    Fill drilled holes in m1009 roof

    Lets see a picture of the area you are trying to repair. I may be able to share an idea for repair.

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    You put the glazing putty over the area that you put the filler on. It is even smoother and hinds some of the sanding scratches. And then finally the sandable primer should hide all of them scraches if properly applied and sanded. But all the steps must be done correctly or you will still be...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Family night tonight. No work will get done. All is well. Tomorrow I will proceed to make progress. Over the weekend I have a few ideas to get my undercoating task started and completed by mid week. No rush job here. Easy does it. It will get done in good time. I do tend to like things as...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    spell check Much more of the same old boring edge sanding and looking over the entire main structure inch by inch to make sure no loose rough edges. Hand sanding with 220 and getting ready to seal and paint all the edges and exterior firewall. The doors are already for interior/edge painting...

    M1009 hydroboost replacement

    Me I like warranted parts. I never had a issues with Autozone/NAPA? Mom and Pops auto parts. If the parts fit and come with a warranty I buy them. NOS parts not so quick on things with seals. Quick story. I had a case of spigots the frost free type with the long stem and seat on the valves. I...

    Correct Belts for M1008 and M1009

    Take a socket get it partially started on the alternator pulley and turn the alternator nut/pulley clock wise and it will slip right on. Adjust from there and all will be well. No hidden bolts on Gen 1 or Gen 2. Unless I have been doing it wrong since 1983. Possible.

    Can Anyone Shed Light on Mystery Bolts?

    I removed the one pictured from a 1990 GMC Jimmy with a 350EFI / 700R combo. The bolt holes are threaded in the NP 208 transfer case. I think M16 metric thread.

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

    I beg to differ on the towing capability of the M1009. I used my Crown of Thorns M1009 for 20 years the hard way. I tore down a house with an M1009. It never quit. I sold it a few months ago. That is a very capable vehicle if care and common sense are applied when towing is taking place. And...

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

    I think that is the power steering pivot adjustment nut you have pictured. And what about that bolt hole in the water pump. Not sure if that is normal. I would have to look. But if that was vibrating the back side of that bracket will have a hex worn into it. I would remove the bracket and fix...

    Can Anyone Shed Light on Mystery Bolts?

    Oh NO. Not the rod question again. I installed a few from the transfer case to the engine block. I liked them. I used the vehicles hard off road.

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Tonight was the night. I primed the areas on the doors and the body structure that had body work done to it. That is going to need sanded and then I want to seal the edges and edge paint everything so I can store it and get the frame and chassis back together. Work tomorrow and the rain should...

    M1008 alternator

    I thought it went by color. What color is the wire/link. Orange? That comes to mind. I hope that helps. There is Blue at other places. I buy the replacement links from the HELP rack and install them with heat shrink butt connectors. Good Luck.

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    With any Luck at all I will get the super structure primed and pushed back in the corner over the weekend. I need to get the frame reassembled. I have 4 stock steel wheels and tires from my 2014 Silverado 1500 I am trading in. They are 17 inch wheels. They will work to get the chassis assembled...

    Guess I've got a dead cylinder. Now what?

    Is it spitting thru the intake? First thing I would do is remove the intake. That will give you a bird eye view of the intake valve. The exhaust manifold should be a breeze if the engine was rebuilt 2 years ago. I take original ones apart with hand tools and good sockets. That can be accessed...

    Glow plug card

    I have never seen wiring like that on a glow plug solenoid. How does the relay get power? Does that blue wire run to the wait light in the dash? What about the hot wire to the top of the solenoid? And has this been converted to 12 volt? Hot Rodding and modification may be able to assist. Good...
