    350 to 6.2 Conversion

    I have a possible donor M1009 with a good motor and transmission/transfer. I see a lot of 350 Suburbans with bad engines cheap. I'd like a 4-door "Blazer" with A/C and a stereo. So what would be involved to install a 6.2 with a 12V starter into a former gas engined truck? Has anyone done this...

    Israeli Defense Force Paint Color Late '60s

    I'd like to know this information too. At this point I'd say your best bet would be to post this question on some plastic military model forums. Although the late Jaques Littlefield collection has an Israeli Halftrack in that color, so they might know.. There's some pictures and possibly contact...

    Towing M1009 CUCV Question

    The mission was successful the Blazer is safely in my yard. Got to work a half hour early, parked the deuce in a secluded part of the parking lot, fired up the M1009, and drove it behind the deuce, proceeded to hook up the tow bar with no luck, so had to wait until some of my fellow works...

    Towing M1009 CUCV Question

    My M1009 started making a terrible racket on the way to work this morning, that would go away when I accelerated but as soon as I was cruising or coasting, the racket started back up. I'm ASSuming for now I have a flexplate issue. So my CUCV is parked at work and I got another ride home. I...

    Drivers Door Handle Problem

    Thanks for all the information, and links both for parts and information., the link put up by camoyj7 was perfect, being a cheap weasle, I will try to fix it myself using that method, if no luck I'll be contacting one of the above mentioned vendors. At least now I got a direction to head.

    Drivers Door Handle Problem

    The drivers door handle no longer functions properly I think the spring that operates the striker must have broken. The door still latches and locks from the inside manually, but not automatically.......I think decades ago I had this happen on either a M37 or a M35 gasser I don't remember...

    Bumper Light Modification

    Gentlemen: I would like to use the black out lights in the rear bumper as auxilary turn signals. I took one apart today, and there isn't much room within the case for using a normal light bulb, I've seen some of you use strips of LED lights to light up the dash panel on the M35A2 deuce. Would...

    Return fuel line Fittings

    M35A2-AZ Just use the parts they have at Lowes, it has worked for me on the deuce, and years ago on the 5-Ton. I even use the roll of plastic tubing they sell there, lasted over 7 years on the 5-ton it may still be working, but I sold that beast so don't know.

    Total Lighting Failure

    I lost all my lights (except the alternator lights), I checked fuses, then a local fellow CUCVer said to bypass the switch NEXT to the headlight switch and wire it up direct as everything feeds through that switch to feed the headlight switch, he thought the kill switch might have malfunctioned...

    Exciter Wire/Headlights and Other Mysterious Stuff

    I thought I'd bump this back on the list, I posted these 3 posts during the 4th of July weekend, and got no responses (DUH!), so now that everybodies back to normal I thought I'd post this up again. At this point in time, I'm thinking me problem (short?) must be in the lighting system, but some...

    Deuce/5 ton ROPS Kit?

    Being 6'4" and 340 Lbs, the deuce cab for me, is already a little tight. Any roll over protection would have to be outside of the cab. I envison four uprights coming off of extensions mounted to the frame, either through holes in the running boards, or fenders, or both depending on which side of...

    UPDATE: July 4th (Happy Independance Day!) My goal this morning, was to take apart the engine harness looking for a frayed, bare, and/or burnt wire(s), the batteries were still conneted so I decided to take some more readings. The #2 Exciter wire at the plug (key ON) still has no power, the...

    Exciter Wire/Headlights and Other Mysterious Stuff

    UPDATE: I went back out, and pulled the plug. With the key on or off, the exciter wire at the plug had no power. I then tested the exciter wire connector on the Alt and it was dead too. Then I reattached the red wire that was showing 24V to the engine harness block (EHB) the plug end of the...

    Exciter Wire/Headlights and Other Mysterious Stuff

    I am at my wit's end! My Blazer has been DOWN due to electrical problems since November 2010! I have had several posts on this beast over the last 8 months, but haven't asked any questions in 2-3 months. But I'm asking now. Heres the deal: Took the M1009 to my buddy, Javier, who is one of our...

    Starter Solenoid

    What's under the orange rubber? Maybe you can disconnect it at that end? Or else you'll need to disconnect the arm deeper in the starter housing.........I'm guessing, I've never had one of those apart. I'd thin that must be in a manual somewhere. On the other hand they probably just said to...
