    M1009 temp gauge

    As cucvrus said, I put a humvee crossover on mine, but I had a leaking radiator, so I did several things at the same time. I used a Summit double gauge setup, they are on sale sometimes for cheap. The Summit gauges I ordered were black with a black bracket. Fits perfect under the ashtray...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I'm going to. I spent 3 days working on it, I just have to wait for my next day off to be able to do anything with it. I haven't done anything on this truck yet that wasn't neglected or ignored by a previous owner. Apparently, these trucks seem to be really good places to hide money your...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Day 3 turned out not much better. I cleaned lots of connections. Eliminated a bunch of Fire Dept wiring, also a live 24v wire that was just taped on the end, just hanging out under the dash. Cranked after cycling the key several times, ran and warmed up, seemed ok. Fixed a leaky radiator...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    To clarify, it does everything it should except crank. I'm cleaning connections tomorrow, might bypass some fusible links too. We will see.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Day 2 update, work all done, now it doesn't start. No click, nothing. It did this once or twice, I believe there is a bad connection somewhere. At least I'm not 30 miles from home, test light and battery charger for tomorrow.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    You're telling me, I got a building with 3 sides and a dirt floor I work out of in the summer, winter means a lot of not really doing much unless I can sneak in somewhere

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Thanks Buddy, I'm using my favorite brother in law's building, I'm only a few feet from the woodburner, it's T-Shirt weather over here. Hope my block heater shows up tomorrow, I think I have everything else lined up.

    How should I patch my transmission cooling line?

    If you have a brake line flare tool kit, single flare the line before you put the rubber line on it. I've done it a few times

    starter solenoid problem on my M1009?

    Mine had a similar episode, the battery cable was bad between the negative post on the rear battery and the solenoid on the firewall. I put a jumper there, it cranked right up. I have always been suspicious of that cable, it's a homemade one

    Occasionally my left turn signal indicator lights up

    ^^^ This has been my experience with most of my GM stuff, you know something is up when the turn indicator lights up

    Taillight wiring problem

    As I have discovered before, and I'm sure lots of us can attest to, sometimes we are our own worst enemy. This especially applies to electrical connections, even if we "say" it's a temporary or "test" connection.

    CUCV pickers find 1987 CUCV M1028

    Just asking, is that a custom camo pattern? Looks like some woodland over tan, but I like it

    Terminus M1009

    Man that is one nasty looking master cylinder. Did you replace the dot 5 stuff with dot 3 when you changed everything out?

    1985 Chevrolet CUCV M1028

    omg I'm not sure I could have let that one go. It's a lot nicer than anything else I'm driving plus it's nicer than anything I've owned for the last 15 years. I think I understand fussing over it, I bet shopping carts and tornados had it on the radar
