    Used motor oil as undercoating

    I have put used oil on my 04 Silverado and it did slow down rust. I mixed light weight oil with the used motor oil to get it spray out of a spray bottle. It made the job easier that spraying with an old paint sprayer. My neighbor does use Fluid Film and it does work very well but anytime he...

    6.5 turbo intake on NA 6.2

    Well I might be holding off this project for a while and do some more research and see if I can fabricate a larger intake with a cone filter. I might be getting rid of the m1009 and trading it for a c30 flatbed. I am going to look at it Sunday but if I keep the blazer I will keep you guys...

    6.5 turbo intake on NA 6.2

    I am not sure that it would choke it any less than the stock air cleaner hole

    6.5 turbo intake on NA 6.2

    I am not trying to doubt you but when people put a 6.5 turbo on a 6.2 don't they use 6.5 intake manifolds? It was my understanding that the 6.5 and 6.2 intake manifolds were the same Here is the main thread that describes using a 6.5 intake manifold on 6.2...

    6.5 turbo intake on NA 6.2

    I have tried searching the forums for someone who put a 6.5 turbo intake on their 6.2 without turbo charging and have found nothing. I am looking into putting a the intake manifold and the top elbow from a 6.5 turbo diesel on 6.2 and keeping it NA. My thought was to put it on to help the 6.2...

    Oil cooler lines - Napa, build your own with AN fittings, or hack/rig the stockers?

    Well when mine went I put the $60 (30 each) oem advance auto cooling lines they were no up to par. I was on my way to purchase a dirt bike and the one line was not tight enough and vibrated around and wore a large gap and oil was shooting out the middle of the fitting. I limped it back to my...

    CUCV in a new video games

    Just wanted to give you guys who don't play video games much a chance to see that the CUCV has been utilized in 2 games that I know of. It is pretty interesting to see them incorporate it into the game. The first picture is from "Gold Rush The Game" and the second one is from "H1Z1: King of the...

    need a source for inner fender clips/fasteners for 1028

    I got most of those u-nuts or speed nuts at lowes a few months back for my dash. LMC will charge you a pretty penny for them but most hardware stores should have them.

    I Bought My First CUCV; a 1984 M1009

    Welcome buddy! It looks very similar to a truck that was recently for sale in the Baltimore area. I doubt it is the same truck but almost identical minus the antenna mounts.

    Air Duct for Air Cleaner

    I am almost 100% certain they did not come with a duct but I believe some of the Vans and perhaps some of the civilian trucks

    Suburban seat swap

    I used MRAP seats in my Blazer although they were pricey but they are way more comfortable than the original seats (not to mention I can adjust the back). It is a little difficult getting into the back seat but they hardly get used. Another thing is I should of made a better bracket to mount...

    oil cooler lines

    Are you referring to the metal lines that cross over the radiator (in front of the cooling fan) and go to the engine oil cooler?

    Newb.... with M1008

    Congrats Buddy! Looks like a fun project, any plans as for what you are going to do with it? Are you going to try and return it to stock military or something a little different?

    Making the drive from Los Angeles to Anchorage, Any suggestions on stuff to bring?

    I did replace them temporarily until I was able to have 2 new cooling lines made up (took 5 weeks, long story). If you look on the driver side of your radiator there should be two large rubber lines going into your radiator then crossing over to the drivers side through metal lines (between...

    Making the drive from Los Angeles to Anchorage, Any suggestions on stuff to bring?

    One thing I always carry in my m1009 (well any of vehicles really) is a tow strap or chain. Not that is a must be I seem to use mine at least 2-3 times a year to help someone out or have someone pull me out. A extra set of windshield wipers, 12v electric fan, fire extinguisher, a road map, and a...

    6.2l oil cooler lines

    One thing I learned when changing mine was take time to lubricated and loosen the two connectors on the radiator side. They will break loose given enough lubricant and wrenching them carefully. Another thing you may want to do is order the brass connectors that go into the engine block (above...

    oil leak

    I just had a similar problem with my 6.2, I would clean the oil filter after running it and there would be a snail trail of oil appearing to come down the oil filter. I drained the oil and checked the oil filter but it was not the filter. I checked the oil lines and they were tight. I decided to...

    Soft Back window m1009

    Well maybe a full on soft top will be better, I may need to save up some money first because last thing I want to do is make it looked rigged. As for the exhaust I am going to change it soon regardless it is too loud and I want a single exhaust at 3"

    Soft Back window m1009

    what about rerouting the exhaust so it would a single 3" on one side? I know with the my current oem dual exhaust I get some fumes back in when going slow (under 25mph). Both sides of my tailgate have a 1/4" see through gaps. But I wondering if moving it to one side would help or would it still...
