    Easter find M1008 2015

    The M1008 frame is all painted on the top side. i like to clean a frame and prep it good enough to still be able to read the part numbers in the frame rails and cross members after the final coat of paint. I see alot of frames that guys just slop and spray with heavy coats of undercoating and it...

    Check out my twin turbo air intakes on the Crown of Thorns. I know you know what they are. I always have a funny guy at my place that makes things less boring. If operational forcing air into the engine these will add hundreds of horsepower to the 6.2 with the twin turbo system. And then again...

    Voltmeter Reading Question

    You have an after market gauge that gets a ground thru the gauge case/housing. I had this in the past. You need to get the voltage/ ground isolated away from the gauge case. The case does not need to be grounded. The stock voltage meter light has it's own ground. I use a VDO332-902 gauge and...

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

    Heat up the old glass and remove it. They sell replacement glass and you can urethane the new one back in.

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

    Today i broke the back window on Voodoo M1009. Actually I did not break it a co worker did. It shattered into a million pieces. I called the glass company and they will be out to put a new one in on Monday. No use crying over a broken rear window. I would imagine thousands of them were broken in...

    Fuel Tank very slow leak and Fuel gauge not registering full

    Bicycle inner tube lasts about 2 years and is cracked and rotted. Seatbelts have been on a few of my trucks for 20 years. Every vehicle has at least 10 feet of seat belt material. And the nylon is less absorbent then the old tar paper. But do as you wish. I guess cardboard and old socks would...

    Shame I have a few pieces of the floor that would match better. I saved a few M1009 floors just for the patch work. Even the 1974 I just scrapped had a decent donor rear floor on it. I saved it. The self tapping screws they use on metal dry wall framing are the ticket. Or the big # 11 pop...

    best way to level 1986 m1009

    I know exactly what you mean. If I would have measure correctly I could have used all front doors instead of the crew cab and Suburban doors. 2 more knuckles and a fist and I could have put a sliding van door on the other side. It will look much better in the 3 color woodland camo. trust me...

    best way to level 1986 m1009

    This is what the untrained eye sees when they don't know what to look for. This is what a trained eye sees in the stars and constellations. Some time spending a bit of money for a professional diagnosis is less expensive then just throwing money at an unknown problem. And I think the owner is...

    Fuel Tank very slow leak and Fuel gauge not registering full

    It could be as simple as a rusted out fuel tank. And as complicated as a missing fuel tank vent hose. Still all and all a needed fix and update. Time to clean ,replace , sand and paint everything that you remove and expose. Good luck. use a little heat on the fuel tank strap nuts to get them...

    best way to level 1986 m1009

    I have a local shop that is called Garden Spot frame and alignment shop. That is what they do. They are a full service truck garage. I doubt that anyone will diagnose for free. But that would be the easiest way to get the diagnosis if it bothers you that much. Mine was a gate closing issue and...

    best way to level 1986 m1009

    Take it to a frame and alignment shop and have it properly diagnosed. You could be wasting money on everything and it has a simple fix I think we all got that covered here. Pictures of a leaning truck? Well I guess so. But not sure what that would tell us. Lets try and see what the pictures can...

    Fuel Tank very slow leak and Fuel gauge not registering full

    Common to have a fuel leak. Maybe if you have a fuel leak somewhere. But I would not call that common. I would call that get out there and fix that Exxon Valdez. There is no such thing as a normal fuel leak. A common area they leak from but it still needs fixed. Have a great day. ;) . Have tool...

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

    I would say it was also an easy way to lose some weight on the trucks. But if they are that bad and rusty the nude look is in. Let them rotors all hang out and shine. Unless you can figure out a glare less rotor surface. Maybe rotors made from hemp. Wow man far out man. I would be smoking my...

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

    Same as it ever was. Nothing special about any of these CUCV's when it comes to axles and suspension.
