Miss Kerry Ann, I will say that ONE large rust hole... is NOT a good thing, but DEFINITELY a bargaining chip if you proceed. There WERE at least two versions of the 6.2L - the civi version and the J-code that the military required GM to produce. EVENTUALLY GM put the J-code into all late...

First off, the fuel filter BACKING PLATE is known to leak air, allowing the fuel to go back into the tank. Hence the 'hard starting' condition. A simple fix is add in an electric fuel pump. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/89656-questions-those-have-done-electric-fuel-pump-mod.html - see...

Miss Kerry Ann, Welcome to the green iron disease. I've owned a deuce. Got REALLY TIRED of being both 'Soldier A' and 'Soldier B'. Sold it after about 18 months or so. Then about eight/ten months later, bought my first CUCV. An M1009 just like you are looking at. I went with a private...

Well, I bought an MKT75A from Stan Copeland, an SS member. He even delivered it to me several months ago. I FINALLY had the opportunity to put all the MBU's in place and fire them up. THEY ALL WORKED ON THE FIRST TRY. Stan, a big thanks for all you did. EVERYTHING worked great. I'm going...

The MVCC here in North Texas did two 4th of July parades. One member, BlueDuce, went to the Arlington parade Arlington 4th of July Parade He won the 'Mayor's Award' and was moved to the front of the parade. Way to go Glenn and VFW Post #8561 Don and Jim went to the Westcliff parade in Ft...

The strange part is I've been going to GL for years and it just changed it's look FOR ME today. I've looked at it in the past couple of weeks and it looked exactly the same. I noticed the threads a couple of months ago, but when I WENT to the GL site, it always looked the same.

Did Gov Liq website just CHANGE? I went there to look at a couple of bookmarked auctions and it's NOTHING like it was yesterday. Did I miss something? It looks a LOT LIKE EBAY NOW... just wondering and they DROPPED THE VIDEO PORTION???

If you look at the ebay listing (look for 74 Blazer) - the guy wants $22k for it - but he has "6.2 Diesel" crossed out - on the front fenders Such a waste of a good MV - if it ever was - while I applaud the work, the person who did the WORK does have some metal working skills for sure - but...

INSIDE the frame rail At least on the M1009 it's NOT an issue for the exhaust pipes - can't say for an M1008 though I have NOT needed it for my M1028A2 so I can't say for any of the pickup variants

Lookin great Phil BOY it is very dry there you guys do any Independence Day parades this year?

The Flowmasters 40's are simply a straight flow through muffler There are generic mufflers that cost WAY less than the Flowmasters and sound just as good I have them on my Suburban, M1028A2 and my M1009 Plus, you could replace the 1 7/8 inch pipe with either 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 inch pipe and will...

AND now it's up on the website: Audey Murphy Parade

Let me help you boys out that's MY M1028A2 towing MY M1009 from Ft Riley, KS to Denver, CO with a medium tow bar I've also towed the M1009 from Denver to San Angelo, Texas And ALL AROUND the DFW area ZERO PROBLEMS, ever mpg is 10 mpg because I'm towing 5700 lbs of weight I DO NOT SPEED...

DO NOT drive an 8" lifted truck with 35" Super Swampers that distance 1 - you will most likely go deaf 2 - you MIGHT wear the tires beyond belief 3 - even if you don't break ANYTHING (doubtful - it's a 25 year old truck) you will be driving a truck made for OFF ROAD, not highway driving. if...

Great scenery pics. WONDERFUL shots of your truck IN the great scenery pix. Looks like you had a great time.

I suspect one or two items. As has been said, the solenoid is MOST LIKELY the culprit HOWEVER are both starter bolts STILL there? I had the same problem, only to find that BOTH starter bolts had literally fallen out and cause it to come loose. $10 and two starter bolts and the correct...

OK, I gotta ask one stupid question. And it will seem that way. DID YOU REPLACE THE FUEL FILTER HOLDER? they are KNOWN to develop air leaks over time. it's one of the first things I ALWAYS do to my CUCV's when I get them. Also, your mechanical pump may not be up to the task. An electric...

Several things come to mind Are the two bolts being used to HOLD the starter in place GM? If not, replace them with GM parts. The original bolts 'stretch' just a little when torqued down. They cost about $5 each last time I bought several two years ago. Is the FLEX PLATE cracked. About the...

Well, Glenn attended and shot some pix He said it was exceptionally H O T
