I live down in Valdez but it's warmer here than -20 so I can't offer much advice, good luck and enjoy your time in Alaska.

thanks I wanted to thank everyone, this thread has been really helpful. I am going to replace my leaky lines before I begin my road trip. Amazon and Rockauto have the lines from both Dormon and ACDelco. The ACDelco numbers that I found by cross referencing the Dormon numbers are 12472196 and...

I have an M-1009 that, as the title implies, has been having some issues. Last Saturday, I was up in Anchorage when I started having a grinding noise when I would fire up my Blazer. A very good friend and technical consultant told me to investigate the starter and sure enough I had a broken...

Thank you, I could have sworn I look at that TM a hand full of times and never saw that.

I have a M-1009 and I am missing a bushing in my shift linkage. In TM 9-2320-289-34 on page 363-364 (5-3 & 5-4) it shows the linkage leading into the transmission. In that diagram I am missing the part numbered 15 but in the parts listings there isn't part number for it and NAPA here is of no...

My apologies, just was trying to give fellow members a heads up. I modified my original post and I browsed the rules, I believe that my post is ok now, please let me know if there is any problems and I will delete it or edit it as necessary.

I was looking at buying this but I think that I need to exercise discretion...unfortunately. So if anyone is interested check it out it is can be found by searching for Fairbanks auto auctions.

So if I understand this correctly I will need a new woodriff key and a new bolt and thick washer? Is this a easy to find item and are there certain ones that are better than others?

I haven't had much luck trusting what those auto parts store tell me, I would get your old one back and get a rebuild kit from CUCV electric and rebuild it while you are waiting on your transmission to get rebuilt. That's my 2cents, I am sure other member will be chiming in as well and most of...

My thoughts and prayers will be with you and yours.

As I said in the previous post, slow is the word as is computer issues. My computer went all :doghead: :wreckerman893: on me, so I re installed windows and after several nights on hotel wi-fi I managed to download enough updates to get my computer working again so I can get this post rolling...

My issues with my computer and camera appear to be over so my post begins. Some of you may have seen my post titled, "should I?" and I can now change that too, I am on the way...slowly...very slowly. My old girl "M-1009" has been towing a 6x12 trailer towards the west coast from...

Thanks That is pretty awesome fire extinguisher, thank you for all the great posts, it's really fascinating information. (Baltika #4) :beer:

I am planning on dropping my transmission pan and changing the fluid before I drive out to Alaska. The thought of another controlled spill of the transmission fluid, while fun and exciting ;-), is making me think of getting a replacement pan with a drain plug and maybe a temp sender. The pro's...

That's pretty cool, I will have to keep an eye out for one of those.

Looks good and looks manageable, thank you. How did you hook it up? Did you use the existing steel lines? Did you bypass the existing cooler/warmer?

Like the previous reply says, I just bought a cooler. Do you have any advice with the installation? Any photo's? Did you have to cut the steel lines?

I bought a Hayden cooler and it should be here next week. How did you hook it up and did you have to cut the steel lines? How hard was it to install and do you have any advice? Would you have any photos?

I have been doing a fair amount of research lately in preparation for my move and one question that I keep hearing is about transmission coolers. As I understand the TM's, all of the CUCV's have them, but I hear a lot of people (some of them have recommended coolers for my journey...2500 miles...
