    Truck keeps losing it's prime

    I am still not convinced that is the ultimate answer and 100% problem solver. I have the same trucks for over 20 years and they work fine with everything the same but the seats and the paint. Everything else is just fixed and replace with the same LKQ parts. IMHO. They spent $$$$ designing it. I...

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

    They are very good friends. It was all in teasing fun. This guy has trouble checking oil. His Wife can change the oil and the alternator. Both have attempted to put brakes on once. Put them in the caliper backwards. Steel against the rotor. They never lived that one down. That is full metallic...

    M1009 converted to small pickup (The Mule M1009) very handy little vehicle

    After discovering the hot fuse for the wipers. I thought I would take a look at the wiper motor and it was a bit tired. It would not wash anymore and seemed to struggle to keep up in the rain. It was the original GM one. I bought a replacement rebuild and put it on. This wiper motor would wash...

    Terminus M1009

    Biggest , Baddest. I know how everyone tries to out do each other with the biggest and baddest. I gave Terminus M1009 the BB of solar battery chargers. Looks like a flat screen or a lap top. Also wanted to point out a maintenance tip for all CUCV owners. the motor mounts may be bad in your...

    Truck keeps losing it's prime

    Title fixed. The Gentlemen Corvette9 has been loosing prime on his fuel injection system of a 1986 CUCV M1028 A1. I sold him the truck 2 years ago and he completely restored it. He has since had an issue with the CUCV M1028A1 dropping the fuel prime when parked. Several other people and myself...

    Truck keeps losing it's prime

    Sit down and relax. Are you feeling energetic and relaxed? Remove the entire cargo bed. Breath a sigh of relief. You have had this bed off before and it was just recently. It will come off with ease. Beats the pants off one that has not had the bed off in 30 years and was in the north east all...

    TruckLite Flood Lights

    The KC's POD's are large and deep light. I had a bad grille and I cut it even more to allow the lights to set back in. I left the lenses protrude about an inch past the steel. The right one pasted the test taking a direct hit at 65 MPH of a deer. The score was Crown of Thorn's M1009 1 hard hit...

    TruckLite Flood Lights

    KC had the one light to fix replace the ballast and the repair center emailed me and ask if I wanted the other one rebuilt. I said yes. Since my Son sent these to me from Iraq I wanted them to be part of a permanent family possession. I will never sell them or let them go with a vehicle. The...

    TruckLite Flood Lights

    Right Bedside Replacement Panel - My Experience

    Cab Corners and Rocker panels are just cosmetic items on a CUCV. They are just outer skins that were added to RUST and make a finished edge to the door frame. If you get into the pinch weld area where the seal fits then you are going to need to weld. That GM cab corner is a poor design. Designed...

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

    Idling an hour and a half is hardly a true test for cooling capability. Put a load on that truck and drive it loaded up and down the hills and highways and back roads where I live. That will give it a true test. I haul a 6 Ft wide X 10 Ft long wood trailer with my stock Crown of Thorns M1009 and...
