    Laundry list for the m1009

    This looks like an easier route then changing the engine. And if it works and holds the other repairs will still be easier then the engine change. Good Luck.

    Oil pump check valve?

    I don't think so. I know if you ever let the oil pan drain plug out of one for an extended period of time and then fill it with oil and install a filter. It will take a short time for the idiot light to go out on start up. So I would say no. I know why your asking. I would pull the wire from the...

    Laundry list for the m1009

    I found this while digging around for words to help with the welding. It pretty much sums it up. I have a few good blocks in PA if you ever get by this way. Very inexpensive. I hope this helps. I fixed a few forklift blocks back when money was tight. 1) Degrease as best as you can. Oil &...

    Laundry list for the m1009

    So the crack is in the water jacket and not in the combustion chambers? May sound strange but I would weld it. If the engine runs good and it is static coolant leak I would get a good welder to weld the cast iron block. I have welded blocks before. Damaged cast iron engines that were low...

    Laundry list for the m1009

    Questions I have: Are the engine mounts and bell housing the same? Can I use the same radiator? Will the accessories carry over to the 454? I'd like to keep the alternator and hydro-boost. Planning on pulling trans for rebuild at the same time. Is it easier pull engine and trans together or...

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

    Rick, a space between paragraphs would make for an easier read. Just saying. I guess I must get out my composition book and relearn myself. I am too old to learn old things that I forgot and never really served me well. I will post pictures and call it a day until I get schooled up. Must be...

    About my new 1028

    With a lot of work and elbow grease. I can see that CUCV back in mint condition again. First thing to fly is the modifications. Your call. It has potential. Posted on the wrong thread. But I tried to do good.

    New Member - Potential new owner of M1008 Things to check over

    Yea many have had the snot pounded out of them over the years. there is a fine line between hard use and plain old abuse. I find most are abused beyond repair. Fair enough the steering box could be tweaked a bit and need replaced and a new set of 4 leaf springs will set you back $1200. if you...

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

    I was out trying to have some fun or at least get something completed. It is a muddy mess outside. I have a 1 ton skid of wood pellets in the back of the CUCV for my Son. I drove in to the city and delivered it. I thought people were going to break their necks looking at the snow on the hood. I...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Hey. Look what I spotted a rare Swedish CUCV variant. WOW. They are a very rare CUCV. I think only one exists live in captivity. I happen to be the owner of this rare breed. It once only flourished in the Northern European area. I found this rare specimen grazing at the local military base and...

    About my new 1028

    :DOf course you can drop bolts. You could throw them down the intake holes if you like. That is common knowledge. Just posting it like it is a common occurrence is like saying don't forget to latch the hood before driving. It goes along with the job. And the line is on the timing cover NOT the...

    Another snow event in south central Pennsylvania. Soon the sun will shine and the birds will sing and then the CUCV building can begin. Have a Great Weekend. Spring is coming soon to a neighborhood near you. Enjoy the weather you have. It is only temporary.

    About my new 1028

    Oh Boy!!! Here we go again. Yes don't do it in the pouring rain while the hood is off or while consuming large amounts of alcohol or drugs. Make sure not to leave any tools under the hood when completed. Torque all bolts to proper torque and check for loose and missing parts. The list goes on...
