TGTBT..Hows this, 2 years ago while inquiring about a new set of injectors I was informed of a classified ad for new OEM injectors (complete body) for sale by member Road warrior 88. With shipping $135.
Why not install an original direct drive 27MT. Very well engineered, rugged, durable and dependable. In 10 years and thousands of starts I have never experienced a no-start condition.
A while ago I bought a brand new OEM wiper/washer assy from CUCV parts supplier on E-Bay. It was $117. Mine was starting to squeak and the pump no longer worked.
I disagree with this assertation. I've had my M1009 for 10 years, rebuilt the direct drive 27MT twice now. Never had a problem with bolts, mounting or any aspect of its operation. It was engineered for this application, I like how its built so heavy duty.
This from another member ;The CUCV 27MT...
If it is leaking. Verify that it is indeed coming from the weep hole at the bottom of the pump shaft, and not one of the lower pump bolts. They go through to the water jacket and require sealant.
I personally don't think a 12V conversion is a good idea. I like to have 24V to spin the starter. The 6.2 has 21.5 compression ratio. When it gets really cold in the winter, the batteries are noticeably affected. Likely I wouldn't get the motor to fire on only 12V. The starter must spin 200 rpm...
I also use never-seize. In 2004 when I got the M1009, it had AC11's in it. After some research, bought AC60's, went to change them out, one was swollen and would not come out. What happens is that you can completely unscrew the threaded portion of the plug from the head, once fully unscrewed it...
Sounds unnecessarily excessive. I get 4-6 years out of my AC60's, daily driven. Change them individually when one goes bad. Easy to tell; when engine sounds rough at start-up, look for the side where exhaust is smoking. Test plugs on that side. Replace defective plug.
My main battery cable was in pretty poor shape, badly corroded clamp bolt threads and had some previous arcing/melting issues. Its the one that goes from front battery positive to rear battery negative, then runs along back of firewall and ends in a blue fusible link at the 12 V junction block...
The bolt broke with 33 ft/lbs? Even a low grade bolt should handle that, perhaps it was the wrong pitch or there was something wring with the threads in the block. I also just use a small ratchet and tighten it by hand.
My 1009 runs 33's, speed is off 4 km/h, that's 2.5 mph. Going by all the photo radar readout panels around town. I lube my speedo cable twice a year to prevent the dreaded needle bounce syndrome. I've never taken all that off. Lie underneath dash and reach up, grab speedo cable, run hand to end...
