    M1009 popping the main light fuse

    I had to sit there and think for a minute what you mean. The high/low beam switch under the dash on the steering column. Never thought of that being bad, but that could be it.

    M1009 popping the main light fuse

    This is a good step, also when this is removed put a fuse back in and see if it blows. If it does you know the issue is on the inside of the cab, if it does not it is in the loom from the firewall to the headlights. If the black out switch is bad you can test it, but kind of complex for me to...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I saw the picture before I read your comments and said to myself, wonder if he got that idea from may antenna mounting idea. I see you did and thanks for the tag, it has held up well. Taken my Suburban through many tree branches and held up well. The M1009 is looking good, saw your post with...

    Snorkel Yet Another

    :lol::driver: Funny!! My intentions of installing a snorkel on my 1984 Suburban CUCV clone was not to drive through deep water, but to look really cool and keep water away from the intake when splashing mud puddles. It is very bad to hit water at a high rate of speed as it can fly into the...

    LSSV: 2005 Chevy Crew Cab, Fl to VA and back.

    That is an expensive drive shaft. One of these days I will have a CUCV II, or build a clone.

    My 1984 Chevrolet Suburban K20 4x4 3/4 ton CUCV clone #2 - AKA: M1007 or M1029

It is about 90% completed where the only part left is to paint the inside red to black and after that all done. Truck has held up well going off roading many times this year and during that time...

    Conflicting information on using M1009 to pull M101A2 trailer

    The problem is the bumper pintle hitch as it is weak and can rip off if the trailer is too heavy. There is not allot of strength to the system and they are prone to failure. It really is a poor design and could have been better. This if from a M1009 that had the pintle ripped off due to a heavy...

    M1009 gets rear window repair, body work and new paint.

    Looks good with the new paint, camo was a great choice. Do not recall about the issue with the rear window, if I would have known about it I likely would have tried to fix it. Glad you got it corrected and cleaned up the common rust area on the lower tail gate. I think I recall telling you...

    If you are asking, than they are not doing what they are intended to do. Stay on top of the sub forum so people do not ask repetitive questions.

    M1008 axles have water in them.

    This is what is known as resurfacing the brake shoes/pads. I actually had this conversation with my mechanic Saturday about those "just" brake shops that say they will do it for $99 and in the end it is like $500. He explained to me that it takes off the shinny surface of the brake material to...

    Long Distance Retrieval: The Hard Way

    I love that show and have seen every episode and watch every new one. They are true car guys as they buy junk and make it run and drive it home. They break down and fix it and keep going. I think the only car that had to be towed was the Rotsun. Anyway. I have a medium tow bar and almost made...

    M1031 Governor control discussion

    The second fuse is coming off the fuse panel under the dash supplying the 12v to the system. I thin on the diagram on the door it is not marked as fused, but I believe it is lead 25 and E2 to ignition switch. Power is activated from the fuse panel when the key is on and mine was fused with the...
