Hey guys, Searched a few threads regarding axle seals/leaks but couldn't find any photos that helped me diagnose this... For a while now the right front tire rim has been collecting grease/soot. I've heard it could be soot from brake dust but the calipers were changed a couple years ago and...

Hey guys, Searched a few threads regarding axle seals/leaks but couldn't find any photos that helped me diagnose this... For a while now the right front tire rim has been collecting grease. I've heard it could be soot from brake dust but the calipers were changed a couple years ago. As you...

Hey guys, Had my 27mt direct drive starter rebuilt because I must have improperly installed a new 28mt gear reduction and it chewed up the flexplate while the tranny mechanics were doing some adjustments. Now, for the life of them, they can't seem to install the 27mt with a new flexplate...

So this nasty grinding thing JUST happened to me when I tried to start it. Only thing I had done since I last parked was an LMC headlight wiring kit. I looked under the truck and found that a cracked starter bolt had fallen out (i'm assuming after this failed starting attempt). Recently...

My stereo loudly pops my speakers and my gen 2 light flashes when I brake. From what i've read both of these things can be related to a bad earth ground, but I've checked a few obvious spots already. I can't figure out which ground would be associated with applying the brake from looking at...

https://youtu.be/o0UHTgBGyTY Putting my ear to the oil pan is where it's loudest, or maybe just beyond it, more towards the rear. It stops when I put it into gear sometimes, but usually I can hear it again at random times when I'm driving. I know it leaks oil, and possibly ATF. I haven't had...

Hey guys, I feel like I've done enough searching so I'm just gonna ask... There are a few simple voltimeter actions listed in the instructions for testing the GPM that I don't grasp 100%. Does anyone mind elaborating on phrases like "Approximately 12.0 volts at wire","jump wire to...

I've combed the hard starting cucv threads, but I couldn't find any mention of this sound I'm hearing when cranking over my M1009. It's always been hard to start in the cold (even after new glowplugs), but now when I turn it over it makes a sort of machine gun type sound. Sounds like its...

Hey yall. Trying to remove the freeze plug on my M1009 so I can install a Kats heater, but it wont budge. Already accidentally punctured the inner circle (nothing's fallen inside, just bent), so I've been trying to pound at the lip or outer ring of the plug with a punch and hammer, but still...

(I already posted this in the noob section, but I ended up buying the thing so I figured I should introduce myself (my CUCV) in this forum) Just bought this '85 M1009 and its in EXCELLENT condition! Seller was a great guy, and kept it collector-like condition after he bought it off the train at...

Hey Guys, Always wanted a K5 and now I have the opportunity to buy an 85' M1009 in my area. Gonna go look at it tomorrow, but apparently it was a southern truck ("no rust"), 64k miles, and "unaltered from military." Sounds great so far. Just thought I'd get your expert opinions. Anything...
