You put the 4WD away for the winter? I am still getting mine ready for winter snow patrol. Added a 2004 HD2500 to the fleet as well.

Bought 2 new brake drums from NAPA today. Autozone would NOT match the price. I paid $61.75 each for them. They are the 13" X 3 1/2" brake drums. The ones that are on the M1008 are fine but they are rusty and I am tired of cleaning rust from the exterior of the drums. New ones will look so nice...

They seem to run forever and the speed never seems to hurt them. I feel that maintenance is the key. It is not how hard you run it. It is how well you maintain it. I use many things to the full potential. Yesterday I hauled a 24ft truck body to the scrap yard. I pulled it with my M1009 and my...

The 16 " wheel they have listed is a 16 X 6.0 and I think it looks like a ford wheel. Center hole looks bigger then Chevy. Don't matter. Happy Holidays.

No M1009 wheels today. Steering wheels. M1009 wheels are very hard to come by. This is one of my all time favorites that was listed. That is some funny stuff. The plug is cut off and all on the under dash diagnostic plug. I have been hanging onto every M1009 CUCV wheel I have. Happy Holidays.

That was the only thing I saw on Ebay. That is NOT an M1009 wheel. And that brings up a good question. What is the stock wheel width on a CUCV M1028? Happy Holidays.

I put 174K on an M1028A1 in stock configuration. Drove it coast to coast 2 times and hauled anything and everything with it. It is still running and I sold it to a member here. I maintained it well and it never left me sit. Happy Holidays.

Not everyone wants to drive at 55 MPH with the engine screaming in a pick up truck. I do when at work and it gets annoying very quickly. I done it (M1028A1/M1028) for 23 years and sold my personal M1028's. But on the other hand the M1009's will cruise all day at 75 MPH with 5 people buckled in...

I had the transfer case rebuilt on the Big Red M1008 plow truck. It was leaking and I was tired of the oil spots on the garage floor. After the abuse and hard use last winter I was happy to get it fixed and freshened up. Total cost was $365. It is as good as new now. Let it snow. I am ready for...

Any 6 bolt Chevy rim will fit back into the 50's. I have used Rally wheels as spares when the CUCV M1009 get hard to come by. The stock wheels for an M1009 can fetch $150. each if you find them. But you can get by with a standard 6 lug 15" wheel as a spare. My 2014 Silverado has 6 lug wheels...

I think at $100. I would take my chances with a bought locker. Welding does not seem like a good option for long life and longevity even off road. I can see many issues with that method. Maybe demo derby but that's as far as I would trust it. I like things done right first time. Or not done at...

I would think gunning it like that would dump a lot of fuel that the engine cannot burn under the conditions you are showing. When I wheel mine in deep mud and snow and spin the tires it does smoke more then driving it normally. Going up hill full throttle it tends to smoke more. I don't think...

I have had great success just putting cable lube on the cable after pulling it out and then reinstalling the cable. Happy Holidays. Good luck. Spray a little cable lube into the speedometer head. Don't go crazy. The cable is a bit dry after 30+ years.

Personally on this light duty truck I would not try to go back and repair what is already done. The cure may be worse then the illness. I would not weld on the flanges after you have been cutting and drilling on them. That will just weaken them further. I would just let it alone and I feel it...

Are the belts squealing? If they are you have to get them tight or replace them. If not the alternator is in need of a rebuild. Check your wires and make sure they are tight. And Generator 1 has its own ground. Check that wiring and the belt and then report back.Good Luck. Happy Holidays.

I would tend to think that the glow plugs have cycled heated up and they are now cooled or cooling off. The glow plug card does not know if the engine is running or not. To my knowledge they will get hot and then you turn the key and the engine starts. If you have the resistors bypassed they...

How about some pictures of your M1010.Happy Holidays

I sold this one for $8. K 5 years ago. Rust free all original. This one my Son spend $7.K on and I know it is used a bit hard but still very rust free. This one is rusty and has been used hard. I would sell it for $2.5K But it is 100% stock and runs great. So prices do vary. Back in 2006 I...

The part in bold is another concern I have. At the minimum I will be doing a serpentine belt swap which I've heard is good for making up around 10-20hp worth of losses and making my own CAI. Indeed that is bold. I have to ask how a serpentine belt will increase an engine that has 135 hp by...

Yes I have replaced it. The best replacement was with a civilian one with the idiot lights. But LMC does make the printed circuit board and it is about $100. I found several at YOUPULLIT's but they are far and few. I would still be wiling to guess you could repair the current one you have with a...
