    CUCV oil cooler lines from NAPA

    I have a new flash. A C Delco is NOT genuine GM parts. I call for genuine GM parts the oil lines have been discontinued for about 8 years. If you don't see the GM sticker on parts and they only say A C Delco they are just knock off parts like the rest of them. However when GM and A C Delco were...

    Terminus M1009

    ???? And this is very nice information. But what does it have to do with Terminus M1009, tire codes, skid plates, or anything that is on this thread? What issues are you having in typical areas? Getting hung up on rocks? Getting dry rotted tires? Terminus M1009 does not have rust. It has beauty...

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

    That's too expensive for my job. I see no point in using Stainless Steel rivets to hold non stainless steel sheet metal together. It will rust all the material away and the rivets will remain. See my point? Stainless on stainless you are on target. Them rivets are made for more precise work then...

He sent me the cooler lines and will be dropping the truck off. he had called me and ask me if I would do the job his were leaking. I said yes I could replace them. Do the Balkamp NAPA lines fit. I have...

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

    You can make it look good. I have had a few CUCV's with patches pop riveted on. I paint them and they look good. Depends what my intended use is. I plan on riveting a left 1/4 panel on Terminus M1009. I am going to cut it off of another K5 blazer and just rivet it fast. I never seen pop rivets...

    Truck keeps losing it's prime

    I knew I had this picture. Remove this piece. Screw the hole shut. Test with vacuum pump. Sealer (Right Stuff) is optional. I preferred as a secondary seal. You can reinstall the same fuel filter and be on your way. Down time about 1 hour for us older guys and cost is 1 screw self tapping...

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

    I never cover the rivets with body fill. That will not work to well. I just let the rivets exposed. If you rivet and cover with body filler you are asking for problems. Youi have the rivets and the holes/edges front and back to absorb moisture. Moisture causes rust and that expands the body...

    Truck keeps losing it's prime

    That picture is the fuel filter base. It is bolted to the fire wall with 3 - 3/8" bolts. you will need a 1/4" nut driver (fuel line clamps) and a 9/16" socket and remove the entire fuel filter assembly. Remove that foam/plastic disc (2 wires) behind the filter. About the size of a half dollar...

    Truck keeps losing it's prime

    Quick tip. No expense or redesign needed. I had this problem on my Son's M1028A1 and a few of the CUCV plow vehicles. I removed the pressure sensor. Not needed anyway. I put a self tapping screw in the hole in picture 2. I checked the seal of the screw with a vacuum pump. It held. I filled the...

    Truck keeps losing it's prime

    Is this from cold start? How do they start the rest of the day after the fuel is re-primed? And you checked the round plug behind the fuel filter?

    Terminus M1009

    The tire has a code BF60 RLU 163. I was thinking 1983.

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

    These are old style 3/16" pop rivets. They have the expandable shank and the expelled mandrill pin. I use a pneumatic rivet gun. You could probably pop them with a good quality hand rivet gun. Do you need some rivets? They have about a 1/4" grip range. I use a 311 drill bit and caulk and rivet...

    Terminus M1009

    I put one of my worn out Goodyear MTR Kevlars on the right rear of Terminus M1009. How do I tell how old the Uniroyal tire is. I removed it brand new from a spare tire carrier in an M1009 20 years ago. Strange thing is it has raised white letters.

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

    Old thread I thought I would update it. I sort of forgot about this thread.I added some woodland camouflage to the desert tan Mule M1009. This is what you call real tree camouflage. Off to the bush to get some work done. I want to do it in extreme secrecy. Well it wasn't blending very well. I...

    Terminus M1009

    Cross member study, research and design So I dug out these cross members and just looked at them. I did some side by side comparison. I am thinking the one on the hood may be better I can bolt it on the sides of the frame and the bottom. Close the open channel with 3/8" X 3 flat bar and form...

    Terminus M1009

    Not sure. I do NOT want to build a mud basket up under there. I am approaching this project with my thinking cap screwed on tight. I want to explore all options. https://www.performanceonline.com/images/T/TCM7387_250_NEW.jpg I was looking at this as an option. It does not specify 4WD. I need to...

    Terminus M1009

    I found a few HD cross members while digging around thru a few of my sweet stashes. I will post pictures of my finds. I think I have this figured out. I think a smooth bottom is the way to go. I still like the stock wheeling challenge of the M1009. I wheeled big trucks and small trucks. I guess...

    Tighten power steering pump and alternator belts- no helper.

    That was on all my Isuzu diesels. I had it on several Bobcats also. Mainly on Isuzu diesel engines. It worked awesome. I can not find anything wrong with it at all. made tightening belts a breeze. I had Isuzu diesel troopers and pick up's they were great vehicles. I seen them on Hyundai's...

    Tighten power steering pump and alternator belts- no helper.

    I prefer this type of belt adjuster on pulleys. IMHO they are the best kind on V belts. No prying and guessing.

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

    Started driving my Mule M1009 to work again. Makes sense today it was 90 degrees. NO A/C. Not a smart move. may be back in the Silverado.
