Grega After I did my first seat I did notice that you could bruise the paint job after it was dry to the touch. I am talking a few hours of drying in 80 degree weather. After 24 hours of drying it was better. So before I started the second seat. I call SEM tech support concerning...

Wallew, Thank you for your input. I choose the maroon color because my interior on my M1009 was maroon already. I am trying to keep color the same. My current seats have a black vinyl cover. stationjj

I just got the Driver side completely refurbished today. I am waiting for vinyl colorcoat to dry. I should have more information soon on how everything fits. stationjj

Cycle Jay, You are right. From my research there was some concern about the seats from a civy Blazer fitting a Military Blazer. Yes the mounts are different. I pulled seats from an 83 civy Blazer. The civy passenger side blazer seat has a seat that will lift up and tilt forward. This...

My new passenger seat On Monday I posted a thread on new seats for my CUCV. Link; http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/93295-new-seats-cucv.html I pulled the seats from a local junkyard out of a 83 Blazer. I consider myself lucky to find an 83 blazer in a junkyard. The blazer smelled bad, the...

Twlinks, Roger that on the Clorox spray. Anyway, I got the seat all cleaned up. I am pleased how well this worked out. The spring action in the new seat is so much better than what I have. I also now have a seat and mount that will lift up and tilt forward. Accessing the back will be...

Thanks for the heads up. I will wash seat down with bleach, and wash my cloths ASAP.

Yes stranger75 I went to Pull a Part of Briley. I sent you a PM. I bought a passenger seat out of a 83 civy Blazer. It does fit, with the same civy mounts. No modifications on my part. The bolt holes lines up. I was a bit concerned on fit after some research it did. Anyway I paid $30 out...

I may take a chance here. They want less than $25 for the seat. I will take my mount with me and do some measuring. Still debating. Thanks stationjj

I am a new CUCV owner. I bought a 84 M1009 in May. As a new owner I try to read articles on CUCVs. I sometimes learn something new or hear something I question. Well I read something the other day that I wasn't sure about. It wasn't on this site or other K5 Blazer sites. I read where the...

I bought my M1009 in May. The seats have been on my list of things todo. My seats the springs are about shot. I got tears and rusted metal parts. Also my passenger side seat doesn't lift up and tilt forward. I don't think it the original seat. It seems like driver side seat was used...

I have been looking at a headliner to add to my M1009 Blazer. After research several people have added it to there M1008 or M1009. I know LMC sells one for $299, plus shipping and $20 for extra large size. Well I discovered one on JCW for $246, plus $12 extra for size and Free shipping. The...

A costly lesson learned. Last week I started a project to add quick dis-connects to my Radio, and cleanup some wiring additions. I had dis-connected a wire from fuse panel. It forgot it was a wire that always hot. I need to label my wires. The hot wire touched something. I heard that pop I...

Hello, I live in Nashville myself, and a new CUCV owner. I had the same issue, and I do agree with you. I finally gave in and did emissions test, and they had no clue what to do. They asked me where the catalytic converter was. I plan to tackle this issue later, but I didn't know how long...

Hey I recently used Durabak on the interior of my M1009. It turned out very well. It is a very hard tough surface. It doesn't damage easily. Yes,it will feel rough and grainy, because it has rubber granulates. This is suppose to reduce noise, and create a non skid surface. The grainy feel...

Well it looks like I have some electrical problems. Today gen 2 (passenger side) wasn't running. While trying to check it started up. The back battery will hold a good 12.5+ volt charge. When I put a load on it. I get between 8-9 volts. Now compared to the front battery it's low during load...

Thanks for your advice. Since I am new diesel engines and GPs. I am getting help from a mechanic. I know that concerning the GP system I need to defer it to a mechanic. The electrical is checking out so far. One battery was a little low compared to the other. We think this may had been...

Thanks everyone. I plan to install a GP switch bypass. This is my first diesel and yes I may be expecting to much. stationjj
