I just found this one and have one ordered. I may buy everyone I see at this point. I NEVER was held up for lack of parts...
No good news on the fuel pump. My Wife looked up the Summit order and it shows back ordered. Not to cause an alarm but how can that be a simple 6.2 diesel lift pump hard to get. Maybe it is the fact that the imports are low at the moment and the shelves are getting empty of a lot of things. I...
Check you fuses carefully. Pull them out and closely look at them. The stop lights are on the same power leg as the PITA 30 AMP lighting fuse. Midway up right side of fuse box. Why did they put the fuse box under the dash? So many nice places it could have been placed.
I have been working on the Jersey Indian M1028. It was brought here not starting and I checked the fuel flow it had fuel and pumped fuel the pump was full of fuel when I opened the top. I could not get fuel out to the nozzles. I removed the pump and sent it out for rebuilding. I installed the...
You got this thing. Just get a 3/8" socket and crank them out just like you are changing a spark plug on a lawn mower. We will cross that swelling bridge if we get to it. I don't think we will. And yes 13G A C Delco. tried and true. Tell me what you are taking out? And is the resistor pack...
OK. If you pull all 8 of your glow plugs and bench test them. While they are out I would unplug the injection pump red wire and replace the fuel filter. This way you can open the bleeder on top of the filter housing and crank it over easily and bleed the new filter. It is best to have a helper...
I think you need to come pay a visit. In a few short years I will be selling off all this stuff. I have 2 more M1009's to complete and my assignment is complete. Let me know what you need.
If it were me the first thing I would do was pull all 8 glow plugs out and bench test them. That is of course knowing that you have power going thru the glow plug solenoid and getting to the glow plugs. Secondly I would see if the valley under the injection pump is wet or under the fuel filter...
Fuel does not need to leak out to allow air is. If it gets air it also allows for back feed of fuel. This puts massive amounts of air in the lines and then the system must purge that air to operate and start as designed. It really isn't that difficult to keep the air out. But like I stated. If...

I do know you will not be able to stuff the 33" tires up in the wheel wheels on very rough terrain. They get stuck up in there and hit the inner fenders with the stock...
Looks good. May I advise to go the extra and get a new set of cables made up or at least get the solder on crimped cable ends. The bolt on ones are not the best way to go and with the draw on the starter you will be making hot connections with the bolt on cable clamps. just some advice. Not my...
It is a very simple mechanical system on the stock CUCV. The engine has very few issues. If I were to want to make a reliable vehicle of it I would consider going over the engine. Heads and all gaskets, rebuilt injection and lift pump all seals. And having the transmission gone over at a...
Are the black pieces on top of the batteries part of the adapter? That front battery is not very secure with that set up. I see so many CUCV's with the batteries unsecure and without the upper covers and braces. That front battery could easily slide forward and if allowed to slip around...
Doing that swap will devalue the vehicle. It has a very stout and well proven driveline and engine. No race car by any means but definitely a tried, true and reliable truck. I have been driving them hard for over 25 years in private use and completely stock. They have over worked and outlast...
You do know that the battery retainer studs are adjustable and can be moved in to support and attach group 24 batteries. The nuts 1/4 X 20 are captured in the battery trays for that purpose. The group 24 size batteries (A C Delco 1111 ) were what came from the factory. The reason for the large...
If you are patient you can change that fuel line with the manifold in place. But I would pull it and replace the entire fuel line. It was special but special isn't available anymore so make the best of what you can. Good Luck.
