    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    Missing altitude, attitude, roll, ambient temp, barometer, and timepiece.

    Im looking to buy a m1008 cucv

    No answer, huh? Awkward.

    Central FL M1031 project

    Kind of a long drive. Now that yours is done, you can do mine.

    CUCV Replacement Accelerator Cable

    I ordered one from Rock Auto when my original broke a year or two ago and it dropped in. No issues.

    M1028: Turbo 6.2 or 6.5 swap?

    The 6.5 IP feeds my 6.2 more fuel than it can burn, so you can expect the opposite problem.

    Seems like this is turning into a build thread.

    If your brand new front left shock is leaking, but your ride isn't suffering, then it's probably not leaking. Found the culprit. Oil cooler crimp was soaked inside. Been dripping on the shock since time immemorial. Figured I'd rather put breakaway torque to fasteners backed up by something...

    Central FL M1031 project

    Let it run awhile and see if the bubbles clear up. I don't know that you're not supposed to see any, but it follows that you shouldn't, since using the clear hose to check for bubbles is a diagnostic procedure. Could be a pinhole anywhere or just lost prime. If it's running okay, I would keep an...

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    Please forgive my ignorance, but where is the intake ingress? It only crossed my mind because I was thinking of the scoop on top of "the last of the V8 interceptors" and I realized I see no air inlet whatsoever.

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

    Please post videos of this thing running when it's complete. This is one of the more impressive machines I've seen in my life.

    Hope you had a good 4th. You are missed around here. Well wishes and a speedy recovery.

    M1009 frame off restore and modification

    First time I've ever actually seen one in Detroit Diesel green. That's gorgeous.

    Im looking to buy a m1008 cucv

    Just out of curiosity, who is going through people's comments and inserting line breaks? I don't know how much I like the fact that someone is silently editing other people's comments.

    Seems like this is turning into a build thread.

    I found the radiator's out-of-specness to be understated. In a perfect world, I'd CNC 7076 aluminum cups with threaded shanks on the back sides to nut into the OEM mount locations and drop the bushings into. Taking my fixed income into consideration, I carved blocks of closed cell flame...

    Seems like this is turning into a build thread.

    Something possessed me to decrud the pan while I wait for the mail carrier to hand over my radiator bushings, so I took the opportunity to find out if a Rapco top coat will burn off at 200F. For science. At the very least, it'll make any leaks very obvious at first warm up and shakedown.

    Im looking to buy a m1008 cucv

    Here to help. Just figured I'd have the relevant perspective as someone whose only vehicle is a CUCV. Short story long, it has been inop and in pieces about 10% of the time. That's a miss your appointments and lose your job level of reliability.

    M1009 vacuum pump replacement and where to buy

    Yeah, that's ridiculous. Rock Auto is where it's at.

    Im looking to buy a m1008 cucv

    My god, I think I just talked myself into buying a truck and promoting my CUCV to lawn ornament.

    M1009 vacuum pump replacement and where to buy

    I just bought a belt-driven vac pump a couple years ago and swapped the pods. It was cheap. The worm gear assembly it mounts to doesn't break. At most, you might want to replace the o-ring on it.

    Im looking to buy a m1008 cucv

    Something with a Vortec would blow cold air in your face while playing music over cupholders with cruise control and overdrive, a dome light, and legible night time gauges and it would handle better than a covered wagon, even if you never upgraded the suspension. It would make three times the...
