After I had both of the inner fender aprons installed, I wanted to get the parts attached to the inside of the fenders. I dug out some wire harness retainer clips and cleaned them up and installed the headlamp wiring harness to the left inner structure of the fender. There are some parts on...

Terminus M1009 | Page 5 | SteelSoldiers Check out this thread. I used a strip of 12-gauge galvanneal steel and welded it all the way across the top of the gate. I stich welded it, and it made the gate tough again. Actually, tougher than when it was new. Check out the pus case gate I started out...

I have been rained out on my barn painting job for today. I went down to the assembly barn and installed the inner fender aprons back into the M1009. These are the OEM fender aprons that I had powder coated 25 years ago. I have procured a set of used batteries just to get the project rolling...

OK from my view I am seeing a normal 6.2 diesel idling. Now slowly increase the RPM's and see if that belt stops bouncing, and everything aligns harmonically. That has been my experience. I had guys open the oil cap at idle and tell me the engine had excessive blow by. Then I would accelerate a...

Now that is fancy. I never had any fancy grease gun adapters like that. Every CUCV owner should have this fitting/adapter and use it semiannually. Amazon.com: Performance Tool W54216 4" Grease Gun Needle Nose Adapter : Automotive The CV joint on the front drive shaft up at the transfer case...

As I mentioned before I wanted to clean the shop and get some yard work completed. The work bench was a disaster. No room to walk along the sides of my project. Amazing this all happens in 2 weeks of normal duties. I make wine crates and bushel crates as a side job and my day was almost cut...

1/4"‑28 The most common standard grease zerk size is 1/4"‑28 SAE‑LT and is often used in automotive applications. They can also be found in agricultural environments as well as other various standard duty applications. For heavy-duty applications, larger 1/8"‑27 PTF grease zerk fitting sizes...

I am outside multi-tasking again. I have all good intentions and many things I can do. After a long, hot, dry time here to mow the lawn again. I have saws to put away and hope to make some progress on the M1009 over the weekend. First, I must clean the shop again and get all my tools put away...

Meet Mr Rusty | Page 5 | SteelSoldiers May I recommend that you replace all 4 leaf springs as you rebuild the truck. It makes a world of difference on these old trucks. It gives the OEM firm ride and drivability back. Even sitting parked empty, it has held that weight for over 35 years. Just an...

SSDVC Your m1009 has Line X sprayed in it. I had several CUCV's done in Line X. I did the DIY brush in liners and regretted it both times. The one was Durabak and the company rep used my M1009 truck as a model for a truck show and it looked good for the first year and then I discovered rust...

I understand what you are saying. I am just puzzled that the same issues is still present with new major parts installed. Could it be the timing chain? I never dealt with that as most of the vehicles I dealt with were years newer and less mileage then what is coming on market now. And back then...

I have ask this before and you may have answered. Did you go front to back on the fuel system? I mean in the tank and trace every feed line and every return line. Few times do I do a major repair and change major parts only to find that the pre-existing issue is still present with the same...

OK , we are talking minor weight differences. Spare tire included, jack in place. 6TL batteries vs group 31. Fair enough. Close enough. I will give you scrap price for 3 tons and we can forget about the 323 lbs. You win.

I shipped them and they weighed 5900lbs. empty. Add troop seats and roof bows and it gets heavier.

Really a $69. rebuilt torque converter and you are going to risk the whole job? Spend the coin and move on with confidence and not doubt. There is more than $69. worth of ATF in that transmission. Any job worth doing is worth doing right the first time. Money is a tool. Use it wisely. Good Luck.

On a CUCV all the TH400 cases and internal parts are the same. I have had many that had HD embossed on the bell housing section and many more that did not. The HD is the bottom half of the bell housing is threaded with M10 bolts for the lower flexplate/ flywheel cover. I have bought new TH400...

Get the bolts and washers out of the clamping plate and retain them. What about up on the frame the clamping clamps? One on each frame rail up front. I have the sway bar. Get back to me about the retainers for the sway bar. Again take some pictures.

That plastic strip was factory. I scraped and sanded a lot of them out.
