    Easter find M1008 2015

    :???::???: I can not access my account from home since the storm rolled thru last Sunday/Monday night and whacked the computer. Wanted to post the pictures of The M1008 after the return from the Line X dealer. Came out very nice. I had my Son Rick Jr. start an account here so I could keep who...

    Terminus M1009

    it is Blue Devil products, not red devil Well in my case I used Red Angel from the makers of Blue Devil. I think you are an Angel to do the job correctly and a blue devil to waste your time with snake oil formulas. The Red Angel is used for slight A/C leaks. So far all it has done is help find...

    Easter find M1008 2015

    I picked up the CUCV M1008 truck at the Line X dealer last night. It is looking great and the Line X compliments the truck. I am still without internet at home. So I am unable to post pictures. I bought a new computer. The storm done something to the video board on the old computer. Nothing that...

    CUCV Snow Plow Trucks and Spreaders

    It's ALIVE Voodoo M1009 I went outback in the out back thicket and grabbed the Voodoo M1009. A few sprays of starting fluid and it's alive. Not sure why I needed to spray it. But I did and it fired right up went on fast idle and I drove it out. It has the drivers door glass smashed out and...

    Glow plug system strange noise

    It is the relay on the firewall slowly releasing. Seems normal on a few units. No worries. Unless it is effecting the running.

    CUCV 6.2 K5 Trailer wiring?

    Not to argue but your truck is NOT factory wired 24 volt at the trailer plug. It will light 24 v trailers but not as bright as it is intended. I pulled 416 trailers with my M1009 for years with the 24 volt bulbs on the trailer. They work just not as bright as intended. That trailer plug is all...

    Heat works, but gets only slightly warm

    I never had any trouble with plastic aluminum, all aluminum or copper brass. They are just a heater core. I know several members here have heater cores I installed. I use parts from who ever is open at the time of my needs. Most times Autozone is open when I need something I buy it and it works...

    Easter find M1008 2015

    All out in the sun again for a while. I loaded it up and hauled it to the Line X dealer. I have some touch up to do on the under side to cover the green mist. I was sanding mirrors and bezels last night. Then I was building a paint cabinet to get the paint materials out of my shop. I have been...

    Easter find M1008 2015

    I was off the grid for 48 hours. Had electric but no internet. Shame shame shame. We had some serious wind shear damage here in Pennsylvania at Midnight Monday AM. The force was strong enough to topple a 3 ft dry stacked stone wall on my property. I spent a great deal of time setting the rocks...

    M1008 wiring troubles

    The starter solenoid will be marked if it is 12 or 24 volt. Most are. And the engine harness is easy. It plugs in and fits or bolts in place. Sure you are welcome. Bring a camera and take as many pictures as you would like. i am sure you can get it back together. Just keep in mind. mine are 100%...

    M1008 wiring troubles

    I think you need to send me a few more pictures and we could go from there. Are you in a huge rush? That is what always get me. I am always back logged with projects. I do have the parts if you are proficient in replacing the wiring harness yourself. And with this internet. I am only an email...

    Heat works, but gets only slightly warm

    If you have a home shop. I would pull the engine and go over the entire thing. It is much easier on the floor of the shop and you can do a thorough job. Check out my Easter Find M1008 thread. i done several on the floor. I even have 2 engine stands and the floor and wood blocks work better.

    M1008 wiring troubles

    I would start over. That means remove the entire wiring harness and fuel lines and go from there. I have seen the horror. And it was worse on a few. Like I said so many modifications that Bill Nye the science guy couldn't even have figured it out. So my advise is. remove all the wiring and get...

    Heat works, but gets only slightly warm

    I do NOT want to add fear to the recipe of repairs. But a simple thing like no heat can also be a head gasket issue. I would get a pressure tester and check the cooling system. Sometimes it will hold pressure and still be the head gasket. I had an M1009 that would hold pressure for days. But one...

    Rear window slippin' down

    If you are on a tight budget. Just take 2 strips of metal and use as spacers. Measure how far the window drops and that is how wide the spacers will need to be. Of course it will stick out further when retracted but it will stay closed till funds are available to fix it right. That regulator is...

    I am very happy with today's progress and feel if I overdo it something is sure to get messed up. 14 hours is enough for 1 day. Thank you for looking. I am in a race with weather at this point. Rain and cold are the next thing I will have to deal with. Have a Great Day.
