I just called my Chevy dealer and they say that they can not price the cap and since they can not price it they can not order it. The last time that I priced it was about 4 years ago but stupid me did not go ahead and purchase tow or three. auaaua I say "B.S." they are still produced by a GM...

There is an AC Delco number for air filter with foam pre-filter and one for without pre-filter. It helps to catch some of the finer dust but most civy units do not have it. Remember that Uncle Same want fleet conformity amongst their trucks so they want one number to list in the part TMs. They...

Wrapping a chain through the lunette ring to make it inaffective for hooking to a pintle hook is good but they could always drag it a little ways or just damage it badly by hooking to the safety chains. I would also wrap a chain through one wheel and go to the frame with it. A full or partially...

If you are getting close to 60 days send them an e-mail with Attn: Management in the subject line. Tell them that you want the "sale to stand as is" and do not want it to be cancelled. This will buy you some time but I'n not sure how much. A co-worker of mine is going on 65 days since the EUC...

Wolf, Es war ein Freitag LKW. Jeder wollte damals für das Wochenende nach Hause bekommen! jimm1009 (It was a Friday truck. Everyone was wanting to get home for the weekend!)

Ya CUCV's don't rust!:roll: Seriously though, the military did require GM to galvanize the insides of the panels on the trucks. I cut out a small part of the vertical panel in cargo area to do a repair on the outer skin and behold, galvanized interior. Did not STOP rust but sure must have...

Here are the valves associated with the tranny control. See PDF attachments. Right-click and "open in new window" jimm1009

I don't mind saying that I have marginal experience in the M1009. I purchased my M1009 from us the taxpayers (uncle sam) in late 1995 when it was 11 model years old. It had 35,000 miles on it and it now has 240,000 miles on it and 99.5% of those miles are me driving it every day to work and...

:ditto:on that. You have to remember that the military fuel cap is made for a much larger opening. Go to NAPA or Autozone or somewhere similar and ask to look at a cap for a Suburban or Jimmmy or Blazer with diesel engine and try to fit it to your filler neck. Sorry, but those caps will be a...

I read the CFR and I hate to be the bad guy but that reads as there is no help there for MVers. This simply states that there are no standards for vehicles built for US Military except the contract that produces said vehicles. To me this hurts because the vehicles meet no DOT requirments /...

It is actually in the VIN. The first digit is "1" which means it was made for US Highways. 1= USA. jimm1009 I just called the toll free number for GM; 800-222-1020 They gave me two other numbers that I could call that specialized in vehicle specs. 1st; 905-440-7697 / 2nd; 905-440-7689...

If you look at the door or cover for the fuel filler area you will see an indentation where it appears that there could be an optional door lock installed. I have never searchd for this item but if this was a civilian option this could be a little more suttle (visible) but still effective if you...

You will have to do away with with the military filler neck and find one for a civilian diesel Blazer or Jimmy as the military neck is oversized for a jet fuel nozzle and there are no military locking fuel caps. Other option would be to install a lock on the fuel cap access door tha is similar...

The civilian Chevy Blazer did have an optional larger tank but the military skid plate won't fit it and I don't remember the size difference. If you are trying to tow your M1009 then you have the frame extensions in place and all you have to do is hook a tow bar to those extensions using 1 inch...

Remember that the tongue is like a wagon tongue in that it articulate up and down. A civilian tow dolly has a non-articulating tongue like a trailer so you will have to do a little more engineering but the idea is sound. jimm1009

I am assuming that the mud guard was removed for better photos. If not I would put a bolt in the forward hole to at least hold the mounting bracket that wraps around the master cylinder. Lots of vibration on these wonderful machines to make things come loose. Good luck with the new switch...

Also fuel contamination. Kerosene and JP-8 (Actually all jet fuels) hold water for a while but if you let it sit undisturbed for 24 hours it will settle out and you can sump it out the bottom. If it came from Uncle Sam like that or if it came from your last load or two of fuel that happens. On...

Saturn Surplus has the upgrade switch as a kit which has the other misc. parts needed in order to switch from the old style fluid pressure switch to the new style air switch. The Saturn kit p/n is 12255668 and lists for $38.50 on their web site. I called them this AM (Monday) and they said that...

And it goes without saying if you are married or other wise attached, you have to plan for her reactions too. Notice! I put an "s" after reaction meaning "Way More Than One" to ensue. lf you don't believe me then just read some of the other recent threads on other owners situations regarding...

You have to had a title in your name in order to get a duplicate. Is this one that was titled in your name and then lost or destroyed? If it is then it will be no problem and even easier if you have a photo copy of the old original. jimm1009
