Am I all out in the stratosphere with my Permatex The Right Stuff? It works quick and never leaks. That simple. A small bead around the base where the driver hits the block attach the M10 bolt tighten it and done. That easy. I would be more concerned with the air filter base gasket being in...

I don't think I showed the new lines in the bracket. Here they are. Have a Great Day.

Yesterday as I was out working on a customers M1009 I decided it was time to get working on mine. After the egg hunt and lunch I went down to the barn and started working on my left fender./ I had it painted and undercoated twice before. Something was wrong with the unlaying paint. It kept...

https://arrowcraftproducts.com/kit-299/ Complete set. I bought and used 2 of these on snow plow and salt spreader trucks. I have since retired the trucks and still have the adapters. 16" dually wheels were a popular item they fit utility trailers we had.

The focus lights in all the M1010's I seen had switches on each light. On the back side.

That radiator looks like a brand new one. Just when I was rolling along I found more half fast work. Fixed and moved on. I clipped all 3 and re spliced them with heat shrink connectors. This is the missing link. Seems many of the CUCV's are missing this piece also. I guess some guys just throw...

Last week during the initial teardown this is what I found as the Gen 2 spacer. Seems like a lot of them went missing. I had a machine shop make me a few back in the day. I still had one left. I was thinking of using a Harbor Freight 3/8"drive x 1/2" deep socket and grinding it down. Then I...

And I am still looking for a new set of pre-bent transmission cooler lines for a customers truck. I did make them in the past but it is not labor cost effective. Any good ones out there?

I am looking for replacement automatic transmission lines for a 1984 CUCV M1028. I came across this old post. Yesterday I had the pleasure of replacing the engine oil cooler lines on a customers M1009. I had the wheel wells/inner fenders/aprons removed so I was cheating. I done it sitting at the...

https://youtu.be/mmtQwtcaqLM The weather report shows cloudy and a small percentage of precipitation. I am up to the challenge. I want this M1009 off my repair list. I have fought enough broken, stripped bolts and poor assembly. Not to mention lift kits and other non standard BS. It was a fun...

I am more impatient than you are. I hate that M1009 sitting in my barn unassembled. One good thing it is in a time capsule. I will get it started and out again. I have great plans for that original M1009. I must get onto my current build and get onto that Little Red Riding Hood. Thank you for...

I think you are referring to the rear axle brake valve on the rear axle of the pick up trucks. But the one he is showing will be required on all CUCV models. No way to get away from that one.

With the right and left valve cover gaskets changed it was time to change the oil cooler lines. I had a great advantage with the left inner fender and wheel removed. I removed the bracket and all on the cooler lines. I called NAPA and told them t deliver me a pair of oil cooler lines. These...

New valve cover gaskets. I used a thin bead of Permatex The Right Stuff to adhere the gaskets to the covers. I can tell these valve covers were off before because the nozzle nuts have orange Permatex on them. When ever they were off they did a poor job of resealing them. Everything put back as...

Is it getting fuel to the nozzles? Do the glow plugs work? Just pouring in mystery fluids will do no good if the fuel does not get delivered to the nozzles the correct time. I think it is the injection pump. It must get fuel delivery. I think the clunking is the starter getting tired of cranking...

Before the radiator shop. After the radiator shop. Outside appearance has changed a bit and inside is clean as new. If you radiator is in need of attention. Now is the time to do it before the brutal summer heat lets you setting along the road somewhere. I still see CUCV's that have the OEM...

I don't know any of that. I know it don't shift and slips it's time for rebuilding. I am a parts replacer. I do what I know how to do and let the rest up to professionals that know what they are doing. I have not worked in a GM garage since 1988. Lots of things have changed since then. I just...

I would remove the transmission and get it gone over at a reputable transmission shop. I have everyone gone over just because they are 30+ years old and the seals and clutches are dried out and everything is not functioning as designed. I do the R & R myself to cut costs. I do it on the ground...

Have you considered exchanging the entire wiring harness from an unhacked CUCV?

If all else fails I will cover this. Used of course. Still usable.
