    What is causing white smoke???

    You really have the shotgun loaded up. I see 000 3" magnums in that magazine. :)

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

    Looks like you used a spray can. Did you?

    CUCV M1009, What is this for?

    That is the coolant temperature sensor. That determines current coolant temperature and tells the system if the glow plugs must engage or not. If you have the push button system trash it and forget about it. Not the way I would do it but many vehicles are irreversibly hacked up and the cost to...

    What is causing white smoke???

    I agree. A simple pressure test of the cooling system will also point you in the right direction. I think you have a faded/worn head gasket near the cylinder. Do you have any other symptoms? Does the cooling system hold pressure over night. Like a very hard upper radiator hose in the morning...

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

    Hey I have a front set of shocks that were on my M1008 snow plow truck a few months before it was destroyed. If you would like to have them I can send them to you. Not brand new but worth the plane ticket to come to you. Shocks free. You pay the shipping. Let me know.

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

    I done that quickly during my morning break. It is going to last. It is not perfect and it was worse than I expected but I enjoyed the challenge. I must get cracking on my M1009 project. So many things to do and so little time. Friday I was fixing a water leak in a tenant house that had a copper...

    Wilson Starters for CUCV?

    List it in the classifieds and you will sell it for sure. these parts are hard to find as many are finding out. May I ask why you did the 12 volt conversion? What is the advantage since it is a 12 volt truck with a 24 volt starter. Just curious.

    Wilson Starters for CUCV?

    I don't knock the Chinese made starter. I see the Chinese made starter with A C Delco name on the sticker. Lots of parts are Made in China these days and have been for years. Sorting out the good from the bad is the key. I buy what fits and what works. I don't really care where it is made if it...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    I had some time after work and wanted to get something completed on the M1009 project. I broke out the Energy Suspension body mount kit and went to town. I am home alone and getting ready to go away for a weekend mountain trip to work on my Rock Crusher. The Kit Using the steel mushrooms from...

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

    I was going to tell you that but glad you figured it out for yourself. I know the horrors of finding the correct little fasteners when you get a CUCV that someone else tried changing that switch and had no clue. Not even a hint. I bought steering columns from any GM car of the era just for the...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I was down in the barn working on installing some Energy Suspension cab mounts. I also wanted to share my side window guide rebuilding process. I have done this modification to a few dozen M1009's. It beats the pants off of the replacement side guides that are available. I used my last set of...

    M1009 Blower Motor Housing

    If I had know I would have sent a Genuine piece of GM sheet metal along. I didn't know.

    Remain Calm. All is well. You only need to be 1% smarter than the object you are working on to be victorious. Now getting it back on properly will be the true test and challenge. You got this. Good Luck.

    Hey looking at the gear selector. I would brush a little grease down in the metal area where the orange needle slides and on the pivot point where the cable travels on the edge of the cluster housing. Wheel bearing grease or white lithium. But some grease. And take your time on the dimmer...

    Wilson Starters for CUCV?

    I would use that starter. I had to roll over and zoom on the starter to see if it was 24 Volt. It is. Yes I think that is a good deal. I wish I could get $59. for my core starters. Most times I just scrap them. I mean how many cores does a guy need? Take Care and Good Luck. Your part should be...

    Why won’t my volt gauge work

    Could be many things. Is the relay under the radio plate in place? The voltmeter will not effect battery charge rate. Does the voltmeter have voltage in the wire leading to the plug connector? Check all these. You can source a new 24 volt meter on line. Get one that the outer ring is not a...

    Best position for jack stands on M1008

    So what you are telling me is that they do not have spring companies in Germany? I find that hard to imagine. The spring companies I have used here are local and make springs to specs in a few days or sooner. I can walk in the front door unannounced and hand them a U bolt and get one made any...
