    Why can't I get FM radio?

    From Civilian assembly line. Built on the same line as all the other vehicles. I seen it with my own 2 eyes. Same part numbers on all sheet metal as civilian counter parts. Heavier a few pounds because of add on equipment.

    Leaking Transfer Case - Best Kits for Repair

    I tried to buy but got the message instead that the part was discontinued and/or backordered with no ETA. I knew that 2 weeks ago when someone else posted about them being available. They cried foul because someone had one posted for $61. delivered to the front door. Always have guys like...

    Why can't I get FM radio?

    the thicker sheet metal made the speaker installation a bit harder. Myth: CUCV's do NOT have thicker sheet metal then the civilian counter parts. They were built on the same assembly line at the same time as every Chevrolet / GMC C/K vehicle that was built and at the same time. And it was 5...

    Gen2 light on

    I have had this issue a few times while wheeling. I have had great success by tapping on the alternator gently at the rear area where the brushes and springs are. It has helped seat the brushes and clean the mud out just enough to get the alternators charging again. But I had a dim Gen 2 light...

    Passenger Side Generator one stud burnt through fuel return line!

    Put a rubber hose and 2 clamps in place and call it a day. It must have been misrouted to make contact in the first place. Good Luck.

    Terminus M1009

    We went. We saw. We drove. We got stuck a few times. We had fun. We did no damage and hurt nobody and nothing. All and all it was a great weekend. Terminus M1009 left home with a fresh 686 Tan paint job and came home with all the paint still intact and running fine. Great weekend. Most fun I...

    Terminus M1009

    I have been fortunate. I know the limitations of the 10 bolts and so far I have not messed any up. 1 time I failed to replace the center lock pin and it came loose at 65MPH. Mic drop moment. But not game over. I still made it home on 3 wheels. true story. It was -20 and the house was without...

    Suburban seat swap

    By the title of the thread I thought you were referring to the old school Suburban seats install. 20 years ago. I had 3rd row seating complete with safety belts in my M1009. I used the 3rd row seat and mounted it to the floor behind the second seat and used the brackets and anchor points for the...

    Shim the starter question - 12 V

    Once again. Are we all sure you have good load tested batteries that can take a good load. have them checked with a good load tester and check the voltage and amps after the load test. I have a small computer type that you enter the type of battery and the CCA and iy proceeds to load test. it...

    Terminus M1009

    I picked up 2 new Goodyear Wranglers in LT23575R15 that mounted on 1996 S10 4 X 4 rims as spares. Never used from a state bid many years back. I had a set (4) of Toyota 1979 vintage 4 x 4 truck wheels and used 2 of them as spares for Terminus M1009. They looked so nice white I couldn't paint...

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

    It's just me. But I throw a new set of hardware and self adjusters at everyone I rebuild the first time around. Not worth the time and effort. Probably why I have 2 5 gallon buckets of brake hardware. I still dig thru it once in a while when I or a friend needs something. Other then that it...

    Terminus M1009

    Any thoughts of the narrow tires? I like the look. It looks totally different and much better. Anything that changed the brushed/rolled green latex paint and the dry rotted tires was an improvement. I must say after taking it wheeling a dozen or more times I still like it. I think I am out of my...

    Welcome back Buddy. Glad you chimed in. It seems like a few of us are shunned from time to time. Oh well. Rustystud want to go wheeling with us this weekend. A long haul for you but I have an extra seat in Terminus M1009. You know them guys that can go and at the last minute they can't? I knew...

    Terminus M1009

    Too tired to write anything tonight. Just a few pictures with my narrow 15 1987 K10 wheels with LT23575R15 tires mounted on them. I like the look. It is different and unique. Getting ready for Trucks Gone Wild this weekend.I removed the console from the 1990 K5 blazer and put it in Terminus...

    Terminus M1009

    I painted the 4 wheels twice. Flat black the first time and did not like the look. So I mixed up a batch of 686 TAN CARC and went wild. I mixed to much and just kept scuffing cleaning and painting. I worked my way out the back door and the threshold and interior of the gate. Panted and installed...
