    New to me M1009 and full of issues

    Tough to tell, will need a closer picture. Sounds like you need some time with your CUCV until it ia ready for the road. I like to break things down into phases to keep the resurrection process going steady. Phase 1 I like to call major surgery. This would include tearinf down that whole...

    turns over but wont start

    If you shut it off and it wont refire right after, sounds like a fuel issue. My glowplug setup didnt work and my rig would restart without issues until it sat long enough to cool down.

    M1031 build thread

    I managed to squeeze the tank onto my assymetrical 9000lb. lift which makes me scared. That is why I chose not to tackle this job with the truck over my head. I did put my vacuum system on my smoke tester and turns out my vacuum valve is smoking worse than a typical high school kid. I'm not...

    M1031 build thread

    I got the truck to the school and first order was to put some new belts on. The Wiki has some conflict on what belts to use being that some of them will never be tight enough. I think that if your PS belt is too loose, your driver side GEN will never be tight enough either. I also did a resistor...

    M1031 build thread

    I picked up my M1031 a few weeks ago. All of my orders have come in with parts so now onto the build. First stage was to get it running. This required new glow plugs (or atleast the 6 new ones are working better than just 2 old ones), crimping new wider glow plug terminals with some shrink wrap...

    THIS is always overlooked...

    I was tracking down charging issues which turned out to be bad connections on my GEN lights but mine look the same as yours. Time to make my first order with CUCV Electric. "Yes, keep my credit card and address on file" :shock: One of my alternators is still charging alittle on the high side...

    Trans shift issue

    I got my M1031 at the shop now. I will be doing a ton of maintenance along with a 4" lift install and 37's. When it's up on the lift, I am going to pull the modulator and governor to see if something bad comes up with either one.

    Finally !

    Not to be a naysayer because I dig your setup but I'm questioning the structural integrity of the stock bumper being used for a hawse/fairlead support.

    Finally !

    I'm assuming the winch plate bolts from the top down onto the upper portion of the c channel frame? Also, your front part of the C channel is Tucked right behind the bumper for your fairlead mount?

    Finally !

    Any photos of the winch mount itself? This is exactly what I'm looking for and need ideas for a mount. The 4wheel magazine build has the same thing but still lacks a good photo of just the plate.

    Question: Drive shaft yoke needed

    Should be a standard Spicer driveline part anu driveshaft shop can get. I personally use Tom Woods or call Jesse at High Angle Driveline. Both of them have knockout service and are great guys to deal with. Most guys on Pirate4x4, ColoradoK5, and other forums use them. If you want used, pretty...

    New M1031 owner

    Can't view the pictures but I'm on a mobile browser so that may be it. Congrats on the M1031 purchase, I got mine a few weeks ago. Careful, the virus spreads quick. I already have military 37's mounted up and my 4" lift kit just came in. There is no cure!!!

    cucv headlight recomendations

    Agreed, not cool with running illegal wattage. I am not Corey Hart and I do not wear my sunglasses at night... Stick with regular wattage (keeps wiring cool too) and use your high beam circuit to trigger a relay for bright auxiliary driving lights if you need some super candlepower.

    Roscommon charging problem...

    My alternator wasn't charging due to a bad connection on the twist bulb. After some cleaning and filing, the lights comes on when the key is in the on position and goes out after starting like designed. I think I am going to replace my light bulb bases to keep any connection issues at bay...

    racor spin on ??

    Is the pump an auxiliary boost pump feeding the pump on the engine block or standalone? Wonder if you can use this inline with the engine pump as a backup or cold start pump.

    Trans shift issue

    You may just have really high line pressure which could be the valve in the oil pump or valvebody. If line pressure is too high, all other pressures like governor or modulator will be off. The TH400 is pretty stout. Not the best transmission as far as gear ratios are concerned but still good...

    Trans shift issue

    I still do not understand why it basically shifts at redline no matter how much vacuum is at the modulator or if the downshift solenoid is used. I don't have a tach but my online gearing calculator is showing shift points at 3400-3600 rpms. I will go through the correct regulator adjustment...

    Trans shift issue

    My new red stripe modulator didn't fit, the OD was slightly larger than the one that came out...not sure why but couldn't install it. It's an ATP unit I bought from RockAuto. Either way, the original one in the truck has a dry vacuum line. I also pumped it up with a vacuum pump. It holds and...

    Trans shift issue

    Since my M1031 came home and I got it running, the trans has been doing a classic late shift issue. Now that my 6.2 is running good, I've started the diagnosis on it. First road test, it was shifting at 37mph and 50 mph. I had only 5" of vacuum at the modulator. I fixed some vacuum lines and...

    Belt driven turbo/ supercharger

    130HP stock but some tweaks to the IP, waste gate, and adding an intercooler brings up higher for cheap coin compaired to modding a 6.2 That isn't even touching the turbo, injectors, etc. Just my opinion but I would be up for just a straight up 4BT or Isuzu swap before trying to do any serious...
