ehuppert - Thanks - Getting close to knowing what I need and where to get it. Checked out Denny's and they need to know if shaft is 30 or 35 tooth spline. Also Anyone: need some help with TM's (this has been the case before so I'm missing something I know (my brain I know). So go to what I...

Thanks CUCV I'm fine with no four wheel drive and even if we get some good snow I can chain up. Just have to have it fixed by spring. Like May 1st say. Driving snowgoes and dogs now mostly anyway. Just need a place to buy them, new or used in good shape. Got a friend in Fairbanks looking also. Stan

That is good info to know. In all my looking around on this site and looking at manuals I never picked that up. Thank You, Stan

CUCVUS CUCVUS - The yoke hole where the u joint goes is egg shaped somewhat now from the "accident" and so will not take a new U joint. The yoke/shaft on the tire side is also scuffed up some and now think it best to replace that also even though I think a U joint may fit again as the original...

That is what I found also. Also does it matter as I supposedly have a 1986??

Thanks got seal on list - Napa seemed confused and did not have one in stock so we'll try elsewhere.

Thank you all - you are incredible. CUCVUS - I will get a good picture - sounds like I may just be able to buy one pretty reasonably. ehubbert - Those are the babies - one of the long ones. Thanks for the hints on extra parts needed. MarcusOReallyus - Good to know that - I keep getting...

My M1031 been doing good for a while but recently some rough four wheeling snapped the u-joint on my front driver side axle shaft (the longer one) and damaged the yoke holes pretty good on the axle shaft end. Driving it in two wheel still but tonight it's stuck in my driveway from no four wheel...

Rusty Just let me know when and I'll make sure you got a boat ride across the Yukon to the village.

After 2 years of limping around trying to work my truck with a cracked transmission and cracked adapter all held together with a 2x6 I have finally got it fixed. Help from people on this site to get a new HD case and find an aftermarket adapter and locating a great transmission shop in Fairbanks...

When I first got my CUCV and was working out the bugs it had very little heat even with cardboard in front of the radiator. I figured it was because it was a diesel engine and I'm in cold Alaska fall. Then I saw that regular Chevy thermostats get put in some times and the CUCV needs one that...

Rusty So you would not put this mount in the same department as those frame mounts that people say held the transfer case too firm and actually added to the problem of broken transfer case mounts or rear transmission cracks. Is it because it flexes enough. If so I'll get one as they don't stick...

Today was a good day. After more than a year looking for a TH400 to 205 transfer case adapter found and bought one on Hillbilly Wizard (figure 8 one). They are aftermarket and aluminum and supposedly stronger than the original which are very rare due to many breaking. I also cracked the rear of...

Thanks Rusty, -you are a wealth of quality knowledge. I'll get a used good one. Stan

Yes keep an eye out for one. I got the truck without a transfer case support bar and the two inspection cover bars also but have all those now. Question: The transfer-case adapter has some bad cracks where some of the bolts go through but if that steel can be welded I can do it or have an expert...

Rusty, The crack happened when the roads were real muck and we had to power through to not get stuck last year. One hole I hit the roof and hurt my head and as soon as I got to the dry road and sped up I had a wicked vibration. Drove to a garage and jacked it up on all fours and ran the...

Missed it. We had graduation here in the village tonight. Sounds like they showed it from your post. I can do 35 below if I plug in the 1000 w block heater for say 5 hours and throw an old blanket over the engine. Don't like doing it though and usually try to shut trucks down once the real cold...

Thought I better post - some of you get a kick out of military trucks getting on the Yukon Men show. This is a Discovery photo ad so looks like my CUCV will be on tonight. This one is real and still living with what happened (can't tell) and even got some help from some on this forum. So tonight...

You should get a kick out of it Rusty having worked on a particular part of the truck so much . Can't say more. Stan

Long time no post. Been real busy I guess but wanted to let fellow CUCV owners that the truck I have and was aired on the Discovery show Yukon Men last season will be on again starting this Friday night as best I can figure. Totally real what happened to it and dealing with it right now after...
