    CUCV head gasket / head/ or change engine survey

    I still have all the parts and several M1009's in storage. So I hope to someday. I will post pictures when I do. But it will get kicked to the side as Hot Rodding and modification. Not sure yet as to when I want to dive into that project. I still have the parts. Want to buy them?

    Another 6.2 issue bad freeze plug

    You could pull the old one out and replace it with a block heater. Or pull the steel ones out and replace them with brass or expandable rubber plugs to make it easy. Good Luck. I had a tool for installing them. I lent it out and the man died. I never went back looking for it.

    CUCV head gasket / head/ or change engine survey

    Last night I struck a deal with a gentlemen. He has purchased the Mule M1009. It will be leaving at the end of the month. I will be returning it to an M1009 again. I am happy to pass it along to someone that will care and appreciate it as much or better then I have over the years. I still have a...

    This simple switch came to mind. HD and simple enough:).

    seeking CUCV IP Replacement how-to

    I seen that was missing in the picture. I was assuming you were showing that the slotted hole gets used with the peg and not the round hole. Good Luck.

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

    I love my home owners association. I am the president. As long as you don't burn trash or play rap/country music all is well. I may add no lift kits to the new bylaws just for the fun of it.

    Easter find M1008 2015

    Beautiful day in the neighborhood. https://youtu.be/lbsIZIX4BPo When will the madness stop? This is my latest project. To clean up the bottom side of the cargo bed and undercoat it. So much fun here in Jonestown. The geniuses ordered the wrong U bolts for the rear axle. They never allowed for...

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

    The bastards... I resemble that. I don't let any of my tenants work on cars on any rental properties. Been there and done that. Hauled 2 truck loads of tires wheels, engines, transmissions, axles and all from one property. Hidden in woods. After that no more. I always tell everyone. The...

    M1009 Aluminum Radiator

    Well at the current rate of recycling they could quit mining for a few years. Recycling of metals is at an all time high. And with the current plastic / aluminum radiators the demand is even lower.

    Easter find M1008 2015

    I think you need an M1009 project truck to compliment The Dude. Still in the barn waiting for you.

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

    I would still do what I said. That way it is another thing covered. Or add stop leak. NOT.

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

    I would check the little dipstick tube seal. That is a little cup rubber seal like a shot glass. They are known to go bad and make it appear like the pan gasket is leaking. But I would change the pan gasket and the out put seal while I was there. Good Luck.

    Another 6.2 issue bad freeze plug

    Pull the engine and change all of them. If the antifreeze was that acidic the rest are sure ti follow. Same goes for the dreaded head gaskets.

    Easter find M1008 2015

    Well since this is my tread I am always on topic. More destruction of a perfectly good M1028. Oh well it is not mine. I am not doing it either. I did get involved in the rear wheel cylinders, axle seals, new brake shoes. A very sad day at the CUCVRUS camp.I did talk the 2 young men into doing...

    Burnt valve on 6.2

    WOW. I never seen a dipstick that went into the block. My dipstick goes into the oil pan and connects to the exhaust manifold. I have a few CUCV 6.2 engine blocks laying around if you want to start over and build an engine during the winter months. I liked your analogy of the situation. All that...

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

    I would hope it is coolant that was trapped in the muffler. How does the idle seem? Is it smooth? report back.

    Purchasing M1009, Have a Few Questions

    Yes after 22 years of owning the same M1009 I would tend to think they are fine the way they came from the factory. After all the hard use and abuse at times I never broke a frame at the steering box. or had any of the issues that are listed. The broken/cracked frame many times comes from...

    Burnt valve on 6.2

    Get it good and dry and clean it up. i would try JB Weld. Maybe. That stinks bad.

    Crank, NO START after a 100 degree day. No issues since new injectors 3 months ago.

    Common problem. i solved ine by removing the block and adding 2 inline fuses. Done not a problem in years.
