OK. Getting back to my statement about the friction between the head lamp buckets and the core support. When the trucks were new there was white lithium grease on the core support at the 3 raised contact pads that are designed and formed into the support. The headlamp buckets were smooth and...

Most times the adjusters are not the issue. It is the rusty coarse radiator support and headlamp buckets. The springs fit in the corner of the buckets, I advise against LMC replacement buckets they will not fit.

I would want to look at one and make sure it has 1 piece metal/ tin backing. It looks good. I paid $600. for an unbroken OEM one a few years back. I only need 2 more to retire. Thank you.

Yea my plywood and board homemade holder complete with ratchet strap works great on my Snap-On floor jack. I feared asking the Snap-On man the cost of a transmission jack. and that was in 1990. Most times I was in the dirt and just pressed the transmission back up in place. I can't do that...

When I worked at the GM dealer back in the day, we were the PA state vehicle supplier for many of the state and municipal vehicles along with PA turnpike, PA lottery vehicles and countless police state and local. Back then the state highway was using the C/K 30 vehicles with the 6.2 diesel. We...

Question about a quality dash pad. Does anyone know of a good quality replacement dash pad for the CUCV? I have used the Brother's brand and have been disappointed. The OEM was a 1-piece tin underlayment and had the vinyl formed over the single piece. All the replacements I have used and seen...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucvrus-repair-projects.192437/page-17#lg=post-2384058&slide=7 Check this out. I have eliminated the overheated lighting fuse with an inline fuse. This power leg also services the brake lights so I added 2 inline fuses. Simple enough. The inline is quickest...

I have not rebuilt a wiring harness or fuse box. I have however cut out the over heated terminals and replaced that circuit with a weather resistant in line fuse holder. Good Luck.

I have installed over 100 flex-plates on CUCV's. New used and questionable. I never set one down and checked if it was flat. I looked at the teeth and made sure I seen no stress cracks in the steel inner surface. The unevenness will go away once it is secured in place by the 6 crank shaft bolts...

Are you sure that is not the brake lights that are on. I think that would make more sense. That is an adjustment of the brake light switch or it is missing the plate to shut them off and activate them. I think you can do a better job with the wiring for the license plate light. Them 3M scotch...

That plug is the fuel pump wiring that is used on the M1010 rear heater. Also used on the cargo bed heater that is part of the arctic kit. The green wire runs to the front right turn. I am not 100% sure but I think so. Good Luck.

Very NICE.

I just wanted to put this out there for you. I have a CUCV plow truck that has been pushing snow and dragging a spreader for the past 25 years. It is in rough condition and just had a $2000. transmission overhaul and keeps on plowing and spreading away. But the electrical system was a nightmare...

I don't think the HMMWV pan will correctly fit on a CUCV. I have transplanted a few HMMWV engines into CUCV's and always removed the oil pan and replaced it with a CUCV oil pan. I may be wrong but if it does fit I knew it didn't belong there and I didn't want to take a chance of the axle tagging...

If you really need one I have one an OEM used. Still many years of use. $50. plus shipping. Just putting that out there for you.

Things are getting tough all over.

After thinking this over I think the 3 bolt torque converters are shorter nuts welded in place. It would make sense because it would pull the flex plate down harder against the torte converter and cause the wobble. The 6 bolt torque converter would have nuts that are just a bit taller and seat...

I agree. If you have a 6 bolt flexplate you need a 6 bolt torque converter. I don't see how the 6 bolt flexplate would ever be seated properly on a 3 bolt torque converter. I wish you would have mentioned this earlier. I would say the starter is fine but I only ever seen 2 of them HD cast steel...

The new torque converter bolts have lock tight designed into the threads of the bolts. It is blue, yellow, or red. I use some blue lock tight if I am going to reuse the bolts again. Someone has put the incorrect torque converter in your M1009. I never encountered a diesel with a 3 bolt...

A tree limb works if the job has to be done. 4 friends and a 6 pack do wonders at times. Set a goal to have the bed ready to remove and when the helpers will be there. That day remove the bed. You will need a case to keep them hanging out till the job is done. But back in the day I bought lots...
