    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    I started off early this AM and made great progress on solving the issue and getting the resolution started on it's way. The patient was prepped for surgery. Open injection pump surgery. The reason for the thin 15mm tappet wrench is because of this. The locked nut on the stud. I took an...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    I will elaborate on this later. The injection pump is off and ready to send to the rebuilder.

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    After a week on the car crusher I have the time to get the injection pump removed from my M1009 project. I am going to do a picture tutorial for those that may need to do this task. It is very easy and does not require any special tools except a think 15MM open wrench. I will post pictures later...

    Headlights, Tail lights, and horn issues.

    I was just figuring a plug and play situation. Plug the original switches back on the plugs and shazam. That was all I was saying. I would think there are going to be a lot of combinations in the 2 plugs to get everything working correctly. But continue and Good Luck. Be Safe.

    M1009 Rear Window Problems

    Reaching behind the regulator is one move I would pay to see. It is easy but does require the entire disassembly of the gate regulator and glass assembly. Good Luck. Be Safe and Take Care.

    Injector Pump - DB2 Rebuild

    My experience is if the shaft seals are leaking the rest of the pump is in short time to follow. Do it right the first time and change the entire pump or have it rebuilt. I am in the same boat with my M1009 at the moment with a truck I rebuilt from the frame up. It ran and started perfect I took...

    M1009 Turns over wont start/ Not getting fuel out of thumb nut at fuel filter..

    Easy. Remove the right side (passengers) Gen 2. alternator and bracket and you can do 90% of it from the top side. Remove everything including the push rod cover. Clean the area really well and the gasket surface. Make sure you have the correct fuel pump. Post a picture of the lever and we can...

    Can't get M1009 to start, please help.

    Just loosen the 19mm nuts on the delivery nozzles. and crank it over. it should show signs of wet. Give that a try. I just had an injection pump fail in about 2 days from the onset of symptoms. It happens.

    HMMWV vs CUCV Glow Plugs

    I don't think even if they did work as designed I would go thru the trouble to change my 3/16" female spades to bullet connectors. I mean another case of why change the design. Just change the glow plugs to the correct ones and move on. Next time when the HMMWV ones aren't available you would be...

    Identification help??

    I think and am 99.9 % sure that is for the fuel pump on the M1010 model only. Come on. I'm not the only one that knows that. Good Luck and Be Safe. I only know from years of experience.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    CUCV 1 gets my vote. The other ones not very resilient to off road use, abuse and hard use. It is just a civilian built Tahoe that was upfitted by GM Military. Good Luck. Be Safe.

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Minor set back. I have decided to replace the injection pump. It starts cold every time but it just seems to be stumbling a bit on acceleration. I took it for a short drive and it seems that the pump has a bad seal or 2. It shut off twice at a red light and restarted and smoked badly. I am NOT...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Started out bright and early today. Cleaned a lot of driveway and wanted to get a few things completed. Not to be an over achiever but the time is now. The air filter housing was not treated well after sitting under a bent hood for 10 years. Nothing that a scuff pad and sandpaper couldn't fix...

The Yanmar diesel engine will power this unit. Waiting on the main shaft to get rolling along again. Lots of steel and lots of...

    CUCV M1009 Fuel lines

    Everything you have pictured is scrap. It is NOT savable. The fuel tank would make a great drip pan at best if you cut the top off. All the parts you have pictured are available. The little hose with the plug off is useless. Just plug that line. Get a new 25 gallon tank and sending unit. Replace...

    LMC Truck polyvinyl floor covering

    I would say they are not worth the effort. Poor fit and a rust haven on these vehicles that are looking to rust anytime. Be Safe.

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Been a long day. After a week of rain and working solo I did manage to get a big task completed on my project. I have had several times where no wait light would light . Well I phoned a friend this AM and ask a few questions. Being that the glow plug card was never changed ever in the 25 years I...
