    M1009 tailgate issue

    Tell me what you need. I know I have it used and OEM. I may even have NEW OEM. I do know how hard K5 Blazer gate parts are to find. Been a long time.

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    Here is an old story about a full size Chevy Blazer. This accident happened up in the Raucsh Creek area back in 1984. A bit scary. I was just thinking about it while I was working out in the garage. Imagine the size of the hole in the earth that swallowed a full size Chevy blazer and allowed it...

    Question about Rebuilt(?) TH-400

    It has issues. The issues need resolved or further damage will occur. Use caution when choosing who works on anything you own. Good Luck. GA is a long way off. I would assist if I could. Take Care. I have a few rebuildable cases here. Not burnt out but I don't sell or install used Automatic...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    I am still scrapping tar plastic off the drivers side floor area under the pedals. Slow process so I don't burn the paint off. Oh Joy I love it. I will do some pictures this weekend. Take Care and Be Safe.

    Loud Bang Coming From the Rear (of my M1009)

    I doubt you cracked the ring and pinion. I picture you had wheel spin on ice or snow and it caught and broke a tooth. It happens. I always use 4WD to avoid spinning. But I had used these m1009's very very hard and never broke the rear. My Son's on the other hand could break an Anvil. My new...

    Question about Rebuilt(?) TH-400

    https://globaltransmissionparts.com/rear-band-th400-4l80e/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw6-SDBhCMARIsAGbI7UhZiOZx7AvvjLJKeZxxgYilxFwGGVGIfqbZcgzdFmX-sGH3OlMVvZcaArO6EALw_wcB I am going to ask. Did they rebuild the transmission? And did they adjust the vacuum? It sounds to me like the reverse band in the...

    Replacement Fuel Tank

    Mike I have the tank saddles from original CUCV trucks. They are OEM and will need blasted and painted but in excellent over all condition. You can buy a strap set and make these as good as new. Let me know. I can box them up with the M1009 fuel cup. Isn't the tank I sold you up to the projects...

    Pump shut down after battery short

    You can have 12 volts in a battery and it is scrap. Most importantly is CCA. You must check the Cold Cranking Amps. Check this out and get the batteries load tested. Weak battery's are the root of all evil that happens to the CUCV starting and glow plug system. No need for modifications to the...

    Loud Bang Coming From the Rear (of my M1009)

    I would clean the cover plate surface and the axle really good and use a paper gasket and the Permatex Right Stuff. I would fill it full and we can go from there. the axles will need pulled out and everything looked at. I will get a look at my parts rear and see if I have the 4 inner gears. Do...

    Loud Bang Coming From the Rear (of my M1009)

    Lets clean it up real good and get new oil in it. You can drive it here. I will check with a friend of mine that rebuilds rears. I have a few M1009 rears for parts and if the spider gears are bad in yours I think we could get this fixed up. I done it before. It worked for many years. I don't...

    Terminus M1009

    There is more to rebuilding starters and alternators then throwing a few parts from a kit into them. I think that is why people always have problems with things like this. They want to just replace a few items and ignore the major components that require expensive electrical equipment for...

    M1009 has no power now that it's warmer in AZ?

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/6-2L-Chevy-GM-6-2-GMC-6-2-HD-Diesel-Injection-Pump-Rebuild-Service-/331605830069 I used this company for CUCV's, HMMWV's, Kubota's, Kumotsu, and any other diesel. Never had any issues. If you have other issues before you replace the pump you will still have them issues...

    Optimizer Engine

    I never knew if the stock 6.2 HMMWV oil pan would fit the CUCV. When I used HMMWV engines in CUCV's I just changed the oil pan. I have a few extra oil pans either way CUCV or HMMWV. Good to know they fit but I would still stay with the CUCV in a CUCV and HMMWV in a HMMWV. Never know I may flex...

    LMC Truck Head light circuit mod questions

    I had 4 sets of the Truck lite and I plowed snow and live in snow country. I never had any ice issues with the Truck lite LED headlamps. That Speaker light you have pictured would look horrible on a CUCV. I think any of them multi LED headlamps look bad on old trucks. That Truck lite was nice...

    Terminus M1009

    I am on the other side of the country but I get this guy to rebuild all of my electrical stuff and he does a great job and affordable. You can get a self exciting voltage regulator installed then the idiot light don't have to work but the gauge will be your only option to know it is charging...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    I sanded for 2 hours with my Milwaukee M18 DA sander. I like it better than than the air sander. A 5" 80 grit sanding sheet has a 90 second life when sanding brushed on CARC paint. I am still feeling the side effect of the COVID I had. Feeling stronger everyday and trying my best to maintain...

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

    I would also recommend that the hood and cowl be disassembled and everything cleaned and painted. The hood hinges and the wiper transmission are in dry and poor condition at this time on any CUCV that has never been taken apart cleaned and lubricated with grease and oil. No spray lubricants. But...
