    Is turbo mod worth it?

    If a 4bt and 700r4 is the cats meow, A 6bt with 4l80e would be the lions roar.

    Cold Outside Air Through Firewall

    right above your vent box is where the glow plug harness wires come through for your diagnostic port. It is a 2 inch hole. from the outside, it is just below the resistor and towards the pasenger side about 4 to 6 inches from center. you can follow the diagnostic port wires to the hole from...

    Cold Outside Air Through Firewall

    Make sure the rubber around your floor vents are good and that the vents are closing good, the two largest holes are where the speedo cable and the glow plug cables go through the fire wall. The rubber graumets for these come out pretty easy.

    My First CUCV

    you can get those ends in High temp, they are red. that is what I just put on my 1009 when changing to AC60g's and getting rid of the resistor. I beleive the High temp ones are good to 250 degrees. they are real close to the exhaust thats why I went with the high temp ones.

    M1009 Tailgate Latch Repair?

    I could not get the pics, I have a scrap tailgate that I thought had the pics you needed but the regulator was not in it. i am pretty sure what you need is actually on the back of the regulator. I have attached the diagrams from 'TM9-2320-289-34 parts breakdown'. It does not show the back side...

    gauge cluster conversion question

    I am not to worried about the circuit board, I use it on all of the gauges I can. As far as I can tell these have lasted 20+ years. for the cost of the wire and plug you could put a new board on from LMC. If you put a new board in and used some good di-electric grease, they will probably last...

    Overhead shelf from LMC

    I got my shelf from LMC today, It is definately a sturdy piece, It is a decent guage metal with the edges bent, I think it will hold anything you want, you could probably do chin ups on it. I am going to install it tomorrow. It is not as wide as I though it would be, only about 6 inches wide...

    My 4l80E install in my 1009, current progress

    what did you use to resize the bearing yourself. I am looking at taking it to a machine shop for this because I don't want to screw it up. I have been busy with other smaller items because I am still waiting on my trans controler from TCI. I am very unhappy with TCI. I sent the unit to them...

    M1009 Tailgate Latch Repair?

    sorry I did not get those pics today, I will get them tomorrow. I am fairly certain you need the last three parts. the clutch and snap ring go on the back of the handle and the nut handle goes on the tailgate piece with the threads. Sorry for the delay.

    gauge cluster conversion question

    thanks, M1031CMT for the encouragement. Today I got the new sending units installed. The Oil presure sending unit is Master Pro 2-8136 s996 and the water temp unit is BWD wt359. I went to Lowes and got the brass fittings. The Oil sending units are 1/4 inch fittings and the Water fittings are...

    Wheel Advice, Please

    you may want to double check your back spacing I thought 3.5 inch was max on back spacing without wheel spacers. Your option 3 and 4 have to much. It would not be good to buy new wheels and then have to get spacers. Double check this, someone else here may be able to confirm

    lift

    not sure at 2.5, you do need to if you go 4 inch. I would recomend 4 inch lift if you do any lift at all. 4 inches is the minimum for cross over steer. You may not want to do the cross over at this time but you will have the option in the future. You wont be able to notice the extra 1.5...

    ac60g ?

    I would like to note in this thread also, AC60G's are self regulating with regaurds to temperature. They have an internal thermo coupler that disconnects power when they get to hot. They are NOT self regulating on voltage. If you do not do the resistor bypass, you can provide to much voltage...

    M1009 Tailgate Latch Repair?

    looking at the LMC catalog, yes you need the clutch, snap ring, and nut handle. I beleive the nut handle is the piece that goes on the threads that is sticking out of the tailgate part. The clutch grooves fit into the nut handle. no pic of nut handle in lmc catalog. after looking at the...

    M1009 Tailgate Latch Repair?

    I can get you some pics of mine today, looks like you have the electric version of the handle and lock not the manual. cant really tell from the bottom side of the pics. on the tailgate picture, you are missing a part, It is the part that the handle engages. I will have to show some pics so...

    gauge cluster conversion question

    I got the temp and oil presure gauges figured out, I was having a brain fart about being able to read resitance to ground. I was only considering the one wire from the sensor to the gauge and forgot that the sensor is grounded to the block and the gauge has seperate power source. The gauge is...

    Post your cucv pics here

    sharecropper, I sure wish I could get those tires and wheels under my 1009, I think they make your truck the best looking 1028, or 1008 on the forum

    gauge cluster conversion question

    Still waiting on the tach and fuel gauge. I did get a gen 2 light built. laminating the old board to the new one was not going to work as planned and was really not needed. I decided it was easier to modify the light bulb socket to have its own wires and not use the circuit board for gen 2...
