I second what Rick said above, and to add: I have found the best grease to use is any brand which contains Molybdenum. It seems the Moly will stay there longer and is less susceptible to getting washed off by water. I personally use John Deere Moly grease. I use it everywhere. On my tractor and...
I downloaded the TMs into my IPhone. I also downloaded the free Acrobat Reader from the App Store. Now all I have to do is open Acrobat and touch the TM I want to see and there it is. I can go to any page or even search. Usually I go to a certain diagram to identify a part and then scroll to the...
Well I learned something new today. Because the K30 frame slopes downward towards the front, beginning at the rear of the cab, the front tank bracket is shorter, and the position of the press-nuts are at 2:00 on the right of the bracket and 8:00 on the left side. When I went to test-fit the...
Well I looked and do not have good news. I have another sleeve and red gear but will need that when I reinstall my 11.00/20's. My advice is to look on Ebay and find a 34-tooth gear and try it. Good luck.
Regarding the sending unit - The GM part number in the -34P technical manual is 25004140 as shown in Figure 18 on Page 56. I suggest you stay away from the Chinese junk and source a Spectre from Canada. You can get this from Kentucky Speed Shop- Lee Ingram at 859-707-8120. Just specify it is...
I just now looked in the -34P TM on page 43, Figure 13. Those bolts are part #1 I believe but the thread size is NOT identified. I probably have them in my metric bolt assortment. I’ll look tomorrow.
Also, those are flanged head bolts without washers. The reason, if a washer were to break it would drop straight down into the timing chain causing catastrophic damage. I may have them in my parts bin. You only need 3.
That bolt size should be identified in the -34P Technical Manual. If you don’t have it, download it free from this site. Then find the exploded view page and identify the part number, then on the next page it will tell you the bolt size across from the part number. I believe those are metric...
You know, I believe you may have just discovered your problem. All Driven gears have a square hole on the end that protrudes from the sleeve, into which the speedometer cable end fits. It almost seems that you may have a piece of old cable broken off and still in the hole. Pull the sleeve back...
Here is a website with some great information pertaining to the Drive/Driven gears. https://www.tciauto.com/speedometer-gear-calculator
I believe the adapter was installed on the M1009 so that the same Drive and Driven gears could be used in both the trucks and blazers. The CUCVs came from...
Sarge - Considering that you have replaced everything else, the only thing it could be is the "Speedometer Driven Gear Sleeve" located at the transfer case. See photos below. There is a Drive Gear inside the transfer case, and a Driven Gear in the sleeve.
To confirm and rectify the issue...
OK here's another request for opinions regarding the new Spectre fuel tanks. Instead of painting them, what do you guys think about spraying them with undercoating prior to assembling them in the saddles and straps? I have the undercoating on-hand, and was just about ready to assemble the...
Marcus - could you share details of how your switch is wired? This subject has been hammered over the years however the new members may not know how to wire in a momentary switch to the blue wire at the card. Now that I think about it, I’m not sure I remember how to do it myself. Thanks for...

A couple years ago I had asked John at Hillbilly Wizard to let me know if he came across a pair of perfect original CUCV front fenders. Last fall he called me to say that he had just gotten in a parts truck with front fenders which looked new and if I wanted them they were $100 apiece. I almost...
