M1009 Down. Big Trouble. Simple fix will turn into a major chain reaction of repairs. After 20 years on the snow plow use and off road only use this M1009 has seen a lot of use and much more abuse. Not as much abuse as some I see on the road. This is still basically all stock. I was out back...

They were build at the Flint Michigan plant. I have been there twice. before the CUCV's were made and after they were made. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flint_Truck_Assembly

I always say how I like building things from scrap and repurposed items. I built this little Honda hauler from a 13 HP hydrostatic Honda lawn tractor. It is a very handy unit to do many tasks. I have a Kubota loader but this gets in tighter places with the hand truck trailer set up and does a...

Today was a total wash for CUCV repairs. I had the third front EBrake cable and it was wrong. Not sure what is going wrong. The first one was a GM one for a truck. I was supposed to have bought a K5 one and installed it. It was too long so I cut and cable clamped it. The second I cut was...

You should have spoke up sooner. I would have sent you the stuff in an exchange/trade. I have so much stuff stashed everywhere I often shake my head and call myself a collector of fine antiquities. Not trash. I mean jacks I save everyone I see in a scrapper. Tire tools, cranks all make nice...

No you buy the sock only. It is just swedged on the pick up tube. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/dfp-fs0177 Something similar to this. Make sure to check for the correct application. Good Luck. You have that fuel tank out yet? Be Safe.

Personally I would shop vac the fluid from that master cylinder and replace the entire master cylinder, calipers and wheel cylinders. While I was at it I would change the rear axle seals and repack the front wheel bearings and spindle bearings. Do it right. It will cost less than $200. for all...

I have a few Ford truck crew jacks. And you can mount a crank handle across the front on top of the radiator just like Ford does. The jack fits inside the front fender in a hole and just crank the jack tight. Lug wrench you can also attach on the drivers side inner fender under the hood. Bolt a...

So far the weekend is a wash for CUCV repairs. No injection pump yet. All is well I have an entire barn to paint. I also have a new front E brake cable to install on the M1009. I have a new one on it but it was for a truck and I had to cut and clamp it to fit. I choose NO. It was brand new GM...

rmesgt I want to dedicate this song to you. I am accused of the same thing all the time.

Are you against used cast steel parts? I mean you replace the bearings and races on an old used rear hub and you have a brand new rear used hub that I would have sold for a 1/4 of that price. Even traded for something like that. I am in the process of making a bench grinder stand/pedestal out of...

I have answered a few people on PM's and emails in reference to the correct fuel pump for the stock 6.2 diesel. I have a picture that makes quick identification of the correct one. It is as easy as this. The top fuel pump is incorrect. The spring over the lever and the slight curve in the...

This is the picture I found in a quick search of my vast collection. 1984 M1008 rear axle brakes. 14 Bolt cooperate axle. Hope that helps. Can't send pictures in PM's on this site. Be Safe. Take Care.

It is for the "water in fuel" sensor on the stock fuel filter assembly. Good Luck. Be Safe.

Run your 12 volt power cables from the front battery positive and negative. That is how I run all my snow plows. A snow plow is basically the same principle as a winch. It just gets used a lot more. It works. The Generator 1 will charge that front battery. I would put a circuit breaker in the...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/1986-cucv-m1009-decade-after-being-wrecked.173878/page-29 Check out this page and a few pages after this. I covered this rear glass replacement a few times. It can be completed and it will be costly if you require everything. But the rear glass is still...

Do make sure you have the lower support bracket from the pump to the block. It will break the bracket eventually if all the brackets are not in place. Like I mentioned. Many of these parts are getting harder to find. The PS bracket was a $12. item back in the day. But like many other things on...

May I suggest getting the power steering pump belt tight in the same way. Do it first and then size your Generator 1 belt after that one is good and tight. Do NOT pry on the pump reservoir. Use the shaft or the bottom adjusting slot bracket area as a pry point. Poor design. Could have added a...

TH400 is vacuum shifted from throttle position and the VRV controlling the vacuum. The down shift is electric and controlled by an electric switch located directly above the throttle pedal in the cab. The Orange wire is attached mid ship of the transmission case on the left (drivers side). That...
