It is basically the same bulb socket as the side marker light on the front fender. I had mine wired on my M1028. That had an OEM floor mat and was easy to conceal the wire. With the no mat option the wire must lay on the surface. I didn't want any wires on the surface. I even move the 4WD wire...
Unfortunately all good things come to an end. I never replaced Hansel because I didn't want to suffer that loss again. I have a Cat now I like it but the bond is not the same. As far as rust it never sleeps. And it can be lurking below the surface unbeknownst to the builder. I don't know how...
I am happy with what I see in the pinch welds of the door jam. I am also happy with the underside of the floor. I thoroughly steam cleaned this under side while it was hoisted up in the air. I done that back in the days when the company was small and we could do things at the plant. No more of...
After 5 hours of heating, scrapping and sanding I have partially removed the plastic tar covering that was added at the factory. Being brush painted with a heavy coat of 383 CARC green did not help the situation. I have burnt thru every chemicals I have and 50 sheets of 80 grit DA sand paper...
At this point I would tap out and get the injection pump rebuilt. I know it is like $450. for everything but it is the next move. the avoiding the injection pump rebuild dance is over. Time to get real and get it done. Make sure you get a dated pump old out dated injection pump. I learned that a...
Here is an old story about a full size Chevy Blazer. This accident happened up in the Raucsh Creek area back in 1984. A bit scary. I was just thinking about it while I was working out in the garage. Imagine the size of the hole in the earth that swallowed a full size Chevy blazer and allowed it...
It has issues. The issues need resolved or further damage will occur. Use caution when choosing who works on anything you own. Good Luck. GA is a long way off. I would assist if I could. Take Care. I have a few rebuildable cases here. Not burnt out but I don't sell or install used Automatic...
I am still scrapping tar plastic off the drivers side floor area under the pedals. Slow process so I don't burn the paint off. Oh Joy I love it. I will do some pictures this weekend. Take Care and Be Safe.
I doubt you cracked the ring and pinion. I picture you had wheel spin on ice or snow and it caught and broke a tooth. It happens. I always use 4WD to avoid spinning. But I had used these m1009's very very hard and never broke the rear. My Son's on the other hand could break an Anvil. My new...

I am going to ask. Did they rebuild the transmission? And did they adjust the vacuum? It sounds to me like the reverse band in the...
Mike I have the tank saddles from original CUCV trucks. They are OEM and will need blasted and painted but in excellent over all condition. You can buy a strap set and make these as good as new. Let me know. I can box them up with the M1009 fuel cup. Isn't the tank I sold you up to the projects...
You can have 12 volts in a battery and it is scrap. Most importantly is CCA. You must check the Cold Cranking Amps. Check this out and get the batteries load tested. Weak battery's are the root of all evil that happens to the CUCV starting and glow plug system. No need for modifications to the...
I would clean the cover plate surface and the axle really good and use a paper gasket and the Permatex Right Stuff. I would fill it full and we can go from there. the axles will need pulled out and everything looked at. I will get a look at my parts rear and see if I have the 4 inner gears. Do...
Lets clean it up real good and get new oil in it. You can drive it here. I will check with a friend of mine that rebuilds rears. I have a few M1009 rears for parts and if the spider gears are bad in yours I think we could get this fixed up. I done it before. It worked for many years. I don't...
There is more to rebuilding starters and alternators then throwing a few parts from a kit into them. I think that is why people always have problems with things like this. They want to just replace a few items and ignore the major components that require expensive electrical equipment for...
