    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    Had fun digging through all the surplus stuff today getting ready for spring Carlisle. I found 3 of these little gems for the drivers rear head. Nice that it comes with the harness adapter and directions. I think one of these is getting put in now too. New steering wheel and return lines look...

    Yup that would be a quick spark.. wasn't thinking...if I do anything I'll wire up a 4 pin relay...be nice if I could find a male connector to plug into the harness but not 100% needed. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Ahhhhh that makes perfect sense it just didn't click until you said that. The relays that are 4 prong have that built in. I'll pin a jumper wire in it and call it a day. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Ok so I got a question about the horn wiring. I was driving the other day and the horn blew for a second, then stopped, but then the horn button didn't work. Came home and found the horn fuse blown. Pop a new fuse in and turn on the blackout switch and the horn blows! Removed the relay and the...

    So someone got something for his 1009 the other day. The funny story was 2 falls ago. I ordered the tag m1009...state said it was available and ready to go. I hit the notary and waited 3 months only to have it denied. That summer we're out looking at a local surplus guys stuff only to find that...

    Alternator rebuild day for the 1009. Unfortunately one of the rear bearings got damaged so I won't get both done tonight. These are easy and fairly inexpensive to do plus I get to keep the made in USA cases and internals. Got new fans for this set. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Oh that's great news then!! I really didn't know. So that kit is actually a decent one then. Advance auto for the win there...I really was not expecting much for 20$.

    Yeah it was frustrating not thinking the new tank and lines that the return got pinched going in. The kit I got is called FKM which from what I can find is decent stuff...some searches said it was the actual material Viton is named after but not 100% sure. My son can replace them in about 20...

    Ok so the last few weeks we've been fighting the return lines blowing off the injectors. I had the braided 3.5mm hose and 6.5mm clamps that didn't work. Then I found a dorman kit that had the 3.5mm hose non braided and 6mm clamps. Nothing held. So off the the kiss world and had him check the...

    We're guessing school...he parks in the back since he's a night student. Work is wide open with cameras so we don't think there. Hoping some kid drives in with it mounted to his truck. They can be that stupid. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Yeah someone really wanted it bad! I bolted it on there with 3/8 ×16 grade 8 bolts with a lock washer and got them very tight. His truck didn't come with one but I found one on marketplace. We're gonna weld the nuts on the new one. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    So it's happened, but I still don't get it. Someone stole my sons weight plate off his blazer he drives every day. I bolted that on about 6 months ago. We watched some videos of places he's been and go back a week and can see it's not there, so we have no idea when or where it got taken. So it's...

    Have had some good progress on the 2nd 1009 the last week. Got wheels and a tail gate painted and tires installed. The spare tire mount installed and the tail gate bolted on. Inside looks really nice. The lizard skin noise control in the back and the heat in the front should make this one easy...

    Got the rear painted up nice a few nights ago and applied lizard skin sound control. It really gets the job done and is easy to use. It goes on Grey then dries into almost black. It'll get painted flat black next week. We found his blazer is very loud in the back with no carpet and just metal...

    More surplus store scores today. Got the gm mount for the blazer fuel can in the back plus the pintle mount and cross bar for the back. He put new bolts in the pintle and wiring mount. It is fun finding this stuff since most of them don't look up what they fit and the price is great! Sent from...

    Got the rear diff fluid changed on the 1028 and swapped in a nos cover as well. It has 02/08 painted on it, I think the fluid was due for a change. I did change the other axle shaft seal, and it had the same paper stuff as a gasket, but not much was left. Kids painting all day, so he primed and...

    The gasket is tight on the bolts, so I'm hoping it seals it. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Yeah, sorry, I should have taken a pic of the part in the bag! Already installed it, but I bought 2 to do the other side, too. It is a pretty solid gasket. It's not paper, so I hope it lasts! Be curious if it'll crush 2 x if I have to remove it again. I used the old bolts...wondering if I should...

    I have that stuff too....I love it...this gasket is metal with some kind of gasket coating on it. I hope it works!! I did torque the bolts so hopefully it crushed tight. There wasn't much gasket or whatever they used left. My thought is the axle shaft might have been shifting a tiny bit and...

    So I got the axle seal from the parts store today and replaced it. I found all the bolts weren't all that tight. Came off with a quick hit with the impact. I did find a had the correct socket for the axle nut to remove it if I have to as well. I'm gonna change this diff oil this weekend. Sent...
