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

    I wanted to give you a little tip on the bracket that seems to have worked for me over the past 25 years. At position/part 2 I place a 3/8" flat washer on the stud that sticks out so that the flanged nut is able to tighten on a smooth surface and not press the bracket into the head of the stud...

    M1009 How To Roll Down the Rear Window??

    I trust you have reassembled the gate and everything is operational again.

    I actually think people have installed an A/C relay and not the heavier starter relay. But true as can be if you maintain a health CUCV with healthy batteries you will never encounter the issue. And if you do. Be knowledgeable upfront that all you must do is unplug the relay. The only CUCV I...

    M1009 How To Roll Down the Rear Window??

    Do you have any ideas for oil? Good old motor oil in a squirt can. Just like the tin man in the Wizard of Oz. You can hear the squeaks and binds fade away. I use Lubriplate on the speedometer cable. I pull the cable out entirely and lube the housing. Work the cable back in and out a few times...

    M1009 How To Roll Down the Rear Window??

    Yes. That piece was designed to allow the handle to work only when the window is in the down position. It can be eliminated. I seen it in place in the first 2 pictures you sent me. What made you take it out? That piece has been discontinued for over 20 years. If you can get it back in plce that...

    M1009 How To Roll Down the Rear Window??

    That foam rubber piece will do nothing. Put a marshmallow in there. That just makes it rattle resistant. And if you can hear that rod rattling you have great ears. I would not worry about that foam piece. You do know that to open the gate you must push in on it from the outside when pulling the...

    No you don't need to pull the wheel for the hi beam switch. Pull the lower column cover and carefully get up under there and remove the fasteners. This is what the switch looks like it is on the left side of the column. It is a bit tedious working up there but it can be done. That metal clip on...

    Generic picture of a Chevrolet truck neutral safety switch. The yellow tab sticks into the shift tub. Unclip your switch from the column and see if that tab is still intact. It may just need clicked a little from one side to the other while the switch is attached to the column. No tools needed...

    Get a GOOD welder to do the repair. I would add a bit of ply to that area. Do you have the rear lower bracket. And with new batteries and a new starter you have everything covered on the starter relay. I can't be that lucky to have sailed thru 25 + years with issues only when I have weak...

    A large flat washer cut and welded on that bracket will fix that bracket. Do you have the lower bracket from the lower part of the power steering pump to the block just above the oil pan? Check that out and report back. Ignore RED 13. I am interested if 10, 2 ,9 ,8, and 7 are in place.

    The reverse switch is easy. it may just be a slight adjustment that will make the lights light in reverse. Try that. Do you still have the tab that extends into the shift tube from the switch. The CUCV back up lamp switch only has 2 wires from stock. The replacement will have 4 and only 2 are...

    Are you sure it is the harmonic balancer and not the pulley? Easy fix is remove the belts and the pulley and just run it briefly to se what is out of alignment. As far as the belts go I always drive to the parts store with the tools and the truck and walk in and out and get 1 belt at a time and...

    M1009 How To Roll Down the Rear Window??

    Put the plastic clip into the remote latch mechanism and clock it so when the rod is inserted thru the clip the locks can rotate clockwise and lock onto the rod and retain it in place. Pre-fit the clip into the remote and make sure the rod fits thru the clip before hand. It should be that easy.

    Rear window problem

    Please show what part or parts you bought that do not work. I am anxious to see these parts. How can I be sure the parts I have will fit the parts you have? I don't want to go into this blindly. If my parts won't work and LMC parts won't work we do definitely have an issue. Maybe a home made...

    You did it. All I did was talk and watch. Great Job. I still think you have a clean truck. Do you still need the 4WD/Oil light filter? Great Job.
