    M1010 Work Log

    Suspension continued... After I finished the work in post #7, I was left with a definite stinkbug look, not really my thing. So I added an inch by replacing the stock 4" shackles with some 6" from diy4x. It helped a little. For tires, I'm currently trying to make 37"s work. I picked up...

    Need a fuel pump push rod

    Shouldn't need a new pump for that, try GM wiper motor controller, part number 15598496. Pictures here. Slower speeds from the original motor may be just dirty electrical connections or mechanical linkages in need of attention, aka cleaned and lubed. Good luck

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

    Nope no chains, honestly I rarely lock my vehicles. Agreed on Smith Island, I'm about 25 min. from Crisfield, not exempt from the same problems troubling the rest of small town America, but a beautiful area for sure.

    Engine running great then all of sudden dies on me

    I don't think the plugs are the same. Member blueblaze shows how he installed one here, I followed his lead, just chose to do the wiring a little different.

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

    Nope, just chatting that's all. :beer: In the other pics you showed some nice vehicles and from what I remember seeing, you have very nice truck yourself. So I was wondering if you had displayed it and wanted to see some pics of your truck on display. Es sieht gut aus. Looking good!

    Greetings german m1008, I enjoyed the pics you posted in the non MV spotted thread, good stuff. Did you have your M1008 on display, any pics? I think you've shown your engine compartment before and if I remember correctly it was really clean, looked good.

    Voltmeter in Yellow

    Might be worth checking the gen 2 and voltmeter relays, they're located next to the starter relay.
