My old scrap M1009 still has a few parts on it. It was 39* today and the sun was shining. After digging the black sealer from the under hood column support nuts I was quick to get the nuts and bracket removed. This This is the under hood firewall side steering column bracket. Held in with 2 M10...
Anyone know is that what someone in the "parts wanted" is calling a type 2 steering wheel? I removed this from a 1987 M1009 many years ago. I was parting out the truck and found it odd that this wheel was in it. I seen a few more CUCV's with this wheel. Anyone know? Have a Great Day. Stay Warm...
Update. After spending a few hours reading and looking for a diagram with the wiper switch illustrated I give up. I have found the closest written step by step instructions I am going to find in TM 9-2320-289-34 section 8-2 Steering column maintenance. It shows everything but the wiper switch...
Quick check. Is the current traveling from the top 3/8' stud to the bottom 3/8" stud? Test light and helper needed. Slag build up in the relay can do this. report back.
I have done all this before. Taking them apart was a piece of cake. You just remove fasteners and pieces fall off. I took several apart. It is like anything else. Getting it back together and operational is the most important part. I have several CUCV columns I disassembled. I just gave one...
I went and looked thru a few stored TM's I had for many years. I have a TM 9-2320-289-34 Intermediate direct support/General Support maintenance manual. Better pictures of changing the turn signal switch and that's about it. I will keep looking. I can change the turn signal switch with one eye...
I would take a trip to a hydraulic shop or a parts store and get an O ring that fits. Do you have an old one. There were 2 do you have just 1 as a sample. Not much special as long as it fits snug on the aluminum line. I don' have a part number. I walk in get one that fits and .50 later it is in...
Hey they are discontinued. I have a parts friend at the GM dealer that says he has 4 of the OEM 14055585 O rings in stock. He will get back to me when he locates them. Are you interested? I am either way. I wanted to make the offer. They are GM captured parts. It will be a few days. Have a...
I would go get some from a automotive parts house. I do it all the time. Nothing special about them. they fit snug on the oil cooler lines and they are good to go. I use green ones when I can find them. Good Luck. I wouldn't sweat the OEM oil O rings. I think Felpro makes them.
I looked around in my shop manuals and found the GM shop manuals for 1984, 1985, 1986 CK10-30 and K5 utility. These manuals cover every thing in light duty truck line. P & G van and Suburban. The information to remove the wiper switch is vague at best. It has page after page of how to rebuild...
OK. I went out and looked and came up with a plan. I will use this column from a scrap M1009 as the experimental column. The M1009 has been in the yard for 20 years and I want to dispose of it in Spring. I am going to remove everything salvageable and save the frame. It has a front axle, wiring...
You do have issues. You must have a Gen2 idiot light that works for that alternator to charge. I don't think that is what is causing the voltmeter to not work. It would show a low charge. Hard to tell what has been cut into. I see things that are not original and don't know what else has been...

I know a guy that has some of them. ME. parts are available.
I want to make absolutely sure it is the wiper switch that is bad. It would really be bad to tear into the column and the switch not be the culprit. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I will do my best to master it.
Where are your pictures? Pictures or it never happened. I looked in the manual and see nothing that gives complete instructions. I will continue to do my research. I will master the task. Like I mentioned these 30+ year old columns are full of mud and crud. I scoped mine and it looks dry and...
You do need a rubber/fiber guide. The window needs to be secured in the track so it can go up and down in the track. Metal against the glass ends up with binding and broken tempered glass. LMC makes the guides and they work well as long as everything else in the gate is clean and polished. If...
