    Anyone install A/C like this yet?

    Here we go....These photos are not intended to be an installation manual attachment, just some quick documentation of what was done. All in all, the system is nice. The documentation leaves a little to be desired, but it's adequate. Since the A/C hoses are designed to be cut to length and then...

    Anyone install A/C like this yet?

    Just ordered the Nostalgia Air in-dash system. We'll see how that goes.

    M818....Broken down, route 50 near Annapolis Mall....

    Ok. So here's the after-action report. We ran out of fuel. But. We also had a repair shop that diagnosed and "repaired" the fuel system leak (that was allowing air into the system) set us up for failure. Their repair? By-pass the fuel selector and run the fuel directly to the right side...

    M818....Broken down, route 50 near Annapolis Mall....

    Thanks. Recovery en route. Heading for Frederick, MD. drove this rig over 120 that last few weeks. Problem started when driving up hills with some load. We'll figure it out. Thanks!

    M818....Broken down, route 50 near Annapolis Mall....

    Westbound lane just before 450 exit. Engine faded about 5 miles ago after tank switch. Switched Back for two miles and continued to fade. Won't restart. If you can help, please call with ideas. Thanks much! Den 301.401.0235

    Snow Plow Installation: Meyer from about the mid-80's. HELP??

    Greetings, Just found a complete Meyer plow for my CUCV M1009 and I'm looking for some detailed photos of the installation. Can anyone supply them? This plow is a 7' Meyer from about the mid-80's and is not an EZ-Classic tubular type. Thanks much! Den

    CUCV 15" Wheel Options...

    So in the interest of not having to rotate summer and winter tires through one set of steel wheels, I ordered a set of mat-black 15x8 alloys from Tirerack and so far I'm pretty happy with them. They came with new lugs and center caps. My wholesale price was $78/each and shipped for $40. The...

    What is the correct operating temp?

    Mine never goes to 190* unless loaded on a hill. It's ridiculous really. I'm sure my mileage is lower than it should be because of incomplete fuel burn.

    M-818 5-ton brake bleeding after new booster...

    Can anyone help with finding the procedure? Apparently it's not that straight-forward. Already searched the threads for key words but nothing specifically about brake bleeding. Thanks!

    CUCV 15" Wheel Options...

    I'm currently searching for a set of 15" wheels for my M1009 as I have put my winter tires (Firestone Winterforce) on my factory wheels. I have a like-new set of BFG A/T's needing a new home some summer. Prefer steel, factory look, in black. Help?

    Question about M1009 relay repeat activation

    No, mine doesn't sound like a fluorescent. It's just a relay clunk that repeats for about 30 seconds or so.

    Question about M1009 relay repeat activation

    I wouldn't call the relay clicking a 'chattering' like low voltage. Seems like a deliberate re-engagement of the GP system as described as an 'after-glow' by Doghead above. The only time the belt squeals is when the voltage needle shows GP engagement. After this process is complete, not belt...

    Question about M1009 relay repeat activation

    Excellent, thank you. I suspected this was normal since by GP controllers behaved exactly the same way, cycling the relay, etc.... Makes sense. I just have to wait for it to quit cycling to avoid a belt squeal while it's engaged.

    Question about M1009 relay repeat activation

    Greetings CUCV owners, So when I start my M1009, there is a relay that clunks on when the key is first twisted. The voltage drops and the glow plugs do their magic. I start the truck after the wait light goes out and, while running, there is another clunk, then off, then clunk, then off...

    Opinions everyone

    It's your truck, do what you want. As a purist, I'd keep it bone stock. One day you might appreciate the simplicity and reliability. If you want a Blazer with all the trimmings, just buy the other Blazer and repair it. Probably less work in the long run and you have another asset to sell if...
