So now I got the new fuel pump pushrod and new pump installed. After cranking a lot, and sucking air out of the system with a Mity Vac, it finally runs! But now, I have 3 or 4 leaks at various fuel injectors. I did crack them open before to aid bleeding. After tightening them all up, I still...

So if you've been following my posts in the "What have you done to your CUCV" thread, you probably remember my fuel pump issues I've been having. To recap: I installed a new fuel pump because the old one was leaking. The replacement pump is a Precision brand pump. During the install, I made...

I just replaced my leaky mechanical fuel pump and rubber hose. During the install, I had issues with getting the threaded fitting on the steel IP line to match up to the new pump. So during the install, I loosened up the pump bolts, and also removed the IP line from the bracket at the front of...

Yup... I went out earlier tonight and snapped pics of the bad rust infestations on my CUCV. I'm not entirely sure of this particular truck's history, but I'm guessing it migrated from the north. I intend on repairing these the best I can (I'm a metalworker/welder by trade), but my areas of...

I'm diagnosing why my blower motor switch isn't getting any power. Using a test light on the 12v supply wire, I'm getting nothing. Fuse is good. It's a new fuse. The old one melted away, but I cleaned out the socket and replaced the fuse. Since GEN1 is working, I know the circuit is good. I...

So I don't hijack the other "Electrical" thread... I cleaned all the bulb sockets and contacts on the instrument panel today. After reassembly, here's what I have that works: Wait to start/water in fuel (same as before) Gauge illumination GEN2 Blinker indicators I'm missing the sockets for...

I have a quick question regarding the exhaust on the M1009 CUCV. Did they come factory with true dual exhaust? I got my CUCV about two weeks ago, and it has true dual exhaust. I've been doing research and I haven't found any information regarding factory exhaust for these things. Did someone...

Hey everyone! I just had to join up because the vast wealth of knowledge on these forums got me hooked right from the start. Last week I became the proud owner of an '86 M1009 CUCV. It has a few electrical faults, and my research led me to this site. I'm glad it did. Long story short - I'm in...
