    Laundry list for the m1009

    Your truck was built with a NON EGR intake. The CUCV's were emissions exempt. So yes just get an injection pump for a J code. Actually just order the pump on line and they will send a self addressed mailer for you to attach to return your core. Not saying you will get the exact same pump back...

    front driveshaft boot?

    For all intended proposes one can simply take a motorcycle innertube and cut a short section out of it and clamp/zip tie/duct tape it fast if you are looking for function not form. It works. I used it on other vehicles that were Off Road use only. Or for temporary if you are that fussy. It works...

    Cab roof insulation

    Anything you inject/place into that hollow steel cavern is going to do nothing but promote rust. I cut these roofs off when they were 10 years old and they were very rusty inside. I would opt to live with the noise or buy a simple screw in stock style headliner. That will add sound deadener and...

    Laundry list for the m1009

    The injection pump is an easy inexpensive swap. I am ready for the fall out but I used Diesel Care and it cost less than $350. from door to engine. I changed many and have had few to no problems. There are a lot of CUCV's out there running that I used Diesel Care injection pumps on. Do as you...

    M1028a2 front hub rehab

    Describe 2 piece seal. I think it is just a 1984 dually front grease seal. Nothing special that I am aware of. I only ever had 1 dually CUCV and I bought standard parts for it at Autozone, NAPA, or Mom and Pop auto parts. Same as civilian. I bought National seals. I hope that helps. Get the...

    front driveshaft boot?

    :-D That will never seal the driveshaft sealed in the GM packaging.:grin: But truthfully there are many companies out there that made dust covers for driveshaft slip joints. You wanted an OEM one and I bought everyone I could find 20 years ago.

    front driveshaft boot?

    To my knowledge long since discontinued. I had a few and they were $100. each the last few I had. I could be wrong but Tinstar also was in search of. Good Luck.

    front driveshaft boot?

    They had 2 types. Type 1 had the grease fitting. Type 2 had the sealed/booted unit. Both are fine. And you can run without the boot. Just be sure to do a semi annual cleaning and greasing of the spline and yoke. It has worked on my trucks for 20 + years. The type one with the grease fittings...

    Oil/Trans Cooler lines

    Ok this gets read from the bottom to the top. I have been inquiring about replacement transmission cooler lines for a truck I am going to be working on. I will order these and report back on fit and ease of installation. I used K10 as the example so I didn't get the normal reply from LMC that...

    NP208 to NP241 Swap with Pictures

    What year fits that. I have a complete NP241 from a 1988 V3500 cab chassis. The case is split. I can look if you think it will fit.

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Now that the rains have ceased I may get back to work on my project. Yesterday I was at the scrap yard unloading scrap steel and I seen OD green stuff piled up. Lots of parts. Not much I can do but I walked over to the pile and they were pushing back with the loader I seen a brand new gear...

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

    Nice job. I would torch out the spring bushing bolts in a heartbeat. You can clean the springs and repaint them or replace them. But you can also add the Energy Suspension spring bushings, sway bar bushings, shackle bushings to the list. Also get the Prothane Big Block radiator isolators. Keep...

    M1009 locking hubs .

    Very easy to take the hubs apart. If stock hubs are in place a TX25 will be all you need to remove the handles/covers. The bear is the snap ring holding the hub body in the hub. Getting that outer wire ring out can be a bear for an amateur. 2 small screw drivers and you can nail it. Then the...

    Ok, another "what's it worth" question?

    I have 2 that have been parked 19 years. I am constantly harvesting donor parts from them. If you have a place to keep it and it is available at a decent price. Buy it. Parts are hard to come by. Many of the parts are next to impossible to find. Odd parts are worth the storage. It is hard to...

    M1009 front hub gets Warm

    https://youtu.be/BhL1uAp_WCw This way works better. I do it this way. I have the automatic type but prefer this method. I always like getting dirty. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

    Cucv coolant leak at rear of block

    No luck with the pressure tester you will buying? That is going to be the tell all. It should be able to maintain the 14lbs?? of pressure and not leak down any. But at this point it is all a guessing game. Pressure test it. Water leaks can be very tricky. Any fluid for that part. Good Luck...

    CUCV M1008 - RunAway Starter

    The starter relay is directly above the gas pedal. It is in behind where the radio would be on a civilian truck. Good Luck. easy fix. Probably had weak amperage batteries and started hard for a while.

    CUCV M1008 - RunAway Starter

    The starter relay under the dash is stuck. Is this a trick question? It sounds like I am being baited into a starter relay debate. But my way is to just change the $20. relay. Others opinions will differ. Mine is a plug and play. And that is about all I am going to say about that. Back to the...
