    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I think I might be running into the same problem. I am getting fuel out the filter bleed port (after replacing the filter). I cracked all of the injectors and I am getting fuel from all of them. Cranks fine but will not start. It's either the lift pump or injector pump.

    Fuel cutoff solenoid P/N for M1009

    That I have no idea. Never have opened one up before. I am sure there are pics online. Maybe search CUCV DB2 fuel solenoid

    Fuel cutoff solenoid P/N for M1009

    CUCV ones are 12v, just like the civilian models. HUMMVE ones are 24v. Having just worked on my injector pump solenoid wiring this past weekend, I know for sure it is 12v.

    84 m1009 cucv chevy blazer build-up

    Just curious, since you mentioned cracked head because of overheating, from things I have read, it seems the rear part of the block runs hot because of lack of coolant flow, due to the design of the block. I think I read GM fixed this in later 6.5L blocks. Because I wanted to try to eliminate...

    84 m1009 cucv chevy blazer build-up

    My question would be, are you having overheating problems now? I switch over to the HMMWV crossover, not because there was anything wrong with the original one but between running the Paradox by Design cooling kit and needing an extra port for my water temp gauge, it made things easy/cleaner...

    I am just surprised by how many 6.2/6.5 engines that people have put ARP head studs in, that leak. I have used head studs in other engines (not the 6.2/6.5 series) that the studs run into the coolant ports and have never had any issues with leaking. What is it about these engines that causes...

    My best friend works at EV West. Some cool stuff from there.

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    Yeah, sorry to say you are trolling this thread. I don't recall cruzer747 asking for opinions on 8.1L nor looking to swap one at this point in time. I would love to swap to a 8.1L but that will be an issue if/when my 6.2 blows up. Everyone has the right to their own wants, needs and opinions...

    So those down pipes from the manifolds fit correctly? It would be great to have a bolt on system versus having a shop custom make the exhaust.

    What is the part number for the exhaust kit as I am not seeing it on the Dynomax website?

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    Yeah, I am kind of in the same boat. The 6.2 in my M1010 isn't very powerful and though the Gear Vendor OD helped drive-ability, it is still a slug and pulling hills is painful and I haven't even gotten it up to the mountains where it will be even worse. I keep swaying between adding a turbo...

    Aftermarket gauge cluster for the squarebody vehicles??

    I believe it is a 3 or 4 wire cable. I had actually bought some braided sleeve that I was going to use but figured out I just needed to move the cable on the frame away from the rear spark plug wire. Problem went away so I never used the sleeve. I actually have an HDX setup that will go in my...

    Aftermarket gauge cluster for the squarebody vehicles??

    I have used Dakota Digital in a number of builds (not a squarebody but other C10's and El Camino) as well as a couple buddies. They have worked great and love the look and function of them. About the only issue I have had, it more my own install related. You MUST keep the wire for the speedo...

    Agree, uploaded to the site pics means they will still be around in years to come. Linked pics are always at the risk of an account loss, change in hosting service, etc.

    ORD shackle flip on backorder?

    It is very likely they are doing their own in house build of their parts (though they might outsource the laser cutting). I have found over the years that many companies that actual weld their parts together, do production runs of a part. If they happened to have had a higher than normal run...

    1986 M1009 - Glow Plug System Issue?

    I rewired mine to use the more common 1/4" spade connector. Only took about 20 minutes, all done in the truck.

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    Glad you made it through and your home was safe. It is crazy this year up in NoCal area. I remember how devastating the fires in San Diego were in 2003 and 2007. We know people who lost their homes and other where the fire came right up to their property. Scary!

    CUCV Throttle Vacuum Valve Adjustment

    Not likely. The VRV would help control shift points. Even if you didn't use any vacuum to the trans, it would still work but would only shift at a high RPM level but still shift. If you had a trans failed (especially a TH400), it was not built correctly (if recently rebuilt) or was already on...
