    Got a M1009 with a 6.5 NA

    I think we need a few pictures to tell more. As far as the fuel issue I would suspect that the filter assembly is gone bad When you pulled the filter I'm sure you saw that large round thing? That thing can leak air into the system and cause many issues. Go to Napa or whatever you like best...

    Got a M1009 with a 6.5 NA

    Hello. Welcome the cucv land. So to start I have a couple questions for you. 1: does the truck have the factory square box style filter? 2. Is that tag that says 6.5 on the air cleaner? 3. if you get on top of the engine and look down at the front of the block around the water pump you...

    Help needed to stop me throwing money at my CUCV, Hopping/Vibration

    I get some rattles and hums at idle from the interior of the truck. Usually I just slap the dash and all is good. These trucks do vibrate and rattle a little. They are not Cadillacs. Just saying

    Will coolant in the combustion chamber cause fuel and oil to not burn on start up?

    If it was my motor. If It developed a cracked head and the bottom end was good to go I would take care the heads and go on. How many miles are on the bottom end? How hard are you on the engine? These things come into play when deciding to do a full rebuild or not.

    More truck problems. Alrighty its time for another post about my adventures with the truck. As I said I had fuel issues well after that part swap they came back. The truck did the same thing again. I charged the batts and got it to wind over ok but it still would not start. So I pulled what I...

    I plan to make it next year and bring the green machine. Seeing as how I have straight piped exhaust we can meet and really wake up sleepy head. Also I wanted to thank everyone who has posted pics. Now I understand what it is like there. Thank you

    Fuel problems. All right everyone this post is going to go along with a few more. My truck had been running great for no problems for awhile but my good luck ran out. My truck is usually parked nose down, well one day it sat all day nose up at a decent tilt. Well I hopped in and it fired right...

    Thanks for the tip. I figured next time I pull the cover a aftermarket machined cover with a fill and drain will go on.

    Rear diff oil change I finally got around to changing the oil in the rear differential and checking out the chunk. I got the truck in my dad's shop on concrete and started working. I had my new gasket, my oil, permetex and tools. I cleaned up around the cover before I started pulling the bolts...

    They probably figured if they woke you up you might start slinging hot lead before you realised what was happening.

    Radiator cap eruption?

    I think it is just air pressure. Try letting it cool off, then start is and let it run with no cap. That should help it work out the air without forcing coolent out first. Just make sure you have some coolent ready to go in it just in case a lot of air comes out and drops the level really fast...

    Cucvlover's m1008 the green machine.

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I guess the m1010 is just special compared to the 08.(I'm not trying to your truck is retarded) I guess it just depends on the person there. My dad said he used to go around and around with the chain stores over spark plugs. He ran a plug that was...

    It's time for another installment of what have I done to the truck. This comes from back in may ish. It was time to get ride of the loose, burnt up, nonmatching belts. The truck had the same belts I bought it with, I had been planning to do the belts for awhile but I just hadn't had time. Well...

    That must be it. Thank you. I have been in autozone to get parts before and I have learned that you don't even think the words military truck. Because if you do it freaks the computer monkey out and its never a good experience. Thanks

    Thanks. I'm not talking about like one or two people I means several. Even if they had a two wheel drive truck that was supposedly extremely HP'd up and I say ok I won't use 4x4 they still back peddle
