I will answer. I have a complete M1010 A/C unit. Would like it to leave as assembly. Nevada. Well that may be the problem. If you were closer it would be easy. A little cash and you take it off. I think we spoke of this unit in the past. Hey I don't want to start trouble here but I am answering...

I found a brand new Energy Suspension 3.4118 Body Mount kit in the wrecked m1009. My Son bought it at Camp Lejeune and never had a chance to install it. I checked it out and was unsure if I was going to use it. It is a RED bushing kit and it may be the only color they make it in. I am definitely...

During lunch the M1009 spun itself a cocoon of plastic. I wanted NO overspray on all the nice edge paint and interior doors. It also makes for a nice job because I can spray right up to the edges. These vehicles had very little or no undercoating from new. The floors were basically painted with...

I started out early today and done a lot of yard work and CUCV work. I wire brushed washed, primed, and undercoated the entire under side of my M1009 project. I was very dirty and ruined a set of Carhartt jeans and shirt from a minor hose disconnect during spraying. The cage nuts in the body...

Never heard of that. I used Cadillac/Pontiac/Oldsmobile diesel alternators and had them rebuilt with an isolated ground on both. The alternators are not right/left gen 1/2. They are both the same the one on the Gen 1 drivers side has a block ground on it. I put solid pulleys on all of my...

I am going back out on task. I finished cleaning some leaves from the gutters and that was about the extent of my tasks around my place for the day. Now comes play time with my M1009. I will post a full progress report later this evening. Dirty work ahead. Dawn the head cover and full paint...

I said this to many of my friends. I will never have a CUCV or any used older vehicles as a daily driver again. And working on filthy vehicles is going to be a thing of the past soon I hope. I liked it and done it all my life. My tastes have changed. I like nice vehicles with modern luxuries...

After getting the cab mounts off the studs I decided to call it a day. I managed to complete the task with 0 injuries. As far as dirt. Very dirty job. Clothes went right in the washer so I have the same ones to wear tomorrow when I continue on this task. My goal is to have the entire underside...

I do know that flash makes that underside look a lot worse then what it looks like to me. I was going to just spray DX 330 wax and grease remover on the bottom side blow it dry and spray the Rusfree. But I have a new set ofEnergy Suspension cab mounts and decided to install them. Now comes the...

https://youtu.be/7-nzlKUQ1QQTight work shop today. I had planned on setting the chassis adrift into the driveway but all day pouring down rain prevented me from doing that. I managed to get them past each other even though they are facing each other now. I will solve that problem later. Maybe I...

Today I had a little time after work so I decided to get the tow bar tubes installed. I painted the tubes a couple years back for another project but being late in the season painting is hard to get done and dry. I can paint more next season. I needed some where to hook the tow bar to pull the...

You are right on task. The injection pump is bad. Have it rebuilt or replaced. Don't bother putting a used or a NOS injection pump on. I had a few brand new ones fail a few months after installation. You will be happy with the results of a fresh rebuild injection pump. I would also drop the tank...

Amazon is great. I don't even have to go to the store anymore. New AC Delco fuel sock is a must have item. I also received some unexpected help tonight. My Wife came home from work and was content to help me get the fuel tank and fuel tank skid plate in place and properly attached. Then she...

Looking at the transmission kickdown wire I see trouble and wanted to get the wire tied up. I used some 3M tie blocks. They stick very good on clean dry material. Nice place to attach with a standard zip tie. I also received a new set of Energy Suspension transmission / transfer case mounts...

http://gmauthority.com/blog/2018/11/2020-chevrolet-silverado-hd-teased-as-zh2-military-truck/ I thought someone might want to see this new Chevrolet Military Truck.

One thing I did notice on my rebuild project was back 10 - 11 years ago I had the exhaust custom made in aluminized galvanized steel and the 2 1/2" front pipes are necked down to 2" - 2 1/4" because that is the size of the exhaust manifold outlets. Plumbing rule applies. I will still only get 2"...

Almost. But with a good axle and heavier springs it would be a great start. I think the project I have with mime will be easier. I am just making a flat bed. Someday. Maybe. Then again maybe NOT.

Take an M1008 frame or an M1010 frame and A frame the front frame. That would be the easiest. You could put a tool box upfront and a jack. Done right it would look ok. You can get an axle if you want to shed a few lbs by eliminating the 14 bolt axle. Electric brakes.

I have a 101 frame here. It would fit on one of them.

I was down in the barn cleaning up and winterizing some of my equipment and I was side tracked by my M1009 project. I decided I had to move the M109 back in the bay a bit to fit a tractor in to work on it. At that point I had parts laying out and decided to install them onto the M1009. Mainly...
