first starts and as the truck gets hot it slowly sinks down to the yellow/green line and just barley stays on the...

Ok well i was checking the level today as my expansion tank is cracked and noticed that after driving the coolant is rust-brown so I think it is time for some fresh stuff. I don't have a overheating problem so I am debating weather I should remove the hoses and flush it or just drain it using...

I was looking through the lube order as my 1009 probably hasn't seen a grease gun in a while and for almost everything it says use gaa. What is it and what can I get to use instead of that as I am sure an auto parts store wont have it. Thnaks, Miles

Just thought I would let ya know that there is an error in the cucv wiki. For the transfer case the fluid is supposed to be 1/4" under the fill hole not 4" as listed.

I looked in the tm's and found that pins C and D on the STE/ICE connector in my m1009 are from the tach buffer. I thought when I hooked a multimeter to those I would get a reading that I might be able to decode into a guesstimate of the rpm but it reads 0 on dc and ac. Anyone else tried this and...

Anybody done it on an m1009? I know a guy who did it on his civvy k5 with a 6.2, but he had the ac compressor where the gen 1 is on the cucv and replaced that with a york one. Where would be a good place to mount a york on a cucv or where could I get a high electric one that has enough cfm for...

When I take my m1009 up a hill or it shifts into 3rd and I give it more than 3/4 throttle I can hear a clicking sound coming from the transmission, transfercase, engine area. It almost sounds like a hand-crank winch being turned at a normal speed. What is this? It only occurs when the motor is...

Well my starter did the stick on thing while I was driving yesterday and I was able to kill it in about 8 sec. I pulled the inspection cover on the tranny today and all the teeth are fine except for two. They are worn down about 5/8 of the way and are right next to each other. I just finished...

I took my m1009 on a run with the local off road club this weekend and one of the members noticed that my truck was driving a little sideways. After a quick inspection I discovered that the bonehead who owned my truck before me installed one of the lift blocks upside down so the rear axle is...

When I was poking around by the fuse block I noticed a block that looked to have a speaker or buzzer in it tucked up with all the relays up there. Is that supposed to sound and when? Only when there is a prob or when the ignition is switched on? Thanks, Miles

I have a set of 35" bfg mud-terrains on my m1009 that were on it when I bought it. They are in great shape except two of them are flat. They both have holes in the sidewall right where the tread ends. Is this a weak spot on them because my friends buggy with 32" mud terrains has a hole in the...

When I start my m1009 in the mornings and begin to drive it doesn't like to shift and winds out the motor. However after about .5 mi it seems to warm up and be fine. Whats up with that? It wasn't doing this until the IP was changed. Oh and the vacuum lines are new.

What pressure is the m1009 radiator cap supposed to be? Mine is a 13lbs cap and i cant find it mentioned in the -20 tm.
