    M1009 Snow plow 2011

    Just for your info. If the new style Blizzard mounts between the frame rails like the older style plows, there is a minor issue. The CUCV has extra brackets on the frame which makes them about 3/8 narrower than civi trucks. May need to trim the snow plow truck under carrage to fit properly.

    M1009 not starting..

    If you dont have a meter, just pull a glo plug and ground the GP body, turn on the ignition and see if it glows red. Buy a new set of correct CUCV plugs since you probably need them.

    Drum brakes are designed to work in the forward direction more than reverse. The primary shoe contacts the drum and slightly rotates the brake assy to push the secondary shoe into the drum. In reverse it doesnt do that. Basic high school auto shop class stuff. You need to pull the drum off to...

    Cucv front end shaking problems

    The factory doesnt put those stabilizer shocks on there for looks. Its to stop the wobble which a brand NEW truck can have.

    Rear end problem

    The No Spin differentials act kinda funny with no load on them. Put a drive shaft in it and place trans in neutral . Rotating one wheel will cause the other to rotate same direction. Place the trans in park and wheels will lock. Then take a hold of one tire and rock it back and forward and you...

    The case will leak where the two halves mate also. GM didnt use gaskets on the 208.
