I'm trying to figure out how the Cold Advance "doo hicky" works on the Injection Pump... Just had my Injection Pump rebuilt (I went with O-F-I out of Eugene Oregon). After installing the Injection Pump, I plugged my block heater in to help warm up the motor and oil so that when I cranked it...

M1009. Lights come on (key on engine off) as normal. Since I have the motor torn apart waiting on Injection Pump rebuild - is there an easy way to test the sending units for these lights? I KNOW I have had this thing overheat before... Was blowing black smoke for 20 minutes up a 4,000...

During my quest to have the injection pump rebuilt, I noticed I should probably replace my CDR valve... When I disconnected the hose from oil filler neck from the CDR valve, about 2 ounces of nice blue diesel oil came pouring out of the valve (hey at least it was CLEAN oil;-)) I remember...

AND WHO IS THE MOST AFFORDABLE AND REPUTABLE REBUILDER? I am getting pretty frustrated with conflicting information from 1 rebuilder to another. I am willing to mail the pump out for rebuild - I just want a quality job using the correct specs when it comes to bench flowing for specs. Im...

I just pulled my injectors, and the injection pump planning on having them rebuilt... Then doing some research here on the forums I saw suggestions for turning the IP up 1/6 turn and adding Marine Injectors. I found out that stock M1009 injectors have a popping pressure of like 1900lb and I...

Im giving some love back to my M1009 (daily driver) and thinking about having the IP and Injectors rebuilt - total cost would be around $450. My truck is a daily driver and still runs fine, but the idle is getting rough and its starting to bother me... So - I bought a really nice STE/ICE-R...

I've done a little reading here and I see there are several solutions or routes to take when dealing with the glow plug system in the CUCV. I went with the "bypass resistor" option. 2 years ago I remember bypassing the resistor(?) on the firewall behind the air cleaner when diagnosing/fixing...

Still trying to "tune up" my CUCV on the cheap. The truck has started to shake a lot at idle and sounds like someone is shaking a "jar of marbles" instead of the smooth sound of diesel knock... I am thinking it might be the injectors, or likely a few "sticky/bad" injectors, so I am wondering...

Haven't been around in a while -- my M1009 has been super reliable over the last 3 years - I do the usual oil, fuel filters and regular oil changes, BUT... I think it's time I actually gave the truck some attention. I've noticed that the truck has developed a "shaking" (more than usual) and...

I am going to attack my upper/lower ball joints on the M1009 next weekend and want to order parts... Figure I would do wheel bearings, brakes etc... at the same time. I've got the right brakes, but I am wondering what ball joints and axle seals I will need? Do I just order stock K5...

I think it is the gold colored thingy with the hoses attached on passenger side of air cleaner? But what does it do? And how do I know if I need to replace it? What would symptoms be? I pulled my aircleaner off to check my IP for leaking diesel (IP was fine). BUT I noticed the inside of my...

Curious if the CUCV 6.2L diesels need valve adjustments at certain intervals? My truck has 119k miles. Its always been sluggish but lately I noticed that the exhaust pressure coming out of the passenger side feels STRONGER than that coming out of the driver side?

What kinds of tests can I run with the STE-ICE computer analyzer kit? I love my CUCV to death (M1009). It is my ONLY vehicle and I have been using it as a daily driver for 2+ years. Its not the most comfortable vehicle and I can afford a new car - but I just love this truck. I live in...

I have a BAD fuel leak that seems to be coming from the filter cartridge base plate? I can't seem to "pinpoint" where the leak is coming from BUT I know it is nowhere near the lift pump, so rotted/pinched fuel line near the motor mount is ruled out. I pressure washed all the dirt/grime/diesel...

I can't seem to find any decent replacement rims that aren't all CHROMED out BlingBling for my CUCV... My rims are HORRIBLY out of balance and are wearing my tires down extremly fast... I would like to purchase a decent set of replacement rims but can't find anything that look decent... I am...

I am trying to replace my brakes on the CUCV. I got the right FRONT Brakes, but I have no clue what the rear brake shoe size is??? I am out in the city right now and am hoping somebody can tell me if they are the 11" or the 11 + 5/32" size so I can pick them up before I drive home... ALSO...

So today I accidently discovered just how heavy our CUCVs really are - the scary way! (and comparativley speaking they aren't that heavy - but when you don't have brakes, they will roll down a hill REALLLLLLY FAST!) I was cruising down the hill and pedal went to the floor! Managed to stop once...

About a month ago I hopped in the M1009 and cycled the glow plugs. When the wait light went off I turned the key fully forward and nothing happend - I got a click from the starter relay but nothing from starter solenoid... Out of frustration I furiously went between start/off with the key, and...

So I come on here and see everyones posts about the starter relay dying - WELL I LOST MY STARTER LAST WEEK... Spent the $$$ for a rebuild and 2 new batteries, back on the road for 5 days. THEN THIS MORNING THE TRUCK WON'T START! I heard some sizzling noises from down under the dash (by the...

The front buckets in my CUCV are getting pretty trashed, the back rests are in good shape but the seat pads are starting to crack and the foam is starting to get torn up... Does anyone make a nice kit or replacement seat???
