They will rub on hard flex and off road. I would recommend staying with the 31". Or NOT. Trim away. I wheeled the stock M1009 many times and it will do the job with 31" tires. Happy Holidays. I also have a complete 4" lift I removed from an M1009.

What are you calling a hinge pin? Picture please?

The fuel tank is out. And I exceeded my goal for the day. I really don't think the fuel tank is leaking but at this point I am going to coat a new one and install it along with a new pick up sock. The fuel line was leaking and probably when the fuel expanded in the heat it was a straight leak...

And I had set the goa; of getting the skid plate off. On an M1009 that in itself can be a great task. I was able to meet my goal in about and hour. The skid plate was out and in order to do that the draw bar mustbe removed from the pintle hitch assembly. With the skid plate and draw bar removed...

I am currently involved in the repair of an M1009. I do several repairs each year to customers CUCV's. I have decided to post the repairs. This M1009 belongs to a return customer and is in decent condition. It was brought to me with a leaking fuel tank. I was going to make it easy on myself and...

Sharecropper I agree. It looked like a 12 year old using an Erector set that was from 2 different brands. Nothing would align properly. I wasn't a member here then. You know I would have photobombed that mess.

I have recovered this thread because a few people are asking questions in PM's about what happened to my short bed M1009. As I like to call it the Mule. It was returned to M1009 OEM specs and sold. My Mule M1009 cash was rolled over into a much needed tractor. Happy Holidays. Be Safe.

I had a Police M1009 back in 2012. Bought it at the local auction. It had this same A/C unit. And yes it was all jacked up. I removed every stich of it and returned it to stock. I think the guys that installed had no mechanical knowledge. Bolts were missing and yes pulley alignment was way off...

I would start fresh and remove them all and get a visual on them. I check them with a jump pack and a little oil. Dip the tip in oil. Hook the negative to the threaded shaft. Touch the positive to the spade. It will or should smoke instantly. If not the glow plug is defective. And it should be...

It may require the entire petcock screw. Report back. Happy Holidays.

Yea I am sure I have the heater cover. Nothing that a piece of .040 aluminum wont replace on my end. Left one had the newer hinged design. They had this problem early on with the hanging door and redesigned the cover. I have been to Mark Body in Imlay City Michigan.

Hi Beams is a piece of cake. Before you tear into it. Get some spray. Electrical contact cleaner. Spray it up into the dimmer switch area. Work the switch back and forth vigorously. That can cure the issue sometimes. If not the replacement is about $20. US and takes an hour or less to replace...

I think it is the injection pump. After is starts it should stay running. Unless you visually see fuel leaking or a hose cracked and wet. Even then it will and should stay running. The rubber head of the injection pump is coming or came apart and is jamming things up inside. I have had this...

Same goes for the CUCV diesel engine. Once ignited and running compression takes over on all cylinders. I can tell when my CUCV has a glow plug or 2 not working. I never had all 8 fail at one time. I never left it go that long. It I experienced a hard start I checked them all by removing them...

I beg to differ. Many of the companies don't even make plows for these old trucks anymore. I have refurbished several and sold them. But I do agree if they are all rusted and missing parts they are scrap. I saved the front frame section from the Big Red M1008. It has a Western Pro mount on the...

Things were going so well today I decided to get a few more items off the M1009 to do list. The tail lamp lenses were original GM Guide lenses. I installed them when I rebuilt and painted the truck back in 2007. I scrubbed them up with Dawn dish soap and an old tooth brush. Good as new. That...

After raking all the leaves and cleaning the yard I decided it was time to do a little work on the M1009. That is what I do on Black Friday. My assembly error was I attached the rear outer bumper braces before the D ring lifting brackets. This is the pieces I failed to install. If you don't have...

Will it run thru dirt and mud? Yes it will it loves the crud. Will it wash all nice and clean? Yes it will with a pressure washing machine. I know you will never do this to your CUCV machine. I did it many times and it was better than a Timex. Happy Holidays. :p

Get a $1. O Ring and correct the problem. Or spend more and change the design. My opinion if it matters any would be the O ring. Retain the original system by repairing what is leaking. If I have a leaking engine I repair the leak. I mean that stock fuel filter has maintained itself leak proof...

Hey Rusty Stud. Happy Thanksgiving to all. The M1009 seat is completely different than the M1008/M1028 all the truck models. The M1009 has latch 1 point outer side to fold the seat front. The inner pivot point is a shoulder bolt. And yes years of fatigue and abuse have taken the toll on the...
