Today was the day. After sitting in the shed since September it was time to get the 1987 M1028 out and do some hard dirty work. This truck never seems to age. Like a state of suspended animation. I glowed it and it fired right up. Drove it out into the daylight and it ran like new. I noticed the...

After a long rest and being stored in the shed I decided today was the day to get the old CUCV M1028 battle wagon out and take it for a drive. It was inside in the dark and hadn't been run since September. It glowed and started like a champ. Nothing new there. As I emerged from the shed I...

As I was cleaning I came across many receipts from the local Chevrolet dealer that was just down the road. They are out of business now. Genuine GM block Heater PN 996246 I know this subject has arose on several occasions. It is a direct fit in the center freeze plug on drivers side. I...

Today I went and picked up my 4Wd transfer case switch. Dorman 600-504 $15. at the local parts store. I also ordered 24 new lug nuts. I came home and installed the switch. I used a dab of Permatex the Right Stuff on the seat of the switch. I was alone during the diagnosis and used the vise grips...

Cool idea. I have a list of VIN's also of a few of the CUCV's that were thru my shop in the mid to late 90's. On a rainy cold day I may list them here. I am sure someone out there has one or more of the CUCV's I rebuilt. Be Safe and Have a Great Day.

Hard to tell. You have a few things going on that make it hard to assist. What has been changed and what is as designed? Weak batteries are a big problem with the CUCV vehicles. More so than other vehicles. Not sure how to help from afar. Do you have the correct glow plug relay? Good Luck. I...

Not a whole lot of progress to report. I did get the steering wheel and horn button reinstalled. I also cleaned out all the non needed parts that were inside the cab area. I continued cleaning my work area. I found lots of parts I needed. I found 2 non vented coolant overflow caps. I found 3 of...

Dougco1 I attached the M1009 right door picture. Not perfect but definitely useable with a little blast , seam sealer and paint. Very small spot. I could not see how to send pictures on the message thread. Happy New Year. I just came in from the garage again. I will return in 2020. Be Safe.

I spent the remainder of the day after lunch working on my nemesis the CUCV instrument cluster. Everything went pretty smooth. I cleaned and reassembled as I went. I used my bearing and screw method on the shift indicator cable. Everything was working and just like that the 4WD light was...

Today I went out and at least looked at the instrument cluster. I am going to go out and get on it. First I wanted to clean up a few parts related to the cluster. The cluster bezel. And the steering wheel. Both were a bit dirty and the cluster was hacked. I received a lot of flak about removing...

If you have smoke and blowby I would say you have a cracked head or better and easier a blown head gasket. I had my Mule M1009 with a bad head gasket and ran it for years. 1 day in the winter it started smoking and steaming out of one pipe and that meant it was time to do the repairs. I pulled...

After I finished with my lunch I went out to the barn and went to work on the front B/O lamps and the bridge placard. I attached the parts and properly tucked and tied the wiring up to the bumper braces. Everything I am doing needs to be done anyway. But I still have not worked on that...

Good Afternoon. I spent about 4.5 hours down in the barn today working on my Decade M1009 project. I made a goal for today to get the drawbar up in place. I also planned on aligning the rear bumper and getting everything tightened and adjusted. It was a bit of a challenge alone. But the XM radio...

Check over in CUCV hottrodding and modifications. They really like turbo CUCV's over there. Good Luck.

Mad Texan I have a door like that one on the right. I mean a perfect match. And by the way I am going to be getting the M1010 bodies out of my back yard this coming spring / summer. I hope to get rid of all the containers and scrap vehicles I currently have. Moving on and never looking back...
