    M1028 left right brake balance

    Bell shaped drums was my next guess but I thought you would have guessed that. That is often a common issue and is greatly overlooked. On the newer vehicles the rotors have areas that are solid rust and the brake lining does not make contact in the rusty areas. Maintenance. I don't know anywhere...

    It may be a mis-guided guess. But I wanted to put that out there.

    Power steering pump bracket

    You owe nothing. As you travel thru life you may come across an old State license plate or something odd. Send it my way. If NOT. No worries.

    So you did receive the stud bolt? I hope it all works out for you. Keep me posted if you have any other needs.

    M1028 left right brake balance

    Yes. The shorter shoes goes toward the front of the truck. You have a correct set pictured. Metric measurements work for me also. Check it out and make sure you have it correct. I am just putting that out there as an option or cause of the issue you are experiencing. We do a safety inspection...

    Belts and Doodads

    Rarely you will find a civilian model truck, blazer, suburban model that had 4 idiot lights. They were rare. But I remember many fleet vehicles having that option because it came standard and cost less. Pickings on these 35+ year old trucks are far and few between at this point in time. If you...

    M1028 left right brake balance

    Is it just me or do you have both front brake shoes on the right side? I see the front brake shoes are mounted on the right axle. The short shoes with the lesser brake lining always goes toward the front of the truck. Check it out. I may be seeing things but it appears the shoes lining are the...

    IP pump fuel feed line question.

    Unclear on your question. What you are showing is an after market fuel filter. All I see is that the stock Stanadyne box fuel filter assembly has been replaced with something different then original. Should be the same as long as it is plumbed correctly and has the internal heater and water...

    CUCV Master Keyed?

    1 key system. The same key for the doors and gate on the M1009.

    CUCV Master Keyed?

    The key code for the U.S. CUCV is 73Y2 If you go to a lock smith they will use the B blank GM key to cut you a fresh key from the code. The key code for the U.S. CUCV is 73Y2 I hope that helps. Round head is as original but the rectangular head works the same. Most fleet, taxi, police of the...

    Power steering pump bracket

    No need to get fancy and spend the big money. These pumps were the same for many years. Endurance Power Steering Pump 7068 (autozone.com) This will get you the basic rebuilt pump and it will work great for many years. At least that has been my experience. Warranted for ever. Duralast New...

    Washer pump, wiper motor hijinks

    Try the motor before the switch. That wiper switch is doable and it can be done. But the entire column must come out. I out lined that switch replacement in my Decade Wrecked thread a few years back. On the bench and out of the truck or you will go crazy.

    FNG, first CUCV. What to do first...

    I have a set of 3:73 gears here out of a 1990 K5 Blazer. You will need 30 spline axles for the rear. I have the complete front axle and the complete rear apart minus the 30 spline axles. Sweet deal on them. It has an Eaton locker.

    CUCV Air Compressor engine mounting brackets

    May I suggest just looking in a salvage yard for a civilian 6.2 diesel vehicle that had A/C. Below I pictured an M1010 engine from a quick image search. As I recall and that is a long time ago. The civilian trucks had the same brackets. This was a quick Google search to refresh my memory but...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    Tonight was a short night. I came home and put away all the tools and cleaned up a few messes in the shop. I had several projects I completed in the past week. I also had many CUCV parts setting around that needed to be put away in storage. I had a CUCV oil pan and an intake that I have been...

    Where is my injection pump leaking from?

    Give this a try. Good Luck. Go Fund Me.

    Where is my injection pump leaking from?

    May I also add to drop the tank and replace the fuel tank sock and sending unit it is not working accurately. Then moving forward on the fuel system replace all the hoses and clamps and replace the lift pump. Get the right size clamps. I see clamps that are for 5/8" heater hose compressed to...
