Let the EV hate begin. I am in the process of trading my Trail Boss in on a new Silverado EV WT4. Tired of buying gas and time for a change. Plugged it not the barn overnight just because I can. This has a 9900gvw and 18” 8 lug wheels. 0-60 in 5 seconds. I was the first person in my...
Listen up. OEM CUCV starter bolts may not be available but OEM GM 6.5 stater bolts and support bracket are still available. I have worked with vehicles all my life and I used a 1996 Chevrolet 6.5 turbo G3500 van as Model to get parts for the starter bolts, this the support bracket bolt that...
I was at work and I heard someone drive up in the CUCV M1028 we have been beating for 25 plus years. I could hear it coming from a mile away. Anyway he shut it off and went and did some work. When it started it up and drove away I heard the strange sound the starter made engaging. I seen it...
Somewhere along the line I ended up with a cracked frame on my M1102 trailer. Not sure how I am going to fix it or if I want to. It must have been like that for a while. I hauled a lot of firewood in that trailer. This is the first one I ever seen broken. Like my Dad used to say I could break...

Sezzo I think that this is the answer we were looking for. Let me know how to proceed.
I dove right in after church and took the entire column apart and cleaned it. I also spent an hour scrubbing the steering wheel. I want it to look as OEM as possible and I installed the key sensor back in the column. I think the column looks great. I am not going to paint the column. I will be...
I have done my research and by disassembling another CUCV steering column and studying the contacts in question on my current column I can affirm that it is a key in ignition sensor and would not have worked on a CUCV because it does not have door jam switches to complete the ground to active...
I think that thing that I have on the towel is for the key in ignition buzzer. I never seen that on a CUCV. I am wondering if being this was built 8/83 as a first-year production M1009 if that was eliminated. Same as this having chrome wing vent handles on the front doors. I had it 25 years +...

I googled steering column rebuilders.
This is the piece that I am unknowing of. I still can’t get the lock cylinder out. No screw and I watched a dozen you tube videos. First CUCV I seen without a stew holding the lock cylinder in.
I really struggled getting the snap ring off the lock plate. I am done for today. I may contact the rebuilder again or try and figure out how this little contact goes in place.
Well rebuilding the column has become more of a challenge then I anticipated. The lock cylinder on this M1009 is not held in with a retaining bolt and I can’t get the lock cylinder out. I have a conundrum with a gadget that provides the ground for the horn. I was going to send this column out to...
