The volt meter you speak of. Is it in the cluster? And if so may I see a picture of it? And the vacuum control valve has 2 connections. Top to transmission and the bottom to the back of engine vacuum pump. The rubber block on the VCV does not need to be there. If it is cracked and leaking do a...

ACDelco Battery Group Size 31 1111 | O'Reilly Auto Parts (oreillyauto.com) Since the Delco group 31 Freedom battery was stock on the CUCV from the factory I would say go with it. Delco 1111 was the stock battery. Good Luck. The tray studs can be adjusted inward and outward to accommodate and...

the front battery negative cable seems to be going to the firewall Buss bar. I confused. Where would the stock CUCV front battery negative cable be attached? What I see in the picture is a stock 24 Volt CUCV battery cable hook up. It appears the resistors are still being fed 24 volt current...

I completed a full LED lighting conversion to my M1102 trailer. I cheated and done it in 30 minutes. I swapped out the incandescent bulbs for Stanley 12/24 LED bulbs.  It was that easy. I have the regular LED lamps and taillamps but will use them on another future project. I have this...

With the additional information I am going to guess a wheel cylinder or a rusted thru brake line. If it is rusted thru start at the front and replace all of it. It is easier now than waiting for the next blow out.

Excellent advice. And if the brakes have oil on them they are junk. Change them and correct the oil leak. Oil leaking has always been the issue with the rear drum brakes on the M1008-M1031. Do it right and use new axle flange seals also.

I was reminded today that it has been 2 years since I pulled this M1009 in the garage. Now I feel like I have been screwing off. Trust me I have not been. If this were my only project I would have been done in 30 days. I used to produce a refurbished CUCV every 45 days. And being that this one...

This is a collection of nomenclature tags from some of the CUCV's I parted out over the years. This is just a few of them. I have given a few away and used a few on CIUCV's that didn't have doors when I bought them. Just sharing for the fun of it. Have a Great Day. Painting and wood cutting has...

1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked. | Page 27 | SteelSoldiers Check out my post on the wiper switch removal and replacement. My advice is to have the column out of the vehicle and do it on a clean workbench. I explain why it must be out of the vehicle in my post. Good Luck. I hope I can...

I was out bright and early and set up all my parts. I hand sanded these parts over the past 3 weeks and I washed all of them with DX330. All the parts were sealed and painted by 12 noon. I went and had lunch and spent the rest of the day brush painting a barn. I brushed out 4 gallons of paint...

I started out in the barn last night and early this AM. You can expect a progress report to be forthcoming today. Have a Great Day and make the best of the cooler weather.

A piece of 3/4" plywood the size of the transmission pan and a floor jack is the only transmission jack I myself have personally owned. I removed and installed hundreds of transmissions with the same Snap-On 2 1/2 ton floor jack. 2 guys in 20 minutes can have that up in place on a solid floor...

1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked. | Page 4 | SteelSoldiers It really don't matter where the springs are made but I bought mine from Stanley Springs in Harrisburg PA. And I know they make the U bolts as you wait. And I am sure the man told me they make the springs from spring parts. I...

You need to get this kit and in 15 minutes after you have the sway bar you can have it on. I am sending you new correct bolts nuts and washers for the install. Good Luck. Clean up everything on them big bolts and get them lubed well.

Sometimes you need a stronger impact. Breaking a bolt that size would be a feat. A good shallow impact socket attached to a strong impact will get the job done. If you use a chrome socket you have lost more than half the effect of the strong impact. Add a deep socket even less and an extension...

The nice thing about a CUCV is that it is able to keep up with the electrical demands during plowing. I have plowed 24 hours straight a few years back when we were hit with 42" of snow and the CUCV's ran all night with the lights and heaters on high. I had a new GMC that I had to run with the...

I have run plows on now less then 20 CUCV's of different variants. They are the same as the civilian K30 and I never had any electrical issues. Stock Western Pro plows and a few Fishers. All worked out till the CUCV was dead. Then the plow and the truck went to the recycler.

3/8 in. & 1/2 in. Professional Impact Universal Joint Adapter Set, 2 Piece (harborfreight.com) Get this kit for the impact. Be safe.

Have you had the chance to get the bolts out of the spring top plates. That is a 1 1/8" bolt and you will need the bolts and all 4 of the flat washers. 2 flat washers on each side. One flat washer against the bolt head back side and the other flat washer goes from the sway bar to the top...

Rebuilt front drive shaft. Washer bottle and wiring harness properly secured. Right inner fender And I replaced the wires from the resistors and removed the resistors so I could check them for mud and insect nests. They are clean and I reinstalled them with a new wire from the left side. I...
