    6.2 Oil Pan Gasket.

    In the memory of King in the 1986 movie Platoon CUCVRUS is writing a letter to his girlfriend MarcusOReallyus : It ain't D-E-R-E, it's D-E-A-R. And "Sarah" ain't got no two R's, CUCVRUS. Damn, you dumb! CUCVRUS: It don't make no difference. She know what I mean. She don't read too good nohow.

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    I think I should fill my suitcases with CUCV parts and the clothing and any other needs for my visit could be exchanged in trade at the airport. I am going to shipping another CUCV M1009 over to Germany again. How much cargo is allowed inside?

    6.2 Oil Pan Gasket.

    On these old CUCV's I use a Felpro gasket and Permatex the Right Stuff. I put a big bead at both front bends and both rear upper main cap corners of the pan. I put it up in place while the Right Stuff is wet and quickly get all the bolts in place. I use a short 1/4" ratchet and snug them all up...

    Keep in mind the glow plug tip is not magnetic. (non magnetic) Use care when extracting the glow plug tip from the pre chamber when you break off the swelled to if the need arises. I have done it and it requires a steady hand and I removed the wheel and tire, entire wheel well apron and the...

    PHOENIX-GER Save the cash for now. If you have a lodged glow plugf and it is in the back of the head I would just remove the inner fender apron and get in there. I would remove the fuel delivery nozzle and get in there with a 45* mini vise grip. Or something similar and capture the tip and...

    I am assuming it was shipped USPS. tracking # 9400111202537595338990 I assume how it was shipped because I wasn't there at the ship point. I dropped it off and they sent me a text. It is USPS I checked.

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    I must live in God's country because everywhere I go locally and buy parts I have developed a great relationship with the sales people. I can walk in and ask for a size belt that is a 1/2" shorter ten the one I carry in. They give me one and I walk out and come back in and say how about another...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    The belt thing is easy. I met you so I know you can handle this without any tears. Take the truck to the parts store. Drive it with the screaming, whining belts that you have. Take all the tools you need to change the belts and a socket to fit the center nut on the alternators. walk in a out of...

    Yea I don't have any of the antenna brackets. Shame is back 25 years ago I removed everyone and tossed it them in the scrap metal container. That was all the cargo cover bows, dash mounted raio rackes and the rear seat radio racks. Into the scrap steel they went. The people thatw ere buying...

    Next I removed the rear access panel. Yes this truck has Line X sprayed in the entire interior up to the bed rails. Removing the rear window felts/rubbers is the worst part of this job. I have both removed with a moulding tool. Next I must remove the 4 bolts from the sash and roller guide...

    I was looking at the M1009 that a customer brought me for a lot of work. I rebuilt this M1009 about 7-8 years ago. I noticed the gate was not closing properly. It was out of adjustment and there is very little adjustment to get these gates in further and tighter. I removed the strikers and cut...

    Transmission Problems

    No That is laughing at someone that thinks 30 year old used transmissions are worth installing. I have several used CUCV transmissions and would not even consider selling them as useable even when I knew they came from low mileage CUCV's 20+ years ago. Just not worth the effort. I have been in...
