I spent the past 2 nights attempting to get the lug studs from a 2007 VW Jetta. I was only successful in getting 8 of the 20 studs loose and off. I broke 2 1/2" Snap-On breaker bars, 1 1/2" Craftsman Breaker Bar, 1 1/2" Wizard breaker bar, 1 Snap-On 1/2 ratchet, 5 1/2 to 3/8" adapters, I split 4...
GMC Truck Vinyl Dash Pad \u003e Dash Pads (huzshop.com)
Any thoughts. Looks like an economical way to fix this.
Not every CUCV is deserving of a $500.+ dash pad. Just a thought.
It is yours. I stored it for the past 25+ years and came across it during a few searches. Over winter I am going to do more organization to my parts. It is never ending and I must follow thru putting things away as I acquire them and as I disassemble vehicles. The last parts CUCV I have is...
Here is a strange attachment I removed from a CUCV many years ago. It was attached at the lower ashtray bolt area and up to the dash bracket on an M1009. I just have it hanging here near the place it belongs. It is a heavy-duty anti ashtray using bracket. I don't like the smell of cigarettes...
OK you need the 6-bolt torque converter flywheel. This one will work. CHEVROLET ATP Automotive Z-136 ATP Flexplates | Summit Racing
Get 4 bolts prefer grade 8. They should be 4" long. Remove everything that attaches the transmission to the engine and frame. Remove the bolts at 9 o'clock, 11...
Just in for lunch. I am going to go out and get the left inner apron cleaned up and ready to install. I was going to do the right, but I will be removing the heater box assembly. This will make things easy. pictures later. My goal is to get the heater box out and get the speed clip nuts into the...
You do know that the flywheel and flex plate on these trucks are one in the same. CHEVROLET 6.2L/379 Flexplates - 139-tooth Ring Gear Tooth Quantity - Free Shipping on Orders Over $99 at Summit Racing
It can be changed without dropping the transmission. My experience has been if you have the...
The body is centered and tight on the frame. Everything aligned fairly easy with ratchet straps front and rear. The Energy Suspension body mounts do not collapse and tighten as easy as the old school rubbers. I think they will need to be tightened and checked on occasion after being put into...
I believe that is a HMMWV coolant crossover manifold. I have brand new ones in the plastic. Do you like that? It does the same thing as the CUCV. It is far from the position to put a temperature gauge sending unit. Head temperature is the place you want to tap for an accurate reading of engine...
I have my Flea market friend here and he is going to give me a hand getting the body centered and tightened down on the M1009 project. I did not trust attaching the inner wheel well aprons with the body loose. They do have a bond between the core support and the main body, and I need to keep the...
OK. I slept on it and after considerable thought and availability of resourses/parts that will look and fit properly I have opted to totally remove the firewall insulation and leave it out. Really this is no set back. I had several CUCV's that I removed it totally from and drove them year-round...
