    Swollen glow plug removal

    Plus one for the Glow Plug removal tool. I was pulling all of mine to put in some 60G plugs. The guy that had it before me put some cheapies in and the one that was stuck was different from the cheapies so I'm betting it was stuck when he changed them as well and he just left it.

    1985 CUCV M1009: Best replacement transmission

    Well that gives me good food for thought. That 28ft belongs to my father in law. I just didn't want to have to buy one if i could borrow one a couple times a year. Even if I bought one it would have to be atleast a 20ft and I just dont know if 8ft is going to make enough difference.

    1985 CUCV M1009: Best replacement transmission

    Well it has helped me out. I believe after all this I may just order a good b&m or red alto rebuild kit for my th400 and add an external trans cooler.

    1985 CUCV M1009: Best replacement transmission

    No gears have been swapped yet. I was thinking about going up to 4.10 before I start pulling the trailer though. Or possibly finding a 14 bolt rear. I only run 33x12.50 R15 on Gunny though

    1985 CUCV M1009: Best replacement transmission

    Does the 4l80e bolt right up and what all is there to installing the standalone trans controller. I do plan on pulling a 28ft bumper pull camper from time to time so it may be worth doing the 4l80e if there isnt a whole lot to making it work.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Im pretty sure the shift between 2nd and 3rd had been feeling very spongy for a while plus there was the big white cloud of burnt trans fluid that was behind me before I realized it went and just started shifting between 1st and 2nd but I dont fix things until they break. I was expecting it to...

    1985 CUCV M1009: Best replacement transmission

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Alright well over the weekend I drove Gunny to Fayetteville,Ga. I figured out another issue on the way back. Gunny needs a transmission I lost 3rd gear in Whitesburgh,Ga. He still made it all the way back to Alabama pulling a trailer and motorcycle. When you lose 3rd in a 3 speed trans your top...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Got invited to a band performance at a local Country Club/Marina you should have seen the security guards face when I rolled up in Gunny. He was ready to turn me around till he realized I was on the list. It was awesome seeing Gunny parked among alot of BMW's, Mercedes, and Cadillacs and the...

    M1010 Interior color

    I was hoping it would be a little darker. Looking at the comparison between your dash and kick panel. If I cant find anything closer around the same price point that may be the way I go though. Thanks for the pics.

    M1010 Interior color

    I appreciate that. I am not necessarily worried about absolute factory original color. I look more at price point and how close is close enough for me. I want something thats close enough that will last and doesn't break the bank. Rvitko's interior looks great as does yous but as he said he...

    M1010 Interior color

    I know I can't stand my interior being different colors. All of mine is going to match eventually. That SEM looks good though

    M1010 Interior color

    Proper prep is where most people fall short which shows in quality and longevity. If I find another seat I may experiment on my current one first.

    M1010 Interior color

    Looking on there website its supposed to be able to be used on seats as well and be pretty tough. I hope this is the case i would like to spray the whole interior to match

    M1010 Interior color

    The color option number was 776i - BRON is what it says on the options for my M1009 and I believe the colors were all the same. I am assuming BRON is brown not really sure.
