I have been venturing back out to my barn. I am making slow progress getting things cleaned up and cleared out of the way so I can work on tractors and lawn equipment. I want to get my M1009 project completed for its 40th anniversary. The set back in December is still fresh on my mind. Take...

Happy Easter to all. Hope to see you in church. Take Care.

These are bigger cabs than the CUCV K30 but still a cool picture. Happy Easter.

I had rubber hydraulic lines made and tucked them up tight against the floor pan. They have been working for a few years now on a snow plow truck. I like the ease of running them and the fact that they flex. I know they don't cool like the steel ones but that has not been a problem. bending new...

Like I said whatever it takes. Each swollen glow plugs may present its own challenge. Being careful and know how hard tom pry is the key to getting them out safely. Good Luck. All methods of removal are acceptable. As long as you are not just breaking them off.

Do not pry and risk dropping the tip of the glow plug into the combustion chamber. Simply attempt to remove the swollen glow plug. If it becomes risky you can remove the fuel delivery nozzle from the effected cylinder and use a curved jaw vise grip or a set of locking hemostats and attach that...

I have the metal bracket also. I think I lost that in the translation. Heck, I have the entire steel dash cut out.

28 years of driving CUCV's and never used anything but the Ac Delco 13G. I never walked anywhere or had exploding glow plugs. It's sounds exciting. What must I do to have my glow plugs explode? I just want to be able to say I been there and done that. I did convert several back to stock with the...

Any radiator that cools the engine, fits and don't leak is a cool radiator in my world. I don't care if it is made in Katmandu. If it is and I need it Katmandu is the one I do. Take care stay cool. and when changing radiators always take a close look at the isolator mounts. If the radiator is...

In God We Trust was the winning combination for this fix. Honest Abe doing what no fuse can do. Keeping the power flowing.

I finally fixed that 30-amp fuse for the lighting. It was a cheap fix. Stays tight and does not melt the plastic.

I probably have the plastic trim piece, and it is cut for an M1009, but the radio plates are MIA. I threw them away years ago when I bought my first surplus CUCV's. Same as the antenna brackets and all the rear cargo covers with brackets and bows. I didn't know. I was building snowplow trucks.

I was looking thru my tools and trying to locate the correct socket for the GM 14 bolt rear axle nuts. I could not find it. I remember loaning it out and must have never had it returned. It was a Snap-On of a Lisle. I can't remember. But if you have the correct socket, it makes a world of...

My experience has been to disconnect the speedometer cable from the speedometer head unit and pull the inner cable out of the housing. Clean the cable and housing well. I even went as far as disconnecting the cable at the transfer case and blew compressed air thru the housing. Closely inspect...

Real CUCV's don't have A/C in the driver's cab. Never needed it. M1010 had it and you could A/C the cab with the access door open. Have FUN. I still like the bone stock CUCV's best.

Like I said I am just copying from the manual. Makes no difference to me. Not sure why 10w30, 15w40, and 30w, would be good but they pointed out 10w40 as not good. just pointing it out for debate. Have a Great Day.

Everybody on here likes to quote technical information. This is from the GM 6.2 manual I have from GM school back in the early 80's. The GM 6.2 service manual did recommend 10W30 during the winter months. The manual did say to avoid the use of 10W40 engine oil but to retain 15W40/SAE 30 for hot...
