    The starter is the weak link!

    I posted a complaint about my M1009 about a month ago that the starter had gone bad for the third time. Had it towed to a local GM/Buick dealer who installed yet another starter on my truck. Ran perfectly until this past week when l turned the ignition key, and all that happened was that the...

    Anyone know why?

    Thanks to all that answered my question, but in the end, it was another starter gone bad. Got a new one installed this morning with no problems to report. Tom Lovinggood

    Anyone know why?

    Drove my ' 86 CUCV Blazer most of the day around town. Ran like a charm. Pulled in front of my house to get something, and went back out to leave again, and the Blazer wouldn't start. Just made the familiar clicking noise of a starter gone bad. This will be 4th starter that l have had to...

    CUCV Arctic Grille Front

    Don't think it is an original GM product, but, it has been constructed to Military specs. It is new in the box. Does not usually get cold enough here for me to use it. That is why l am selling it.

    CUCV Arctic Grille Front

    I still have the winter grill cover--new in box. I want $125.00 plus $35 for shipping. It also has the four spring clips to secure the lower part to the frame.

    Reving problem

    Cucvrus--the IP pump I had replaced this past summer was a re -man so, that is totally possible that the part is bad.

    Reving problem

    Hello--I own an '86 M1009 in excellent condition with 55K. Last summer, I had a new IP installed and it ran perfect up until about a month ago. The problem I am now having is that for reasons unknown, the idle speed on the engine will suddenly increase, then go back to normal idle. Then, the...

    M1009 Rebuilt IP problems

    I am having a similar problem, but, not cable related. Had a rebuilt IP installed over the summer, and my M1009 seemed to run ok other than than a slightly fast idle. This morning, the idle just got faster and faster, then, the engine shut off completely, and would not re-start. Am having it...

    Smoky start up

    Hello--I have a '86 M1009. After having a new injector pump installed last month, my Blazer runs great now--but, for some strange reason, I am getting a of smoke on start-up--more than before the pump had to be replace. Does anyone have any thoughts about this? Is there an additive I can add...

    Idle adjustment

    Just got my M1009 back today. Apparently, the idle needed some fine tuning, and the shop ran some fuel injector cleaner through it. It seems to run well now with the new injector pump installed. Many thanks to all that offered help. However, the "Wait" light is in- op. Maybe a fuse??

    Idle adjustment

    Thanks to all in helping with the no-start situation. Yes, I did look at the TM's, but, it never hurts to get the opinion of others who are more experienced with these types of problems. After adjusting the idle screw only slightly, my CUCV still would not start, so I had it towed back to the...

    Idle adjustment

    I just had a brand new injector pump installed on my M1009. I drove it home today, and the vehicle has never ran better, or smoother. But, when l would pull up to a stop, the motor would die. I thought if it were an easy adjustment to make to raise the idle speed, l would try that. If not, l...

    Been sitting, now won't start

    Hello--'68 CUCV Blazer in great shape. Has been sitting for three months. I went to start it this morning. Plenty of juice to turn motor over. Ran for about 15 seconds, then died, and would not start after that, even though the engine turned over. Have almost a full tank of gas. I am...

    Un-deleting my CDR (Valve found thanks SteelSoldiers) looking for 1" Neoprene Tubing

    Zen--I was not aware of any problems with my existing CDR valve, but it was very dirty and covered with soot. Rather than trying to clean it, I thought it might be best to replace it, as it appears to be a very easy swap.

    Un-deleting my CDR (Valve found thanks SteelSoldiers) looking for 1" Neoprene Tubing

    Zen--I have a new CDR vlave that I purchased off ebay. I am awaiting to install it, but just did not know what it was for, and if or when it needed to be replaced. Tom Lovinggood
