    Seat covers for M1009 CUCV

    The seat covers have held up great. No signs of wear at all. I would highly recommend them and I would buy them again but I dont think I will ever need to.

    Seat covers for M1009 CUCV

    My M1009 CUCV seat bottoms were torn and showing signs of wear and I wanted something that was cloth to cut down on the sweating from contact with the vinyl. I looked at all the ones on this site made from canvas or other materials that either did not seem to cover the seat or did not fit very...

    Speedo Keeps Stripping

    I had a similar problem with the driven gear stripping....replaced it twice before I finally figured out it was the speedometer cable causing too much drag. I had pulled the cable out of the housing and greased it but the nylon (plastic) liner inside the cable housing was too far gone and...

    M1009 Speedometer Calibration

    I found one at a local transmission shop. A lot of the older shops will have parts stored away they have scavenged from previous work. That is where I was able to pick one up. My speedo cable was bad and it caused too much resistance and made the transfer case eat my newly replaced driven...

    After much cleaning, super gluing, greasing, and painting, I now have a working transfer case position indicator. :grin:

    Transfer case position indicator for M1009

    I need the sliding plastic indicator that shows what range you have selected on the transfer case. Mine has one leg broken off that is not big enough for gluing since a plastic chip is missing. I have found the indicators for the transmission column shifter but not for the transfer case...

    CUCV Replacement Heater Cores - No or Low Heat Output Reason

    Just an update as promised.....went driving around this weekend with temps in the mid to low 40's out....actually had to turn down the heat to half or less to stay cool...so the heater core swap has worked well.

    Shifting issues?

    It sounds like your vacuum modulator on your transmission needs adjusting. Remove the vacuum hose from the modulator, insert the proper size allen wrench and adjust, test drive, adjust, until you get it like you want it. If that doesnt get your shift points where you want them, follow the...

    CUCV Replacement Heater Cores - No or Low Heat Output Reason

    I am running about 50/50 mix. I checked it with one of the Prestone antifreeze testers and I was between 50-60% antifreeze. I will drive it more this weekend and let everyone know how it performs.

    CUCV Replacement Heater Cores - No or Low Heat Output Reason

    I would say the heat output is about the same, but it has been almost a year between using the old one since my leak occurred during the summer. Just be sure that when you install the Spectra core that it is centered over the opening in the air box for the core and that there is not a gap on...

    CUCV Replacement Heater Cores - No or Low Heat Output Reason

    I had to replace my heater core back in the summer because my original core was leaking. It has just now gotten cold enough to start requiring heat and I soon found out I was not getting heat like so many others on the site who have replaced their original heater cores. I did not want to spend...

    Well I think my speedo just killed itself....

    If the odometer still works, it is not the cable, the cable drives the gear that turns the odometer as well as the speedo......may be a piece of trash in the speedo itself. The speedo works by spinning magnets in very close tolerance around the rim of a metal cup on the shaft that is connected...

    peel & seal

    I called and spoke with the manufacturer to find out the specs on this stuff. The product that Home Depot sells and the Lowes sells comes off the same mfg line. No difference except for the packaging. So buy whichever is cheapest or whichever store is closest.

    Cooling Questions

    I agree you should check the other things listed in this thread first. I was having trouble getting heat in the cab, it was only lukewarm. After reading a lot of threads on here, it seemed I might have air in my coolant system, which it sounds like may be the same problem you have. Try to...
