    How to replace vent window seals for CUCV

    I have a pair of the GM vent seals still in the package. Never installed them because they look like a PITA. There are 2 parts. 1 has bent over pins. I may have installed that part but the one to cut the rivets. NOT.

    Terminus M1009

    I have been using Terminus as a mobile tool box and it works great to power my saws all and radio. I left the inverter power on for a week and went to start it. No happiness. Since the inverter is attached to the front battery only the light bulb in my head shown brightly. I have a few of these...

    How to replace vent window seals for CUCV

    No it didn't help at all. All I see is a dancing banana. Very nice. Did something happen here that no YOUTUBE videos can be posted?

    Lmc junk

    Though none of them carry all the parts needed for a total body rebuild. I do. What do you need? Up to and including a complete cab.

    Steering Wheel Lock Feature m1009 missing?

    Helpful hint. Get an old towel. Wrap it around the steering wheel base. No blow compressed air at the 12 o'clock position where the steering wheel meets the column. Now spray some good lube into the same area. Work the key back and forth. The lock pin is in there it is just bound up in dirt and...

    Need advice on M1009 upper ball joint sleeve

    I have changed many on GM 4WD vehicles over the years. I never bothered removing or replacing the spanner sleeve. I had the front end aligned after each ball joint change and never had any negative results. All the ball joints I changed were wore out on the ball and socket and the tapered shaft...

    Where to Buy Valvetrain Components

    OK. I went out and took a look at my rocker arms parts bin. I have 2 of the cast iron sets of 4 and several of the stamped rockers. Both are just as good. I used them both and never had any yeas or nays. So if you are looking for the best and brand new. I am not the guy. I kept them so that...

    Terminus M1009

    My Son stopped by and ask if I built that to get across the stream. I thought hey good idea. Portable bridge. I have some 26' 2 X 14 boards that would mount and make it even. But I am not putting sides on it. Just want it to get about 10 CUCV axles off the ground/skids. Now with the Kubota life...

    Lmc junk

    I had the head lamp bucket experience. I get buckets out of every truck I see them in. They were the same buckets in the vans up till 2018. They just switched to composite buckets. The LMC are scrap. I can vouche for that. The issue is a counter sunk area where the adjustment screw goes. I put a...

    My new (old) M1009 needs a new roof

    I just dug it up again when I was scrapping out that 1990 K5. I knew that. Still the roofs are rustier now. ;)

    Terminus M1009

    I stripped the frame down and burnt everything that was extending from the sides and above the top frame flange. I have hundreds of hardwood imported 2 x 4 X 96" wood boards so I decided to make a cart to get axles and parts off the ground and consolidate them. The frame was rusty and not...

    My new (old) M1009 needs a new roof

    I seen this thread and I wanted to say I have a roof that I am cutting from a 1990 K 5 Blazer. I have seen many of the M1009's with bad rusty roofs. I am going to clip it and save it in my barn. Maybe never use it but I will still have it hanging around. Complete A and B pillar. I will post...

    Fusebox Source

    Are you able to change all the connections into the replacement box? I think I have a parts harness I can send you if you want to do the switch. But to my knowledge the box/block itself was NSS. Not Serviced Separately. At least in all my years I never just bought a box with no wiring attached...

    CUCV door size difference between M1008 and M1009

    They look great. I am sure ORD still makes the tubular doors. I don't like open floor plans anymore on the road or off road. Call me old and fragile. I rode motorcycles all my life. I was on one a few years back going along and someone pulled out in front of me. Not good. Next day at the...

    Spacers to Raise the Seats

    I would make some spacers out of flat bar. Something solid so the seat remains solid in the mounts. If you use a pliable spacer it will just flex the floor pan and seat base causing stress cracks. 2 inch flat bar comes in sizes tin foil to 2" and that would work fine. Use the 3/8" NC bolts and...

    CUCV door size difference between M1008 and M1009

    Barrel bolts for closures? Yea I think this will be booted. You must pay a membership here to sell things. You can of course give them away in the classifieds. Have a Super wet day in Pennsylvania.

    Excessive blow by ???????????

    1/2 gallon a day is all I am allowed anymore. I make the Dunkin Donuts stop every morning at 0500 with the Yeti. Thank you. Still need the door parts? How about just all the guts from a right door?

    Terminus M1009

    Off on another job of sweep and destroy. I picked up 3 alternators at the rebuilder last night. 1 had a bad diode trio, one a bad isolated ground and one had a voltage regulator on the fritz. I dropped off one alternator from the Jersey Indian. Have a Great Day.

    M1031 6.2 Engine Questions

    The vacuum type distributor in the rear of the engine is the vacuum pump for the automatic transmission. It does nothing else and is not timed in any way shape or form. It has an eccentric that activates a rubber diaphragm to create vacuum since a diesel has no vacuum. Have a great day. If it...
