The intended purpose of the rag joint is part of the safety design. With the rag joint the steering column is torn away from the steering shaft in a serious collision. With this U joint it will drive the steering column up thru the cab. It will telescope about 10 inches but after that column...

Same here. I thought I was driving fine all these years and now I find out I was doing it all wrong. The secret is the U joints. :)

I had that happen already. How many would you like? PM me for details.

If it were me I would change the bad delivery nozzle only. If the others are working let them work. Do you want a few spares? I removed them from running engines. I know the diesel shop can test and rebuild them at a fraction of the cost. As I said before I never changed any except when they...

A bad connection at the glow plug or in the wiring harness of the glow plugs. The green glow plug wires are soldered together and crimped together inside the harness. If the connection has gone bad at one of the crimps or solder connections it will create heat. I have had glow plugs melt the...

Not a bad deal. I have some on CUCV frames and parts trucks yet that have been sitting. I buy rebuilt ones. Not sure why some guys always get the bad parts. Hasn't worked out for me that way. I am a price and warranty shopper. it also has to be a face to face deal most times it works out if by...

Could be the starter. Have you had that down and looked at lately?

Right outer axle bearing and axle scrap. I had the roaring grinding sound in my Terminus M1009. I had a multitude of issues with the vehicle at the time. both u joints were bad and the caps were turning in the yokes. Then I pulled the axles and found this on the right axle. at this point I...

I would like to see the fuel pump. I think you may have the wrong fuel pump. I have had this in the past.On the left is the incorrect fuel pump. It fits in the hole and the lever does move back and forth. But note the difference in the lever. The pump on the right the pumping action takes place...

If you can make the intake work you can make that simple plate. You could weld the correct fitting to another flat plate with a hole in it. And it could be made to look professional. Probably a lot less the $30. I paid. i was going to have a few made but was shot down with an Ebay sale of them...

Discontinued at this point. GM PN 14028949. I did have one made at a machine shop it cost me $30. but I needed it for a customers truck. I think Mean Green M1009 has that part on it. You could T off the drivers side idiot sending unit and do it that way. It is just pipe fittings.

Let me see if I can locate one.

The passengers side of the rear of the head has an open port that is plated off. You could use that if you have another threaded plate like the left side rear port has. If you still want the idiot light to work you could move the current idiot light sending unit to the crossover manifold and...

Yes it will fit. It is NOT the most accurate place to check coolant temperature. But many people do it.

OK here we go. I have bought several at Autozone. I have had 0 problems with them. They are less then $200. rebuilt and are a direct fit. That is about all I am going to say about that. Good Luck. Warranted for life. Do as you wish. Find a Saginaw new one or buy a used one. But I paid $159. for...

Come on. Your blocking the hole with the pencil. :)

I had an M1031 a few years back. Same as all the CUCV pick ups. I used Monroe gasmatic shocks. I have all stock suspension. I have new springs but 0 lift other then the 4 ply front springs. They work well as a shock can do on a straight axle 1 ton truck that is sitting on leaf springs at all 4...

And to truly make it easier on the starter and batteries. Remove the glow plugs while cranking to bleed the system. Makes it easier all around. Takes about 10 minutes in 10 minutes out. Shorter then the time it takes to change the starter or charge the batteries. Good Luck. Report back Wednesday.

OK done with the wood pile for the day. My CUCV M1009 has always been the best wood truck I ever owned. It is able to crash thru brush and carry all the needed tools and fuels to get the job done. the trailer is easier to load and unload in comparison to the M1028 i used for years and I never...

What filter base do you have? How about a picture?With out any pocket money or extra expense I would just eliminate the pressure switch. But make sure that is what is leaking. I tapped it and put a self tapping screw in the hole and filled the hole with The Right Stuff. Maybe not the exact way...
