While I had the steering column out of the M1009 I decided it was time to repair the melted 30 amp fuse. I removed the bulkhead connection under the hood. Then I went under the dash and removed the bolts holding the fuse box to the firewall. Melted area. Same as usual. Next I had to split the...

In all fairness I was very careful during reassembly and cleaned and lightly oil things as I went. Getting the gear engaged in the lock pin for the steering wheel can be tricky. If it is 1 tooth off it will fit and make things very difficult to reassemble and disassemble to correct the error. Go...

CUCV's the final civilian based tactic diesel trucks. These are the voyages of CUCVRUS. His 35 year mission to fix or destroy all CUCV's that come his way. To seek new repairs and usable parts. To boldly try things that no other man is willing to attempt. The steering column. The master of all...

Well didn't I go and speak again when I should have turned and walked away. The m1009 plow truck at work would not shut off. The key switch was stuck in the on position. It would of course turn to the starter engaged position. Of Course it would but all the spray lubes and tapping were doing...

I still have the stock m1009 wheel and acquired 4 more from Facebook market on Wednesday. Let me know. I knew shipping one across country was a killer. I always seem to get people that are at the farthest reaches that need expensive heavy stuff and the guy down the road needs a starter bolt...

You should set the parking brake, block the wheels and place the transmission in neutral. I would remove the rear drive shaft and inspect the U joints up front and personal. Anytime you place the vehicle in park on the ground the joints are going to appear tight. Judging from the pictures it...

You can get anything you want on Facebook market place. I entered a search for a few things that I am looking for and I have been blessed. I found all these Chevrolet truck tailgates in the past 2 weeks. 2021 that the trailer came disconnected on. 2019 2500 High Country trailer hitch damage...

when you hook to the rear battery the sparks will fly. Because you have the front battery positive going to the rear battery negative and they don't get along well when you hook up that rear battery positive cable to the 12 volt positive jumper. I tried it once and the sparks flew. Danger...

The front battery is usually the only one that is dead when a 12 v item is left on. So standard jumping on the front battery of the CUCV is the same as a normal vehicle. DO NOT try that with the rear battery. Also keep in mind when you do the glow plug resistor bypass you have now made the front...

How about the vacuum pump hitting the firewall? Maybe. Also the throttle pedal could be dry and needs to be cleaned and lubed lightly. Hard to tell from here. But yes exhaust leak. Stuff rags in tailpipe's and see if that makes it louder? I think you have this. Good Luck.

Many opinions here. I have for the past 27 years of private ownership maintained the stock glow plug system with little or no issues. As things needed replaced I replaced them as they were. I didn't see any point in redesigning the system just to have something else fail in the future then stand...

If you still have the cGCV I'll bite. What is this thing you speak of?

Bell shaped drums was my next guess but I thought you would have guessed that. That is often a common issue and is greatly overlooked. On the newer vehicles the rotors have areas that are solid rust and the brake lining does not make contact in the rusty areas. Maintenance. I don't know anywhere...

It may be a mis-guided guess. But I wanted to put that out there.

You owe nothing. As you travel thru life you may come across an old State license plate or something odd. Send it my way. If NOT. No worries.

So you did receive the stud bolt? I hope it all works out for you. Keep me posted if you have any other needs.

Yes. The shorter shoes goes toward the front of the truck. You have a correct set pictured. Metric measurements work for me also. Check it out and make sure you have it correct. I am just putting that out there as an option or cause of the issue you are experiencing. We do a safety inspection...

Rarely you will find a civilian model truck, blazer, suburban model that had 4 idiot lights. They were rare. But I remember many fleet vehicles having that option because it came standard and cost less. Pickings on these 35+ year old trucks are far and few between at this point in time. If you...
