Hey guys, my M1009 is currently in the shop getting some work done (Rebuild throttle body and injector pump) Its been there for 4 days now, they are still waiting to get a rebuilt injector pump and havnt had much luck so far. I was just wondering where you guys got your pumps rebuilt. Maybe I...
Where is your overflow bottle located? Mine is located on the drivers side next to the radiator and i believe it has the cap on the right. My 88 R30 crew cab and my 89 k-5 both have the cap on the left
Suburbans are only 1/2 and 3/4 ton so you will not find a dana 60 there. You can't put dually hubs on a 3/4 ton front axle, only dana 60 front. The dana 60 front you want will be from a 77-87 K30, 77-91 K30 crew cab, or M1008 and its other variants. You can use single rear wheel axles and the...
Agreed. 3.08s and 37s arent that great. I cant imagine offroading with that setup. I am running that setup on my daily driver m1009. I would like to swap axles, just dont have the $$ for it now and this setup aint too bad when Im on the highway which is what I drive mostly.
It really depends...
Answers above ^^^ I am running the 37s on my M1009 with a set of black steelies I bought through summit. Check out trailworthyfab.com He can get the tires for cheap and he can even get hummer wheels and recenter them with 6-lug centers for your 1/2 ton axles. I searched and couldnt find a 6 to...
Ok, I will look into this. I stopped by a diesel repair shop before work and one of the workers and I took a look at it. Of course by the time I got there it was barely leaking at all. But it does appear that the leak is coming from the throttle shaft. He said he can rebuild it but I would have...
On my M1009, it started leaking fuel around the black plastic piece that bolts to the side of the injection pump. How do I go about fixing this? Can I just replace the plastic piece and call it a day? I took a picture of the area I'm talking about. I gotta leave for work in 2 hours. Would like...
Hey guys, I want to replace some of the exhaust on my m1009 thats starting to rust out. The front half looks like its in pretty good shape but the back half....not so much. Is there a kit out there that you recommend? Any kits that dont fit good and I should stay away from? Also looking to...
Just to clear some things up;
The following companies make a shackle flip:
www.offroaddesign.com
www.diy4x.com
www.sky-manufacturing.com
www.twiztedengineering.com
As for springs 73-87 1/2 ton trucks came with 52" rear springs. 3/4 ton came with 52" rear springs or 56" rear springs if...
Check the condition of your rear springs real good before you order the shackle flip!! I was installing the brackets on the truck and was hammering something when a piece of metal hit me in the head. I look up to see a piece of the leaf missing where it wraps around the bushing!! I go to the...
I wouldn't say cheapest. I have b52s on my trail rig and a long travel front driveshaft and crossover steering are a must if you plan on flexing the suspension at all.
I just received the last piece I need to lift my daily driver m1009. Im lifting it 4"s and putting 37" hummer tires on it. I...

Thank you very much! I had not seen that wiki yet. I used that FAQ awhile ago to figure out which glow plug relay I needed to swap my original for. Since then I have had a little problem. When I turn on the key the gps light for about 2 seceonds, then off for about 2 then on for 2 and it does...
Hey guys I'm not new to 73-87 chevys but I am new to CUCVs. I bought an 86 m1009 late last year and have been loving it ever since!! I was wondering if there was a way to find out where this vehicle may have been stationed during its military life?
Two other questions, what is the plate for...
