I'm looking at ways to provide a little protection from small-arms fire for my M1009...I doubt the glass can ever be upgraded so perhaps this is a waste of time, but something (1/8" plate? kevlar mat?) inside the doors would be a start. Any ideas? Also, some run-flat tires would be handy, just...

Getting rid of the backseat from my 86 M1009. It's in good shape, no rips. Anyone who wants to come pick it up in Spencer NY 14883 or pay shipping on it can have it for free. It weighs about fifty pounds, could send by UPS when folded up. PM me if interested.

After looking at the pictures posted by 3Dubs, I'm planning on installing a DSG stud girdle in my 86 M1009, and changing the motor mounts and rear main seal at the same time. Since I have to remove the oil pump anyway, I was thinking of upgrading to one of these: 6-5liter.com - Replacement 6.5...

I've read alot about CUCV vacuum-related shifting problems in this forum, so here's a free fix that worked for me: First, I unplugged the hose at the vac. regulator valve (on the side of the IP) and held my finger over it with the engine running to verify the pump was working. It was, so then I...

Just doing some research on what it means for an injection pump to have the spec "1.2 cSt." Apparently "cSt" refers to the viscosity of the fuel, with higher numbers being more viscous. These pumps are listed on several reman sites as "arctic", and its an expensive option: about $300 bucks more...

Poking around under the dash on my 86 M1009 (installing the Doghead starter relay conversion -- thanks Doghead!), I've found two circuit boards in plastic boxes: a small one near the starter relay, which I think is the glowplug controller, and a larger one, a little bigger than a deck of cards...

So far every piece of rubber I've looked at on my 86 M1009 has been toast. So no big surprise when I found that the (4) rubber bushings that support the radiator were falling apart. The surprise came later when the NAPA guy just laughed at me and the Chevy dealer said they were no longer...

So I'm installing a flat plate style engine oil cooler on my 86 M1009, to bypass the leaky aluminum original lines and take some load off the cooling system. But now I'm wondering: is this something that should be run in series, like a transmission cooler? Also, I have an oil cooler thermostat...

After changing the leaky engine oil cooler lines on my '86 M1009, I've decided to redo the rest of the system with a flate-plate oil cooler mounted in front of the radiator. Hoping this will be more efficient than cooling the oil inside the 200deg radiator, and also take some of the load off...

I'm looking for a place to install a thermocouple for a temp gauge (murphy switch) in my '85 M1009. Both the ports on the cylinder heads seem to be occupied. Is there any other place to get into the coolant, other than T-ing into a heater hose with a pipe fitting?

So I've owned my M1009 for a couple months now, and just noticed that the crank pulley has a definite wobble in it. The engine runs great, with no vibration, so I'm guessing this has to be just a bent pulley (right?!?) but it's wearing out the belts. Anyone got a crank pulley they'd like to...
