Dura plate is a steel panel that has polyethylene between the 2 sheets. It is very useful and versatile. Just Google Wabash Duraplate. They manufacture it and that is the company I work for.

I always start with a strip of 1" and move up from there to the 2". I prefer to get precise in the corners and edges with the 1". A little hard to be accurate and precise with 2" tape. I like the plastic mask because it comes in 99" wide and is very handy when it comes to covering large open...

I thought 2 little boxes. One on the diagnosis wiring and one for the low coolant sensor. What do I know. I could be wrong. But the one with the glow plug card should be above the brake pedal bracket or if stock mounted to the brake pedal support upside down on the left side. Have fun getting it...

The GM one has been discontinued for 10+ years. PN 7845127. This the dust boot used on the second design shaft. It is not really needed. If you take the drive shaft off annually and clean and grease the splines all will be good. I had a limited supply of Genuine GM boots and used them on...

Good thing I didn't go out with the young pumpkin heads last night for a beer. Their Wives were here looking for them at 12:45 AM. They said I was driving and figured they could get me involved. Needless to say I stayed home. No dram needed for this old man. And managed to get the M1009 all...

I use the Permatex Right Stuff on just about everything. I buy it in a standard caulk tube. I had several of the aerosol cans fail and they are not cheap. I just let a curly on the caulk tip and break it off each time. Good Luck.

The windshield pinch weld is all ready to get primed, sealed and painted. You ever go to tape up anything and the tape fails to adhere. This flat paint is bad for that. Add 30 years of dirt and dust and it will not stick. Above are the dusty dirty A pillar and dash area before I washed them and...

During the week the Wife said hey will you paint a door for me. I thought she meant she wanted to help me get some CUCV doors painted. Stupid me. I painted a door for her. It was not the door I had in mind but non the less a door. Color was her choice. It looks great now back on the house. Best...

I do not think it has a relay. I think it is a direct wire out to the grille. I am open for correction.

After 5 inches of rain in 2 hours we had 4 ft of water in our chassis lot over near the storm drains. We had a weed whacker guy whacking weeds and when the rain started heavily it washed the grass and weeds over the storm grates and caused a lot of water back up. We used a CUCV plow truck and a...

I doubt the starter and flex-plate are in good shape. What do you think is grinding? If it done it for you it done it for someone else for 6 months before they decided it won't go no more and parked it. Easy thing is you can change the flex-plate $65. and starter $150 +/- with out removing the...

;-) Not the first time I looked at pictures either. I think you have head gaskets confused with valve cover gaskets.;-) Back at you. Unless I have been doing it wrong all these years. Have a Great Day. Its your truck. I was reading the story and examining the pictures. The pictures tell me...

I agree the exterior of the motor looks great but it could be a disaster inside. Also it could NOT be. Now is the time to spend the extra time effort and $$ to do the job right. OR NOT. I have been here at this point many times. It is much easier to change all the gaskets and seals on the floor...

Minor setback. Failure on my part. I had some issues with rain and humidity and in a rush to achieve a coat of paint on my 11 rims I had sand blasted I mixed the wrong hardener with my sealer and had a no dry condition. I tried to correct it and applied another coat of correct mixed sealer and...

Last 2 days were not very progressive. I did travel and pick up the rebuilt transmission. It is original to the M1009. It has the last 8 of the VIN stamped in from the factory. I never looked at the engine to see if it has the correct date code in the block. I assume it does I had it since 3300...

If you were closer I would have left you borrow my CUCV tow bar. All is well. The dolly will get the job done just fine. Drive safe and easy. No racing. Good Luck.

I have no idea. Electronically challenged at times. Hope it is ok. If not I will delete it.

When you have the steering wheel off to change the lock cylinder get the lock pin moving freely. It will make everything work better as afar as the key and ignition switch goes. I have a car with no key. It is great. Push the button and go. Have a Great Day.

It's gives it the look I desire. I had them on several CUCV's M1009's and an M1028. They are the look and traction I needed. I really like the Duratrack also. But I want the MTR. I was thinking about Firestone Destination MT also. Reminds me it is time to buy a set of tires for my project. Have...
