    Leaky fuel line from tank to pump

    The line is like new. Very little rust if any. Still covered in Ziebart. From the brass fitting back is all you need? I compared it to the M1028 and it is the correct part.

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    Everyday since May 10th this has been my view. Now that the temperatures are not as sweltering I am able to complete a panel a day. I am on my last 10 as of today. Joy. I know I could have just sprayed paint on it. I paid $1700. to have it painted 12 years ago. I was wondering how they done it...

    So you don't need the brass block and the top side line?

    Leaky fuel line from tank to pump

    Take a few pictures of exactly what sections you need and we can go from there. I know the front section from the right wheel house to the pump. And I need to know what other sections.

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    I am locked in the barn and working every hour of the day. The virus has me maxed out in hours on the job and the rain has me held back from completing the roof. Today I wanted to give a paint stripper a try on the floor CARC. . Massive fail. I put the stripper on the floor 3 times and went and...

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

    Very nice piece you have there. I never had much problems with that tried and true OEM part. A few pressure switches over the past 25 years but nothing more. I am as excited as you for the M1009 to arrive.

    1986 M1009 - Glow Plug System Issue?

    I think you need a new relay and a set of AC Delco 13G glow plugs and if the wait light comes on you should be ready to roll. slag and corrosion have built up on the main contacts of the old firewall mounted relay. Get a good one and you should be good.

    Leaky fuel line from tank to pump

    It lasted 35+ years. Do you want OEM stuff? I probably have it in my barn. Shipping is the problem. But really if it lasted this long it outlived it's expected life.

    Doghead dilemma

    https://www.wiringdepot.com/jt-t-tech-articles/Fusible-Link-Wire-FAQs That black canister is a fancy sealed butt connector. Check out the link I provided. Fusible link wire is available at most auto parts stores. No do NOT replace the fusible links wires with a fuse. The fusible link is a bit...

    Anyone Use Inline Tube Brake Line Kit?

    IMHO unless you are going to take the vehicle down to the bare frame you may as well just make your own brake lines and install them. I see brand new lines and new fancy parts on rusty frames and think. This person could have done better and spent wiser money on other things. Bending brake lines...

    M1009 fuel line question

    but after seeing the brass barb leak on the old one I never seen a brass barb on a CUCV stock diaphragm lift pump. Please share a picture if you have one. Must be someone's hack job. But the diaphragm pumps do have a weep hole on each side to leak fuel when they are going bad. It used to just...

    M1031 rear box mount

    Hockey pucks will not work. I had a friend tell me that and he tried it. They are to hard and do not flex at all. the will crumble. I am asking because I have a few brand new cab mounts from 2018 GM vehicles that are brand new. They have the metal mushrooms and the bolts and nuts. Also have many...

    Why not some cab mounts?

    M1009 fuel line question

    Do as you wish it is your truck. But I would stick with the OEM pump design. You are just adding complications to a relatively simple system. You can change the original diaphragm pump in less than an hour and call it fixed. Don't add more wiring and change the design because it needs a new...

    Wanted: 86' M1009 fuse box

    I can remove one from an M1009 that I have for parts. The only wire I know that is hacked is the 4WD 2 wires that run to the transfer case.

    Question about M1028 Charging System

    That is because all the 12 volt accessories and lights are being drawn off the front battery. With just 1 alternator the system limped it's way home. Get the batteries both charged and load tested. Then get the proven operational alternators back on properly and test the vehicle. You should be...

    GLOW PLUG nightmare !

    Remember, If you do break off a tip while trying to remove, you can usually get it out by removing injector and using a magnet. That statement is not true. The glow plug tip is NON ferrous alloy. And the glow plug hole is a tapered seal to seal the compression in. Thus the tight tolerances...

    How do yall like this gem of a repair?

    I found that the radius was not true and would not align with the gate. It required more effort than doing a splice. Also the other companies sell the same knock off parts all probably from the same dies. They just brand them different with different brand stickers. Sure you can get it to work...
