I still have a few M1009 stock steel wheels. Originals.

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucvrus-repair-projects.192437/page-18#lg=post-2386184&slide=1 See if this helps you. It is an inexpensive switch that snaps on the bottom side of the steering column. 2 wires and that is all. Good Luck.

The brake lights and trailer brakes are just a simple switch that activates when when the pedal is activated.

Just a little tip. Make sure your fit and adjust the door before welding all that together. With that much steel removed from the main body structure that door way can change shape and the entire body tub can sag. Fit the door and correct as needed before welding everything up. That is even to...

Todays helpful tip of the day. Easy fix for brake lights and trailer brakes. And it's a Chevy truck. It works.

If it were me. I would disassemble the cluster from the front and avoid taking that potato chip fragile cluster housing out. Not sure why you would want to remove the cluster to replace the speedometer cable. If you release the friction clip on the back of the speedometer head you can pull the...

When I was younger I could break an anvil. I still can if I try. But now I have JR. to do it.

I have looked everywhere and I know it must have been covered before. I just missed it.

I put an engine in one for a friend and I received it all apart and had to figure it out for myself. After I had the engine in and running I took it for a ride with the engine cover still missing. I was going about 50 MPH and I thought " Where is your brain?" "What were you thinking?" That 6.2...

A genius idea for tightening the alternators and power steering pump on the CUCV. I always loved how some Japanese vehicles have the perfect nut bolt and lock pulley as an adjustment system on belts. I must admit the first time I encountered one I was baffled and it just about kicked my arse...

You are doing great. Make sure to remove the glow plugs while you are priming the new injection pump. While you are waiting double check and replace all rubber fuel lines. Good Luck. We are all here to help. I like the un hacked stock wiring harness. It looks Great. Keep in touch and update as...

I just took one for a ride yesterday afternoon. I thought I was reentering the earths atmosphere in an empty tin can. Scary. I did not buy it. It had more problems then I was willing to take care of. I think it had back axle halves or cupped tires. The tires were like new but old age wise. Have...

A very fitting decal for in the CUCV. I don't have my old M1009's anymore but I think this is appropriate. Have a Great Day.

Never work any old transmission in reverse. It has no clutches just a brake band and they do not like to be worked. I had many plow trucks that went forward and shifted perfect but the reverse band was worn out from back dragging. Not my truck and you can do as you wish. But I just wanted top...

I would use a 15/16" socket on the main front bolt of the crankshaft. Turn it clockwise but do remove the glow plugs to remove and prime the injection pump. It makes things so much easier. And I never had to crank very much to get it primed. I just leave all 8 nozzle nuts loose and cranked 30...

Timing is as simple as lining up the pump line with the line on the timing cover. May need moved back a line or 2 but most times line on line gets it done. Good Luck. If it takes an entire weekend I would be sad. But if you don't need a core I would let all the lines hooked up to the pump until...

You can do this. Yes the intake must come off. Take a few pictures and write notes to boost your confidence. No wizardry here. Everything fits together easily and no special tools are needed. Most is 13mm & 15mm deep & Shallow socket, 15mm swivel socket, 15mm wrench, a 16mm or 5/8 line wrench, a...

It is simpl. I can walk you thru it. I have convinced many here to do it. Don't watch YouTube. They do it the hard way.

From here it is centered and leaking from the injection pump into the block valley under the intake and out the weep hole at the rear of the black valley and coming out the flywheel / torque converter cover hole. Please grade me on my wild guess. Thank you. And no use doing the I will dance...

OK. I went and picked up a customers M1009 that I had at the transmission shop for the differential overhaul and the TH400 transmission. Ouch it hurt to pay that bill. The issues was it had a lo speed big clunk on occasion and spit transmission fluid out and sprayed the gate with ATF on long...
