Need to get some parts for my 86 M1009....Rear brake shoes, apparently there are 2 different sizes. Anyone know what the dimensions are? I also need a steering box, is there anything different about this CUCV item compared to a civvy?

For a few months now on my 86 M1009 I've noticed a whirring type sound, particularly up hill in second, coming from the tranny, which wasn't present before. Now it seems that its toast, serious driveability issues to say the least. I barely made it home today. It started shifting from second...

On my 86 M1009, all of a sudden my left turn signal doesn't flash. Replaced bulbs, still nothing. Looks like there is only one flasher for both sides and my right works fine. When I put my park lights on, the rear left is lit up but not my side marker and my turn signal-running light has a faint...

Recently my M1009 motor has run a little rough for a 5-10 seconds on a cold morning start, made me wonder if one or two plugs have failed. Had the AC60's in for a few years, no problems. Seemed to remember a testing method was to use a test light connected to battery positive and place tip on...

Changed the column on my 86 M1009, now I have no reverse or backup lights. Was told its the switch on bottom upper side of column that doubles as neutral switch. Is this correct? How would I go about adjusting this? Anyone had this experience?

So, after obtaining another resistor for my failed voltmeter, checked the resistance ,they both are good. Checked voltmeter on battery,reads voltage. As everything appears to work, where does the wiring connect to the 24 volt system?, l assume thats the last thing that it could be.

Zo, decided to replace the steering column in my 86 M1009 with a tilt column. Problem is the spring that holds the gearshift lever is broken, so it kind of flops around. Quite annoying as I have to use 2 hands to turn the key. Found spring in stock at local dealer.I can take out the pin, remove...

All of a sudden my kignition cylinder no longer turns far enough to engage the starter. Had to jump starter terminals to get home. I understand there is a rod that passes through steering column and engages ignition switch. I can hear it move, is the ignition switch the white plastic unit on top...

Once again the Gen 1 light on my M1009 is not coming on. Had it rebuilt in January, is this a regulator replacement issue?, I'm told its a common occurence.If so, is there a heavy duty regulator for the 100 AMP ALT? Heres an update: went to the shop that rebuilt alt, they did some tests and...

Few days ago my Gen 1 light didn't come on when I turn the ignition on. Bulb is OK ,occasionally got a faint flicker at night. Kept driving for a couple of days until my stereo died. Front battery was draining, drivers side alternator was hot so pulled it and had it rebuilt. Put it back...

The windshield washer pump on my M1009 got stuck in the on position.Pulled a set of wires to stop it, broke connection to copper winding inside, soldered it,now nothing happens.Anyone have any links to a troubleshooting manual or other info on how to fix this??

Recently started having this happen,usually first thing in morning.Turn key to start, doesn't engage ring gear, just makes whirring sound, next try starts normal. Restarts normal rest of day. Today no engagement after several attempts, get out give starter a good knock with tire iron and she...

Thought i would throw this out there,in case someone has experienced this...Few days ago my M1009 daily driver develops this intermittent metallic clanking sound from underneath the truck.Its not the motor,comes on as you start moving,,ie,under load,then goes away..let off the throttle and it...

Hey,whats the deal when voltmeter stops working.Is it just a replacement issue or can something else be done about it?

M1009 owners,how does your tranny shift?..mine has always shifted rather high,rpm wise.I understood this to be normal,still I find myself letting off the accellerator pedal at 30 and 60 kmh so vacuum will be higher allowing it to shift sooner.On the tranny there is a vacuum line that goes to a...

Someone suggested this method to bleed air out of injectors,is this safe?..I don't want to blow a head off.Do you still glow the plugs?..how much do you spray in?..Would I still need to crack a few injectors?..it's my understanding that they can't pass air.
