    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    After my successful run at getting the locked up Honda engine running I was feeling like working on my project. Any step forward is a step in the right direction. I am proud of my Genuine GM sheet metal and the mud and dirt from Folk Polk are still under the fender after 26 years of being stored...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    After being in on the chair since Monday I decided to therapy myself back at the job. First thing was the Honda engine. It was FREE and that is always good. It was scrapped and supposed to be locked up. It was locked up all right. It was upside down and on its side a few times. When I picked it...

    I have not lost my mind. When I say inner fenders I am referring to the inside of the drivers fenders. I never sand inner fender aprons. I scuff over them and coat the with Rusfree undercoating or opt to get them professionally powder coated. I had these original GM inner fenders powder coated...

    I have been off sick again. I went a was retested at the managements request. Even the Dr's are tired of testing people over and over again. I mean 2 years ago people got sick they got better. I was at 2 rock concerts and I was exposed to many germs. I tested negative and am sitting it out in...

    For anyone needing new wheels for your M1009 8 inch wide

    NOT at all. I don't care if I sell them or NOT. I will use them on my many on going projects. I am just pointing out that I seen the knock offs and they are not what I would use on my M1009. I mean I have a choice of stock GM rally wheels and still opt for the original M1009 wheels. Say what you...

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

    Hey like I always say. You Can Do IT. you proved that already. I use a 15mm swivel socket or a 12 point box wrench. Just give it a slight twist. Good Luck.

    For anyone needing new wheels for your M1009 8 inch wide

    It only costs a few dollars more to get the 100% authentic no questions ask original. I have a few of them if anyone ever gets the urge. Stock GM M1009 wheels with the hub cap notches. Good Luck with the Korean wheels.

    This may be a dumb question but have you tried changing the injection pump timing? I would try that. Move it to the drivers side 1 or 2 line thicknesses and give it a try. What could happen? At this pint you have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Just put it back if it don't help. But I...

    You are missing the adapter. And I would just stick with the NP208 transfer case. They hold up well. Most NP205 were used for the PTO capability. I will PM you. I have the adapter also.

    I have everything you need. I will get a shipping price on the crossmember and skid plate. Lets move our dealing to PM going forward. Click on my user name CUCVRUS and follow the instructions. Thank you. I have the drive shafts also. I will PM you here immediately. Be Safe.

    I guess just loosen them while the engine is running one at a time to find the offender. Good Luck. Not an exhaust leak?

    These rear mounts on the back frame of the M1009. Many are rusted off the frame and the rear threshold is completely rotten and weak. Check it out. I edited this post because the top picture is NOT a CUCV but it is the similar set up with the bottom washer mount and upper steel rubber isolator...

    OK. I need an address. At least a ZIP. And do you have the cast steel adapter between that transmission and transfer case? I can get a shipping quote for the crossmember and skid plate with a ZIP. Do you have both drive shafts? Take Care and Be Safe.

    Looking back at some pictures from the past 10 years I came across a 1985 Chevrolet truck I had stored in my shed for about 15 years. I needed the room and decided to sell it. When I parked the truck and stripped out the cab it was in rough condition. After sitting 10 plus years I thought it was...

    Power steering pump bracket

    NO they are not the correct ones. You need the Big Block Chevy ones. Radiator Isolators Big Block (4pcs) #7-1712 These are the urethane ones. They will last forever. Good Luck.

    I have the transfer case and the crossmember with skid plate. Of course the shipping would be on you. The crossmember and skid plate are easy enough but the transfer case can get costly shipping. I would go with the standard 208C transfer case. Do you have the spacer on back of the transmission...

    Think of a picture like this when you do a complete paint job on your CUCV and replace floor panels. No matter what, always replace the cab mounts or at least remove them and replace the bolts and rubbers on the ones that are bad. I guarantee there are many older vehicles on the road that have...

    May I recommend this Groovy exhaust system. Adds 10 HP.

    Could this ticking sound be a slight exhaust leak at the manifold?
