Well I exceeded my goal. I have all the lights installed and working. All the B/O lamps installed and working. I installed a new LED license light. It is a Truck Lite. I re-taped all the rear wiring harnesses. I did not take it outside because we are supposed to get rain heavy tonight and...

Enough sitting around and looking at a stupid screen. That gets nothing done but that. Time to get the garage bay empty. I smell fresh CUCV brewing for the slaughter house project. I think that may be my new project name. M1009 Slaughter house return. After sitting wrecked and green fungus and...

2" of tire isn't going to make a difference in deep snow. Taller narrow tires go better in deep snow. I have an M1009 with a 7.6 Western plow. Plows snow like a tank with the stock 31 x 10.5 x 15 Firestone Destination AT. And the M1008 /M1028 I use LT23585/R16 Goodyear Duratracs. They also grip...

WOW. We always tease each other about needing a spotter. Especially in deep mud. I blame my Son's. I say if you would have been a better spotter I would not be stuck up to the doors in mud. HA. I remember when my Son was younger and he would do just about anything I ask him to do. Hold the spark...

Tonight I installed the tires and wheels, the fuel fill, new E brake cable cab to mid ship. Headlamps are back in. I really like the way these trucks sit with the new springs front and rear. No lift kit needed. They ride great with the new 4 ply front springs and set up real nice. I am going to...

A few pictures from last nights work. I replaced the starter relay with a genuine GM relay. I removed a GM stereo and installed a radio close out plate.

We were trying to keep it CUCV related.

Dig this CUCV action. Wait for it, wait for it. https://youtu.be/CW5M5z9J3WQ

And then? Is there a sequel? I think the CUCV was up for the match. The stack bent on the 6.5 reduced the torque that was being applied to the rear wheels. A taller straight stack would help output. The longer stack on the passengers side of the CUCV was an unfair advantage over the shorter...

Another thing to keep in mind. Tight ignition switches can be caused by the lock pin. If you have a lock pin that does not come out and lock your wheel every time. You are going to experience a harder turn of the ignition switch. What I do if I experience hard switch without the steering lock is...

Done a lot of small work the past 2 nights. hooked up the fuel fill and installed the fuel filler door. Removed a GM AM/FM Cassette player from the dash and reinstalled a radio cover plate. Replaced the starter relay with a new AC Delco one. Cleaned all the fuse connections and blew out the fuse...

This is a quick observation and experience. I had been trail riding Terminus M1009 on Saturday at Rausch Creek. We were in a very rocky area. Talking huge boulders. Crawling along and I heard a few axle hits and some rear end scrapping on the skid plate. I started driving down the flat areas and...

they only sell through dealers. That's the answer. https://www.truck-lite.com/content/faq/where-can-i-buy-truck-lite-product

I done a lot outside. Myself. I removed a cab and remounted it from a tree limb. I have had several cab's and tubs from CUCV M1009-M1010. I have an M1009 that I will be re-framing coming to a build near you. That is due January 2018. Completion summer 2018. It will probably be in the garage...

I can help you with this. Do you have a cherry picker for removing engines? Or a building to connect ratchet straps to? Check out my Easter find M1008 thread. Lots of tips. First thing is to get the penetrating oil working on the 4 cab bolts. Get it sprayed up in the weld nut holes really good...

A new GM lock cylinder was about $20. last time I bought one. Seems a bit silly/excessive to do the bypass and push button when all you need is a lock cylinder. But you will still have to bypass the steering lock pin. With out removing the steering wheel you are in the same place. Remove the...

Grease is the key to keeping the rear window regulator happy. Wheel bearing grease/chassis grease. That and clean side runs and polished sash. I have the same one in Crown of Thorns for 20 years. Grease and oil. No spray crap. Waste of time. Also I use the oil can and oil the crank at the driver...

Just for the record. The 6.2 has metric M10 X 1.5 bolts on the starter.(As Mentioned) I have seen many that they used 3/8" x 16 bolts. And they held but not as tight as they should have been. Just for the record. The thread pitch is that close between the 2. Have a Great day.

Not sure if you have al the tools you would need to properly rebuild and calibrate an injection pump. Certain things are better left to a professional. This is one of them items IMHO. I will make no recommendations as to who or where. Good Luck. Thank you.

Front bumper/brush guard all adjusted and tight. Nice even gap across the front. Rear bumper all bolts on and loose. I could not find my SAE flat washers. I will be making an order at Fastenal tomorrow. No half fast work going on here. I have the appointment all set up at Line X for October 31...
