I have a set. NOS original Dodge parts, Government surplus. Guy I bought them from represented them as Chevy M1009 rear springs, which they do resemble. Now I can't use them. Anybody looking for a set? I'm in Lexington, KY.

Can anyone describe the M1009's rear spring pack to me? My K5 needs new rear springs and I have found a local who is selling NOS GM rear spring packs for M1009's that he bought surplus. Crazy cheap price.8) He THINKS they are 5 leaves + the overload. My current springs are 4 leaf plus the...

Sadly I'm forced to sell Big Ugly. Just not wealthy enough to have the money and space to keep a vehicle I have no justification for anymore sitting around not doing anything but begging me to make it perfect and otherwise consume money and half my garage. Guy in Canada on CK5 is ALL ABOUT it...

Anybody have one? I put up a post in the classifieds last month and also on ColoradoK5's classifieds but got nothing worth pursuing. I live in Lexington, KY but have friends and family in the Grand Rapids, MI area and will be back there this spring/summer. I can do either place. Just looking...

So somewhere in the meantime since I last checked my brake fluid my parking brake light has started coming on intermittently. Brakes still seem to work fine. Checked the reservoir on the master cylinder and the rear is mostly full while the front is very low... ...which I think means the...

Just throwing this out there but I have started looking for a M1009 Blazer CUCV or a diesel civilian K5 Blazer or Jimmy. I've got a post in the classifieds but I know not all members visit there very often. Not looking for anything purty or pristine. This will be a Daily Driver and I care more...

http://s554.photobucket.com/albums/jj433/AJMBLAZER/?action=view&current=BigUglypullsexplorer.flv Okay, the backstory. SIL and BIL have a 2001 Ford Explorer 4 door. Nice enough family vehicle now that they have a kid and their dog. Basic SLT with yadda yadda and open difs front and rear with...

Only got the front two done now as other things have gotten in the way but I'm pleased with the results. I grooved each block in two and then siped each of the blocks. Takes about an hour to do the grooving for each tire and about 35-45 minutes to do the siping. Had to get my technique down so...

http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2347738#post2347738 This summer he had a thread up on here selling 6.2L parts to raise money for his mom. I posted a link over on ColoradoK5.com and someone bought the Injection Pump off of him...however he hasn't gotten it yet and can't get any...

Lately I've noticed a small spot or five of diesel on the passenger side towards the rear of the engine under the truck. At first I thought it was the dread fuel filter leak but that seems fine other than the usual grunge. No diesel out of the vent tube running down by the frame rail either...

I rewired the stereo I put in Big Ugly so that it gets only constant 12v. Since there's no accessory position on the ignition switch I didn't like having to either turn the truck on or let it sit there and cycle the glow plugs to hear the radio. Now I just turn the radio on when I get in the...

Big Ugly is still 24v start and the alts are stock standard military issue. Was just wondering if I had to have the alternators tested could I just drive it down to Advanced or AutoZone and have them test the alternators with their rolling alternator/battery tester? Each alternator is only 12v...

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/modules/PNphpBB2/files/dscn1098_702.jpg So I was about to replace the driver's side tail light connector which I have thought was missing one of it's four teeth as seen in the above picture. However I've discovered that the two replacement parts a guy on CK5 gave me...

Thanks to a guy over on CK5 I now know why Big Ugly is dead. Got the parts to fix that but we also discovered something's wrong with the GP controller card thingy on the firewall behind the air cleaner assembly. I'm getting 24v straight through it and to the "in" side of the relay. Looks...

How about a sticky perhaps? Was just perusing the classifieds and was dismayed to find two of the recently listed CUCV's incorrectly identified. Errors in the ads not withstanding both had the M series number wrong. This is a M1008 pickup:

Pieced this together with the help of a friend of mine over on CK5. One 80's Chevy core support air baffle, a little disassembling, one removed knock out, a early-mid 90's Dodge Dakota V6/V8 air intake tube, and two hose clamps...whalla pseudo factory cold air intake. I haven't driven it on...

Thanks to Root Breaker over on CK5 I now have a brand new genuine aftermarket replacement grille for Big Ugly and want to paint it to match the truck. It's the non-chrome silverish paint finish (argent I think?). Should I just spray bomb it with primer and then spray the topcoat on or is the...

See page 2. I'm removing some of the military only parts from my CUCV. I have the CUCV's night light dohickey from the driver's side and the black out lights in the bumpers along with their switches. Anyone looking for any of this? I would like to sell the lights as a set or in pairs. EDIT...

SEE BOTTOM POST This is why I hate working on electrical stuff. Was removing my 24v slave connector today and well...sorta got ahead of myself. First chance I've had to work on it in a while and it was going pretty smoothly. Had the connector itself unbolted from the front of the truck and...

Yep, another post by me. I've decided I want to remove the blackout lights and their switches on the dash. What needs to be done to safely do this? I know the switches can basically shut off the electrical system so I don't want to cheese whiz this and have it come back and haunt me. The plan...
