    Block heater installed..no leaks for a few days..now leaks

    Thanks for the input guys.This is my first winter with the 1009 as my only transportation.Mine used to start decent when down to 0,but last year it didn't do so well.

    This seems to be a seasonal issue for the M1009 Transmission.

    I agree with you 100%,I just thought it might be something to check as my vac. pump recently failed at only 90K miles.

    Block heater installed..no leaks for a few days..now leaks

    I bought a 1000watt unit from Bostic Motors Inc.,but have not installed yet.It looks sturdy and says made in Canada.I also picked up some spare freeze plugs,just in case it leaks.Last winter was brutal!

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

    Glad to hear everyones ok.Last year my neighbor backed his focus into my open tailgate on my 1009,I looked at his car and thought there is no way tailgate will close right,but it didn't hurt it at all,his trunk smashed in a good 6-8 inches..We were both amazed I had no damage!

    This seems to be a seasonal issue for the M1009 Transmission.

    Another thing you can check is your vacuum from the pump,vacuum from reg. valve and vac. at the modulator on trans.My trans doesn't get weird til its 10 degrees or lower out.

    Confusing 12 volt conversion.

    My 1009 is still 24/12 volt,but I was looking over rosscommon conversion and when I got to step 8 it says to remove a condenser from pass. side alt.Mine does not have this condenser.Any reasons why? Everything seems to work fine as is but a little concerned when something is missing! My volt...

    This seems to be a seasonal issue for the M1009 Transmission.

    I have one of these covers on my 1009,huge difference in cold weather,everything warms up much faster.And its not just a canvas cover,its much thicker and seems to be insulated on inside too. I worked in a canvas shop and these covers can not be cheap to build.Might still be some vid on youtube...

    Runs rough at idle?

    Thankyou for the link I was unable to access yesterday but could today.This problem happened when 1009 was completely stock,The upgrades seemed to help,but I really think IP is problem due to me running it out of fuel.And running some debris through it.It is my only means of transportation right...

    Standard motor injectors any good?

    Runs rough at idle?

    Cold start functions well,new GPs and checked,new starter spins good,idle speed turned up a bit,all filters new.I think its the IP even though truck runs fine with no lift pump and has no bubbles in return line.Or maybe IP timing is off.I posted a vid.of it on youtube search rsh4364 then look...

    Runs rough at idle?

    I replaced injectors and it still idles rough but runs even better.Then I thought I might have low compression on a few cylinders,did test(thanks richingalveston) all cylinders in 385-400 psi range.the rough idle is much more noticeable in gear not so much when in park or neutral.Clear fuel line...
