    M1008 Brake Light Problem

    My quick tip. May be accurate may be BS. But if the 30 amp light fuse holder has heat damage and has been altered in any way, Check that out. The same leg (power source) is serves the light fuse and the brake light fuse. I done an in line replacement of the light fuse and then discovered I had...

    Dash Signal Lights

    Check the printed circuit board at the main plug connection. I think you have a slipped connection in the circuit board or a small break in the cooper band of the circuit board. Good Luck. Be Safe.

    86 m1009 issues

    Sounds like the injection pump is going out. But at this late date it could be a combination of multiple issues. I would start at the fuel tank and work my way front. Cleaning and replacing parts as I make my way forward. A lot of hard work but in the end time well spent and it will last for...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Tomorrow will mark 3 weeks since I removed the injection pump from my M1009. Not that I have been sitting around waiting for something to do. But I do want to get rolling on my project. I think heavy rain is in forecast this weekend and I could install that pump in my torn apart barn. I opened...

    M1009 Rear Axle Yoke

    Don't forget the M1009 rear U Joint gets held in center with the C cap clips snapped onto the U joint caps. It will not stay centered any other way no matter how tight you make the bolts. I had the dis pleasure of removing a U joint that was welded to the yoke because the owner said it had a...

    Gen 2 light is on

    May I suggest you take the Gen 2 to a competent rebuilding shop and have them properly diagnose the issue. I have mine all rebuilt at the same place and he is happy to help every time I have an issue. Not very often because he rebuilds them for me and I do the installation. Good Luck. There is...

    M1009 Speedometer question

    https://itstillruns.com/properly-lubricate-new-speedometer-cable-6936047.html Check out this thread. I used cable a chain lube, grease, oil what ever was available. No special recipe. Just something clean and greasy. I looked quick to see if I still had the tube and didn't see it. But good...

    M1009 Rear Axle Yoke

    I have an original I can remove from a CUCV differential if that helps. Let me know. We should probably be having this conversation in a parts wanted classified ad in the Shelby County Tribune. But if I can help let me know. The U joint is a local parts store item. I do have the straps and bolts...

    Runaway starter

    I agree with the use the starter bolts over. And honestly I seldom torque starter bolts. After doing things so long I have mind to know what tight is and what over tight is. I torque head bolts and other fasteners without fail. Loose starter bolts will break and starters without the correct shim...

    Runaway starter

    To look at ring gear/flex plate you need to remove the bottom cover. As to why it is staying engaged I suspect you have issues in the wiring. If it gets stuck out in the gear it could be the starter. I know nothing about the current condition of anything on your vehicle. It may be simple. It...

    Runaway starter

    When I try starting it and it continues to crank it doesn’t sound crisp or easy at all. It’s a shreel noise that makes you grit your teeth and pray nothing is about to snap in half. After hearing that description and giving it some thought you may have a bad ring gear. It could be deformed and...

    Fuel pump replacement time, got a hose question

    I have had great success using 3/8" hose and making it a bit longer. I also put some split wire loom around it and wire tied it tight in place. Also have seen 2 small copper elbows used with straight hose. NOT rocket science. Make it work. Make it that it don't leak and you have the perfect...

    Transfer case shift knob cover

    Quick tip on the 4WD light wires. You can clip them and run them up thru the firewall and eliminate the wires on the floor inside. And I would trade for a new shift bezel if you want. I see knobs in Nissan Pathfinders have the same 4wd shift pattern. I use the knobs on other equipment and lawn...

    Reviving a parked M1009

    Check/measure the length of the dipstick. Also keep the light and add the oil pressure gauge. Use a brass T at the sending unit. I will be going out for pictures of some other parts shortly and post them. Good Luck. Glad you have the lights working. Replace that dimmer switch as a safety to...

    m1009 starter still sticking

    Have you checked the starter engagement? If the gear gets into the ring gear too hard it could get stuck out there. If it can't retract it can't disengage. It could require a shim. Is the rear support bracket in place? This is hard to diagnose from afar. I never did any relay replacements or cut...

    ISO Motor mount plate

    Yes that is what I meant by lifting. But after In thought about it I would say NO. Lifting it would have caused the tail shaft to be broken. The Bell is stronger than that. I would say impact or loose bell bolts. Also running with a dented unbalanced driveline. I guess it don't really matter how...

    ISO Motor mount plate

    Cracked bell housing come from loose bell housing bolts and being lifted or high centered on the rear tail of transfer case. Vibrations case cracks and loose bell bolts are the most common issue. I have fixed a few and seen it when the front drive shaft fails at the CV joint. Wrecked trucks have...
