1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked. | Page 35 | SteelSoldiers
I looked back at my previous notes, and I noted that I moved the injection pump timing line 2-line thicknesses to the driver's side of the line-to-line timing of the injection pump. I see yours is to the passenger's side. I...
If it is an original 1984 m1009 with the original engine it will not have the plastic push pins in the rocker shafts. The 1984 had the no plastic rocker shaft and rocker arms. If it says all original injection pump and all I am still thinking injection pump. But that is a guess from afar and...
If the going gets tough and you need a hand I am at the end of 78 were it splits I 81 exit 90. I get a few vehicles from NJ to work on from time to time. Take Care.
I agree that is missy very bad and running poorly. It is a poor video and hard to diagnose from it. Hey I'm not there. If I bought a CUCV and it ran poorly and I wanted a reliable vehicle I always went for the fuel system and did a complete overhaul on all the parts. That is after I ruled out...
The internal parts of the injection pump have failed. The only cure is the rebuilding of the injection pump. opinions vary and I will give you mine. I have changed over 100 injection pumps on CUCV's over the years. I had a local rebuilder and they went under after 50 years. The internet has...
I attempted to work in the shop Monday and Tuesday after sweating at work for 10 hours. It never happened in the shop. I retired to the A/C and cleaning up a downed tree on the property. I can never escape the tree issues. Unless I cut them all down. I have enough firewood split and stacked for...
I agree on the ground wire. Add another ground cable and try that. The ground from the right rear engine top to negative buss bar. Check all the grounds. Good Luck. And I know you did this. But starters do go bad and it helps to check how much amperage the starter is pulling when engaged...
This may be a simple as the windshield is not wet and the wipers are squeegeed fast to the smooth wiper plane area of the windshield. Add some water to the glass with a hose and try that. Have someone spray the hose on the glass and you sit inside and run the wipers. Laugh. But give it a try...
Before you say all is over I want to share my experience. I had this old lifted M1009 dropped off for many repairs and I wanted to share the radiator experience. I had quoted a new radiator and ended up with a fraction of the cost and a repaired OEM radiator. Check it out. Good Luck. I think you...
It never ends. If you own and drive a CUCV you had better be ready to work on it. People are driving these CUCV's like they are 5 year old vehicles. They are approaching 40 years old. I was in high school in the late 70's. I don't recall seeing any late 30's, 40's and maybe 1 late 50's model...
The rear 4 body bolts are nothing fancy. They are just 1/2" carriage bolts. Do you still have your fuel tank out? Check out my thread on the decade wrecked M1009. I've seen fire and I've seen pain, I seen rusty bushings I thought would never bend. The beating of bolts I thought would never end...
How does that work? I thought the whole idea was that the coolant in the radiator provided cooling for all the fluids (oil, atf) Just adding more hoses and more connections and the add on oil cooler is just adding for problem areas to deal with. Seems to me it worked all these years and parts...
Well, the end of the day has come quickly. I sweated out a few gallons of water. I didn't get everything sanded but I did manage to get a lot done. The cowl screen with the tan 686 CARC was a showstopper. I did get over 1/2 of the things sanded and cleaned. I left the big stuff for another day...
I am back in after spending time getting all the parts gathered together. I have a shortage of a few parts. Nothing to affect this current build but a few that I am low on. The upper grille trim that attaches to the radiator support is a hard item to find clean undamaged. I have a few with minor...
Today I am going out to gather up all the attaching parts that get painted 383 green only and can be painted before final assembly. That is one of the most time-consuming times as I must hand sand and examine each part carefully, so I am sure to get proper adhesion and appearance of the finished...
Surplus 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe K1500 4x4 SUV in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, United States (GovPlanet Item #7161409)
As I predicted. This was the better buy.
