Oh yea that leak. Nailed it. The O ring was split. From cranking the truck over it drained the transmission pan and...

    Easter find M1008 2015

    Gifted M1008 Stock starter relay Thank you to who ever sent me this starter relay. i don't know who. It was in the mail today. It may be a gag gift since you all know I use them. I am OK with it. Matter of fact I needed one for my project. It is a brand new AC Delco. It must have been someone I...

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

    That won't work here for me. And I am not very fussy. 60 miles per hour 4 windows down A/C is NOT going to cut it. I have a Good Wife. I want to keep her. If I give her a CUCV to drive. lets just say. Never mind. I wouldn't do that.

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

    I was thinking the same thing. Not worth the risk. Fix the odometer and be honest.

    Easter find M1008 2015

    The truck is running. I put 10 gallons of Diesel in the tank last night and cranked it a few times. Today I went out and cranked it 3 times for 15 seconds and the fuel was at the nozzles. I think letting it set all night with the pressure from the fuel pump on the tank helps get it primed...

    You James Bond secret agent man you. https://youtu.be/ye8KvYKn9-0 For state inspection the speedometer and odometer must work. That is Pennsylvania law.

    Missing rear window crank

    That big wing looking thing is part of the window regulator not part of the window crank. The clutch assembly engages the wing looking thing and winds the window up or down. You will need to remove the rear cover panel on the inside of the gate and get the window seals out so that you can remove...

    Easter find M1008 2015

    NOT KNITT PICKING. You just ruined my entire build. ;). Would you like me to send you 2of the clamps and the hardware to do yours that way? I can do that if you like. I have been doing that hose routing. I like it better then the hoses laying under the battery tray. I think it looks neater and...

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

    Don't worry about which one went to which one. they are all the same length. If you figured out by looking at them top from bottom you done better then I could. I threw away several I had in a box and never looked back. Next time just cut an x in a box and keep them up up and in order. Or NOT...

    Stuck Headlight Switch Operating Rod

    The dim headlamp on one side could be as simple as a bad ground at the radiator/core support or in the headlamp socket itself. I am not sure what tab you are messing with. You know what I mean?

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

    Yes they do have an up and down. I pull all mine out and put them in a box in the same order I removed them. Up side UP and down side down. Let me get a look at one tomorrow. I don't recall a difference either. Did you at least keep them in order? Or did you throw them on a pile? :) Just asking...

    I agree. I wheel an M1009 very hard. I am always aware and thinking about the limitations of the stock axles. I do NOT spin crazy and wildly. I am running LT23575R15 tires at the current time. Great traction and no problems. I ran stock 31 10.5 X 15 tires and still no trouble. Even in deep mud...

    Locking Hubs m1009

    If nothing else and the O ring is still in place. Put a little dab of grease on the flange and reinstall the lock out. Not a bad idea to take the lock out apart and clean the mud and dirt under the free/lock handle. That mud can really pack in behind there.

    weird no start issue (fuel related)

    Did you open the 19MM nuts at the delivery nozzles? I would do that and remove the glow plugs and crank it till you see fuel leaking at the nozzle nuts. Tighten them up after you see fuel reinstall the glow plug's and start it like normal. Glow plugs removed helps spin engine faster and easier...

    Keep it out of deep water. Unless you want to take everything apart and service it every time. It is NOT designed to go thru deep water. I have one that is contaminated with water almost every time I off road it. Making a snorkel will just be the tip of the iceberg. Every joint cap dip stick and...
