My Trail Boss started from the kitchen table while I was having coffee when it was -15 outside. Just messing with you. Glad things are working well for you. I am still in a hold position and trying to get motivated. Take Care.
You can clearly see the difference. Does it have resistance immediately upon compression of the lever? I mean immediately. It must have that. The eccentric on the cam will not compress any farther to get the delayed resistance on the curved lever pumps. Good Luck. I stock 2 of the correct pumps...
The top fuel pump is incorrect. The spring over the lever and the slight curve in the lever make it incorrect. It will fit on the CUCV perfectly but the eccentric on the engine does not depress the lever far enough to get fuel delivery. If you hold this pump in your hand and depress the lever it...
I had an M1009 snowplow truck dropped off at my barn. Owner said it won't start and he tried changing the filter and can't get it primed. I hopped inside and turned the key on. Fuel gauge over at 3 o'clock. I said
25 gallons later and it was off and running. He said it also has no brakes. I...
My M1009 would shift to second at about 25 and third at about 40. The M1028 shifts at different speeds it just depends how hard I have my foot pressing on the vertical pedal. I like to push hard, and it shifts perfect anyway I drive it. But on the M1028 anything over 50 and it will not down...
I bought a few CUCV's over the years that had the VCV bypassed, and it always resulted in indecisive shifts and slipping in and out of gear during the shifts. Most times when I had the VCV replaced and correctly programmed the transmission clutch bands had already suffered burnt clutches and a...
I never used fuel injection hose on a CUCV. They never had that from new and I am driving a CUCV M1028 from 1987 that still has all the original hoses on it. It is my daily driver for now. Oh Joy. Have a Great Day.

I was looking for new tires for my 2019 Silverado and I came across these tires in 31 x 10.5 15. Not the size for my Silverado but,
I think these would look great on the M1009. Summit is a dealer. $237.69 each.
Anyone has any...
They offered me a loaner car and I said no I will drive the CUCV. If it was spring/summer, I would drive the loaner. The lines are on national back order, and I still like my new trucks more than the old ones. Comfort and a place to set my coffee cup. have a Great Day. And no, I don't need any...
I am using the 1987 M1028 CUCV as a daily driver whilst my Silverado is in getting oil cooler lines changed. One would think by now that they can make oil cooler lines that will not leak. I made my own on a few CUCV's. Have a Great Day. Be Safe.
I think the whole thing would look better with a 3-color woodland camouflage CARC paintjob. The wheel opens will need a purpose. Very unique. This is NOT CUCV related. Have a Great Day. I am doing it one day at a time. Thank you for all the positive messages and support. It means a lot to me...
Happy New Year to all my friends and supporters. I have a huge loss to deal with and hope to return to my hobby when I can recover from my sorrow and loss. I will just park this here and as always. Good Luck and Be Safe. Take the time to pull friends and family closer and forgive and forget...
