historically, my questions don’t capture a lot of answers but I’m looking for a lot of opinions from people who have replaced their IP’s. Guys, I have a m1009 and m1008 no turbo. My m1008 is starting to lose power and I’ve replaced injectors, lift pump, and fuel filters. So I guess I’m down to...

Working on my m1009. New vacuum hoses and trans vacuum modulator. I know there are a lot posts about vacuum pumps and how to troubleshoot ones that aren’t working. But what about sort of working? I can only get a vacuum of 14-17 out of the vacuum pump by disconnecting the lower hose from the...

Working on a m1009. I have a donor m1009 that ran before starting to pull parts from it. I used the functioning power steering pump from the donor that was not having issues. I installed it on my project m1009 and it drives and functions. BUT, when I turn the wheel to lockout, the fluid spews...

It seems I never have to post anything unless it’s a wiring question. I have had a m1008 for 10 years with no real issues. I have recently acquired a m1009. The previous owner says he converted to 12v but it looks like all he did was disconnect the gen 2 wiring and remove the alt. I have...

Hey guys. M1009. The previous owner spliced into a lot of wiring. But I’ve gotten most of the wiring back to normal. Now that I’ve gotten the lights turning on with the dash switch and blackout lights working again. And the brake lights working. The running lights for both tail lights are...

Where are you guys getting the fuel drain back injector line # 14061569? I’m not seeing it on eBay or using this number?

Since the truck last ran well and normal, I have done the following: replaced the radiator with Spectre b850 New Radiator hoses Replaced oil dummy light sensor rear driver Replaced glow plug sensor rear passenger Replaced coolant sensor front driver Replaced coolant crossover with HMMWV coolant...

I know this is covered before. I guess I’m looking for current opinions. Where’s the best locations to add a coolant and oil temp sensor while keeping the dummy lights intact? For coolant: Crossover Manifold? Water pump? Is there somewhere that will give me an exact coolant temp pre-radiator...

Did the M1008 originally have a one piece or two piece vent window seal? These days does it matter as long as all of the pieces are purchased together? What’s the best brand/site for weatherstripping these days (I know this is a long asked question but just looking for some updated opinions)?

Has anyone used expanding spray foam insulation to close air gaps in the cab? If so, what did you use? Did you spray foam the bottom portions of the driver and passenger side air vents?

So I had my m1008 sandblasted and undercoated and painted. I was dropped off at the paint place today and as I’m leaving, I only have first gear. I had all three running perfect when I dropped it off. Any help is appreciated, so I can get this home. Could there be something clogged with blast...

I was pulling my dash bezel earlier today and when I twisted the light socket out of the stock volt meter, the white wire came out of the bulb socket. So of course I pulled the light bulb out. And a spring and small copper piece fell out. Since I don't think this is in the manuals, I am...

Ok.... I have a M1008. I just finished putting Offroad Design’s shackle flip with custom springs on my truck. Before placing the springs on the truck, the front springs looked symmetrical and the rear springs looked symmetrical. Though I admit, I did not measure them. Also, before replacing...

Ok, I have searched the CUCV forum for info on this and I thought I'd try to start a current thread of recommendations. So, what is everyone using to re-cover your M1008 bench seats? Are you using local upholsters or do you have certain name brand re-covering kits that you prefer? And what is...

Hey guys, about two months ago I noticed my proportioning valve leaking as well a few other brake line leaks which lead me to figure out that someone had mixed two different brake fluids in the master cylinder. So I started on an adventure to install a new brake system from master cylinder all...

Hey guys, Has anyone used Classic Tubes for their stainless steel brake line replacements? If you did and you have the M1008, what kit number did you order?

Is everyone using DOT 5? Or are you using 5.1 brake fluid? I'm looking for your opinions on type and brand? And..... GO!

Hey guys, I replaced my original rear main seal and vacuum lines back in April on my M1008 and until today I have not had any issues. But today I found a small amount of oil that was gathering on the backside of my oil pan which appears to be coming from or around the rear main. Last week, I...

Has anyone ever used Sherwin Williams Automotive paint to repaint their rigs? If so, what color and color codes did you use? Associated pics would be helpful! Thanks guys!

Opinions on Oil Pump Change Needed I have an 1986 CUCV K30 6.2 diesel. I am changing the rear main seal and oil pan seal this Friday. The question is: Do I change a working old oil pump while I'm there? Or does the motto, if it ain't broke don't fix it apply? Let's hear any comments, opinions...
