    Hex Bolt

    That bolt size should be identified in the -34P Technical Manual. If you don’t have it, download it free from this site. Then find the exploded view page and identify the part number, then on the next page it will tell you the bolt size across from the part number. I believe those are metric...

    Speedometer cable tip

    Let me look in my spare parts bin tomorrow. I believe I may have a couple extra sleeves and Driven gears.

    Speedometer cable tip

    Make sure the shaft of the Driven gear is clean and greased.

    Speedometer cable tip

    You know, I believe you may have just discovered your problem. All Driven gears have a square hole on the end that protrudes from the sleeve, into which the speedometer cable end fits. It almost seems that you may have a piece of old cable broken off and still in the hole. Pull the sleeve back...

    Speedometer cable tip

    Here is a website with some great information pertaining to the Drive/Driven gears. https://www.tciauto.com/speedometer-gear-calculator I believe the adapter was installed on the M1009 so that the same Drive and Driven gears could be used in both the trucks and blazers. The CUCVs came from...

    Speedometer cable tip

    Sarge - Considering that you have replaced everything else, the only thing it could be is the "Speedometer Driven Gear Sleeve" located at the transfer case. See photos below. There is a Drive Gear inside the transfer case, and a Driven Gear in the sleeve. To confirm and rectify the issue...

    Replacement Fuel Tank

    OK here's another request for opinions regarding the new Spectre fuel tanks. Instead of painting them, what do you guys think about spraying them with undercoating prior to assembling them in the saddles and straps? I have the undercoating on-hand, and was just about ready to assemble the...

    Glow plug controller / manually glow System

    Marcus - could you share details of how your switch is wired? This subject has been hammered over the years however the new members may not know how to wire in a momentary switch to the blue wire at the card. Now that I think about it, I’m not sure I remember how to do it myself. Thanks for...

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    A couple years ago I had asked John at Hillbilly Wizard to let me know if he came across a pair of perfect original CUCV front fenders. Last fall he called me to say that he had just gotten in a parts truck with front fenders which looked new and if I wanted them they were $100 apiece. I almost...

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    I got the bed off and loaded onto my trailer. I was unsure how to transport the bed the 40 miles to Barry's metal fabrication shop, and also how he was going to be able to easily access the inner and outer sides of the work. The bed would not fit in-between the rails of my trailer, so I came...

    I see your tanks are black. Are they painted steel or plastic?

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    I haven't posted since January because I have been dealing with a few new health issues. I am now scheduled for major surgery on Wednesday June 9. I have a couple of vertebras in my neck which are pressing against my spinal cord. If not fixed, either of the vertebrae could sever the spinal...

    Power steering bracket

    Frank, that’s only slightly more than $2 per minute. What’s wrong with that? Hail, if you’ve got the money and you want to keep your hands clean, it’s the only way to go.

    Opinions on Undercoating

    Sound reduction. The only reason.

    Well Marcus, I guess I am freaking nuts.

    Replacement Fuel Tank

    Very well put Sir. I decided to install Spectre steel tanks and let some other boor pastard deal with it after I am dead and gone. I am 70 and with more health issues than I can count, so if the tanks will last just a few years while my truck is locked up in my heated and cooled warehouse, I...

    Is it a transmission, transfercase, ujoint or rear diff problem?

    Your leaky front transfer case seal may be more than the seal. You could have a scarred yoke shoulder to go along with a bad seal. I did a write-up on this a while back - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/leaky-front-transfer-case-seal-maybe-not.195119/

    Replacement Fuel Tank

    Rick - the used tank I got from you was a little too rusty for my taste. You know how I am. But I am bead blasting and painting your brackets which I needed anyway. My original drivers side tank is not in too bad shape, but since I had my bed off I decided to swap it out too. I will probably...
