It's a CUCV it is supposed to be noisy and have road noise. Want quiet buy a new truck. Anything you add is going to add a moisture trap. I always fight rust and corrosion here in Pennsylvania. I have found that a professional sprayed in liner like my favorite Line X does a great job and seals...

You are asking for a rust haven. Use a seam sealer and clean the area really well before you apply the sealer. The original sealers at this point in time are doing nothing. I would remove all the cowling and clean that area under the cowl screen really well. Lube the wiper transmission and...

I ended the day on a positive note. I could have easily thrown all the column parts in a tote and called it a day. I scrubbed the steering wheel and reassembled the column. I wire tied the hi/lo beam actuator rod to the column. I returned the column to my second floor storage area and called it...

Hey I am going to stand behind my statement that the gear can NOT jump time in the timing cover while the front cover is installed. I have tried to make the gear jump teeth when I was rebuilding these engines. The area is so close it don't allow it. Besides you are pulling back and pushing in. I...

Correct. The 3 bolts only align one way. The pin goes thru the oblong hole on the timing gear. That timing gear cannot jump out of time with the front cover and timing cover in place. Good Luck. Use a magnetic 13MM socket or put some tape in a standard shallow 13mm socket if bolts dropping...

Disconnect the batteries if you don't get to work on that issue. Back in 2010 we had a chassis field fire and 6 brand new cutaways burnt up from an internal short in the alternator. All 500 vehicles were towed to the dealer for alternator replacement and batteries had to remain disconnected...

OK. Wiper switch all back in and wipers work as designed. The park switch wires had some chaffing and the switch was a bit corroded. All is back to normal. I did manage to break the lock clip from the new motor. Autozone is going to warrant it. I was thinking it was the resistors and then I...

The switch is out. Now I want to test the switch on my current build. I have a problem. the wiper just keep running. Same problem I had before I done anything. I will keep trying. It is not the new motor I tried 3 other motors they all run with the switch off. Now I consulted the trouble...

I was very successful in getting the switch out. After looking at everything carefully I see why the column does NOT come apart in the truck. Gear shift lever removed. see the mud inside on the inner lever. That was very easy. This hidden flush piece of plastic cover will play you hard. I see...

Sharky's Machine. CUCV are so tough a Shark can break teeth on them. More later. Be Safe.

Ok this morning is game time. I started out early had my DD coffee and a trip to the hardware store for a few odd Kubota bolts. I went down and spent about an hour cleaning my basement work bench. Only toll I needed from my shop was a steering wheel puller. When I was looking for a horn button I...

So this is an engine you just installed and want to get it running properly? Are the injection pumps compatible with the engine? That is something I can't answer. that is why I recommend a diesel shop. That is above my pay grade. Good Luck. I would help if I could. But my area is CUCV 6.2 and...

When was it rebuilt and who rebuilt it? I know guys that rebuild their own transmissions. They do it every year. They save money that way. Just saying. When and who rebuilt it? And did you just buy this vehicle or just install the engine?

That issue is hard to diagnose. You have a mixed Hodge podge batch of different parts from different years and it would be a guess at best from afar as to what is causing the issue. Could be the advance on the side of the pump stuck. That 1997 6.5 never came with an mechanical pump that I am...

Cheap plastic ones were what came from the factory. And they weren't that cheap. I have a few that still have that cheap plastic one on them. Clum made them. They are different but nothing inferior about them vs the metal ones. I do buy metal ones now from MurCal www.murcal.com Because that is...

OH yea the CUCV M1009 has an HD column. I don't see anything that would make it any more HD than a stock civialian one but someone was fooled by the HD sticker. I think because it don't have acceserie position on the key switch. Anyway. Happy Happy.

I will give this another try. I went down at about 3PM and was done by 330. The under hood column support bracket is held in with 2 M10 nuts. they are 15mm and rusty tight. I sprayed them with PB Blaster. Remove the 6 lag screws that hold the cover plate to the firewall from inside the truck...

My old scrap M1009 still has a few parts on it. It was 39* today and the sun was shining. After digging the black sealer from the under hood column support nuts I was quick to get the nuts and bracket removed. This This is the under hood firewall side steering column bracket. Held in with 2 M10...

It is more than likely the relay/solenoid. Did you test it?

Anyone know is that what someone in the "parts wanted" is calling a type 2 steering wheel? I removed this from a 1987 M1009 many years ago. I was parting out the truck and found it odd that this wheel was in it. I seen a few more CUCV's with this wheel. Anyone know? Have a Great Day. Stay Warm...
