    More Starting Issues 1985 M1009

    Sounds like the starter checked out and gave up. I would remove the starter and have it rebuilt at a reputable shop. Is it a direct drive or a gear reduction?

    where is my NP208 leaking from?

    The governor cover is an easy fix. remove and replace the gasket. Let it drip dry before you seal it.

    intermittant wiper conversion

    I remember that the steering column in the GM vehicles was virtually unchanged from when it was introduced in 1969. My neighbor bought a 1969 Camaro and his wife had a Nova the same year. It was strange to see the keys hanging on side of the column. Of course the wiper switch/dimmer switch did...

    M1008 shift indicator

    just put a little dab of grease on that shoulder screw. Do you want me to send you a screw? At one time the tiny shift cable was sold as a seperate part thru GM. I have one somewhere here. I bought some really dumb stuff when the Chevrolet dealer was at 451 Jonestown Road and I live at 523...

    intermittant wiper conversion

    Oh Joy. I would like to see a step by step illustrated tutorial on that installation. I tried it twice on 2 scrap steering columns and found out for $50. I could buy a used column at a YOUPULLIT. That was easier. The price of the switch and the cost of the labor to install far outweighs the...

    Body mount bushing install questions.

    Not sure which kit you have but I used Energy Suspension and it required me to reuse the top mushroom spacers. I removed them cleaned and painted them. Of course. This is the kit and part number I ordered. I don't care they are RED. They are never seen. While in there and that far do the...

    Body mount bushing install questions.

    You can load new bolts into the core support. That is row 1 of supports. That is the easiest one. Row 2 under the drivers feet and row 3 at the front of the rear seating foot area you need to pull the bolts from the bottom. Row 4 & 5 is where the real bear comes in. the rubber and bushing are...

    Body mount bushing install questions.

    The back 4 mounts on the M1009 are the definite butt kickers. The second one front is welded to the floor and you need to get it high enough to get the top steel mounts out. I don't think you can do that from one side being loose. I am afraid you will need all the body mounts off of the main...

    Body mount bushing install questions.

    I don't think you will have any problems getting the core support bolts out. Getting the mounts out should be straight forward. I would use 2 bottle jacks one in front and one in back. Get a helper. Only lift it enough to get the old mounts out. I used a gantry set up and lifted the entire body...

    where is my NP208 leaking from?

    They can leak anywhere. They leak at the seals as you mentioned and at the seal where the tail housing connects and the 2 halves are just sealed with Permatex. I hope you don't have a cracked transmission/transfer case. The tail section of the transmissions are notorious for cracking as is the...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Very obvious why the pinion seal is leaking. Pop the old one out. In with a new one. I marked the pinion and the nut and counted the turns in the socket. I put it back together the same amount of turns and the line lined up. That easy. Used front drive shaft. Less money than the repairs on the...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Drain pan after working on my current project. Nice mess. Back when I started I noted the torn slip joint boot. The slip joint was locked up and I could not get the front part of the drive shaft off to change the front seal. I removed the entire drive shaft. Good thing I did. Rear U joint worn...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Just finished 75 hours at my full time job. Now it's home to play in the yard with a CUCV project. I still have a few things to do with my current repair. I hope to wrap that one up this weekend. I have another one setting there that needs work. That is another time. I will post pictures of...

    M1008 shift indicator

    That works also. But the issue we were discussing in the guide tab on the cluster housing. That breaks and the only way to replace the OEM guide is a complete cluster housing. They are long since discontinued and I am not sure aftermarket replacement have the fit and function. I never used one...

    Laundry list for the m1009

    That is not an upgrade. You can rebuild the 6.2 for less money. That also retains the value of the CUCV. Maybe you don't care. But I want you to consider that option. Have a Great Day. 1984-1986 gas engine Blazers are not worth much these days. Just keep that in mind. The diesel is what makes it...

    intermittant wiper conversion

    99% of the time it is the motor. Get a rebuilt one and call it fixed. But I never had a CUCV with intermittent wipers.

    Oil/Trans Cooler lines

    So I take it no one has ever purchased the transmission cooler lines from any of the company's selling after market parts. I called LMC they list a diesel but don't know what transmission it fits. The picture/diagram does not show the right side exit from the transmission and the left radiator...

    M1008 shift indicator

    This is the Ford fuel cap tether screw that I have used lately to replace the broken cluster guide. I have used the GM interior trim screw also. The problem I had with that is the built in washer spins and the cable can get caught between the washer and the screw The shoulder screw has worked...

    M1008 shift indicator

    Easier. Just pull the 10 amp fuse in the bottom center of fuse box. And you can fix the broken clip/support with a shoulder type screw. The type they used on fuel cap tethers. I will send you a screw. The fine tuning of the shift indicator is the part that requires patience. But if the cable and...
