Hello Again @CUCVRUS! I disconnected the speedometer cable and heard nothing. I hooked it back up and still heard nothing. I’m assuming it’s a bad speedometer head as you mentioned. I ordered a new one from LMC Truck. Let’s see if that does it and I’ll give an update later. Thank you! Sent...

Hello Again! I may have found someone with the outer skin of the cabin roof. He has a totaled Blazer. If I’m able to get it, I wanted to ask: how do I take off the outer roof skin? I will have to hire someone to put it into my CUCV, but first I need to get it off properly. Thank you for any...

This all sounds like a fantastic starting point. Thank you for the advice. All of the replacement parts should be here tomorrow so I’m hoping to start soon. I just don’t want to break the glass, so thanks CUCVRUS. I’ll report back! Here are pics of the broken part (since someone asked)...

The crank handle on the tailgate of my CUCV M1009 broke off. Now I can’t roll down the window. I need to roll the window down about an inch so I can lower the tailgate to take things apart to replace the crank handle. Is there any way to lower the window by hand, etc.? I appreciate any help...

p.s. the vacuum pump is Not making contact with the firewall. At least now I know where it’s at! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi CUCVRUS! I got a chance to look under the M1009 today. I just want to double check, I unscrew this end of the speedometer cable near the transfer case right? Then listen for noise, then screw it back it and listen again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is great advice! Thank You CUCVRUS! I’ll give you an update. :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Everyone, I’ve been hearing a rubbing/clicking sound from the speedometer area of my dash (CUCV M1009). The speedometer cable was replaced in December of last year along with the plastic gear with teeth and it’s housing (I don’t remover the name of that part). You can watch and listen to...

Thank you for the advice edpdx and nyoffroad. I’ve been searching for another fiberglass roof and metal skin. I may have a few possibilities, I’ll have to see how it pans out. nyoffroad, I have a silly question. You said “just DA it smooth..” What do you mean by DA? I’m not hip to the lingo I...

Hi nyoffroad! Thank you for the response and info. I’ll have to map out my game plan for all of this. I did find a used fiberglass top in PA, but I’m in California so I think the shipping will be a small fortune. Plus I’d have to remount the rack onto the replacement roof. I guess I now have...

I ended up being able to start the Blazer up with no problems. I’m assuming the flood light wasn’t on for very long. Still thank you all for the advice on how to jump start. I now know how to do that! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Everyone! I have a 1985 CUCV M1009. I noticed that the roof needs some love. The area above the back seat and towards the back window in particular. I’m fairly certain the roof in that area is made of fiberglass. Hairs of the fiberglass are a bit visible. Do you recommend any way to repair...

Thank You Thank You Scooter! I’m going to look for the valve via your pics. This forum and people like you are so helpful! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very interesting, please let us know about that Scooter once you have a chance. Thanks to everyone and their input. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Scooter! Thank You very much for this information! I will look into that and see about reattaching it or replacing it all together. Have a great day! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just a quick question. I’m still getting to know our 1985 CUCV M1009. I was tinkering around while looking at the batteries. Behind the radiator on the drivers side I found this wire and a round reddish looking piece (Picture on Left) on one end of the wire. The other end goes towards a plug...
