I am thinking of taking the antenna off of the "M1008" and switching it over to the M1009 and just running one- I admit I think the twin set-up run with rear bases do catch my eye; but I have just one antenna now and I was thinking about placing a base on the drive side rear. Any problems with...

AARRGGHHH! I finally think I have the right part ordered. I think the confusion is the last digit of the part I originally ordered. I don't know if it is my fault or not; but I ordered the "...H1" Instead of the "...H0" shock. Thanks to all of you for your help.aua

Cucvfreek and doc, Follow this thread and you'll see that I ordered the K5 shocks; but they don't fit. The Bilstein catalog (pg 15 Blazer 4WD specs the first part i bought. Replies to this post stated I should buy the K30 spec'd shock. What have you got?

Ended up putting the fronts on- they fit and no probs so far. The ride is more stable side-to-side. Ordered the correct K30 rear Bilsteins. I have to sell the ones I bought for the Civvy model. Anyone?... anyone?

The set I ordered got here last week. I put the front ones on without any issues... The rear ones look funky: First the shock has one built-in bolt instead of a throug-the-eye bolt like the stock. The Bilstein bolt is also larger in diameter. I began to remove the old rear passenger shock; but...

I'll give your suggestion some thought. Per the direction sheet included by Fram: "To eliminate soft shifts or slippage, turn the modulator adjusting screw in a clockwise directions two (2) full turns..." ????? Ed

I have already replaced the rubber on the modulator to VRV- both ends. The two rubber hoses that come from the VRV, and the one that connects the lower VRV to the pump at the top rear of the engine. Now I know any vacuum leak affects driveability somehow; but as far as the transmission shifting...

rnd Sarge, Thanks for the help. The one I have is Fram FM2321 (GREEN stripe). I drove my M1009 on the flat streets tonight after traffic cleared. My shift points are at 21 MPH for 2nd and about 40 for 3rd! The modulator instructions say to turn the screw in 2-4 turns (2 at-a-time) and see if...

Hey congratulations are in order I just made Corporal. Do I still have to work for a living?

Just got back from Home depot. The 1/4"- too small, the 5/16" -too large. M7- like a glove. See, you learn something everyday. I better revise my tool kit to include some metric screwdrivers and funnels. * Yes, I AM new to CUCV forums- thanks for pointing this metric thing out to me.

I am just getting a jump on general maintenance. There is some slipping when I start it up and put it in Drive. It comes along after 2-4 seconds. So I thought I would stat by replacing the rubber lines from modulator to the Injector pump. I replaced all the rubber in this circuit and Cleaned the...

I went to replace the Tansmission modulator in the M1009. The guy at the parts counter said he had Fram parts only; but there was two type: Fram - Transmission Modulator Green Stripe or Blue...

I tried a 1/4"-20... too small- just drops right through the puka.. I don't get the feeling GM would have used metric here in 84. I'll have another look at 5/16-18 or-20. Worse case is they won't be spec if I haVE TO re-tap them.

I finally got a bunch of MFC fuel cans in and a water can as well. I have been trying every screw I have in the garage; but have yet to figure out wat size and thread count fit the water can mount- where the can rack bolt to the floor riser in the Driver rear of the M1009. Anyone successfully...

bulldog_mack13, Good enough for me. Heading out to get some rusoleum now. How do you reduce it?

bulldog_mac13, I was getting ready to commit to your choice of Rustoleum Flat Black. Then I read the attached link: g741.org • View topic - Metal prep, Primer and paint This guy says that the Gillespie does not accept the Rustolem black. What green and brown do you use with Rustoleum Flat Black?

I have been around the web looking for Black to go with the '383' green and brown I am using for a total repaint. I have used the flat black by Krylon; but I don't like it for this job- rather have something with the same apearance over the long haul as the '383'. Rapco has 911 Flat Black... is...

Has anyone painted their M1009 in the new pattern? Does anyone know where I can see one painted in the new pattern?

I am getting the paint together to give my new-to-me M1009 a new Nato camo paint job. I see there are newer patterns to replace the "old" pattern. Is there a photo somewhere that shows the actual vehicle side-by-side. I have seen the line art patterns- I just want to see the real deal before I...

OK, here is the cure I happened upon just last week. No guessing here. I had some pine tar drops and oil from overspray when I lubed up something with WD-40 or White Lithium Grease Spray. The hood looked like ****. I went through all the possible solvents and started with bug and Tar spray...
