    New m1009 new headaches

    Sounds like its got power but the fuel shut off is not working and stuck off. You can take off the cover and test it. You will be able to see it move the leaver or not.

    Power steering bracket

    You need to rent or buy a PS pulley puller. you need this to remove the pulley, there a press fit and if you try to use a gear puller or hob job it off your going to brake it for sure. The best thing you can do if you own a CUCV is buy a Chilton Repair book for a mid 80 blazer/pick up. 99.9% of...

    Lock out hubs m1009

    could be.. there is a O ring that seals them to the hub and it rots off quick. I have installed super winch Hubs on my last blazer (about 65 smackers) and they were a lot tighter.

    CUCV Lift Kit Tech Support

    The blocks "should" be tapered to adjust the drive line angle. If not keep the shims in and put them in between the axle and the block. The plate can go ether way there is no front or back.

    old guy with new toy

    General Motors introduced a line of Diesel V8 engines for their C/K pickup trucks in 1982. This engine family, designed by GM division Detroit Diesel, was produced by GM through 2000, when it was replaced by the new Duramax line. AM General's subsidiary General Engine Products (GEP) still...

    Start/Stop handle, what do you do?

    I remember hearing about a M109 that was push started by a huge wind storm and entered a building and made a new door. Kenny is correct the Multi fuel when working well will start by just looking at it too hard. I know my old deuce would be running before I could even just try to bump the...

    no camber and castor adjustment on an 08

    I do stand corrected..well we cant always be right. But that is a problem with changing the drive line angle.

    no camber and castor adjustment on an 08

    You can not adjust the caster.. but like was said there are off set kingpins and ball joints for the 09's. Caster is the placement of the wheel under the springs (like a shopping cart has the wheels set back from the swivel point) All you do by adding the Shims is change the angle of the drive...

    Alternator ground question

    AHHHHHHH!!!! The drive side is the only alternator that can be a CASE ground. both alts are the same on the Stock military CUCV. Both Alts have a ISOLATED ground. The Case is NOT grounded. On the driver side the black ground wire goes and the little brown wire is a signal wire for the ICE...

    Pumpkin Problems

    well mains don't "clunk" they squeal. Remember when the new Gm engines came out in the 1999 trucks? and they all "knocked" till they got warmed up. Well it was a problem with the piston skirt and would make noise till it got warm and expanded. Could just be a size problem due to over boring and...
