I found an M105, some rust in places but all turn signals and brakes work. Also a full set of tarps and bows. The guy is asking 675 for it, about how much is it worth. Also, would towing it behind the m1009 present me with a problem outside fo the 24 volt lights?
Alright, the time has come.
The lift is here and ready to go on the truck, but my dad isn't too sure that it will be safe.
I need some help from you guys now. Please anyone with a lifted cucv or blazer post up about the following things. How does it ride, have you ever almost rolled it? I am...
I have a 4 inch pro comp lift coming in a few days for my m1009. I am wondering what kind of jack I should use. Will the stock cucv jack be able to give me enough clearence to change the springs and such. I'm thinking about getting a Hi-lift and hooking a chain around the jack and then...
I was wondering if I could run any concentration of motor oil and diesel in my CUCV. If I can, would I have to filter the oil first, seeing as it is used. If I do, what would I use to filter it?
Thanks,
Just got done putting the air horns in the M1009. They were just the kit i got from autozone for $35. They were very easy to install, just the switch was a little finicky. They are louder than the stock horns on my friends Jimmy, I don't have a stock horn to compare to in my truck. Will post...
So i was on my way to the pet store to get some crickets for my little brother when i suddely start to hear a hissing noise whenever i let off the gas. The truck is running fine but I decided to pull over and check it out. When I stop all my coolant proceeds to pour onto the pavement and my...
Ok, so its finally warm enougth to drive around with all the windows down, and I would really like to take the roof off my truck. Unfortunately, my dad believes it weighs 1000 lbs, and won't let me take it off unless I can prove to him that it doesn't weigh that much. Also, am I comprimising...
Ok,
So I am about to make $400 from selling a guitar, and one of the things the money will go to is a body lift for the m1009. First of all, do I need a blazer kit, or one for a 3/4 ton pickup? Also, am I going to have to order any other parts for the drivetrain or steering system, or will I...
So I just put a manual glow plug switch into my truck, but when I turn the key the wait light still comes on just like before.
I cut the light blue wire coming from the controller, wired the end that goes into the contoler into the switch, grounded the other side of the switch, and then left...
Well, the newest adventure has started, and I'm going to the manual glow plug switch. I also am going to go ahead and replace my glow plugs. Since it's 35 degrees and it's not starting and I've started it at 15 degrees before, I'm pretty sure that some of the plugs are fried. It's either that...
I was leaving my friends house today in four wheel drive when suddenly a strange and loud grinding came from somewhere underneath my 4wd selecter lever. I really have no idea what is wrong and any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated. One more thing, the street is a one lane, curvy...
Ok, so today I started my truck up for a quick trip to super target. Started fine in the 35 degree weather. But when I tried to start it for the return trip, it wouldn't start. I got a jump and it started right up. The werid thing is that when I got home, I turned it off then tried to start...
Hey guys,
Just wanted to tell of some pictures of a heavily modified M1010 rock crawler someone is selling on ebay. He put up some pictures of his truck crushing some old cutlass. At least I thought it was pretty neat...
Hey just a quick question,
my rear window crank seizes up every turn, do i just need a new crank, or should i replace the entire tailgate. I know someone who is selling one for $50.
Hey,
anyone know if you can use full biodiesel in the M1009? If not, can you use B5 or B20?
Also, does anyone know how to secure some in Northern Illinois, or if you can get a kit to make your own fuel?
Thanks,
Greg
'84 M1009
Hey guys,
Just bought an '84 M1009 as a first car, and I have to say that I couldn't be happier. Just a few questions though. First, I would really enjoy a stereo, and I was wondering if anyone could reccomend one with a good fit. Second, I have no horn. Not a big problem for me, but my dad...
