    Arrived...........the M1009/BIAB1 from german M1008

    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...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    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...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    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...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    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...

    Tell me what you need. I know I have it used and OEM. I may even have NEW OEM. I do know how hard K5 Blazer gate parts are to find. Been a long time.

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    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...

    Question about Rebuilt(?) TH-400

    Loud Bang Coming From the Rear (of my M1009)

    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...

    Question about Rebuilt(?) TH-400

    Replacement Fuel Tank

    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...

    Pump shut down after battery short

    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...

    Loud Bang Coming From the Rear (of my M1009)

    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...

    Loud Bang Coming From the Rear (of my M1009)

    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...

    Terminus M1009

    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...
