    No Brakes

    Honestly the brake system can be completely rebuilt for about $300. You can buy rebuilt calipers, master cylinder, wheel cylinders and the brake hoses. If it were me at this point I would replace all of them and have lifetime warranty parts and sit back and drive on. I do it to every CUCV I...

    Ground connection near parking brake.

    Do the dash cluster lights work? If they do the cluster is grounded somewhere. I was pointing you in the direction of the sending unit. Check and make sure that has a constant ground. The wire that hooks to the ground at the E Brake has a female spade connection. Look up under there is it...

    Ground connection near parking brake.

    Fuel gauge is more then likely the ground on the drivers side rear frame section. Upper frame flange. It has a 5/16" self tapping bolt and a star washer. Remove that bolt clean the frame and reinstall. Also check and see if the wire is still attached to the fuel tank sending unit. That wire was...

    3 capacitor assembly ?

    They are noise filters for the military radio. They are NOT needed for the wipers to work. If they were eliminated they were an issue. Discard them. Happy Thanksgiving.

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

    This always the same dance around the injection pump. I dealt with enough of these and it makes perfect sense to just change it with a fresh dated rebuilt one and live happily ever after. I feel like a broken record giving the same advice but it seems to heal a lot of ill's. It's a cost thing...

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

    Mileage has no value at this point. things just wear out and go bad setting and doing nothing. I would replace the lift pump first and double check the hoses and clamps front to back. If that don't solve it time to drop the fuel tank and replace the sock filter in the tank. I had people tell me...

    CUCV head gasket / head/ or change engine survey

I posted a few of my M1009 parts on Facebook market and received a lot of attention and have sold the softback hard top conversion. I don't see me going that route again. and I also have...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Do you have any updates? Has the vehicle been released to you? If not what is holding it up from being released? I hope you have it or at least have a time line that you will have it. This transaction started back in June/July. Keep me posted.

    My first CUCV

    I may have a brand new GM 1/4 panel. I know I do but I am not sure which side it is. I will look.

    My first CUCV

    That is the antifreeze acidic test from 2007.

    My first CUCV

    That right rear 1/4 panel damage will buff right out if you hit it with the right compound. Really it looks like a decent rig. Needs a lot of TLC but it can be brought around in due time.

    M1008 - electric setup/glow plugs/loose cable

    Could be bad batteries or a bad starter. Still hard to tell from afar.
