@ezgn it sounds like one of you should make a How to Video with the whole lining up the Timing thing. That could be very cool and helpful to others in the future. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Squibbly you are so handy!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@ezgn I haven’t driven it since they were installed. The bozo mechanic bent my Oil Pan while he installed the motor mounts. I was paranoid that the oil pump might be damaged and didn’t want to even drive it. So I had it towed to another mechanic I’ve used before. The Oil Pan has already been...

@ezgn glad I got the proper one! It should be here Sunday. I’ll let you guys know how it all goes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone know the correct Transmission Mount(s) for a CUCV M1009? What’s the Part Number(s)? This is the one I ordered on Amazon: This is the one I ordered from 4 Wheel Parts: I’m not sure why, but my mechanic buddy says the Black One (top pic) is wrong. Not sure why?! Someone on...

I haven’t been on for about a month. Look how this Topic has grown. Wow! You guys are having a good old time with the Fuel Gauge. What a mess huh? I’m stating the obvious, but if you take your dash apart again, make sure that Big Main Plug clicks back in on Both sides. It can make a huge...

@cucvrus Rick, I have a quick question. Should I use the small separate rubber part of the Oil Pan Gasket or just put Gasket maker in it’s place? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@cucvrus Hey Rick!! I will check all of those things! The Engine, as far as I know, is the Original 1985 6.2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am wondering, when installing a Starter into my 1985 CUCV M1009, are Shims required? Not long ago the Old Starter was sparking when I started the engine. I discovered the whole starter was lose. The Cover was also lose and a Bolt was bent. We installed a New Starter, my buddy just had to...

p.s. @cucvrus Rick, The Rear Main Seal isn’t something I should address as well? I had it done not long ago. I have been fixing seals, so I can’t say whether it’s leaking or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@cucvrus Thank You Rick! I ordered a used one, but the idea of hammering my dented one out is a good one. I may have to do that if the pan I ordered doesn’t get here in time. From what I read in the TM, taking the Pan off is fairly simple. It’s just a matter of unscrewing all the pieces, then...

@cucvrus @87cr250r I crawled under and took a picture in the daylight. He did quite a number!! I ordered a used one from Mike M in PA. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@cucvrus awesome!! Thank you for the information sir!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@cucvrus Rick I already ordered the Transmission Mount. I’m thinking we should change that too? Is it hard to change this? Will it require any special tools, etc.? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@cucvrus Hey Rick! The Bad News is we bent the oil pan while raising the engine to replace the Motor Mounts. We got the Drivers Side fine, but it bent while doing the Passengers Side Motor Mount. I have a mobile mechanic doing the work, I told him not to do it that way but no he didn’t...

@cucvrus Hey Rick! I now have both sets of Energy Suspension Motor Mounts. I will be taking them out of the packages, very carefully so I can send one back. I can tell you off hand, the 3.1116G type are more rounded around the edges and slightly thinner. I can see that through the clear...

As far as the Transmission Mount goes, should I replace that as well? If so, what’s the Part Number? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just went out there and tightened it real well with an open ended 16mm wrench. Let’s see if she holds!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We just installed a new Water Pump and a few other items. In the process we had to remove the Belts for the Power Steering Pump, etc. After putting things back together, I heard a rattling sound from the Power Steering Pump. The Bolt that tightens the Power Steering Pump onto the Bracket...
