    Post your cucv pics here

    Lights, you want to see some lights on a CUCV! I pretty much will never out run my light output and on the darkest night I can see for a long distance. Front 6 Rigid Dually LEDs: Spot, flood and amber flood. (One is missing as it is off due to warranty repair). 4 100watt halogen ProComp...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    You should be using 5/32, or at least that is what I read to use.

    Diy Winch Install

    Nice design, keep us updated. Hopefully you used the coupon for $299 and a 20% off for the mount plate to maximize your savings. The BL 12K winch is great and I have two of them on my two CUCV trucks. I have used it to pull a M1009 in a mud pit and a Dodge RAM out of a ditch. If you look at it...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Fuel filter, it was about a year old as I always mark them with a date when I replace them. All is good now after a 10 mile test drive.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    On my 84 M1009 I turned down the fuel as it is a 6.5L mechanical pump that came out of the 1 GEN 6.5L turbo and I never put the 6.2L Banks turbo on mine. So I was getting too much fuel and I needed to correct that as I know the guy had turned it up. Doing this also checked to see if the IP is...

    Why is my headlight fuse melting?

    Yeah, I buy allot of tools at HF, but I will never use their fuses. To the OP, did you search? This has been covered multiple times and the solution is the headlight relay harness from LMC truck.

    Please Help to ID a vehicle

    I found this on the net, so this may help to find out more using the NSN #4940012758079. I have not found anything on if this had a M10xx number. It has to be a CUCV chassis I am sure of that, but what one; M1028, M1008 or M1031? Part Number: AN/ASM-683 NSN: 4940012758079 Description...

    M1009 runs then stalls out

    I would agree it may be the IP, you can check it to see if it is bad with a simple method where you do not need to remove it and have it checked. You will only need to remove the cover on the top of the IP and look for plastic fragments, if there are any your IP is bad. You may have to remove...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Spent Sunday tracing all the wires on my M1031 from the panel in the contact box to the engine and cabin. All wires toned OK with my meter so they are not cut anyplace. I am still not able to get my generator to output power, so it has to be the electronics now. I may break down and go with the...

    Please Help to ID a vehicle

    I do not know where the thread is, but a similar truck was posted on here maybe last year. I thought it was in Canada that it was for sale, but not 100% sure. The trucks are close, but not the same looking at the box. It must be some type of command vehicle with a custom box, but not something...

    Confused about CUCV and CUCV II

    It is 1988 model year, not 1987.

    Confused about CUCV and CUCV II

    As I am trying to correct your error in model years, I answered your question and informed you that the CUCV model years were 1984 to 1987. I have personally owned 3 1987 CUCV pickups and there is nothing different from a 1987 to a 1984 CUCV M10x8 pickup or Blazers. They all have the same 6.2L...

    Confused about CUCV and CUCV II

    It is also 1987 CUCV, not 1986.5. There is no such thing as a 1986.5, it is either model year 1986 or 1987 CUCV, there is no 1/2 year. The CUCV model years are 1984 to 1987 and the years of manufacture were Aug 1983 to as late as 1987, but I have only seen 1987 model years that were manufactured...

    30 amp headlight fuse

    For those that plan to install the LMC harness. Yes you can connect the harness to the passenger side as that is where the batteries are. You will also need to extend the ground wire on the driver side so it reaches the factory ground point at the top. The instructions say not to extend the...

    6.2 IP rebuild and with a few pictures

    Correct, there is a warranty with taking it to where it is being rebuilt. If there is a problem within a year they will take care of it and it is local, so no shipping and worry it will be lost or damaged in transit. The last one I had rebuilt was $475 from Metro Fuel, but right now we do not...

    6.2 IP rebuild and with a few pictures

    The pump was either no good or it was and sat too long and dried out to which made it no good. When the original IP is rebuild form the M1009 I will install it and the truck will probably start right up, if it does not well there is something else really wrong. It is not difficult to change...
