    Hello from Germany

    Great to hear about your M1008. I am sad to see it has been altered. It appears to be lifted and have non stock items added to it. I do not know the term for the connection that goes into the radiator from the transmission but have always used 3/8" steel line and formed it to fit. Recently I...

    Please help me to detect wires

    Yes. I had a VDO tach hooked up to that wire. That was that easy. Been many years but that was what feed the RPM signal to the tachometer.

    Please help me to detect wires

    You are a genius. Yes the choke wire would not fit on mine so I attached it to the alternator. That is a Tach pick up wire for the diagnostic connector under the dash on the drivers side.

    I have too Many CUCV's and Parts

    Suburban gate will NOT fit an M1009. And where are you getting complete gates for $80. US? I want a few dozen. It can cost upwards of $1K US to rebuild an M1009 gate with new GM parts. I have done a few. Now I have a few GM parts that are obsolete so I use knock off parts. Finding any old 73-91...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I have been heated and rained out of my barn project so I decided to go out and do some of my art work with automotive parts. I picked up this 1982 Chevrolet S10 tailgate at the crusher a few weeks back. Thought it would look good hanging on the barn and make a nice bat box. A place for brown...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Last night in the sweltering heat I figured I would subject myself to some mental and phycological abuse. I removed the instrument cluster cover and replaced the volt meter with another used one. I did however have no issues with the assembly or disassembly. It was a happy time. I also figured...

    M1008 alternator model

    That's a great price on the CUCV alternators. Are they new, rebuilt, or just take off cores?

    M1008 Power Steering Trouble Shooting

    Did you check the power steering mounting bracket? It has a main bracket that cracks and the adjustment nut can wear thru the slide on the bracket. Also check and make sure the lower pivot adjustment bracket is tight and in place. That is known to be loose and or missing. The cracked worn power...

    M1008 Power Steering Trouble Shooting

    First check your power steering fluid. Next make sure the power steering bracket is completely in tact and not cracked or broken. Is the belt tight? I think it sounds like a fluid issue. Report back on your findings. Be Safe.

No picture of the Marmot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmot But I did want to keep that varmint out of my shed. I cut a piece of Dura Plate and screwed...
