    Fuel issues

    I think he is talking the injection pump. That is the only thing I can figure that rotates and the bolts only line up one way. The stud on the pump goes thru the oblong hole in the timing gear. Get it lined up and push it in place. align and start all 3 bolts by hand before you thoroughly...

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

    Get a self tapping screw and a T nut and you can fix it very easily.

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

    Get the real thing. Get the Goodyear MTR. You will pay more but you are buying a 1st class tire. I have bought many sets of them. Second up is the Goodyear Duratrak. Good Luck.

    CUCV Snow Plow Trucks and Spreaders

    Divorced transfer case. Yes they were awesome plow trucks. Maybe I got my tall boys mixed up with my Budweiser bottles. A few of them years were a blur back then. Now the CUCV is bleeding the transmission fluid into the transfer case and out the vent of the transfer case. Always something. Take...

    CUCV Snow Plow Trucks and Spreaders

    Today was not a good day for CUCV plow trucks here at the truck plant. Both CUCV's had transmission failure. Honestly if it were my call they would both be scrapped. I am getting better service from newer trucks now. I didn't think I would ever say that but I have been using newer trucks since...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    Sorry to report that I have been making zero progress on my project. I have been working 60 hours a week at my day job. Snow has been relentless. That along with broken loader pins and just keeping things going have me frazzled. I think I am going to order the wing vent seals and replace them in...

    I Need a Voltmeter Gauge for a CUCV M1009 1985

    Yes 52 mm is about the same as the 2 1/16" hole. It will fit perfect.

    M1008 whining noise

    Take the belts off one at a time and see what it is. I highly doubt the water pump. I think power steering.

    Starter bolt issues (again)

    I have never seen any difference in any starter bolts. I buy M10 starter bolts and they are from a local supplier. I never had many issues with good batteries and the starter properly shimmed or un shimmed. Making sure you have it attached at the front brace and no teeth are chewed out is also...

    Starter bolt issues (again)

    You will need to check the depth of the starter gear engagement. The depth of the gear into the flex-plate. It is possible you have a deep engagement and it is forcing the starter to rock back and forth. Do you have any milling of the flex-plate teeth? If you have a bad spot the starter must...

    This is about how I feel after the past 3 days of plowing and digging snow. Today the sun is shining.

    Vent Window Question

    Yes to the spring washer. It makes a nice seal and tightens up the wing vent glass.

    Vent Window Question

    I disassemble and use it between the lock and glass on the inside. I hope that answers your question.

    CUCV M1009. Generator #2 Shorted on return fuel tubing.

    Just fix it with rubber hose and 2 clamps. No need to master mind it. It is a low pressure return line. The effort is not worth it. I mean you will leak a lot of fuel till the weather changes. Holds up in hot or cold. Good Luck. But while in there I would change the original return lines on all...

    Unsure to use gaskets or sillicone valve covers

    Permatex The Right Stuff® Gasket Maker - Instant Rubber | Cleaning for sale (fishbrain.com) I get it in this caulking tube and it lasts for a few years as I need it. I always let a curl of it protrude out the tip and it breaks off to fresh stuff every time. I just used a dab today to seal the...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked. | Page 17 | SteelSoldiers I used both every time I had to get into that job. I use Permatex The Right Stuff on every gaskets I replace. Good Luck. I left that link there for you to take a look.

    Rust is the enemy!

    https://www.amazon.com/Automotive-Rubberized-Undercoating-Material-RUS-1020F6/dp/B000Q6UBQ6 I was reading into the posters message deeply and thought he had no means to apply the spray type so I recommended the brush on type. Either way it works well. That is as well as the area that is to be...

    Rust is the enemy!

    Call this what you want but I have used it for over 40 years and have had great results. I started using it at the GM dealer in the late 70's and it holds up well. So opinions on different coatings will vary. When it dries it does not transfer and stay gooey like other aerosol under coatings I...
