    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    Comfortable ride with a CUCV. Yea I had a few. I was using my 2019 Silverado and tow barring CUCV's behind me. That was comfortable CUCV experience. CUCV's and comfort are oxymoron. Now CUCV and hard use and reliability are true statements. Happy Holidays.

    M1008 quick starting causes starter to grind - is this normal?

    The starter only seems to grind when you have the key on Lets hope it is not grinding with the key off. But there is no operator error. It should not grind. It's like anything else a little grind here and a little grind there and eventually you have an expensive item that requires a lot of time...

    M1008 quick starting causes starter to grind - is this normal?

    That starter was only on there for 1 weekend at Trucks Gone Wild 2017 Yankee Lake Ohio. I drove less then 20 miles and wore out all 4 wheel brakes.

    Courtesy Lamp Interior lights every on

    This is a grounding issue. It could be a defective headlamp switch. But the under the dash courtesy lamp on a CUCV is activated by completing the ground. You do NOT have door jamb switches as a stock item. Look for a screw into the wiring, pinched wire or other alterations to the stock wiring...

    M1008 quick starting causes starter to grind - is this normal?

    Sounds to me like 1 thin shim. But I had this issue back in the dark ages and I did find this post that was helpful. Not the same post but basically the same information. Shimming a starter (thedieselpageforums.com) Make sure you have a good starter and the bendix is operating as designed. I...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    The camera man had his truck parked to the left after failing to pull the truck out. He said "That's 'NOT going to pull it out" My co-pilot egged him on with the stock tires and no lift kit. I gave a good pull on the Bubba Rope and out it came. I purposely drove towards the cameraman. He is a...

    Looks like it has the original patina. I see CUCV's like this all the time and they advertise that it needs minor work. Happy Holidays.

But I have used a wedge clip in the past. the plastic ones were available from GM at one time of course they have long...

    Squibbly's M1009 and other Questionable Projects

    I think better puller with the pointed end and some decent bolts. Not sure.

    Squibbly's M1009 and other Questionable Projects

    You should haver a pointed puller to get that off. I never had any issues getting them off with a puller. That looks like it has been beat on at one time. No good. I have seen guys beat the shaft. Not sure where the issue is here. Have you used the correct puller? You are going to have to put...

    Best solution for a steering column?

    Check this thread out. All I will say is do NOT follow the instructions on You Tube for rebuilding a C K steering column. Pull the entire column and get it on a clean work bench. I have done it several times. Now I will remind you at first I failed but I studied hard on my own steering columns...
