Howdy Folks - Curious if anyone has implemented any variation of a buggy spring on the M1009 or M1008. Chatted with a guy yesterday who build a few dedicated crawler rigs (that still ran on the street). He introduced me to the idea of a buggy spring. Anyone fabbed together an interpretation...

Howdy Folks - I am trying to find the part numbers that reference the front and rear axle assemblies in the M1008. Searching for some crated up axles... Rear axle part number? Front axle part number? My M1009 needs some stronger sticks to support the 37s or whatever will the fender after...

Howdy Folks, Regarding my driveline vibrations I've been researching solutions. One solution is Tom Wood's Slip Yoke Eliminator (SYE) kit for the NP208. This uses a modified NP208 tailhousing and a shaft. I am curious if anyone has used this for their NP208. I would like to know how you...

Howdy Folks - Just threw on a 4" lift kit assembled by ORD. My kit was composed of: 4" lift springs by tuff country for the rear 4" HD lift springs by tuff country for the front ORD HD front shackles (yes, these deserve a BAMF stamp) greasable components for all moving joints of the...

Howdy Folks - Quick question that was generated while trying to troubleshoot driveline vibrations. Is the NP241 a direct drop in swap for the NP208 in an M1009? Any need for: adapter plates shifter linkages crossmember modification rubber mount modification speedo cable modification Is...

Howdy Folks - Planning some body work on the 1984 M1009 this weekend. Removing some cancer from the tailgate (exterior sheet), and patching some holes in the bed behind the wheel well. What gauge sheet metal are these sections from the factory? Is the same gauge a valid replacement for...

Howdy Folks! Both front and rear diff covers are pissing fluid. Just replaced fluid not too long ago in both axles, smeared a very liberal coating of RTV to seal things up. Apparently that didn't quite work. The rear diff cover is peeling rearwards at the bottom (draggin on something on the...

Howdy Folks - The big green turd has been quite the SOB to start lately. There is no voltage at the cold advance or fast idle leads that connect to the injection pump. I have replaced the thermo-swtich at the rear of the passenger's side of the block that threads into the block that governs...

Howdy Folks! This may take some wind to fully describe how my M1009 is behaving after this weekend's work. I will try to be concise as possible. Here is the situation: Problem: While engine is cold, up to 60 seconds after startup, and a modest blip of the throttle (50% or greater) the...

TM 9-2320-289-20 3-18. FUEL DRAINBACK HOSES REPLACEMENT. Came to work today and luckily the pavement was went. Backed into a parking spot and found a fair bit of oil on the wet parking lot. Opened the hood and there was something leaking fairly substantially on the passenger side of the...

Howdy Folks - Fixing to lift the M1009 here soon. I've been scoping out the lift kits, talked to a few folks in town and gathered a few opinions. Just looking for a simple 4" lift kit. I don't want to modify the drivetrain too much (at this point at least), dealing with longer driveshafts...

Howdy Folks - I'm curious if anyone knows fan shroud interchangeability for the m1009 between the gasoline C/K series. My m1009 came with no fan shroud. As summer is ramping here in Tucson, I'm expecting the triple digit heat to come for the long haul soon. Anyways, curious what shroud...

Howdy Folks - Condensed story: Radiator had a small leak from previous owner, leak got worse, took radiator into radiator shop to evaluate it's condition. Report was most tubes where soldered to the header plate were leaking, both header plates required a rebuild, re-soldering most passages...

Howdy Folks - Been cruising the wealth of knowledge on the SS forum rather extensively over the past few months gearing up an m1009 project. (Yay, hoorah, cheers!) I've read a number of threads of folks generally discussing some of the AC kits for the CUCV trucks, but only a few come to mind...
