I am not sure what went wrong. I may be placing the M1009 up "For Sale" again. I may have been played. Am I correct in requesting proof of insurance and full name to get the transfer process started. I bought hundreds of vehicles and always presented that before hand. Be Safe. No Worries. I can...

Do yourself a favor and replace the injection pump. Set you back $350. with gaskets but worth the effort. I see people always dancing around the injection pump replacement. it makes every CUCV better. It fixes a lot of ill's and makes the truck more reliable and easier to start. If the engine...

Lostforwords. Are you Lostforgood?

Did you get the bearing back in place?

Do you need a driveshaft for an M1009. I would have one. And not cost you $400. Let me know. 717 673-5395 rengle523@comcast.net

OH the beating that column bushing took. I am sad to see hammer and chisel marks on any steering column. If it were me I would remove the column and figure out a way to get that bearing back in with a deep socket. Do it on a work bench where you have some access and can control the installation...

May I suggest converting it back to stock glow plug system. I have used it on every CUCV vehicle I owned for 25 years and just maintained things as the need arose. I don't recall having any real issues. Good Batteries and an easy starting CUCV are key to no starter problems. Have a hard starting...

I worked at several GM dealers from the mid 70's thru late 80's and every vehicle that came had a different set of keys. I was in new car/truck check-in and we recorded every vehicle on a hand written check in sheet and noted the key codes for each vehicle. We had a Curtiss key machine and it...

Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Commercial_Utility_Cargo_... GM produced some 70,000 CUCVs from 1983 to 1986 the same key works on all 50,000 CUCV trucks. Do they have a different key for the other 20,000? Just joking. And even Wikipedia lists 1983-1986...

WHAT? Defused an atomic bomb that could blow up in my face. I made a compromise. I did NOT stir the pot.

Bring it. But NOT right now. I am NOT going to turn work away. just be selective of what I get involved in. Some projects I get questioned on are NOT worth the money or effort. Some people are hard headed and take it somewhere else and I am fine with that. Selective is what I like to call it. I...

I think you have this covered. Good Luck. Glad to see you were proceeding with caution. The potential for disaster is clear and present. Thank you.

Today I went to replace the TH400 pan and I discovered it was gone. I never thought a stock TH400 pan had any value. I looked for 2 days on and off and I decided to weld and hammer out the old one. it had a hole from the filter bolt and was dented from carrying it with a forklift to get it back...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/contacted-dog-head-relay-connections.196954/ Be careful. Be very careful. IMHO a sealed unit with NO open connections will work out much better. Or do as you wish. I would do some research and play it safe. That is a lot of positive current in an area...

After winding another 100 miles in road testing all is well. 1 exception is the volt meter has a mind of it's own. It worked fine till last night I stopped and went in a store. Came out and started the truck and no voltmeter. The 10 amp fuse is good because if that is blown the Gen 2 light will...

Heat that weld nut up and get a vise grips on an easy out and back that broken out out of that hole. Good luck. Change all the fasteners with new and discard them old fasteners. Make Life easier.

All weekend it was a busy time. I picked up the M1009 from the transmission shop. The shifting issue was the vacuum hose was sucking itself shut. It was new hose. Not sure why. But they replaced the hose and said maybe it was washer hose and that is not as strong and ridged. Possible. I bought...

Looks like an easy fix. I would cup brush that entire floor area and then use a DA and an 80 grit sand paper. After you are done repair the rusted area and treat the entire floor with rust reformer of some sort. Rust Mort, anything but POR. That stuff makes in difficult to top coat. My go to...

Dust beats RUST 10 fold. I know it will start and run just fine. I drove it up the road a few years back and put it thru the course. It still ran perfect. A bit drafty and uncomfortable sitting on the wooden stool.

Green Machines are moving out of my property in a few years or less. When I am completed I will have my Tractors and other equipment in the barn. I will be cleaning out my stash of CUCV parts and marketing them when I complete the 2 remaining M1009's I have. I am thinking about completing my...
