    Which engine?

    I would either build a custom 6.2 or 6.5 or a 350 small block, 454 big bloxk, or 500 caddy motor. The gassers would also be carbed not fuel injection. That is my 2¢

    M1009 possessed by Satan still won't start

    Just pull the pump and get it rebuilt. 275 is a steal for having it done. I had mine done by diesel performance in Memphis Tennessee. It was not a bad job once you get started. Some Pandora radio tuned for Rodney Carrington, Richard Pryor, and the blue collar comedy guys really helps. AC DC...

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

    I'm running a autometer tiny tach. It's universal diesel tach. It has a prob that reads off the alt. If I can find you a link I'll update this post with it

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

    I thought 55 was bad at first also but it has held together at 80 a couple times now so 65-70 does not bother me lol. A tachometer helps too.

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

    If you get a bad vibe always leave it. It is stupid to buy something that 1: gives you a bad vibe, or 2: I drove all the way here I have to buy it. Today I went and got breakfast in my Cucv for me and my dad. Had the stereo up load and the sub thumping. I did hit almost 80mph and decided that...

    Thz71's M1008

    That's a nice drive line. As for the price. I know that to the buyer it seems like a lot but there is a lot to consider. You have the cost of the materials, the cost of the time the employees had in it and a profit margin to keep the lights open. Since I have grown up in a welding and...

    CUCV Snow Plow Trucks and Spreaders

    It's to catch any more pieces that fall off the truck. Like the driveshaft, the mufflers, ricks thermos, some pin up girls pics on a steel clip board and the other normal stuff. I am serious on it catching falling Cucv parts. That's what his post said.

    Starter problems or more than that?

    I would change the oil, and filter. Then if you see anything I mean anything even the smallest speck the oil pan comes off then go from there. If it was me I would use the stick on pan heater. If will heat the oil, and the heat will rise up in the block. That's my 1/50th (2 cent) worth of a...

    Starter problems or more than that?

    They make some patches that stick to hydrolic tanks and oil pans that heat up. http://www.amazon.com/Kats-24150-Watt-Universal-Heater/dp/B000I8TQD6 If you heat the oil it will turn over easier, the heat will rise up through the block and help heat it. This is not the only size or output that's...

    New somewhat stock looking tires.

    I run a 285/75-16 tire. It's a federal courager, its plenty aggressive for off road, nice side bite, bead protector, and are actually quite and ride great. I have bent the little lip on the inside of the fender well at the back, with the tire tucked and turned slightly. But these tires have not...

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

    I have some contact cement I think. I don't remember 109%. I think it's supposed to be warm like Sunday I will try then to mount it. I did cover my vent window hole in duck tape once when I broke it trying to close it when it was 5f outside. Also I usually use welding wire for exhaust hangers...

    A run to Texas might be better. I like Texas better than Florida. I might just bungee cord it on or just do without it for now

    Starter problems or more than that?

    As far as the push button start I would guesee the button stuck for my first guess. I did have my direct drive start to get slow and die so I swapped it for a gear reduction starter from hillbilly wizard and I am very happy with it. It takes a lot to turn that big diesel over at speed so I think...

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

    I run gates from Napa. The truck had some mix matched no name belts that would never stay tight. The gates have not stretched much if any and I have run the truck several miles but also several hrs of idle time. I bought a new driver side mirror glass and glue the other day. The glass fell off...

    M1009 bulb question

    I will check what's in my truck for you tomorrow morning its to cold right now lol. If you are doing a straight up led change why not use those led strip lights that have the 3m peel and stick. They come in a few different lengths and are easy to use
