    M1009 How To Roll Down the Rear Window??

    Amazon.com: Dorman 75450 Door Lock Rod Clip Assortment for Select Models: Automotive This will get you an assortment of clips. I have a window to work on in the next few days. Of course I will post pictures. They will be in my CUCVRUS repair projects thread. Take care. Look in behind the inside...

    High idle solenoid acting up?

    Be sure that is the problem and not the switch on the right rear of the head. Both things are hard to find and are expensive. Used ones can be found.

    M1008 Troop Seat Dimensions

    He's been gone since 2019. And that post is 11 years old. That is the cover roof bows folded up front of the seats. Good Luck finding a complete set and the bows.

    M1009 Rear Glass to Sash Relationship (What keeps em together?)

    That will work. But being that the poster ask 6 years ago I doubt he even has the vehicle anymore. Thanks for your recommendation. If it helps 1 person it was a great post. Thank you.

    M1009 How To Roll Down the Rear Window??

    First off I would remove the sash from the window and clean it up with a wire wheel, straighten it and paint it. I would polish the ends that travel in the side guides and get it smooth. That sash is in great shape compared to others I have fixed and replaced. Reattaching the glass in the sash...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I decided I would salvage a few more parts from the scrap 6.2 engines. I wasn't going to but they might be needed by someone and they are hard to find original parts. I tried beating the harmonic balancer loose and pried on the outer ring it didn't budge. I saved 2 of the 3 balancers the one I...

    M1009 temp gauge

    Either way will give you a decent reading. And the holes in the front of the head are the same size as the back. The heads can be switched side to side. There is not right and left head when they are setting on the floor and not attached to the engine. Maybe the back side will give a more...

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

    If you have to grind your welds to make them look good, you are a good grinder and should let the welds to someone else. I agree that it will be fine but it looks like he was ashamed of his finish weld so he ground it off. All will be well.

    M1028 Rear Axle Seal

    As a rule I replace the axle drum hub seals every time I have to remove the hub and drum. That brake lining is more expensive then the seals and it assures you have a great new seal. But I do see hubs that have a groove worn into the axle stub. They make a seal saver for the 14 GM cooperate...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I used 2 3/4" wrenches and zip tied them in place in the C channel of the frame on top of the bolts. I used an impact to tighten the nuts from the bottom side and then cut the zip ties and removed the wrenches with a magnet and a wire I had attached to the wrenches. Sometimes you got to think...

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

    Why I LOVE overhead welding on dirty, greasy, rusty material. Especially when it is covered in rust, snow and ice and dripping mass amounts of water into my ear canals. It's an experience you will never know until you have been there. You will never forget the sound of boiling water in your ear...

    Terminus M1009 | Page 17 | SteelSoldiers This was a custom built crossmember I built for my M1009 when I went wheeling. It was uncrushable. The round pieces on the ends were my design to prevent things from getting hung up on the edges. I never could bend that crossmember. Terminus M1009 |...

    And all this time you were a good mechanic and never had any trust in yourself. Great Job. We don't need any auto shops. Do it yourself and do it right the first time. Very happy for you.

    6.2 diesel coolant in oil

    Pressure teat the cooling system. Could just need the heads machined and the head gaskets changed. It happens that way at this point.

    I swapped out the old blackened fuel sock for new one. I cleaned up the donor sending unit. Original GM and not available anymore. I polished the ground and used grease on all the connections. I put all the parts back together and replenished the fuel tank. I spilled some fuel taking the tank...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I feel somewhat shamed. I spent 10 hours getting a fuel tank out of an M1009. I removed the class 3 hitch, fuel tank skid plate, fuel tank, fuel tank sending unit and cleaned and installed a used one from the M1009 I had in my field for 20 years. I knew it worked when I parked it there and...

    M1008 Upper Oil Line Replacement - Video Link

    I was out looking for some other parts and came across a stash of oil cooler lines and related parts. I also took a few pictures of the oil cooler lines on Little Red M1009. These are how the stock lines were run and secured. At the front fan shroud. On the left rear exhaust manifold. I hope...
