    My cucv lift

    on a 1009 you will have to change the output of the t-case to a cv joint instead of the standard U joint Or drop the t-case and possibly shim the rear end angle down to get rid of driveshaft vibration. Standard U joints must have similar angles at the tranny and rear end, you will have to change...

    Major score at the swap meet this weekend.

    been trying to find one around here to calibrate my tachometer module from Dakota digital, none of the local shops have anything to read RPM on the 6.2. If you start a tool rental company let me know. I wish I were closer, I would test you on how well you could use it on my truck, LOL. Nice score

    Cucv M1008 (6.2 Detroit diesel) and Digital Dakota

    They advertise that they include the sensors that you will have to change on the motor. From what I have checked out on the web site you will need a tachometer sending unit which can also be purchased by Dakota digital it is the DS-1 module. I use it in my 1009 and it works good. sending units...

    Water in cab ? - potential purchase - 08'

    The other projects look great, The body looks solid with little rust, this truck looks as good as any that you will find. some of the dates of the pics are a little old. The box hanging under the dash is the glow plug controller card which appears to have some added wiring. good luck with it.

    Water in cab ? - potential purchase - 08'

    definite spill behind the seat. From the pic only obvious thing is that the resistor has been bypassed. Which is a sign the owner new a little something about the truck and most likely treated her right. How much do you know about these trucks is probably what you should be asking before...

    CUCV Winch?

    They make recovery winches that have a hook on one side that can be used by connecting to a shackle but most of these are limited to 2000 to 5000lbs. They are intended as a secondary winch to be used with your primary winch. If you roll the truck, you use your primary to pull you out and the...

    Oil Pressure Gauge Sender Location

    Here is a pic of the back of my civy cluster that was rewired for those thinking about it. The existing plug has to be rewired and some lights such as the gen 2 has to be rewired completely. It is a lot of work but I really like the gauges. I also moved my 24V gauge to the cluster in the...

    Under hood insulation

    I believe all of them are flat on the back, none match the cavities in the hood that I know of. I used two LMC liners and cut the first one up to fill all of the cavities and then installed the second over that

    Glow Plug Relay Only Thing Missing?

    While your starter is out, check the pressure plate for damage. Use a wrench to turn the motor over (helps to remove the glow plugs to do this). The pressure plate (large round plate with the gear teeth that the starter turns) is known to crack or loose teeth and thus starter grinds and has...

    Néed Help With Passenger Door

    there is a little slop in the bolt holes, loosen all of the bolts holding door to the hinges and you can make some adjustment to the door. If the hinges are tight and not worn out, it should be able to align.

    Tilt Steering Column Swap questions...

    I am pretty sure the cylinders are the same, the CUCV column may not have the accessory position but I do not believe that part is in the cylinder.

    Tilt Steering Column Swap questions...

    you can get a new, no cruise control with intermittent wipers from LMC for $20. For that price, I would not take apart my old column to get the switch out. I did not realize the seven wire plug would plug into the 5 wire but since it will, you can then get the pulse module whenever the funds...

    Tilt Steering Column Swap questions...

    yes, all the brackets are the same, just remove the old column and put in the tilt column. It will bolt up exactly like the other came out. there is a black box on the bottom of the tilt column that your wiper switch will plug into. There is a 5 wire flat plug that goes from this box to the...

    Tilt Steering Column Swap questions...

    Easy swap. I have one in My 1009 from an 87 suburban, I would keep the intermittent wipers even though I have had trouble with mine I need a new pulse module (the box at the bottom of the column). A new switch for the column is recommended but is actually the hardest part of the job. Need tools...

    np205 with ORD magnum box in my 1009

    I got the alignment done today along with the inspection so I was able to get it out on the road and test it. With the torque converter locked up and in over drive, I was turning 2000 rpm at 65 and 2250 at 75 mph. The truck ran really smooth with the small tires. With the alignment the big...

You can run it in front wheel drive Hi or low and have rear wheel in neutral or rear wheel Hi or...

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

    cb mount finished installing the shifters. I decided to move my CB behind the shifters and I will also add a stereo that will be in a box on top of the CB. I made a mounting plate that is bolted in where the shifter boots mount. I left a little bit of metal below the shifters so that I can fab...
