Now that is the longest bed I ever seen. That would haul a lot of firewood. If it were 4WD it would not be the best snowplow truck. I remember in 1979 they had 10 ft beds on Chevrolet trucks. It was not very popular.

It's a hacker thing to do. Someone said they did it and it was a cure all and then more people did it and they thought they reinvented the wheel, and the hacking continues to this day. Each and every day there is a CUCV somewhere being hacked and modified. Many will never be the same again. Not...

Did you try to cross the wires on the relay? Personally, I see no advantage to doing the relay change. Good Luck. Hot wire the relay and see what happens. It is hard to help when the system has been hacked.

Sounds like a grounding issue somewhere.

Terminus M1009 | Page 20 | SteelSoldiers Back in the day my M1009 engine would get a bit dusty, and I would just use the old pressure washer. I checked and kept the oil full and it never gave me any issues. One thing that was great about the dust was it made oil leaks easy to locate. A dry...

Check the resistor under the hood on the metal heater box housing. See if you have electric to that wire. Also, under the dash 1 wire I believe orange runs off the switch harness and supplies current to the switch. Make sure that is hot. How did you rule out the switch on the fan motor. It can...

I would like to see a side-by-side comparison of these mounts. Back when I was pioneering replacement parts for CUCV's I used the parts as examples and did side by side comparisons and fit to come up with a part and part number that fit. I also tested it hard over the years. Here is what I found...

Why wouldn't they? The wet coolant makes contact with the sensor, completes the circuit and the light goes out. What am I missing here? Stop the fear of everything that is aftermarket is taboo. At this point in the game if aftermarket parts were not available most of the CUCV's would be here.

Replace the lift pump while you are replacing the injection pump. They can get cruddy inside.

Part# 31152G Amazon.com: Energy Suspension 31152G Motor Mount : Automotive Part# 3.1116G Amazon.com: Energy Suspension 3.1116G Clam Shell Type Engine Mount for GM : Automotive Tell me the difference. Just so I know. The CUCV uses 1983 K5-30 350 gas engine motor mounts has been my experience.

I must be using the incorrect ones.

Looks good. Fire it up. One thing I always do is put a flat washer on the inner adjustment slot right behind the P/S bracket. That way when you tighten the adjustment nut it makes square 360-degree contact on a flat surface, and you are not pressing a hex nut pattern into the back side slide...

I would remove the wire at the radiator low coolant sensor and crimp the connection lightly. It may be a bit loose and making intermittent contact with the switch. that is after you visually check and make sure the coolant is full. Good Luck. #16. This sensor is readily available.

I make straps all the time. 2 strips of galvanneal steel 12 gauge and a welder you can fabricate a set easily. Good Luck.

25 years ago I needed a new diesel fuel gauge for a CUCV and this was all I could buy. I tried several times to get the OEM style and could not. I was at a GM dealer that I dealt with for many years and that is all they could get me. That gauge is in the Easter Find M1008 that I rebuilt about 8...

You will need other straps. Is it worth the 4-gallon difference?

1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked. | Page 12 | SteelSoldiers Click on the link I posted above. It worked for me when I looked back.
