    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Very hot and humid so I slacked a bit. The left side is complete and ready for primer. And then onto the right side rocker is all that is needed over there. Cut the old one off and I am NOT happy with the fit of a rocker over. So I am getting a full rocker. I bought some parts from someone a few...

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

    Never really looked there I guess, but I found rust on the top/right side of the windshield. This really bothers me! I hope it won't be too bad... I think you are going to have some repair work there. But I would much rather find it now then after you reassemble the truck. I always remove all...

    replacement 6.2

    Yea that would be a great way to put it in a fix. But not fix any of the current issues he is experiencing. I think he wants a bolt in solution to the engine issue. He seems happy with the 6.2 and just wants to refresh it after 200K. I think so anyway. Simple 2-3 day fix and back on the road.

    Squealing Belt Question

    I will be willing to bet you have the glow plug resistors bypassed. I have also changed the pulleys to solids to help get better belt tension. But getting tight belts right up front and getting them tight right away has helped me a lot. I don't have any numbers that will fit every time. I just...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    I remember this picture from my youth. Blue Oyster Cult album cover. Ship in bottom right corner. Similar shape and position of fly. Just wanted to share. :). Have a Great Day. Stay productive. Time and effort is a terrible thing to waste. Do it right the first time. No hacking.

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    https://www.cjponyparts.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Chevrolet+Blazer+parts+1984 I was googling weather strips and found this place right up the road from my house. I bought Mustang parts from them in the past and see they now sell weather strips for the CUCV line of trucks and all new rubbers...

    Don't you have that engine in and running yet?

    metallic like creak

    I don't know the correct part number for the tool. But if you are in a pinch just use a brass drift punch and get if done. You can achieve the same results without every special tool they make in a lot of cases. I do have the correct socket along with 50 other ones I bought and used once or...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    That is pretty freaky. I caught a fly in the picture flying by. Strange. Maybe it is a poltergeist. Strange. That fly is famous on the world wide web. Imagine that a green fly the star of a . Forget it.

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Well since no one showed up I started with out you. Slow progress but progress. I was very dirty again tonight. I have about 75% of the underside cleaned and blown out. No holes or anything close. I want to get it all clean and do a final wash of the entire under side. I wrestled with the...

    replacement 6.2

    I know from experience that the intake is totally different. Scrap aluminum if you have a CUCV. If your injection pump is good and you know it use yours. The oil pump pick up I am NOT sure is different but just get a new oil pump and use yours. The water coolant cross over manifold has only one...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    I spent the last 3 1/2hours with a scratch pad and DX330 wax and grease remover cleaning the under side of my M1009 tub. It gets very clean and gets me very dirty. I did it all by hand and vacuum cleaner to avoid the dirt but that was only a minor deterrent. I cleaned from the front seats...

    '86 CUCV 1009 -Left rear upper bracket - shock

    It is nothing but a piece of 2 X 2 angle with a little grind and set back. That can be duplicated with a piece of flat bar welded to the original angle. I see no safe easy way to replace this bracket with the body on frame. The fuel tank will need removed and a torcher that is skilled to burn...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Weirdest looking "lawn-mower"........reminds ME of a bicycle! What do I know........too much T.V. I rigged up a team of reel gang mowers to cut the grass. The Grand Son rides the bike and I hitch the mowers to the back. You can't see it in the picture but there is a goose neck hitch on the bike...

    metallic like creak

    You can lube it but that does not mean the grease is getting to all 4 trunions of the U joint. I would tale the hubs apart and visibly inspect the axle joints for freedom of movement. Also inspect the frame where the steering box is mounted on the frame may be cracked or a bolt loose or broken...

    New M1009, stuck starter, replaced with DH relay, won't start

    That same problem is the cause of the starter relay failing and the glow plugs all going bad. Low voltage, High Amperage. I keep batteries fresh and the problems are about extinct. Have a Great Day and I do hope you get that truck started.

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

    How does a thermostat fail? I never had one fail. I am asking because I hear people say they replaced it because it failed. And my experience has been it got hot and they went and replaced the thermostat and it got hot again and they did the same thing. They brought it to me. I tested the...

    Started a motor swap on a 85 M1008, need some electrical advice to get it started

    Hot Rodding and Modification department may be able to help you. Replacing fuses with higher amperage just overloads the wiring on that circuit. Then the entire wire becomes the weak link and melts. Good Luck with your truck.

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

    LMC should have the seals. If not I do. That wire is the brake warning wire that runs to the switch on the proportioning valve. I have seen many unhooked. Not sure why. It must be there to pas Pennsylvania DOT inspection. No brake alterations at all are legal. But with that being said I will be...

    M1009 headlight options?

    Looks are subjective with those lights. They remind me of something a kid in high school would put on his civic. Quote from another members post.
