And honestly I would check that radiator with a little air pressure. If it don't leak and it is on the bottom tank I would use it. I removed worse radiators from vehicles during engine replacements and reinstalled them because customer didn't want the extra expense. And it is only cosmetic as...

That was why I gave the advise of opening the box and carefully inspecting before you leave the store. And you did get the copper brass. Good Deal. Right now everything is getting thrown around with the flu panic. Good Luck. One good thing is the plastic aluminum always arrived undamaged. Be Safe.

I was calling around for 5 new tires for my M1009 project. I have decided that these are the tires I want. I have used them on several CUCV's and they are great tires. They give the M1009 the look I want. These are pictures on my 2015 build. The Mule M1009. Take Care and Be Safe. Several shops...

Today after working my regular full time job again I returned to my irregular job and picked up my tools and all the Chevy truck parts I gleaned from my tour. I ask the owner about them and he said we will work it out. He was sad to see me go and said anytime I need work to come back. Well I...

I got called back to my regular job today at 0545. Told to be there at 0600. Short notice. Arrived at 0630 and was informed to maintain social distance. Also no 2 people in same vehicle. They are suggesting a divider tent/barrier in the vehicle. Reminded me of the Nova in Deathproof. More later...

Good Deal. I am glad everything worked out for you. The CUCV with a new injection pump is like a new vehicle. It makes huge improvements on drivability and reliability. Thank you for sharing this post. I have great results with most replacement parts that are available. At this point you have to...

I tried everything I could to install a class 3 receiver on the M1028/M1008 without cutting or modifying any of the stock brackets. I found it near impossible. I just added a hitch to an M1028 I removed from a scrap M1008 and had to cut the lower under brackets on the M1028. I doubt I will ever...

I always used the coolant passage on the right rear head. I just sourced a left head sensor and removed the sensor install a brass fitting to accept the coolant temperature sensor for the gauge. That thing is real close to the instrument cluster so the manual gauge harness must be pretty short...

JAKE59. That is a 10 year old thread. Is there something you need for your M1009?

Yes the heater swich and heater switch connection. It gets loose and heats up. Give that a look see. Good Luck.

First full week in the work shut down and staying busier now than when I am at work. This work is dirtier and more physically demanding. I feel like Wall E. But this old truck yielded a lot of bolts and odd and end parts. I cut the gas door panel out for some bartering item. I also gleaned...

I have also used the cube style relay from Antenna Climber on several of my CUCV's. I never cut the harness. The spades were just configured to plug directly into the harness. Never had any failures. I wanted to use something that didn't require all that positive energy exposure in such a...

Check this out. Wiring diagrams and all. Everything you need to know about a CUCV but were afraid to ask. Good Luck.

What model are you working on?

Today was a successful day. I did manage to get both wing/vent windows, windows, regulators and window rubbers in place. Before you begin make sure the J nut is in place below the wing vent. If you don't have it in place when you start you will be attempting for a long time to get one in place...

This is a very helpful YouTube video. I have the windows back in the door and wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly. I have done this hundreds of times but am never above reviewing a procedure to refresh my memory or learn some new tips. this is the first time I seen this video. I will...

https://www.autozone.com/external-engine/fuel-pump/delphi-diesel-fuel-pump-chfp906/489890_5399_22758 I listed the CORRECT PUMP above. Accept no substitutes. This is the only one that will work. They list 2. The ABOVE IS CORRECT...

I used the AC Delco 13G and maintained the stock glow plug system in it's entirety for over 25 years. Never done any bypasses or push buttons. I maintained the system. That means if something went wrong in stock form (and it will) I found the failure and replaced with compatible parts. Even if...

I have encountered the difficult oil cooler line attachment. Not the end of the world. It needs a bit of grinding and sanding and it will fit. Trust me on that. I have encountered the same thing on OEM radiators. I have used dozens of the Spectra radiators and if I did have a problem it was not...
