    metallic like creak

    Not sure what it is. Seems to be from R front end, happens at slow speed when turning wheel, seems rotational. Not happening in straight line. While inspecting, noticed there is a new leak from the axle seal. First I thought ball joints, but its sounds rotational, bearing? seal ? Axle u-joint is...

    windshield re&re time

    So went to a glass shop and inquired about a windshield. Mines lasted 14 years, finally got a chip that started cracking. Guy says $380..I'm like..what? It's that much more than the States. Then I'm like how long do do it. Guy says 3-4 hrs. At this point I laughed and said you have got to be...

    Ft exhaust pipe compatability

    Does any one have experience regarding the different part numbers for the M1009 R ft exhaust pipe. I found an OEM that I picked up thinking it would be a little different and need some bending where it meets the ext pipe and muffler, but it seems to match up against my existing pipe. Mine is a...

    Voltmeter died

    Happened first time about 7 years ago, changed out the relay, still nothing. A local CUCV guy sent me a used resistor that sits on the back of voltmeter. Worked until the other day. Does anyone have a working resistor kicking about that they could spare?

    Axle u-joint

    Went to do the yearly lube of my axle u-joints and steering zerks. On drivers side I could not get one of the axle u-joint seals to purge. Tried rotating the seal, went out and drove in 4WD, turning lock to lock, but still no luck. Any ideas?

    CDR bolt size

    Anyone know the size of the two bolts that hold the CDR valve onto its bracket? One of mine has a bad thread, there' a zap strap there now. Checked the good bolt, looks to be a Metric 8x1.25, but the die won't thread on. Cant figure it out.

    Coolant type

    Going to flush and replace the coolant in my M1009. Always used regular green before. Wondering what type of antifreeze you guys have used, what gives the longest corrosion protection.

    Fuse question

    Have seen pics of guys fuse boxes, mine is the same but looking at the TM's it shows something different. The slot to the left of the 25 Amp wiper fuse has script that says "MKR/IP 20 ", seems we all have a 20 Amp fuse there. In the TM's it shows this slot as #16 5 Amp Courtesy light fuse. Is...

    Power steering pump leak

    Saw a few drips on driveway, checked underneath, bottom lip of power steering pump was wet. Couldn't really see where it came from, thinking it might be the inside, forward face, where shaft attaches to pulley. All lines are tight and dry. Is this a normal wear item. Take the unit off and...

    Shipping woes..any ideas.

    I want to buy a CUCV inner fender from Gimpyrobb, who is in Cincinnati, Ohio. I'm in Vancouver, BC Canada. The box is 42x24x24 and weighs 25lbs. I usually use USPS as they are the most reasonable, but they say its too big to ship. Fedex wants $234 , DHS wants $174. That doesn't include the...

    Inner fender

    My right inner fender is rotted along the top edge where it meets fender. Cant source an OEM here in Canada, so its shipping from the States. Would prefer a CUCV original with all the brackets in place as I no longer have access to welding equipment. Contacted a couple of vendors here, theirs...

    Odd thump

    M1009, 4" lift w/blocks on rear. Its a thump that is more felt than heard. Seems to be coming from the rear. Its not the u-joint. Happens when starting from a full stop, not right away on throttle application but after a few feet of travel. Also occurs when coming to a full stop right at the end...

    exhaust pipe fit

    My right side exhaust down pipe that bolts to the manifold looks like it spent its life in Truk lagoon, unlike the left which is clean. Been on the lookout for one as apparently they cant get one here and the original GM ones are supposed to be better than the Walker exhaust as they are made...

    Alternator squeek

    Just started hearing it today at idle. Is this a symptom of one of the bearings going out? Belts are new and tight, its definitely Alt 2. Was last rebuilt March 2005. About 90,000 miles on engine since. Anyone hear this before.

    Wiper motor alignment

    Changed out my wiper/washer assembly as I've go the windshield out to fix a small leak. Thought I put it all back like it was, just noticed that the link arm that attaches to the motor with the 13 mm nut looks like its 180 degrees off. Do I have to redo this or does it not matter, ie; does the...

    Stripped bolt hole

    Today I was under my M1009 lubing u-joints and steering components. Noticed the front 15/16 bolt that attaches the brace to the transfer case was protruding 1/4". Went and put a wrench on it..it came right out!. The shop that had taken apart and resealed my transfer case last fall obviously had...

    Injector washers

    Ordered a set of injection washers from a CUCV parts place for my upcoming new injector install. They are aluminum, I was under the impression that that they are supposed to be made of annealed copper. Diagram showed they are washers for injectors, part #14025557 on package is correct. Can I use...

    Sourcing Injectors

    Been noticing a drop in mileage lately. Starts, idles and runs great. M1009 has 154,000 miles that I know of. Don't know the history of motor. Got it with 67,000 miles, whether its original IP and injectors or if odometer has gone over once is unknown. Considering getting a set of injectors to...

    U-joint trunnion wear

    Thought I would share this pic of the wear on my forward rear driveshaft u-joint , its only on 3 trunnions. M1009 has a 4" lift. As you know there is quite the angle on a M1009 fwd rear u-joint with a 4" lift. When I first got it on the road in 2004 the u-joint started squeeling after 28,000...
