Not sure on the thinking. I had my M1009 taken back to the muffler shop and quieter mufflers installed. I tried it for 2 weeks and didn't like it. Not even Mikey liked it and he likes everything. Both vehicles in formal wear is the way to go. Unless one on the trailer is a blue oval or a sheep...

Irregular work get sets aside for regular work. At this point I will say WIP. Work in progress.

That's the sure way to make it home when you buy one. I always hated trailering them with my Ford F350. Never heard the end of it the whole way home. But Chevy on Chevy. Always went well. My friend is a Chevy guy. He borrowed my trailer and a friends Dodge pickup to go to Texas to pickup a flood...

Come again?????

Brake hoses, u joints, brake shoes and calipers. That was easy. ;) Oh yea. Ball joints also. Why open a crate with a new axle. its not broke yet. Just needs maintained a bit.

This was never covered in the TM's. Well maintained. Only driven during and after snow storms. Lube order followed closely and still problems like this. Man the old M1009. Reminds me of an old song. You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel. 2 foot of snow and plowing to do. That is an easy...

Combatjack. What is it you are looking for?

I wouldn't trade this truck for a new Silverado! I would. I drove a CUCV for over 20 years and still drive one. But the new trucks I have trump the old CUCV for comfort and reliability at this late point in time. That's me and the truck. Reality I have less down time then then CUCV's...

I still have the 4 M1010's in my yard. Whatever you come up with. .040 Aluminum makes a nice rear window in my sheds.

http://leidyrepair.com/ I have used this source for all starter and alternator needs. Also all electrical issues with winches. Very knowledgeable and fair pricing.

I possibly have takeoffs with the plugs and all. Back in the day when I was full blown plow truck building I just cut them wires high and tight. Put Chrome bumpers and full grilles and called it a day. Stopped a lot of questions and doubt. Let me know if I can help.

A bit off topic but of interest. During my travels over the past weekend thru a major snow storm. I had my trailer hooked to the back of my truck. When I discovered the extent of the storm and the unsafe conditions I opted to let the trailer at a relatives place 100 miles from home. Glad I did...

No it was all good. Still 2 days later and I am carrying the ice and snow buildup. Glad I went. When I am afraid to drive I will give up driving. The others on the road that drive at 15 with 4 ways are the real hazards. Snow and ice are predictable. Honda Civic's with bicycles on the roof need...

I started a new plan. Don't work on them at all. Haven't worked on my daily driver in 14 years. I trade them in every 5 years.

I took my sway bar off in the hopes of replacing the end bushings but my bushings are nowhere to be found. The can be purchased at Autozone. Energy suspension ones. Burn or cut the old ones out. It is a 1 1/4" sway bar. You want the part number? Energy Suspension...

Any bargains depends on what I find. Like a picker. I managed to find a few things on the antique side of things. I did ditch the trailer up in northern PA. I was driving along at 60 MPH and it started snowing. It looked like dust on the road. I was going around a turn at 60 and felt the truck...

Sky crane. I put an engine in a CUCV with a tree limb. Helped a guy out of state because he asked me for some help. But if you unbolt the motor mounts and lift the engine you should be able to torch the rivets off and get the cross member out. I would just pull the engine and reseal everything...

What is it you need. I am straight down I 81 exit 90.

No the OEM sending units will not work. I do keep them in place and operational. I picked up the water temperature at various locations. Coolant manifold, water pump plug, Rear of passengers side cylinder head. I also tapped into the oil pressure sending location and T'd the connection with a...

Grease is key. Spray lubes are not worth the effort and oil seems to run down and away. Also the hinges and springs like a good amount of oil. If you ever get the hood off remove the cowl screen oil and grease the cowl mounted hinges. If you do it once they will be lubed for 30 more years. And...
