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

    Answer. Yes you need a total of 4 and they are all the same gaskets with the part number I listed and you showed me. Answer. Yes the cross pin dowel is on the throttle shaft. You need a 3/8" socket or wrench to remove that VCV. Retain that valve and you can see the marks where it was adjusted...

    M1009 LED Problems

    Common issue. You can split the fuse block and add an inline fuse. the melt is from an over loaded circuit and the heat was caused by the poor connection due to the overload. You will need 2 inline fuse holders to replace that leg of power on the fuse box. I also used a circuit breaker for the...

    CUCV 1986 M1008 - In a Real Pickle - Bad Heads - Need Advice

    How about just an entire long block assembly? But if it were me I would find a set of used heads. Just get them checked for acceptable cracks. Some cracks are normal. Most all have minor cracks in the pre chambers. That area is replaceable. Have you had them checked at a reputable automotive...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Ideally and the way it is designed the metal vacuum line will snap snugly into the modulator. The rubber hose was just to make a tight seal and retain the 2 pieces together. I have pictures if needed to explain. But that was the original design. Looks to me if that hose were shorter it would fit...

    And the glow plugs you pictured will require you to replace the female spade connectors on the wiring harness or making a small adapter with 3/16" male spades to 1/4" female spades. I would make the adapter. I always use and have for over 27 years the AC Delco 13G glow plugs. Never looked back...

    And I forgot to answer. The small pin I am referring to is the pin that activates the plastic vacuum control valve. It has 2 hose connections on it and controls the transmission shift. That little hatched pin has been missing on a few pumps. Retain that pin just in case. Good Luck.

    May I recommend that you change the rear coolant gaskets also. Since the heads are interchangeable right for left the coolant passages are also on the rear heads. One is just a blank cover plate and the other houses the glow plug temperature sending unit. Show a picture of which sending unit you...

    The dowel I am referring to is the one that goes in the shaft of the shift down VCV. I started to notice a few of the pumps I get back from rebuilding have the dowel pin missing for the VCV module. Do NOT remove that dowel pin from the drive flange. Looks like you nailed this job. Good Deal...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    Today I started out with great speed and here I am at the end of the day tired but feeling accomplished. I have the transfer case back and the entire driveline is assembled again. I just found out today i can no longer lift the transfer cases in place by myself. I felt a bit sad at first but...

    I never seen one without either. So if this one don't have one I will never be able to say that again and be truthful.

    You can get it down to a 1/4 tank by connecting into the auxiliary tap on the sending unit. If you start a siphon from that point it will draw it down to 1/4 full. But other then that I just block the tank and carefully remove the skid plate on the M1009 and the bracket bolts on the truck...

    Since you are using that old Injection pump as a core I wouldn't worry about it. But if you want take a punch or chisel and make a mark. You are going along nicely. Now get them 3 M8 bolts out of the oil fill hole. No worries about the gear and timing. The gear can not move in the teeth. there...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    WOW what an accomplishment. I was able to beat the heat and have all the grass mowed, trimmed and all the equipment in top running order for now. And all before 11AM. Now I am going to get the transfer case and complete the transmission and transfer case install on the M1009. I will post...

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    That looks good. I put a VDO tachometer in my M1009 at the same spot. I also split the cluster cover and added gauges to the lower radio cover. I done that on a few of these before most people wanted just plain stock vehicles. That M1009 I drove till it had 135K on it and sold it.

    OK. After you have the fuel injection system removed from the engine bay. I would clamp the flange ear in a vise and mark all the injection lines. Top in a circle 1 -8 or clock face numbers. They are 5/8 / 16MM nuts. Very tight tap them loose and they should spin right off. I think you know the...

    Well fixing the brakes was very easy. I replaced the axle brake tubing with the nickel copper brake lines and bled the rear brakes. I bought a QT of DOT 5 fluid. It was $25. Ouch. But that was what I needed and I bought it. Fixed the problem. After looking at the oil change it has not gone over...

    Pump shut down after battery short

    You need to find it. You are asking about a part that is steel floating inside of an engine with gears and chains. I think something happened here before like the bolts on the injection pump gear were loose. I had batteries drop right out on the road when the right inner fender gave way and it...
