I see the AC60Gs are recommend for resistor bypassed trucks, but from some quick searching I can't find why they are not recommended for non-bypassed trucks? I put them in my stock CUCV a little while back (maybe 200 starts with 100 being below 50F outside). However, when I went to pull the...

Has anyone tried to use of of these to replace the voltage drop resistors for the glow plugs? I'm wondering if it would be a good upgrade to still allow both batteries to power the glow plug system + allow 24V jump starts, but eliminate the cascade failure of the glow plugs since the voltage...

Hi All, My M1009 has the issue where the lift pump line is rubbing on the crossmember and leaking. I know this can be a problem when the pass engine mount wears out and lets the engine sit lower. However, these mounts are somewhat new (10 years ago probably 30k driving since then) and don't...

Even with a NOS throttle cable I am seeing the pedal does not travel far enough to activate the kick down switch. It will move enough to set the switch, but then it will just barely touch it at WOT. I've checked the following and nothing seems to be adjustable so I am confused as to what is...

Does anyone have part numbers for a set of 24V square sealed beam headlights that would drop in? One of my lights went out and I want to put that load over on the 24V system if I can. I already have a relay system installed so the headlight switch doesn't see the load from the headlights. So if...

I want to get my front and rear seat re-done. From searching here, it seems the early 80s camero seats are the closest match? Is there a source to get new vinyl for the seats (in the right color) that I can install or am I best off going to local upholstery place and having them work the seats...

I want to raise the part/off throttle downshift points on my M1009. When I am driving at ~15-30mph in a neighborhood it likes to bog in 2nd. If I show down for a turn or hill it stays in 2nd when I'd like it to drop down to first (without needing to floor it to hit the electronic kick down)...

For the hood release cable (GM 14039963). Who makes a decent one? The one I got from LMC only lasted about a year before the handle slipped on the cable.

Hi All, I'm having issues with my fuse block melting around the terminals for the headlight fuse as well as the heater blower motor fuse. I know these are somewhat common issues. Is there a part number or option to replace the plastic cover all the terminals press into? Or an alternative fuse...

Well I broke a valve spring and was a pretty close to dropping a valve from the looks of it. Luckily I shut it down before things went too off the rails. Long story short, when I pulled the rockers to repair the spring I also had a cracked rocker shaft and the old style bushing/cast rockers...

Hi All, My turn signals and tail lights work, but not my brake lights or rear hazard lights. I have power out of the brake switch at the pedal and every once in a while the hazard and brake lights start working so I know it’s a loose connection. Looking at the diagram it looks like everything...

As discussed in my other post I am in the market for parts to fix a broken valve spring and broken rocker arm shaft. Can anyone recommend where the best place to get these would be? It looks like rockauto only carries stuff for the new stamped style rocker assemblies. They have the valve spring...

Hey Guys, I'm having some engine trouble with the M1009 that has me a bit stumped. I drove it to work the other day and everything was swell. When I started it to go to lunch as soon as it started it revved way up to ~3k like the throttle was stuck open, but before I had a chance to acknowledge...

Looking to replace a cracked grille on my '84 M1009. It looks like LMC now offeres replacement grilles for the '84 with the chevy logo, etc. The part number form LMC is 38-4156 for the single headlight version, but it almost looks like the dual headlight version is a better match. Has anyone...

Hi Guys, I have an M1009 and an M116A3 that need paint. They both get worked pretty heavily off-road so I would like to paint them with carc or something that stands up as well. Is there a good source for buying current milspec paint? I'd like to keep it brake fluid resistant, etc.

Hi Guys, Looking at an Mep-803a coming up for auction on gov liquidation. I haven't bought from the auction site before or have much info on the genset. How are they for reliability and parts availability? Anything special I need to know about bidding on them on gov liquidation? Fees, forms, etc?

Well since I have owned my CUCV I have always suspected something was a little funky with the motor. It has a tick on the drivers side of the intake when the air filter is off and when you have ear plugs in you can hear there is more clatter at the drivers side valve cover than the passenger...

What's a fair price for a service body with about 80k miles in decent condition? Has the gen set and compressor. Seems likes the value of cucv's have gone up quite a bit since I bought my 1009 in 2010.

My m1009 has been off by about 20MPH for the last 4 years which I don't really mind other than the odometer artificially skyrocketing. I'm running 4.10 gears and 36in tires. I've heard there is a converter box on the M1009 that changes the speedo ratio as well as the gears in the T case. Do I...

My truck sat for about 4 months without being driven while I was away. When I went to start it up again I thought it would be a good idea to lube up the top end of the motor before starting it so I disconnected the cutoff wire from the IP and cranked it over for about 10 seconds without it...
