    Navy m1009 ?

    I know the 1999 CUCVII was a repaint of a black Tahoe. Maybe not all of them. I seen several at the dealership and they were repainted before delivery. Strange as it may be. My Friend had a brand new 1995 Camaro convertible and it left the factory as a hardtop and was converted by another...

    Navy m1009 ?

    I do have pictures somewhere of CUCV's being built on Flint assembly line at the same time as standard trucks, Suburban's. Blazers. No special line. They were painted 3 color camouflage right at GM. I seen them being unloaded at the dealership I worked at and went to GM school in Moorestown NJ...

    Navy m1009 ?

    Dobbins AF base was not too far from my house when I was growing up and in high school in the 80's. I specifically remember driving past the AF base and seeing some of the service vehicles painted a dark flat blue I don't doubt that but they were not CUCV's from the factory. Like posted the RPO...

    Electrical problem solved

    I would get new battery cables made. And not that bolt on type. Get the type similar to what were on from factory. The less connections you have the better. Avoid crimped/pinched/hammered/ connections...

    Navy m1009 ?

    Not from the factory it wasn't. All CUCV's were built at the Flint Michigan plant on the same assembly line that was producing the GM light truck civilian models at the same time. If it does not have the 3 color camouflage paint from the factory it was not and is not a true CUCV. I had White...

    Navy m1009 ?

    Then you have cucv with out 24v system, which easier to source parts for. Quick question. What parts are so hard to source on a CUCV that are easier to source on a standard K5-K30 GM of the same time period? And there is only one CUCV. A knock - off make believe CUCV is an Imposter. Like putting...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    Tonight I had to do maintenance on the air compressor. I neglected the air filters and they were clogged solid. I drained the oil and serviced everything. Should be able to get back at my projects on Friday. Tonight I rolled my CUCV art project off the horses and onto the ground. I was adjusting...

    Navy m1009 ?

    How about a picture. The Navy CUCV's were the same 3 color camouflage as the entire CUCV line. Unless they were just a K 5 Blazer. Then they are not a CUCV M1009. I have Navy Seabee CUCV trucks and they were built for the Navy and had that noted on the sticker build sheet in the glovebox. I had...

    What Is This Dashboard Sound??

    Does the adapter spin when spun? Does the cable fit securely into the adapter? Can you spin the adapter when it is attached to the speedometer cable? Does the speedometer react? Place the gear housing onto the adapter. Does the gear spin freely with minimum resistance? Does the cable and...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    On the way home I seen some wood along the road with a sign that had my price on it. FREE. Nice clear 1 X 10 clear pine boards. Free. I see a happy Wife. We like building bird houses out of clear pine boards. Especially painted wood in an Avocado color. She spent the evening pulling the nails...

    My (new) M1008...

    If it were me I would remove the glow plugs and get the fuel system all primed and ready to run. easier on the batteries and starter and you can manually and visually check the glow plugs with a jumper wire. make sure the tips only get red hot. I have had them heat mid shaft and that is not a...

    M4 /M16 / AR15 / if the rifle fits wear it rack. All CUCV's have the rifle racks from GM factory except M1010. They are non combatant vehicles. But I like your truck it looks great. The upper bracket can really make your upper shoulder blade feel great if it is loose and hanging inward and you...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I had a text asking me if I was changing the rear main seal. NO. I was disconnecting all 8 pushrods and the main bearings so I could spin the crank shaft enough to get all 6 of the converter bolts out. In the past if I had an engine locked up I would remove the oil pan and find the busted rod or...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    1 year ago I was removing an engine from this M1008 dually CUCV. The owner had the rear main seal changed and was talked into changing the oil pump. The new oil pump did not have a long enough pickup tube and resulted in the engine seizing once the truck was 1-1/2 quarts low on oil. I seen the...

    M1009 How To Roll Down the Rear Window??

    Do you recommend anything to clean/remove the resin on the tailgate form the old seals? I am not sure what resin it is that you speak of. Also the bent sash should be repaired or replaced for installing new side window guides. That sash is fitted the same thickness as the glass and must glide...

    Power steering pump bracket

    This set works well. I have used mine a few times and it was a gift from my Wife. She heard me say I wanted to get a punch set. I received this and a nail set of 3 different sizes. Not what I wanted but I said Thank you anyway. Good Luck.
