    New M1008 with Headlight issues

    It has 12 volt going in. Does it have it coming out. Does the switch work freely? Sometimes you can get them to work by repeatedly working the dimmer. That will help diagnose the issue. Of course without the patient in front of me for examination I am making a guess. Nothing more. Grounds and...

    New M1008 with Headlight issues

    This is what you need. Autozone , NAPA. Nothing special about it. 1984 K5 Blazer or K30 pick up. Cars and trucks of the same era all used the same switch. Good Luck. Pay attention to the parts you remove on the upper column. This is a detailed repair and it must be done right to work correctly.

    I never had an M100anything with A/C. I faked it.

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I had an exciting weekend. If it were NOT for unexpected setbacks I could get a lot of work done. Last week I had Honda clutch problems. Not sure to complain or laugh. But I owned and maintained this equipment for 30 years. It runs perfect but now the inner bearings and attachments are showing...

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

    I use gaskets and the Right Stuff on the valve covers. Just beware when tightening them not to smash the gaskets. Looks Great and you could never get someone else to do that nice of work. Keep going. I take a long time also when I am doing rebuilds as I think out every move and plan on being as...

    What Is This Dashboard Sound??

    Another thing you can do is pull the cable out of the tubing and grease the entire length of the cable with cable and chain lubricant. They make speedo cable lube also. But you can pull it out from the topside and replace it the same way. Good Luck.

    M1009 Tail Gate rear fender issue

    On the tailgate there are 2 heavy steel guides built into the tailgate jamb. Using a large adjustable wrench bend the heavy metal guides in the direction you need to move the gate as it closes. The design keeps the gate aligned and guides it back into alignment with the body each time you open...

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

    I think that the neutral safety switch at the bottom of the steering column on the CUCV operates the B/U lamps only. The key only works in the neutral and park position. I think that is controlled by the rod on the steering column itself. I know that the only wires that run to the switch are B/U...

    tree vs. cucv m1008

    Get the Boyce frame. Much less work. I think the price is fair for a clean rust-free frame that is a direct fit. The 1978 frame for the same price. No. Not a good deal. Too much other work to do. Good Luck. Like I mentioned. It will be an easy job with the CUCV frame.

    Pump shut down after battery short

    At this point I think it needs to be located. Also moisture could be cracked heads or bad head gaskets. Impossible to know. But wise money would find that pin and remove the heads. There is a chain that could conceal the pin and I would not be comfortable knowing it is in that engine somewhere...

    Sometimes you have to take the old parts along for comparison. Computer wizards that never worked on vehicle are working at selling parts these days. Good Luck. I think you have this.

    Have you checked the wheel bearings and the spindle bearings on the outer drive axles?

    8 x 17 inch STORTZ & SON Ice Harvesting Axe - 92302 – Jim Bode Tools I learned something new everyday. Now I know I am going to make a wall hanger out of it.

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    After I finished washing the Mr. Rusty plow truck I was tired so I ventured into the barn and cleaned up. I also located a few of my tools that I was looking for. Glad I located them The old heel and palm dollies. Many guys don't know how to use these old tools and just replace a dented panel...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    After checking and topping off all the fluids I decided it was time to wrap up this project with a wash down. I sprayed it with Simple Green and scrubbed it with a white 3 M sanding pad. This is before. It sits in the woods all the time on top of the north side of the mountain. I also wanted to...
