you'll have to cut off the rubber next time. Always hope for NO next time. But layering on sealant is creating a rust haven. If you have to layer on the sealant there must be something else wrong to begin with. Fixing the problem when the glass is out would be wiser and for forth coming than...

If you ever pull the heads on the 6.2 you can clearly see the core expansion plugs. I see most are in great shape. I only ever had 1 engine apart that I changed all the core plugs in. But a GM core plug block heater is a good addition. But only if you like pounding the salt into the sheet metal...

I made the trip today. 478 miles round trip. I must say the cab and frame looked much better sitting in the buyers yard then it did in mine. Another one will live because of this sale. I must have had 8 people tell me they wanted that cab and frame. I heard some of the saddest stories about why...

Then you never had a windshield installed at CUCVRUS garage. If I can't pull the gasket and fix the pinch weld. I send it packing.

I would look at the mounting surface. I have had a few that when reinstalled they were sitting in some rusty/dirty areas and not seating properly. So remove it, clean up both surfaces and reinstall with it evenly seated. Give that a try. As far as the wobble make sure it is truly a wobble and...

I went and bought new U bolts. The ones that came with the new springs were not correct. They were for a 1 ton truck. The new 1 ton U bolts were not returnable. Oh well. I started assembly just to get something completed today. I formed new rear axle piping for the brakes. I did it by hand with...

They make a new one from NAPA. Not exact but pretty near as close as you are going to get. I can look up the number in the AM. If you want.

Lets hope they removed the tightner and installed the glass. If they removed the gasket from the pinch weld they would open up a whole can of worms. I have not seen one in he last decade that didn't need to be sanded and repaired a bit before painting and installing the rubber again. Pinch welds...

I also am doing some inventory reduction. Time to move along. I had great plans for this truck. They never materialized. Not like I ever had one this far apart before and put it back together. Just never had a title for this one and sold the axles a few years back. Bought another set and sold...

I have good clean used ones. Or get one from a salvage yard. I just pulled one from a 1991 K5 I scrapped out.

I made a bench out of the fiberglass slats and traded many slats to people. That fiberglass never showed any splintering or slivers and when I cut it I compare it to plastic slats. Very hard. If you have strands of fiberglass showing exposure you have something completely different or you used a...

Drive the M1009 to the parts store. Have tools to change the belts. Get belts that you think are close. Put the belts on and trn the pulleys on the alternator with a wrench if you have to to get the belt on. The tighter the belt with the alternators loose the better. Now tighten the belts squeal...

I have Never seen factory holes in the rocker panels or any CK series trucks. NEVR. What makes you think they are factory? I am open for your replies. Never is corrected if proven. I am an up fitter and we drill a lot of holes cut doors, roofs and entire cabs from trucks.

I had GM literature on these back in the day. I painted a couple of the front bumpers on the trucks and some of the 1999 Tahoe/blazer USAF gasoline models. But I got the parts from the dealer at the time. he supplied them and I painted them. They knew I sprayed CARC and they didn't know how...

5 more years and its a classic. The thread. better you then me in this heat wave. I hope you had ear plugs. I still hear crickets and katydid's from a coast to coast trip 15 years ago.

Seems a GM dealer would be able to get you parts if you supply the full VIN. But 13 years old may make it difficult. Have you tried that approach?

i never seen anything like that on a CUCV. Looks too small to be an exhaust manifold stud. You should have 3 on each side.

Get the fiberglass slats. They are green fiberglass and last forever. I have a pile of the slats I removed from M1008 troop seats when I scrapped a pile of the seat frames. They should be pretty easy to ship. Do you have any measurements and quantities? If interested let me know. These are cut...

Why would someone sell an engine full of water? And did you remove the steel clamp on the oil cooler lines. That is where my plow truck Voodoo M1009 broke off and lost all the oil and locked up the engine. That steel against aluminum reaction. But I have my engine in the dry and exercised every...

Picked up my front axle backing plates from the sand blaster. Easy job that $20. took care of. I can hardly imagine getting these results with sand paper and a wire brush. That's what they used to look like. Have a Great Day. As long as I get just 1 thing done each day. I have a successful day.
