    M1009 transmission service.. hopefully a bad joke?

    I agree. Nothing is fool proof. Even an anvil can be broken. Mostly worn down. Reminds me of Fire and Rain Just yesterday morning a CUCV arrived. Well the plans he had put an end to me. I crawled out this morning and I wrote down a list. I just can't think if I covered everything. I've seen...

    M1009 transmission service.. hopefully a bad joke?

    Suits me and I am very fussy. One observation was that you need a short piece of 1/4" hose to seal the metal tube to modulator connection. Only takes a few minutes more to do it right. That would concern me more then catching that drain plug on anything. By the time something reaches that drain...

    Hard cold starts in hot weather.

    https://dieselcare.store/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwI2a8uf94wIVDtvACh1XHgKyEAAYASAAEgIHz_D_BwE I have used this vendor on no less than 50 pumps. Never had an issue. I don't try jacking around screws and turning things up. I just install the injection pump. Line to line time it and move on. I done them...

    Hard cold starts in hot weather.

    Did you ever have the intake off and check for throttle shaft leaks. Is there anywhere wet. It could be dropping the fuel prime. But yes a rebuilt injection pumps can be the cure for many ailments. Sounds like you are heading in the right direction. But getting the injection pump rebuilt is a...

    Driving through water

    I was in ridiculously deep mud and water at Trucks Gone Wild in Yankee Lake Ohio. Everything was well after I washed it up and I had no water in any of the axles or crankcase. The worst ting was the mud in the alternators. They both needed rebuilt and the starter was taken apart and gone over...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Lets just say I made a gallant effort to stay focused on the M1009 project. When what to my wondering eyes should appear. But a 1971 Mercedes Benz 220 diesel with a fuel leak and a locked right front caliper. Word must travel that this guy works on anything. Send me your broken and rusting and...

    NOS 6.2 cylinder heads

    I agree. For brand new heads that is a good deal. Last ones that I bought from GM were over $900. each new.

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

    Very nice. I have had the rear output seal kick me in the butt a few times. Now I just use a vise grips clamp it on the flange and strike the vise grips with the hammer. Done. That easy. Looks good under there. I would expect nothing less.

    6.2L fuel leak

    I have had and seen delivery nozzles that leaked externally. I changed them and the leak ended. Are all the nozzle nuts tight? And yes the rear 2 nozzles have caps on the back return fittings. Also the return lines running back the frame can rust/corrode/burn thru. I seen a few that were burnt...

    left ignition on now GP light does not light up

    Hard to tell. I would start ny pulling the glow plugs and getting an eye ball on them. Bench test them and just 1 or 2 can cause a start issue. That is where I would start. Also check if the power is getting thru the glow plug solenoid on the firewall to the glow plugs when the wait light is on...

    6.2L fuel leak

    The small hole under the delivery nozzle is where the glow plug is installed. I doubt it is leaking there. But there are many places that can leak. Finding the leak is the real challenge. Fixing the leak will be child's play. Good Luck. Be Safe.

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Last night was a step in the right direction. The left inner fender apron is installed, the rear tailgate jam is sanded and seam sealed at the bottom corners. That was the only spots on the gate that had come loose. I guess sitting out in the weather 10 years has that effect. I flipped the gate...

    Yes as stated both left and right heads are completely interchangeable. Only the sending units and cover plates require changing. It is a good deal at $1000. They are brand new. Good Luck.

    NOS 6.2 cylinder heads

    Even if the shipping is $200. it is a deal for new heads. Buy new complete 6.2 heads. Those are complete heads ready to install for $1000. . Sounds like a deal to me if I needed them. Easy get $500-$600 in rebuilding them completely. Good Luck. Those look like the newer style heads. I would say...

    NOS 6.2 cylinder heads

    That looks like a deal to me. I have a set still in the crates and would not consider selling them for that. I will use them as extras till someday. That day may never come. But I got that going for me. Which is good. You should buy them. I paid $550. to get 1 set rebuilt. Those are NOS. Deal.

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    I kept true to my word and finished sanding the underside of the hood. I flipped the hood over and closely examined the outer surface. Still perfect shape. For now I will set it aside and move onto getting the tailgate jam sanded/scuffed and painted. That should be fairly easy because the inside...

    glow plug relay chatters on Disconnect?

    I had an M1009 that done it for years. It actually played a twanging musical note right before it disconnected. Never had a trouble with it starting and it just stopped doing it one day. If it don't start I would get right on it.
