Just in for lunch. I am going to go out and get the left inner apron cleaned up and ready to install. I was going to do the right, but I will be removing the heater box assembly. This will make things easy. pictures later. My goal is to get the heater box out and get the speed clip nuts into the...

I could Have covered you on the upper steel mushroom mounts. How are you making out with the rear mounts?

The body is centered and tight on the frame. Everything aligned fairly easy with ratchet straps front and rear. The Energy Suspension body mounts do not collapse and tighten as easy as the old school rubbers. I think they will need to be tightened and checked on occasion after being put into...

I believe that is a HMMWV coolant crossover manifold. I have brand new ones in the plastic. Do you like that? It does the same thing as the CUCV. It is far from the position to put a temperature gauge sending unit. Head temperature is the place you want to tap for an accurate reading of engine...

I have my Flea market friend here and he is going to give me a hand getting the body centered and tightened down on the M1009 project. I did not trust attaching the inner wheel well aprons with the body loose. They do have a bond between the core support and the main body, and I need to keep the...

OK. I slept on it and after considerable thought and availability of resourses/parts that will look and fit properly I have opted to totally remove the firewall insulation and leave it out. Really this is no set back. I had several CUCV's that I removed it totally from and drove them year-round...

It holds the aluminum oil cooler lines to the fan shroud as it passes from the left side of the engine to the right side of the radiator. I made a few in the past. They are a part many just toss away same as the rear oil cooler line brackets. Many missing. The one I found and am showing is...

sezzo refresh I have a PM sent to you.

I have a conundrum here. I looked closely at the firewall insulation, and it is crisp and missing at places. I have reached a critical point in the build where I must decide if I change it or not. The right side is knarly and very crisp to touch. 38 years this month since it was installed. The...

I was in the process of getting the body square on the frame and I need a helper. I cannot crank the strap and measure at the same time. I pulled the right inner fender apron out of storage and washed it off. Looks like new. It the OEM inner fender from this M1009. I had it powder coated black...

As dumb as it may sound, I was destined to save this hard-to-find part. I wire brushed it all over and tapped the 1/4 X 20 captured nut out. I oiled the threads and washed the part. I attached a bolt to it and clamped it in place for a few coats of paint. To me it was worth saving. I feel...

Today after work I went out for lunch right outside Indiantown Gap on the main road leading into the gap. The street name is Fisher Avenue. They are in the process of closing Indiantown Gap to public access. I rode the motorcycle over to the area that the main gate is being constructed and...

That shaft on the passengers side is attached by a rod and it can get stuck in the on/compressed position. I don't know all the technical terminology of these parts but I seen this M1009 truck in person and everything under the hood was dry and sticking. I know the eccentric on the throttle...

Did you try to lube the shaft on the passengers side of the injection pump. Does that move freely? That pump was replaced during the time I rebuilt the truck. I am thinking 2011 or 2012. I don't remember. I was doing so many back then. When did you buy it from me? Figure a year or 2 before that...

If your yoke is still chewed up and you want the one I showed you we can " Let's Make a Deal"

I am lost. You said you removed the bleeders from the calipers and they are still stuck. Brake hoses, master cylinder, what ever. If you open the bleeders the caliper is the issue because with the bleeders open all hydraulic pressure is gone. Something is not right here. Time for some pictures...

Lost here from afar. Are the slide pins and slide pin seal clean and free of rust? Not sure if they don't release with the hydraulic pressure released.

Back when I bought new CUCV sheet metal from the GM dealer I was able to get a rebate for repairing any of the new dented replacement panels. Sometimes they were that bad that they would get credit and eventually just give me the new panel after they were credited. That was when new GM doors...
