    Adding aux gauges to an M1009

    While we are digging up the dead. I wanted to point out I was told that the transmission fluid temperature is best to know at the pan. That is the current temperature of the fluid that the transmission is ingesting at that moment. Made sense to me. I never went ahead and installed a gauge there...

    CUCV Snow Plow Trucks and Spreaders

    No that is the results of hard thrashings and corrosion. 1 died a terrible death when a knit wit ran off the road and broke everything underneath. Axles, transmission, transfer case, frame. Scrap. The other 2 rusted beyond repair. Axles, frame, body. They have all been recycled to prevent global...

    cucv rear plate tag light

    In Pennsylvania it is required to have a light on the license plate. I have my Pennsylvania vehicle inspection license and I won't pass a vehicle with out one. And really I guess I could push the issue. But I don't need the down time or the hassle of a roadside debate with Deputy Dog. Every town...

    M1028 metal shards in front diff, supposed to drive cross country in 4 days!

    And unless you are going to have the front hubs locked while going cross country you will not even turn the front axle gears. Good Luck. If it were mine I would have it looked at by a professional and NOT risk doing further damage. Something is a miss inside. I do not have the tools to set up...

    rear wheel leak...

    :DNever seize isn't going to stop the hex head from rotting off the bolt. And yes the OEM 5/16' bolts are grade 5 with a 3/8" hex head. The replacement ones should be grade 5 and will have a 1/2" hex head. Unless you want to look for Genuine GM wheel cylinders bolts. Good Luck...

    rear wheel leak...

    Get a strong pencil magnet. Remove the lock bolt and never use it over again. Remove the center pin and push the axle in towards the center slightly. Use the magnet to grab that steel C clip. It is easier then you think. Pull the axle and do the same on the other side. Be sure to replace the...

    speedo cable question

    That works. But you can disassemble and reassemble the instrument cluster thru the front side without removing the brittle blue/green plastic cluster housing. Good Luck. I hope that helps a bit.

    Also check all your spring bushings. They are probably steel on steel back at the front shackles.

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    I am hoping this is the last week I have to drive a CUCV as my daily driver. I hate it. I was 40 miles from home when the heater core went out. Froze on the way home at night with the windows fogged up. Today I went for coffee and the speedometer was wrapped around down at the bottom and sounded...

    Shocks for my m1009

    And all along I thought you would have bought Bilstein's. And the ones with the reservoir are the best. Nothing but the best. Have a Great Day.

    speedo cable question

    Instrument panel side. Easier with the speedometer head removed. But can be done from under the cluster.

    How to remove brake drums? No adjuster slot?

    Do tell how I would have stopped without it? Parking brake/Emergency brake. Both the same and people get the meaning. I did not misuse the Parking Brake/ Emergency Brake. I used it in an emergency situation and it stopped me. Throwing it in park would have been a massive fail. I don't want to...
