Hey guys, it's been awhile and my poor ol 1009 has been sitting. I charge batteries and try to run it occasionally but I dont take it for cruises around the lake anymore since I've had air in fuel issues and have gotten too busy. Long story short, I replaced the fuel pump and changed filter...

Hey guys. I've been lurking for years after selling my 1008 to finance a move. Missed it tons and picked up a 1009 a couple years later. She has been awesome and I've done alot to and with her, but facing adult priorities with daily drivers and children means I'm thinking of selling. My 1009...

Hey guys, I've been lucky and have done the Dog head mod, but a 1008 I sold that had Doghead mod done had starter runaway and now I'm trying to prepare for it. I recently purchased a nice Mac plier/cutter set and it came with a cable cutter I will likely never use. Made me wonder what would...

Hey guys. Voltage regulator on drivers side alt decided 17-18 volts was a happy spot on me. Dont think it did any damage before i could limp it home keeping rpms low. Got a rebuild kit from Tow4, and rebuilt it last weekend. Im no electrical expert but the rebuild threads here helped me out. I...

Hey guys, I am not familiar with the hydro boost system in general. I'm trying to learn about it, and how the power brakes and power steering work with each other. So I recently put a new steering gearbox in and did 2 alignments and spent a ton of time bleeding the air out of my PS system. I...

Prepping my m1009 for an Iowa to North Dakota hunting trip. And all the stuff I wanted to do anyway! So far new springs, shocks, steering stabilizer, alignment, complete weatherstrip kit, hitch, license plate light, trailer wiring/brake controller. New belts Doghead mod and resistor bypass were...

Hey guys I searched here and the Internet but my results were flooded with U bolt re use debate. New u bolts for me, but my main spring eye bolts are in great shape. Are they torque to yield, are they a one time use or not? To to make this post minorly interesting, so far an hour and a half in...

Sorry if this has been covered, I did multiple searches but not quite what I'm after, lots of info on running 32s but 10.50s, advice on trimming etc.... Anyway I'm wanting to run 32x12.50s on original wheels. I also do not want to cut on my fenders. What I'm viewing as options are ORD zero...

Hey guys, I'm on my second cucv that I've put a radio in. On both I've added a 12v powered antenna and neither have been able to pick up a single station. So what gives? Is there some sound suppressor or something that's messing the signal up, or are the antennas junk?

Hey guys, did a couple searches but couldn't come up with what I was looking for. Got the m1009 out today to check gp operation and made sure the locking hubs were free while I was at it. Well they were free, but as I got up to about 25mph I got a buzzing noise from the driver front. Assuming...

Hey guys, starting to get chilly at night in the Midwest. I did a lot of reading recently on diesel additives for our CUCVs. In my former m1008 I always ran Power Service for anti gel in the winter. After reading how much better some say their cucv ran after using the Stanadyne additive I picked...

Hey guys, I've never been good with wheel back spacing measurements, hoping to get some help. Did a search but nothing that really answered my question. Someday fairly soon I will be lifting my 1009 about 2" and I plan to run 33x12.50s. At the same time I would like to widen the stance some...

Anyone have a good idea what a crate 6.2 is going for these days, and where a guy might find one? Thought I just had a rear main seal oil leak. Now I'm also seeing it down the front of the engine. I am also suspecting a head gasket, cooling system is pressurizing enough to push coolant into the...

I mistakenly ordered a red dash pad from LMC. Has anyone dyed one to match the seats of a m1009? Other options in the bag of tricks are to dye the dash pad and door panels black, and add seat covers.

Ok guys, I apologize in advance for yet another gp system thread. I picked up a m1009 2 weeks ago and am slowly going through the systems to make sure it is reliable. Started with dog head mod, next on my list was new ac60gs and 12v resistor bypass. Well new gps in and then I discovered that the...

Hey guys, my new to me 09 is slow to start when under about 50 degrees when it should clearly start fine. I chalked it up to needing new glow plugs at purchase. Well after installing a new set of ac60gs, it starts better but after 2 cycles of the plugs and needing a little throttle to get going...

Hey guys, going to try to go get a M1009 this weekend. It's about 7.5hrs away and I'm going to try to drive it home with a support vehicle following. Been a couple years since I sold my M1008 and I am trying to think of extra parts or supplies I may need to get her home. Right now, I'm thinking...

Hey fellas, think I might have found my next cucv project, good price but it is a couple states away. I feel comfortable buying it sight unseen for the asking price where it is, and I have figured shipping costs into that as well. Here's my dilemma, I need to find a way to pay the seller that...

Hey fellas, I'm in the process of moving so I'm in a pinch and I don't have time to really hunt this down myself, so if it's something dumb I apologize up front! had to sent the 1008 to the shop to drill out a broken starter bolt. She runs great now but the turn signal indicators on the dash do...

So I got the remaining bolt out for my starter, is it easier to remove the flex plate cover, drop the front driveshaft, or what to get the starter out of the way to try to drill the broken bolt out? Also, its broken off pretty deep in the block. I can tell its gonna be a real PITA. Wish me...
