Just a little tip. The gear selector cable guide can be fixed with a screw and a spacer. It will work for years. Drill an 1/8" hole in the steel dash and direct the cable over the should of the screw and a smooth spacer to act as a glide area. Or replace the entire cluster. That small steel...

I was content to stop and visit with them. It was only for a short while but it got me in the house and then I just stayed in and called it a day. I am still driving an M1028 as a daily driver so my trips after work are far and few between. After 23 years I lost the desire to travel any further...

I went down and was going to put my left fender on the truck and a friend stopped by. So much for working on the m1009 tonight. Saved from the barn. Was out working on the M1009 plow truck until darkness fell.

Today after work I made a few easy goals. get all the hacked up misfit wiring from the M1009 plow truck. Started with the 24 volt positive cable. Nice stuff there. Nice positive battery post on the 24 volt positive. Why don't it start? Removed all the battery cables and am in the process of...

Thank you AC for the info. I am a sucker for torment. I will be trying to remove all the add on stuff and returning it to stock. I quoted the job and was told it had new batteries and cables. Not the case. Also told it was not modified. People don't understand the importance of the batteries and...

Taken from the TM 9-2320-289-10 The CUCV M1009 has a 6.2 L diesel at 135 bhp 3600 rpm. Not sure where the extra 30 HP are coming from that you have listed. Happy Holidays.

Anyone ever see a glow plug relay like this? It is on a plow truck that I am about to start working on. This is how it came to me. Not sure what wiring was done. It still has te 13G A C Delco glow plugs. Or at least the ones with the 3/16" spades. I see the blue fusible link is cut on the...

You have the parts? I have a few that need tubed.

I think this will work.

That is hard to believe but that is the way they are mounted. And at this late date the cluster is as fragile as fresh potato chips. Be careful and remove the entire assembly only after all else fails. I like to rebuild them thru the front if at all possible. Or NOT. I have one apart now that...

Strange thing was I drove it about 20 miles to the repair shop and the stock voltmeter showed it was charging perfect. That was with no cluster plugged in and the main cluster plug just there empty. I am getting them to fix that dim Gen 2 light with the fan on hi also. He done a few other CUCV...

That's it. I am done with this hacked up truck. I am sending it out to the electrical shop for repairs. I have more important things to address. After I looked under the hood I seen things I don't even know where to start. It runs and drives that part is good. I have it hot wired and in gear...

Happy Holidays to you.

I just went out and turned the key on the wait light came on a few seconds and went off. I cranked the M1009 and it started and went on high idle. It just seemed like the light cycled pretty fast on a cold start. But it is 45* today. It still smokes out the barn bay very quickly. I think that is...

Man you have nice battery trays. Looks like you nailed it with the wiring and the resistor. Happy Holidays.

The 2 at highway speed everything was gone from the front driveshaft but the front yoke and the piece bolted onto the transfer case flange. And I could see it was hot and dry. On the new GMC truck back in 2015 the bolts were loose on the front shaft and that took off at highway speed with 2K...

My diagnosis of the cause is that the CV joint on the front drive shaft locked up and could not articulate/compress properly and forced the pressure back against the transfer case.( the weakest link) I had it happen on plow trucks. 2 already snapped at highway speed and broke the transfer case...

Is it possible the resistor on the heater box is bad? You could also have a few fins broken from the squirrel cage of the blower fan. That is an easy access motor. You may want to loosen the rea battery and slide it forward. I have bought replacements from any brand and have had good luck. They...

My 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 4 door Crew Cab is being made in Fort Wayne Indiana. Here is an copy and paste from a GM letter. Regular cab is last to launch too, I assume due to the fact that Ft.Wayne is handling crew cab and double cab launch production. Once Silao starts spitting out crew cab...
