Force into neutral??? Are you referring to the transmission? No power needed to put in neutral position. I think you have loose cables or a bad connection somewhere that made it stop cranking a half second into cranking. That is odd. That happens when jump starting vehicles if you have a bad...

And I always hate to say this. But if you have full coolant in the radiator when cold. Do you ever discover that the coolant reservoir is full after a drive? Do the hoses upper and lower seem to be holding pressure. It is very hard to diagnose from afar. Check your coolant level when cold. Fill...

I have used Autozone water pumps on every vehicle I work on. I and my customers like the ease of purchase. The warranty is first hand. Lifetime. I have NEVER done the same one twice. I change them on every vehicle I rebuild. I have been using the Autozone Duralast. I did notice that they are...

What about the main battery cable on the starter. I have seen these cables butchered / rubbed thru, mis-routed , burnt thru, pinched and new bigger eyes/lugs crimped on with hammers and grounding out. Just a thought. Easy enough to check. Looks a little busy and modified under the hood. Good Luck.

Trouble with a capital "T" And that rhymes with "P" and that stands for pool! No I had no troubles. I sent the truck to a body shop and when I got it back it looked like a brand new truck. All new GM sheet metal on every damaged panel. Now keep in mind this truck was a new in looks and condition...

No that ain't the DUDE. That is an M1028. The DUDE is an M1028A1. You forget I had a few of theses trucks at the same time. my brothers, Friends, Dad , and Son had them also. Along with everyone else that knew me and wanted one. We were producing 1 every month for a few years. I have 35mm...

This morning the transmission went out on the salt spreader truck. It has all forward gears but no reverse. I have a day or 2 to get it back in operation again. Better get started. Can't wait for the ice and salt to be dripping down on me. More later. I have a transmission ready to go in.

What side is the door lock cylinder?

Hate my way. But I would still have the heads checked out. But I would also throw the studs away and put new torque to yield Felpro bolts on the engine and call it a day. Yes of course new gaskets. But like Burger King. All we ask is to let you have it your way. I never had a second head gasket...

Funny thing was it happened a 1/2 mile from my house and I walked home and got another CUCV truck. I need an accident report and the state police thought it was the same truck when I drove up with another perfect CUCV. The pictures were all part of an insurance settlement for the condition and...

I was on my way to work with one of my perfect condition M1028's. The 1991 Chevy ran the red light. At the time this truck had about 5K miles on it.

I think just a bad case of really cold weather. I work at a truck plant and we have brand new ones struggling to get started. -3* this morning and this is going to be the warmest day of the week. Not diesel weather for sure. I am storing all the CUCV plow trucks in a heated building. Right in on...

I was out plowing with the CUCV's a few hours. Spent some time out on the snow blower and then the back pack blower. Best winter combo ever invented. It may look cold but it is about 5*F and the snow never gets wet. I am dry and warm. I was out for 5 hours straight snow blowing. Went home put...

DOG house. Now that is FUNNY stuff there. Yea I am in the DOG house. It is very warm in my DOG house. No CUCV's in my DOG house.

The original fuel filter had a fuel heater built into it. I did see some spin on have a heater. Not all. Many do not. But you have fuel gelling and the paraffin is solidifying in the fuel. You need to add 911 fuel treatment. I had a gel up and stopped at a truck stop and poured it in and like...

Agree. It is not rocket science. It is a metal tube that goes in a hole and fuel flows thru it. Most times I find the issue is the tube is blocked and the screen needs cleaned. Thus the fuel is back pressured and takes the least path of resistance. The small seal leaking at the connection. IMHO...

The ambient temperature of the M1009 Crown of Thorns complete structure is 2* F. It will remain parked. Much more happiness and less pain and suffering for both of us in this weather. Drove my Cadillac Saturday and have been driving my new truck ever since. Better CUCV days will be upon us in...
