I was only searching for pictures and that one came up. I did not even want to post it. But Whoop there it is. Happy Holidays. I will get a picture for you today after my sentence is complete.

I did use some of the 686 CARC TAN paint I had left from my Mule M1009 project. I disassembled the entire mower and taped it all up so it would look nice. It was RED from new. it is nice to get closer to the basement door with then my Mule is. Besides I like being creative, designing and...

Wow. You have fun with that. At that price I bought a VDO tach and also have water temp and oil pressure gauge. A lot less work and left the stock wiring harness alone. But do as you wish. My way is the easy way and is a plug and play. The other way involves deep surgery of the wiring harness...

This is my Easter Find thread so I took a day off from CUCV's and raided my scrap pile. I made this handy wood hauling vehicle. I use a retired Honda riding mower and made a rack to haul wood up from the end of my property. I wanted to share this and if you notice the hitch was on the M1031 that...

I just hit the remote and turn up the Led Zepplin. It seems to silence all the squeaks to an unnoticable symphony of sound and music. Blends right in with Whole Lotta Love. 6 Speaker stereo in the M1009 makes for a great sound system. With acoustic qualities of an empty 55 gallon drum. CUCV's...

WOW you can hear the squeaking? I never would have thought.

I only have 1 heating element in each engine. Seems to be perfect. That is all that came from the factory in 6.2 diesels back in the day. When I worked at the GM dealership I used to drill a hole in the drivers side fender and put a flush mount receptacle cover on every state/municipal truck...

You are a Genius. I am so sorry that all I do is try to help people out. But the guy had 2 posts and it seems that many think the only way to get the CUCV glow plug system to work is to cut wires and modify things. Thus my reply to do as he wishes cut the wires or just replace the circuit card...

Why? Just replace the circuit card and let the system take care of itself. No really I don't understand what you are trying to do. But if it were mine instead of cutting wires I would read up on the glow plug system and fix it the right way. Or just start cutting wires and make it another CUCV...

I keep 2 CUCV plow trucks parked outside plugged in 24/7 during winter months. i leave the heater controls in the defrost position and temperature control on hot. When I get in them the wait light comes on about 5 seconds and starts like a summer day. The windshield is never iced up and I can...

Yes that cover with the 4 bolts is the governor. But I agree. that transmission is leaking more fluid then it is holding. It is time for an overhaul. Good Luck.Money well spent. It is less expensive to do it now. If you run it till it burns up it can take/ruin more parts with it. Up to and...

Red Wolf any updates to this issue. Been a long time.

I say if it's not broke don't fix it. I had mine clunking and grinding a few times in Terminus M1009. 10 minutes later it worked like a champ. So I cannot say what the issue is 100% but when I changed my fluids everything looked great inside and this was a plow truck for 20 years. So I know it...

I would mount the tire to the front frame via a class 3 receiver (home made) and avoid all that stress on the brush guard and the bumper brackets. I beefed these front bumper brackets up because I have always seen the minor cracks in the bumper brackets. I added the second gusset to my bumper...

After driving M1009's for 20+ and new Chevrolet pick-ups. (my 2014 has an Eaton locker) I have had the situation you described. I have off roaded my M1009 very hard working and playing and I think that the rear has a safety built into it in so it does NOT violently lock and engage. It would make...

Its common that these Blazer or Jimmy filler neck covers took alot of abuse and need to be replaced when doing a restoration. If yours is rusted or dented its a good idea to replace it with a reproduction that was made to the original mold for proper function and easy installation. These are...

I mis typed Horn Ring Bushing Spacer. Glad I could help. But I think you can buy them parts at an automotive parts store. I have in the past. I think it was under the HELP packaged items. they make older hard to find items and sell them pre=packaged. I will look today when I get out. Good Luck...

spacer ring GM # 9754764 It looks like it was used all the way back into the early 60's on a lot of GM vehicles as a horning bushing/spacer.

OK I called the steering arm gear (34P) a pitman arm. And yes my Son's has an angled steering arm gear (34P). I change the tie rod ends when they look like the ones in your video. I just go thru everything on these old trucks. I change the ball joints and all the steering linkage along with...
