Sorry to hear about the damage. Advice so far is spot on. If you've done a VW roof, then the Chevy should pose no issues as long as you take your time. Very interested to see your progress. Wishing you the best of luck with the repair. BTW, where did you get that console? Does it work well...

While it may not cover everything, I would recommend following the PMCS in the -10. Having said that, I recently recovered 2 trucks. Driving one almost 500 miles and the other over 700 miles. One was missing 3 of the 6 transmission mount bolts. These are fairly rugged trucks. If you are...

May I recommend you inquire of professional 4x4 shops. ORD is one that comes to mind. They will be in a solid position to speak to what works and what doesn't. What are the weaknesses of your proposed combination, etc. You can also peruse their catalogs to see if they have any products that...

My M1008A1 came with only 3 transmission mounting bolts. Two were loose. No idea how long it was run in this fashion, and I put almost 700 miles on it this way before discovering it. So, chances are you will be just fine with a bolt/washer combination. Having said that, you asked for...

27SI Alternator Manual :ditto: I've attached the manual for the stock CUCV alternator for most variants. Gen light issues (flicker at low RPM) may be indicative of a shorted stator. See page 7 of the attached manual. Most shops don't replace the stator or rotor in a typical rebuild. A lot...

Nice sound ... Didn't think a 6.2 could sound like that. As far as the visual soot on camera vs by eye, your camera will register far deeper into the IR spectrum than the human eye can. If you ever want to prove it, just record someone pushing the buttons on an IR remote control. Probably...

This is not an endorsement or recommendation for a particular product, just an example of what can be had for small financial outlay. Electric Impact Wrench - 1/2" There really is no substitution for a decent impact wrench when working on vehicles, especially those that are more than 25 years...

Sorry to hear that you are having difficulty communicating. I placed an order about two weeks ago, and as things happen, there was a small error in the inventory I received (short one kit). I emailed John at the CUCVGuy email and he responded very promptly. I had the missing parts within 2...

Electrical System Repairs Replaced the Gen 2 and Voltmeter relays with the 80 amp units from CUCV electric on both my M1009 and M1008A1. The M1009 was behaving well before the swap. But, the M1008A1 Gen 2 light was low flicker at idle. Relay fixed this issue (although I am going to rebuild...

Part number please ... Hi Joe, Do you happen to know the NAPA part number you used? I'm sure the gray wire issue will continue to occur. Thanks ...

Looks great. Looks like an upgrade I'll take on in the near future. Are those bucket seats in the rear? And, where did you get the green seat upholstery? Really nice body work. It's fun and addicting (unless you have to make a living off it, I guess). My father, the tool and die maker...

Just bought two dual alt rebuild kits from CUCV Electric, plus 4 replacement relays. Kits are top notch. Had a minor issue with missing inventory. Emailed John, and he jumped on it and sent missing parts expedited, at my door as fast as possible. Great service. FYI.

I would change it. Fluids oxidize over time. Plus, changing it will provide you a solid baseline for maintenance intervals going forward. Based on my experience, a burnt smell indicates something is wrong in the tranny, assuming the "rotten smell" you referred to is the classic burnt ATF...

How did that second pump work out? Do you have many miles/hours on it yet? Thx

Excellent work Keith_J

Could not agree more. If your CUCV is an investment to you, you will want to ensure everything is running as it is supposed to. The simplicity of these trucks is part of their appeal. But, I'd rather have a gauge tell me something is awry in enough time to avoid major potential damage. +1...

Just replaced on both my trucks. Fel-Pro 60555 as stated above worked great.

Correct, page #170 of the -34P lists the part number as MS90728-63. Six are required. I often will use a site like WBParts - Aircraft parts, military parts, NSN, National Stock Numbers, avionics, connectors, Aircraft parts and components to look up part details. Enter the part number, and you...

Sorry to hear about your additional woes. My guess is a stuck solenoid on the starter itself. But as always with electrical issues, go methodically. Short cuts lead to short circuits aua. An interesting read on circuit protection here: http://www.autoshop101.com/forms/hweb1.pdf

Replaced tie rod ends and complete center link on my M1009 tonight. Went from almost 12" of free play to the "normal" Chevy truck 2" +/-. Amazing change in handling. A lot more fun to drive. I used the Raybestos Professional Grade parts from RockAuto. After doing some research, learned that...
