    M1009 LED Problems

    I found this picture under Google images. CUCV Fuse Box Diagram. The Blue circled is the 30 amp fuse slot that get melted all the time. Mess with that and check out your fuse. I never used any headlamp wiring upgrades. If I had an issue with the melted fuse I cut the wires and replaced the fuse...

    New M1009 Owner - Plans and advice

    Just make sure the lever has resistance immediately when you do compression. If it has any free play at all it is the wrong pump. I have seen the wrong pump in the right box. I even have 2 wrong pumps from the last time I needed one. The vendor sent me the right one and told me to discard the...

    Looks like some nice lines! I had mine repaired pressing on new hose,,, probably should just replace them entirely...I have seen the cooler unhooked from the radiator before and it is usually a leaking or low flow cooler inside...the cooler hooked up now hopefully is a big one that has a...

    1986 M1008 losing power

    The tank should be as near as possible to empty. Check out this thread. I just done a few M1009 fuel tanks in the last year. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucvrus-repair-projects.192437/page-13#lg=post-2372667&slide=1 Good Luck. I didn't see any hijacking. It is all fuel related to me.

    Was looking for a shop in or near Milwaukee to work on M1008; then did it all myself!

    You don't need to remove the batteries. Just slide them from side to side. Come on man. You are a great student and learning so quickly. Easy gets the job done as a hobby. Tired makes it work and hateful. Just run a 1/4 20 thread chaser down thru the inner caged nuts and do it. I know you can...

    1986 M1008 losing power

    Fuel pumps or injection pumps? I do not think there is a defined time line as to when the pumps fail. I had brand new injection pumps fail in less than a year. I have removed some from engines and replaced them just because I didn't know how old they were. The lift pump I replace as a precaution...

    Just an observation on the battery hold downs. If it were mine I would move the threaded rods into the inner support nuts in the tray. that would prevent them from sliding about and the positive terminals making contact with the negative hold downs and metal parts. just an observation and...

    I wanted to give you a little tip on the bracket that seems to have worked for me over the past 25 years. At position/part 2 I place a 3/8" flat washer on the stud that sticks out so that the flanged nut is able to tighten on a smooth surface and not press the bracket into the head of the stud...

    M1009 How To Roll Down the Rear Window??

    I trust you have reassembled the gate and everything is operational again.

    I actually think people have installed an A/C relay and not the heavier starter relay. But true as can be if you maintain a health CUCV with healthy batteries you will never encounter the issue. And if you do. Be knowledgeable upfront that all you must do is unplug the relay. The only CUCV I...

    M1009 How To Roll Down the Rear Window??

    Do you have any ideas for oil? Good old motor oil in a squirt can. Just like the tin man in the Wizard of Oz. You can hear the squeaks and binds fade away. I use Lubriplate on the speedometer cable. I pull the cable out entirely and lube the housing. Work the cable back in and out a few times...

    M1009 How To Roll Down the Rear Window??

    Yes. That piece was designed to allow the handle to work only when the window is in the down position. It can be eliminated. I seen it in place in the first 2 pictures you sent me. What made you take it out? That piece has been discontinued for over 20 years. If you can get it back in plce that...

    M1009 How To Roll Down the Rear Window??

    That foam rubber piece will do nothing. Put a marshmallow in there. That just makes it rattle resistant. And if you can hear that rod rattling you have great ears. I would not worry about that foam piece. You do know that to open the gate you must push in on it from the outside when pulling the...

    No you don't need to pull the wheel for the hi beam switch. Pull the lower column cover and carefully get up under there and remove the fasteners. This is what the switch looks like it is on the left side of the column. It is a bit tedious working up there but it can be done. That metal clip on...

    Generic picture of a Chevrolet truck neutral safety switch. The yellow tab sticks into the shift tub. Unclip your switch from the column and see if that tab is still intact. It may just need clicked a little from one side to the other while the switch is attached to the column. No tools needed...

    Get a GOOD welder to do the repair. I would add a bit of ply to that area. Do you have the rear lower bracket. And with new batteries and a new starter you have everything covered on the starter relay. I can't be that lucky to have sailed thru 25 + years with issues only when I have weak...

    A large flat washer cut and welded on that bracket will fix that bracket. Do you have the lower bracket from the lower part of the power steering pump to the block just above the oil pan? Check that out and report back. Ignore RED 13. I am interested if 10, 2 ,9 ,8, and 7 are in place.

    The reverse switch is easy. it may just be a slight adjustment that will make the lights light in reverse. Try that. Do you still have the tab that extends into the shift tube from the switch. The CUCV back up lamp switch only has 2 wires from stock. The replacement will have 4 and only 2 are...
