    Low Idle

    If the delivery nozzles caused the idle issue then by all means replace them with the nozzles you removed. I have only ever had 2 nozzles fail after over 25 years of private use and they failed by leaking externally. I took all the nozzles I removed to a shop that tested them before I...

    M1009 IP Bulbs

    Barrmans way works but lately I have been doing the disassembly from the front and avoiding removal of the potato chip fragile cluster housing. Everything can be accessed and the bulbs changed and check before you reassemble and discover that 1 bulb that won't light after you spend hours...

    Leaky fuel line from tank to pump

    You caught me before I shipped. I will get that piece on the shipment still attached. So you are saying you need this entire piece.

    M1009 IP Bulbs

    When I seen IP I immediately thought Injection Pump. You are referring to the IC Instrument Cluster. I used 194 bulbs for years. My research below will set this issue straight. I had this talk before. Some guy told me the 194 was the temperature of the bulb and 168 was a cooler bulb. I really...

    1986 M1009 - Glow Plug System Issue?

    I can't prove it but you are going to have to trust me on this one. The stock system was thoroughly tested not only by the engineers at GM but by time itself. The last 6.2 diesel CUCV was built in 1987. That is well over 30 years ago. If you bought it and it was still running and needed repairs...

    Sprung hood at 30mph. Binding against cowl. Help

    Get the nylon wedges out and attempt to separate the hood from the cowl screen. It won't take much. Skip the Sawzall. Use care and you will prevail. It sounds like it needs some adjusting at this point. Don't the safety catch hold either?

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    I really like the way it sits with the 4 new leaf springs. it really looks like new. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I bought it in 1996. New Mexico National Guard unit. All the numbers were painted over when I bought it. It was barely used. Good Luck.

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Looks good to me. It was a long trip my Friend. That is all easy touch up. I expected worse after all the hands that went handled it. Thank you for the update. Enjoy. If you have problems with anything let me know. I will try and assist. Sending paint over is impossible. Thank you.

    Aftermarket gauge cluster for the squarebody vehicles??

    This is a CUCV site. How would that work out with dual alternators?

    ORD shackle flip on backorder?

    I work for a truck manufacturer and we build everything on demand. No more stock parts. Gone are the days of bins full of parts. They call it the KanBan system. Lean manufacturing. Avoids thousand of dollars in over stocked parts that may be obsolete before they are all used up...

    Wanted: 86' M1009 fuse box

    That means that the 2 wires that run under the truck to the transfer case are cut off. they will need your 2 spliced in place. That is all.

    M1009 Braking Issue

    I am thinking it could be the slides on the knuckle and the caliper. They need to be cleaned and polished and greased well so they can move in and out freely. they should be able to return to the neutral position as soon as the pressure is released. Remove them and replace the attaching hardware...

    Fair pricing for M1008 drivetrains

    Sell the truck and get a newer gasoline truck. That will fix all your problems. As I got older I didn't want all the maintenance of older vehicles so I bought new every 5 years and never looked back. Now I work on hem as a hobby not a necessity. Good Luck.

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    What about Rustoleum Rust Reformer? Back inside again it started raining. I don't work in the rain. Besides 10 hours on Sunday is enough.

    Battery not charging

    Good one. But it will still kick in a charge with higher RPM's. I have an M1028 that I use as my hauler of unwanted things and it has no Gen light. Rev it up and it charges normal. Tiered of looking for the issue and it has never been apart and I don't plan on fixing it as long as it works they...
