    Easter find M1008 2015

    So nobody has a tape measure or the time to measure the rear most tire rack hanger bolt from the frame flange to the end? WOW. I guess I get inventive. Find one in my cache of parts. Thanks for nothing. Day light is burning I am out for a while. Have a great day. CUCV's are lined up waiting for...

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

    I use the Ford jack cranks on my M1009's. I get the little clips that hold it fast on the top of the core support and just clip the one piece long crank across the under side if the hood. Beats the pants off of the GM folding crank. I do have that one stuffed in the fender hole also along with...

    Letting the crankshaft drop

    I have changed many of these rear main seals. I never had one that I needed to get violent with. The oil soaked rope came out every time. Solid strand house ground wire may work. I never encountered this. I know when you put the new 2 piece seal up in there it will be tight. Lube it good and...

    Terminus M1009

    Used my old faithful Terminus M1009 over at the woods today. Hauled a load of scrap wood and cut and pulled some fencing. After hearing of the horrors of rusted floors I wanted to share my floors conditions. Most I see have the guns butts area completely gone. I think this is fair condition in...

    Meet Mr Rusty

    Mr. Rusty is out of the garage. Now it wants to wash the windshield every time the wipers are on. Don't know. It was out of fluid and I filled it so it may have been doing it all along. I will have to look at that issue tomorrow. Sounds simple enough.

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

    I had a 1963 Mercedes 330SE. It had one of them lights and a Mercedes tool kit in it. I was offered $200. for that light and the tool kit. I sold the entire car on the bay and it went to California. I never sold the parts separate. That was a cool car. Way ahead of it's time. 4 wheel independent...

    Go figure today I found 2 more of these switches. Oh well. I guess I will just store the new one. It don't eat anything.

    Heater blows cold

    A typical Chevy/GM the first thing that starves for coolant is the heater core. Now you should figure out where the coolant is going. But that is pretty normal to have cool heater and low heat when the coolant is low. Feeds from the top right side of the radiator. Good Luck.

    Rare NOS GM throttle cable

    Can you fix it? I have a used one. A couple used ones. Matter of fact. But I would be willing to look at a used one and see what the issue is. Can't be all that bad. It is the same as the civilian counter part as far I know. I think I am going to but one. Just for R & D.

    Easter find M1008 2015

    I am doing the finishing touches on my M1008 project. Nice fit behind the seat with the tire tools and jack. E brake release was missing the grommet. Replaced that with a donor part. Cluster all back in and the 4WD wiring moved to the outside so the wiring is not visible on the floor. Needed a...

    ENGINE CONTROL FUSE BLOWING #17 20a

    I have an 1987 M1028 all stock good running pick up sitting in my yard waiting for a new owner. Ready to go. I have a lot of vehicles and don't use them so I am moving them along to new owners. I am at exit 90 of I 81 if you are interested. But I agree. If you cut the first wire the problems...

    Rare NOS GM throttle cable

    CUCV's are all built off of 1983/84 blue prints. So they built CUCV's model year 1984-1987. You still buy the parts for a 1984 and you will be good. A few odd parts changed and were added thru the build during them years. Off the top of my head I know the motor mounts are odd, Under cab rear...

    ENGINE CONTROL FUSE BLOWING #17 20a

    That sensor you have shown on the right rear head is the high idle sensor. It can blow that fuse. I don't know how it will react when it is bypassed. I never bypassed any.

    Check temp sensor on right rear head. Could be melted and shorted out.

Good Luck. report back when you...
