    M-1009 heater hoses and thermostat

    I see what you did with them. Mine are still under the battery tray. I will reroute when I replace with the new radiator.

    M-1009 heater hoses and thermostat

    Does that mean the heater hoses are different sizes? Mine are old and caked with dirt but they look to be the same size.

    Broken throttle cable, 84 M1008.

    I had/have same prob. Throttle cable frayed and stuck the throttle open. Tried three different cables and all are too short. I have not figured out how to adjust for the shorter cable and drive it with the higher idle. I also dropped the round clip every time. A flashlight and my wife's small...

    m1009 spots

    I get the same thing...but only on longer drives. I am not 100% sure what it is but I do know I have a small T-case leak.

    Body (Cap) Side Window Rubber Seal - M1009

    All the windows in my M1009 leak...including the side topper glass. I recently went to a glass shop (in Miami) and they told me they would not guarantee aftermarket window seals for a truck that old. What they WOULD guarantee was to carefully remove the strip or lacing in the middle of the...

    What are those things

    I bypassed the noise filters on my wiper motor and re-grounded the motor with new wire to bare metal. MUCH faster. I also replaced all the washer hoses and cleaned the reservoir of 25 years of sludge/gunk/slime. System works great now...even for Miami rains!

    M1009 side windows

    I agree with you guys...I have solid rear windows and would gladly drive to GA for sliders! It is hot as Hades here in Miami and with no AC or headliner I could use all the airflow I can get (and even that can't be called "cool")! The solid windows are a nice look but not practical for a daily...

    Physical size of fuel tanks 16 vs. 20 gallon

    My M1009 is the same. Fuel gauge gets to "E" and I can get 16-17 gallons in it. Probably safer like that, although I always wished I could "adjust" the gauge to the left a bit.

    Do I really want a M1009? (MPG)

    It has been my experience, both personal and on this board, that most people do NOT buy CUCVs because of their fuel economy. I had wanted an M1009 Blazer for years and when I had the opportunity to buy one I did. I knew it would be a labor of love. I knew that a 25 year old truck would cost me...

    My M1009

    Congrats! Looks like a good one...**** it's got a brushguard, shackles and hangars, bridgeplate, windshield wipers and a....solargizer? That's all more than mine had when I got it!

    Steam Cleaning Engine compartment

    Just did a car wash pressure wash of my M1009 engine/engine bay last week. Left the engine running and took care not to direct spray the air cleaner or alternators. Worked like a champ and cleaned up nice.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    allenhill - that is BAD @$$! the obvious question would be...where did you get that!?! But I have a feeling Napa don't stock those. More details would be nice, however!

    Sea Foam?

    I use a quart of cheap 2 cycle TWC oil and Diesel Kleen for about 20 gallons on every fill up. Truck runs smoother, MUCH quieter and I get a little better fuel economy. I subscribe to the "ATF is not meant to be burned and 2 cycle oil is", philosophy. May give Sea Foam a try too.

    circuit board

    I Google'd the part number painted on that thing and it came up as a Low Coolant Module. Just winging it here without doing any real searches...

    Power Steering Lines recommendation...
