1985 Chevrolet Blazer D10 M1009 CUCV 4x4 | eBay

Updates to come more frequently now.

Not the case. I bought this M1009 20+ years ago in stock form 12,674 miles on it and I removed all the interior and parts to rebuild it. I put new batteries in it and started and drove it in and out of my barn over the years and it always glowed and started right up. I would increase the RPM's...

The connection is that 2 1/6" cannon plug located below where the stock radio would be located. If that is missing the connection is out under the hood off to the right behind the air filter housing. Good Luck. Easier to just tap the alternator.

Just putting this out there. I have the OEM used parts for that carrier.

Please explain this. No indicators present and the system is charging. This worked on several CUCV's after a slight increase in RPM's for a brief second and normal charge rate at idle. My M1028 had a Gen 2 issue with no indicator Gen 2 light and it would charge normal as soon as I gave the fuel...

(1) M1009 Little Red Riding Hood. | SteelSoldiers A picture does tell the story. Even with no instrument cluster attached the voltmeter shows a correct charge rate. But either way if you want the Gen 1 and Gen 2 light to work you will need to discover the issue.

Without the Gen lights you will not be charging your batteries if the system is stock. This is not true. If you increase the RPM's it will start charging and excite the regulator. I have 2 plow trucks that I put self exciting voltage regulators in the alternators and I have not had an issue...

The volt meter you speak of. Is it in the cluster? And if so may I see a picture of it? And the vacuum control valve has 2 connections. Top to transmission and the bottom to the back of engine vacuum pump. The rubber block on the VCV does not need to be there. If it is cracked and leaking do a...

ACDelco Battery Group Size 31 1111 | O'Reilly Auto Parts (oreillyauto.com) Since the Delco group 31 Freedom battery was stock on the CUCV from the factory I would say go with it. Delco 1111 was the stock battery. Good Luck. The tray studs can be adjusted inward and outward to accommodate and...

the front battery negative cable seems to be going to the firewall Buss bar. I confused. Where would the stock CUCV front battery negative cable be attached? What I see in the picture is a stock 24 Volt CUCV battery cable hook up. It appears the resistors are still being fed 24 volt current...

I completed a full LED lighting conversion to my M1102 trailer. I cheated and done it in 30 minutes. I swapped out the incandescent bulbs for Stanley 12/24 LED bulbs.  It was that easy. I have the regular LED lamps and taillamps but will use them on another future project. I have this...

With the additional information I am going to guess a wheel cylinder or a rusted thru brake line. If it is rusted thru start at the front and replace all of it. It is easier now than waiting for the next blow out.

Excellent advice. And if the brakes have oil on them they are junk. Change them and correct the oil leak. Oil leaking has always been the issue with the rear drum brakes on the M1008-M1031. Do it right and use new axle flange seals also.

I was reminded today that it has been 2 years since I pulled this M1009 in the garage. Now I feel like I have been screwing off. Trust me I have not been. If this were my only project I would have been done in 30 days. I used to produce a refurbished CUCV every 45 days. And being that this one...

This is a collection of nomenclature tags from some of the CUCV's I parted out over the years. This is just a few of them. I have given a few away and used a few on CIUCV's that didn't have doors when I bought them. Just sharing for the fun of it. Have a Great Day. Painting and wood cutting has...

1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked. | Page 27 | SteelSoldiers Check out my post on the wiper switch removal and replacement. My advice is to have the column out of the vehicle and do it on a clean workbench. I explain why it must be out of the vehicle in my post. Good Luck. I hope I can...

I was out bright and early and set up all my parts. I hand sanded these parts over the past 3 weeks and I washed all of them with DX330. All the parts were sealed and painted by 12 noon. I went and had lunch and spent the rest of the day brush painting a barn. I brushed out 4 gallons of paint...

I started out in the barn last night and early this AM. You can expect a progress report to be forthcoming today. Have a Great Day and make the best of the cooler weather.

A piece of 3/4" plywood the size of the transmission pan and a floor jack is the only transmission jack I myself have personally owned. I removed and installed hundreds of transmissions with the same Snap-On 2 1/2 ton floor jack. 2 guys in 20 minutes can have that up in place on a solid floor...
