    How many miles do you drive your CUCV per year?

    My 1008 was my daily driver for about 6 years, I've never tracked the mileage but when I got it had about45,000 mi on it and now has 112,000. It didn't take me long before I swapped out the TH400 for a TH700R4 and a little bigger tires!

    Tranny leak after emergency stop

    I doubt that the stop had any thing to do with it but it's possible. More than likely it's just been a leak waiting to happen.

    Swapped engine, wont start, HOT battery terminals

    In the future when the fuel lines are dry try this This works best with a helper, a rag, compressor and blow gun. Remove the fuel cap and insert the blow gun into the filler neck and use the rag to seal it (you won't get a complete seal but don't worry) then pressurize the system a little, as...

    Looking for a new idle air control valve

    Is it hard to start when the engine is cold even when using the GP? Reason I ask is it kinda sounds like a weak fuel lift pump, that provides fuel to the IP at pressure. The IP does suck some fuel and if in good shape an engine could run on just the IP or so I've heard. Or it could be as simple...

    Starter run on

    Sounds like the starter solenoid to me too, possibly intermittent and it might test fine and be fine UNTIL it isn't! That will be when you don't have any tools with you or your by yourself out of cell service and it's -10* do yourself a favor and have it checked out by someone that knows what...

    Front axle spring bushings

    I replaced a few over the years, I've had good luck with NAPA bushings in the rear. Fronts I don't remember where I got them (probably NAPA) and aree a bit more difficult.

    1986 M1008 block heater question

    Correct Belts for M1008 and M1009

    In the past I bought a rebuilt alt and it came with a larger pully/fan, on that particular vehicle it didn't make a differance but could some one in the past have done that? It's not that big of a deal just take the belt back and ask for one 1" larger, 1" is a lot on belts!

    Parts Compatibility Question - Bench Seats

    Yes they do fit, I know this for a fact. On some of the early years the seat back is just a bit taller and it may hit the rifle mounts, the bigger problem is that on the 70s modles the seat belts came up thru the gap between the bottom and the back instead of having the plastic grommit thru the...

    Fill drilled holes in m1009 roof

    If you don't want to buy the gun talk to the guys at auto paint supply, they sell the stuff and the guns but also may still have one the salesmen use for promotion you might be able to use the for a deposit and the cost of the adhesive. If that fails they could probably steer you to a small shop...

    How to determine what this transfer case fits.

    Not as a direct drop in replacement, but with the right parts and knowledge it's possible. Seeing as you had to ask I'd recommend you pass.

    Valve Cover Sealant

    Did about the same thing to remove a round lead ball stuck in a .54cal muzzle loader that had already had a screw broken off in it from a ball puller.
