    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I used the body hammer and a piece of 1/4" plywood to get the channel opening more uniform and even. With the channel all clean and I don't have any unexpired adhesive I went and opened the rear glass I have. It is a 1990 K5 Blazer Dot Matrix tinted glass. It is not a perfect rear window but...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I kept digging the rubber tape and adhesive from the track until it was all out. You can see the adhesive had not adhered to the metal it had cured in the rust and dirt. No adhesion at all. Looking down over the length of the sash the channel was bent and uneven. The sash side guides were...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I can not believe how hot a humid it is. Is it me or is the grass growing several inches a week. I mowed 3 times in the past week. It rained several days and I still don't have mud in the fields. Hot and humid. I am working on an M1009 with an adhesive tint on the rear glass. The owner sent...

    Was looking for a shop in or near Milwaukee to work on M1008; then did it all myself!

    80/90 gear oil always worked for me. No need to break the bank. It lasted this long on standard 80/90 gear oil. Looks great inside and out. Keep going.

    It will but it requires a lot of fabrication work. And it will not be as strong as it was on the M1008. There is no way to attach all the braces and cross braces for the pintle hook. The Class 3 receiver on the rear of the M1009 is stronger then the stock Pintle could ever have been.

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

    Just get a new one. I never had any issues with the aluminum ones. If you secure them tight in the heater box and make sure you have the area clean you are golden. Getting a heater core rebuilt is not very cost effective. My personal experience has been that the aluminum ones seem to throw more...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    With the rain, heat and humidity I spent a few hours designing and building a rack for my CUCV bumpers. This is the 2nd floor of my barn. I also used some 5 ton folding troop seat brackets to make a 16 ft shelf above on the main horizonal beam so I could get the vinyl siding off the floor. That...

    2005-2006 Isuzu NPR Fuel Filter Housing - Fuel Delivery - Dorman 05-06 NPR Fuel Filter Housing - 124080-07798460 - PartsGeek I installed one of these Isuzu fuel filter assemblies on a customers truck because he didn't want to spend the cash on an original fuel filter base. It has a primer built...

    I was never impressed with anything I bought from LMC. But in some cases you must get by with what you can get. I never changed any seat belts. If they worked and were intact I just rolled with them. I use my seatbelts all the time and have since 1984. In 1984 I bought a new Chevette Diesel and...

    That is almost identical to the one I paid Snap-On $300. for 30 years ago. I added a few M6 bolts to mine because I work on a lot of Honda and Kubota stuff. Looks Good.

    M1009 LED Problems

    I found this picture under Google images. CUCV Fuse Box Diagram. The Blue circled is the 30 amp fuse slot that get melted all the time. Mess with that and check out your fuse. I never used any headlamp wiring upgrades. If I had an issue with the melted fuse I cut the wires and replaced the fuse...

    New M1009 Owner - Plans and advice

    Just make sure the lever has resistance immediately when you do compression. If it has any free play at all it is the wrong pump. I have seen the wrong pump in the right box. I even have 2 wrong pumps from the last time I needed one. The vendor sent me the right one and told me to discard the...

    1986 M1008 losing power

    The tank should be as near as possible to empty. Check out this thread. I just done a few M1009 fuel tanks in the last year. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucvrus-repair-projects.192437/page-13#lg=post-2372667&slide=1 Good Luck. I didn't see any hijacking. It is all fuel related to me.

    You don't need to remove the batteries. Just slide them from side to side. Come on man. You are a great student and learning so quickly. Easy gets the job done as a hobby. Tired makes it work and hateful. Just run a 1/4 20 thread chaser down thru the inner caged nuts and do it. I know you can...

    1986 M1008 losing power

    Fuel pumps or injection pumps? I do not think there is a defined time line as to when the pumps fail. I had brand new injection pumps fail in less than a year. I have removed some from engines and replaced them just because I didn't know how old they were. The lift pump I replace as a precaution...

    Was looking for a shop in or near Milwaukee to work on M1008; then did it all myself!

    Just an observation on the battery hold downs. If it were mine I would move the threaded rods into the inner support nuts in the tray. that would prevent them from sliding about and the positive terminals making contact with the negative hold downs and metal parts. just an observation and...
