Do you need that reinforcement?

I was told to never use U-bolts over again. I have but only in a pinch. They are about $10. each. It only cost a few dollars more to do the job right. And experience has told me you spend twice as much on the second repair after the savings repair. Looks Good. Keep up the good work. Happy New Year.

Hey if you want to do the job right and 100% I would replace the springs completely. The feel and levelness of the ride and height is like new. Face it them stock springs are sprung. They need new springs to give the factory ride height and smoothness. Good Luck. Check out these part numbers...

WOW someone really went wild with the red paint. That cowl rust is more prevalent then most people realize. You are doing the right thing stripping everything out of that cab to do the blasting and repaint. I see guys painting entire cabs with the seatbelts and glass still attached. What a waste...

GREAT SUCCESS: I have sourced a new Delphi fuel lift pump for a CUCV. A Delphi HFP906. I am trying to do some negotiations to get more. I just wanted to put that out there. They are available but like other things there is a shortage of automotive parts and everything else. If someone is in dire...

Very Interesting. A ride on broom. I was always a push mower guy and still use the Honda HRX217 to push mow the lawn. I have 2 Honda tractors that I could use but I need the exercise. I see the ride on broom in your picture. WOW. Nice. I always sweep the shop with a push broom and every time I...

GM has discontinued the fuel pump. GM part number 25116503. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ado-43254 https://www.wholesalegmpartsonline.com/products/GMC/PUMP-Fuel-Pump/3002887/25116503.html https://www.ebay.com/itm/265318953957

Good Luck. I am going to be talking with the local GM dealer and see if he can get me an origial Delphi pump. You have a relic from the past with that original AC fuel pump. I am still weary of that left pump doing the job you intend it to do. I have been down this road several times and have 2...

CODE RED: That does NOT look like the correct pump. Just saying. It has that slight bend curve in the end of the arm. That style has free play in the stroke. The box had the straight lever. I am just pointing it out from far away. Some looks odd here. Place it in the palm of your hand and...

Easy way to test is if the resistance pumping action begins immediately upon depression of the lever. No free play (zero) It will have immediate resistance and the pumping begins. Make sure to change the push rod cover plate gasket at the same time. Grease the push rod and shove it. Assemble all...

I think I should fill my suitcases with CUCV parts and the clothing and any other needs for my visit could be exchanged in trade at the airport. I am going to shipping another CUCV M1009 over to Germany again. How much cargo is allowed inside?

Keep in mind the glow plug tip is not magnetic. (non magnetic) Use care when extracting the glow plug tip from the pre chamber when you break off the swelled to if the need arises. I have done it and it requires a steady hand and I removed the wheel and tire, entire wheel well apron and the...

When the glow plug wait light is lit. The bottom stud on the under hood firewall solenoid should have electric current. When the wait light goes off that stud should have no current. it may cycle a few times after a cold start but it should have no current when the engine is operating at...

PHOENIX-GER Save the cash for now. If you have a lodged glow plugf and it is in the back of the head I would just remove the inner fender apron and get in there. I would remove the fuel delivery nozzle and get in there with a 45* mini vise grip. Or something similar and capture the tip and...

Easy fix. Unfortunately you will need to take the fender, hood and cowl screen off to get to it properly. If it were me I would just take the entire front end off and start there. I can guarantee there is more places that need fixed. Good Luck. Start a thread and show the progress on your...

What part of the truck did you take the rusty picture? Is that under the hood near the hinges?

Yes it was signaled by the tach pickup on the Generator 1 drivers side.

If you are talking oil cooler lines they are still available as after market. And yes they can be routed incorrectly and rub on the brake booster reinforcement. I have seen more then 1 engine ruined from oil cooler lines rubbed thru. Many times the bracket at the rear of the manifold is...

That looks good. I put a VDO tachometer in my M1009 at the same spot. I also split the cluster cover and added gauges to the lower radio cover. I done that on a few of these before most people wanted just plain stock vehicles. That M1009 I drove till it had 135K on it and sold it.

I have used a few of these and a few VDO 24 volt voltmeters. You need one that is not self grounding. You can use the stock pigtail from the back of the stock voltmeter and have a direct fit and the hole is 2 1/16" just like stock. Good Luck.
