SO after replacing the rear end on my 1986 CUCV m1009, I was driving home from the shop and all of a sudden I had coolant all of the hood and windshield. Pulled over and found no Radiator cap. I can only assume the shop that I had just had it serviced at did not put the cap back on properly and the pressure blew it off. Pretty frustrating. So I went ahead and changed out the thermostat and flushed the motor. All seams ok. I only made it a mile or so after it happened so I think everything is ok. Anyone else had this happen? Or can I chalk this one up to a poor service facility? Also, my turn signals are solid, no flashing and my speedo does not function. Is this a common problem with a quick fix or will I need to chase wires. Thanks guys I have done a ton of work on this thing since I got it and Im getting close to having only the interior left. Lastly, are there any little mods that can be done to give the engine a little more power? I looked at the Banks Turbo kit but the cost seams a bit high for the small HP/ T gain.

There are a lot of great resources available here!! The 6.2L was never designed to be a racing engine. I use my M1009 as a daily driver and have no problem running it at 80MPH. You could tweak the Injector Pump. There are plenty of threads on how to do this. I personally wouldn't recommend messing with the IP - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Have you read the stickies at the top of the CUCV Forum? There's a lot of great information available using the search function. Happy reading!!
