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

    It is a standard K30 1 ton truck. Everything on the suspension and frame is STOCK. I hear guys at the parts stores going into the details as CUCV 1 1/4 ton. At one time I chimed in. Now I just buy my parts and move on. My friend told his insurance company it was combat truck and they would not...

    Terminus M1009

    Cool idea. Wonder why I never thought of that? Found this picture on Facebook and stole it. But this is one of my up coming projects. I savaged the 1974 K5 to do this to my hidden M1009. I seen the picture and wanted to share. Donor A pillar. I seen M1007 Suburbans posted here. If I do post will...

    Vaccum pump for 6.2l

    I am in search of a vacuum pump. I am going to go the Ford route. I just had a transmission rebuilt in a salt spreader M1028. $1700. Not bad. The 2008 Chevrolet uplander van transmission cost $3629. to have replaced. It is cheaper then buying a used van. For the use it gets the shoe fits...

    Steering, Tracking, Drift

    My guess in this situation is an outer axle U joint that is dry and tight. I had them that tight I hung on the long end of the axle when I had the short end clamped i9n the press. It would tend to steer to the right side of the road and then the left after correction was made.

    Rusted on wheel, tire flat... now what?

    Rosebud torch it will pop right off. It is stuck on the center hub. A little heat and it will come right off. Report back. No torch try a propane torch. Not likely if you can't beat it off with a sledge hammer. Good Luck.

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

    Tis true. Works great on several trucks we have. Gone are the squealing belts and maintaining the electric steering is NOT required. Will it break. Possible. Not in 153 K thus far.

    M1008 Master cylinder / hydroboost verification

    That is on the attachment plate. I order the boosters for a K5, K10, K20,K30, C10, C20, C30. All the same. I installed many. The remanufactured ones do not come with the mounting plate. And I have used the m1008, M1028 on M1009's in the past with out any adverse conditions. I seen that comic in...

    Terminus M1009

    After a 10 hour day at my regular job I took full advantage of the wonderful warm weather. I hauled a load of wood home and cleaned up a job I was procrastinating on. It is all done now. It had a slight shimmy at 60 MPH but all is well. Short trip and a hop skip and jump on and off I 78. I had...

    Trying to fix issues on new to me M1008 - now won't start

    No such thing. They did have a closed nose starter with a mudder nose. Not very water or mud resistant either. Basically the same starter as every civilian truck had in structure except 24 volt. Send a direct drive 12Volt to a rebuilder and have him build you a 24 volt out of it. Get the same...

    Parts in hub assembly

    9 & 10 go with the upper double nuts. The bottom nuts have a key to prevent them from backing off. That's what I see in the picture. if it were in front of me I may see it differently.

    Terminus M1009

    Today as I was cleaning out Terminus M1009 of all it's off road equipment I came across a glow plug solenoid that I wanted to install a few years back because I had a situation only one time that Terminus M1009 would not start when cold. I jumped across the solenoid and it fired right up. The...

    Terminus M1009

    Today I was out in the yard cleaning up the wood knuckles from the log splitter area. A roll back came backing down the driveway. A man got out and shouted over to me. That he came for the Blazer. Is it still For Sale? I was puzzled. He said I was sent here by a guy to pay you and pick up the...

    Grinding noise when trying to start M1009

    Most times the bolts are loose. They must be torqued. And always replace the bolts each time you remove them. I have never had any break. My luck is good because I am always very cautious. I bought many with stripped / incorrect and broken bolts. But make sure you use the correct bolts. Anything...

    Trying to fix issues on new to me M1008 - now won't start

    Anything is fine. A light bulb and socket work in a pinch. Nothing special needed. Even a voltmeter works. I myself would jump across the 2 terminals momentarily to get it diagnosed. I used 2 torx bits to jump across a glow plug solenoid a few days back. Starting an old CUCV for a friend that...

    Trying to fix issues on new to me M1008 - now won't start

    https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/ECHAR746 Just bought one 2 weeks ago. They are still available. May be an order item but still available. Good Luck. I don't recall the CUCV having a neutral safety switch. Only a place on the switch to start in park and neutral. But no wire on the B/U switch on...

    Terminus M1009

    I pulled Terminus M1009 off the roadside so I can get some work done. It was a magnet for needy people. I may be doing some updates to Terminus M1009 and repurposing it. Stay Tuned for the next season. Terminus M1009 goes to rework. Coming soon to this channel.

    Trying to fix issues on new to me M1008 - now won't start

    Sounds like a combination of bad weak amperage batteries and a bad starter. you can change all the relays. Still won't fix the issue just add more mystery to the equation. Then the TM's that are always so highly recommended here become starter paper for the wood fire. If you remove /unplug the...
