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

    Very NICE. I was scared when I looked at the first picture. Good use of time and effort. You added years to that job.

    need a source for inner fender clips/fasteners for 1028

    They all are about the same. The best advise I can give you is to start all the bolts and use an alignment tool to assist in getting them started. I have been using a 5/16" torx headed bolt. It is a bit longer and helps in getting the bolt aligned with the j nut. These are also self tapping like...

    seeking CUCV IP Replacement how-to

    Is this engine spraying fuel out of the delivery nozzle lines? And did you remove the glow plugs so it cranks rapidly? That is how I get mine to fire up. Even on engines I never heard run before. I had a time a few years ago with a HMMWV engine I installed in a CUCV. But it eventually fired...

    Easter find M1008 2015

    Tore some tape out of all the jambs today. That was at 0700. Then when I went for coffee I decided I needed to whack weeds again. I have a new Stihl trimmer. Amazing how you don't notice what you are missing till you get something new. The old stuff just dies slowly and you hardly take notice...

    CUCV head gasket / head/ or change engine survey

    The top is all sanded and ready for paint. The window rubbers I cleaned up with enamel reducer and a wire tooth brush. They came out nice and black again. I dug all the sealer from the top of the side glass rubbers. I will re-caulk after I paint. Moving along I dug out one of my YOUPULLIT finds...

    CUCV head gasket / head/ or change engine survey

    My M1009 Mule being converted back to an M1009 I went out back and removed an M1009 top from the roof of an M1010 box. Time to get it cleaned up. It has real tree 3 D camouflage on it. Moss is growing on the seals. Some one had a brain storm to put silicone caulk on the top of the seal. They...

    CUCV head gasket / head/ or change engine survey

    This is an assortment of new reproduction parts for an M1009 rear gate. Window crank and all related parts.Been a while since I put one of these together. But I was up for the refresher course. Like riding a bike. Came right back to me. I wanted to make sure the lock cylinder fit in the handle...

    seeking CUCV IP Replacement how-to

    I never seen an electric pump and a manual pump in line. Are you sure you have the right manual pump? I can't imagine how an electric pump would push fuel past a manual pump. And if it did what is the point of both? I did cover the wrong pumps in the past. I wonder if it is that simple that you...

    CUCV 1986 M1008 - In a Real Pickle - Bad Heads - Need Advice

    13 G is what came from the factory. I have the GM part number if you want it. The 13 g is a 3/16" tab. The others have a 1/4" tab. My choice is to retain the 13 G I also retain the ballast resistors on the firewall. I don't have a problem if you don't. But if you want the GM PN for the AcC Delco...

    Easter find M1008 2015

    A few parting shots. I must admit I cheated. I copied off the 1985 M1028 with the lift kit. It was parked right out side the doorand i just kept rotating it as needed to see the camouflage pattern. Have a great day. I have to run. Shower and change then. Party time.

    Easter find M1008 2015

    Went to work at 0500 today. Started a weed Whacker and finished whacking at 1215. Was home and the truck was waiting for paint. Sprayed the sealer and went outside and cleaned the gun and mixed up the Green , Brown , and Black. Sprayed 2 coats of green and time for lunch. That is now. This is...

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

    Down load it and get a good portable Bose head unit. I carry one in my cab of Terminus M1009 when ever I go wheeling. XM and Robert Plant as my copilot. I am a traveler of both time and space. https://youtu.be/hW_WLxseq0o

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

    I done it to several. I think great. I sold a few to guys on here with the Line X. It sure does hold up to years of traffic and abuse. I tried the Durabac brush in liner. Pure garbage. In 2 years I seen a few raised marks be=hind the seat. I tapped on them and the floor went thru. Prepped and...

    Easter find M1008 2015

    Last night was on target. I reinstalled the cowl screen after not thinking that thru so well. You know you can't get that on with the hood in place? I knew that and disregarded it. I spent a half hour unbolting the 2 rear bolts on the hinges and tilting the hood forward and getting the cowl...

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

    Your next project should be learning how to replace the floor pan in the M1009. You have just built a rust whore house in that poor vehicle. Every time you get in it will get wet and it will soak up every drop of moisture it can get. It will never dry and will rust relentlessly. Road noise and...

    What are you guys paying?

    I would NOT buy it. It does look like a hodge podge of parts. But I like parts and messing with things as long as it is not hacked and messed with to bad. I wish you luck. If you are looking for an expensive project buy it. If not and you are not familiar with CUCV's and the inner workings. It...
