    mystery leak at passenger side firewall, inside cab.

    I have greenish oily fluid leaking into the cab of my m1009 at the passenger side right at the firewall, has the insulation stuff soaked. Nothing visible on the underside, nothing on the ground. I was running my heat for the first time yesterday. Is this from the blower motor? What is this a...

    Yoke tool?

    Both seals on the front differential leak on my m1009. Where do I get the tool shown in the intermediate TM used to remove the yoke/pinion nut? Ive searced the local auto parts stores, but had no luck.

    I recieved my vent seal/weatherstrip in the mail, and it is a single continuous piece, said to be designed or blazers after 81'. Upon dissasembly of the vents on my m1009, I realized that mine has the two part type, with the fold down tabs that insert into the rear. Upon looking over the frame...

    Power Inverter here?

    My m1009 has the usual black and red wires going to where the radio equiptment was on the passenger side, by the bench seat. I have the TMs, but the electrical stuff leaves me a bit bewildered. I want a power inverter in my cucv. Can these wires power one? where is the best locaton, and how does...

    Anyone have an extra alternator rotor?

    The threads on my alternator rotor shaft got really damaged when I dropped it on concrete during its rebuild. Worked nicely for about twenty minutes, now wont stay tight. I need a new rotor with a good bolt. Anyone know where I can find one? Maybe I will just buy a whole new alternator, and put...

    Tailgate window crank assembly question

    I finally got it. The LMC drawing and parts work great, but differ slightly from the TM. I dont know why, perhaps the crank was redesigned later on. My problem was that I wasnt depressing the pawl far enough into the body to click in and mate up with the cylinder. Another task completed!

    Tailgate window crank assembly question

    Got it. I do have the TM and LMC's exploded drawings. Per the TM, it appears that the retainer clip that holds in the cylinder is what I appear to be missing. The LMC drawing also doesn't show the washer and spring washer in front of the clutch. Any Ideas on running down these parts? Is the...

    Tailgate window crank assembly question

    I recently purchased all applicable parts from LMC to assemble a new Tailgate window crank. My issue lies in the fact that I cannot make the clutch act as a clutch, it seems fixed (static), so long as the cylinder is in the body. Also, the key does not turn inside the cylinder, it just rotates...

    Alternator rebuild question?

    After finding that my Gen1 alternator light and oil light stay dimly lit after turning off the ignition, I did some searching and found that the gen1 was the likely suspect. Ive decided to rebuild, and printed the directions from the TM, and ordered the parts, seems like something I could...

    Need help with fuel system

    I had the same issue with mine. I replaced the fuel filtation with a Racor spin on. That solved the problem completely. The stock system is super problematic. Perhaps take a closer look at yours.

    Crank pulley and belt replacement?

    I have read the tm's. (unit and int.) The unit manual simply states "remove four bolts" but doesn't address the issue of bracing the pulley so it doesnt turn as you attempt to loosen the bolts.( I dont want to damage anything) As for the power steering pump, the manual does describe the use of a...

    Crank pulley and belt replacement?

    My m1009 has a bent crank pulley, so I found a new one. I thought I may as well replace the belts, and perhaps even the torsional damper/ harmonic balancer while I am down there. I have some questions. 1. What is the best way to keep the crank pulley from rotating when I try to turn the bolts...

    Needs spin on fuel filter advice

    I have tried the 35 mm freeze plug fix to my fuel filter housing, but it still leaks. I want to replace it with a stanadyne spin on. Here are my questions: 1. What model stanadyne fits an M1009 Blazer? 2. On my standard filter housing, my intent was to eliminate the fuel pressure sensor. Of...

    CUCV Starting issue

    I have a m1009 that initially starts at first attempt, then sputters out, and then is difficult to start. My reading on the batterys while running is just over 13v, nothing while not running. Lots of squealing immideiately after starting as well. I would also like to know my best coarse of...

    "New to me CUCV" questions

    Bought a m1009 today, drove it home (about 160mi.) It seems to really tac out before it shifts, and when it finally does, shifts a little hard. It appears to have a new modulator, new fluid and a new pan. I am very limited in my knowledge of these or any vehicle, but truly wish to begin to...

    Where is this auction?

    I recently spoke to a small car dealership in MS. They spoke of an auction that will occour on/ around April 15th and 16th, and then one auction a month will occour thereafter. I am in the market for a cucv, and would like to find his source directly if possible. I know he isn't going through GL.
