    Jefferson City 6.2l engine - WON! anybody want ahaul it for $100?

    For a short test run of less than a minute, there would be no reason for the radiator, coolant or water pump to be hooked up.

    Well, after wanting one for a year, I think I am about to bid on a CUCV

    Last batch of trucks that sold in California were going for $200-300 each... it is also a lot closer than Maryland.

    new here, 1009 has bad crank, need new motor or rebuild

    There is a good chance the crank took out the block with it, but other than that the rest of it should be reusable.

    Good Looking Removable Top

    Most guys usually end up giving those things away for free... the sliding glass side windows are usually the only thing worth $50-75.

    Danger RPM for highway driving

    I just took my truck on a 3000 mile road trip hauling a small flatbed with my motorcycle on it. I stayed at 60-65 mph the whole time. I was happy with how my truck did on the long drive until I hit a mountain pass. However, it would be nicer if I had an OD transmission, that would have put me in...

    Danger RPM for highway driving

    I believe the governor is set to 3200 RPM, you can run at the governor all day long if you want, but don't expect any kind of mileage. That is also a good RPM to kill the 6.2L if the bottom end is starting to crack in the crank or block. You will definitely not be happy with running 3100 RPM on...

    Anyone have some rear springs for a 109

    I would take them off of a 3/4 ton truck and remove one leaf... then you won't have issues with sagging anymore.

    new here, 1009 has bad crank, need new motor or rebuild

    Good to hear, I would have grabbed both of those motors if they were not 3000 miles away right now.

    Rear differential axle gasket

    Nope, no difference if it is the original axle. The oval 10 bolt is a 7.5" ring gear (S10 and car applications) while the nearly round, but slightly oval 10 bolt has an 8.5" ring gear and was only used in the trucks. Axle Identification Chart

    Rear differential axle gasket

    It is just a 10 bolt axle that uses the same cover and gasket for the front and rear axles in all Chevy 1/2 ton trucks from 1982-87... I think I have a 10 bolt Napa gasket in my garage somewhere that I have never used. It is always easier and less hassle to just use RTV when I'm working on...

    steering column

    You should not have any issues. Is the wiper switch on the column in your M1009 (Sorry but CRS is kicking in at the moment)? If that is the case, then it should all be the same.

    Wanted to Buy -CUCV M1009

    Look on Craigslist. There is one in the south sound for $1000 in need of a motor and tranny.

    lift q for 33's

    Another factor to consider is how bad have your factory springs sagged under the weight of the diesel. If they are sagging pretty bad, then you may want new springs anyway. However, I have 37" tires on my pickup with only a 2" lift. The fenders were neatly trimmed and welded up. Most people...

    Head liner in the M1008

    That would hurt the first time I hit a bump and bounced a little sideways... I've already hit my head on the roof on rough roads. Looks good though.
