Squibbly's M1009 and other Questionable Projects

[ezgn]

Had that ordered before I even posted. Just took your part number from that other recent thread.

I was just saying to my bro that I’ve had to replace so many things on this, and yet, it was still running when I bought it.

I have been thinking the same thing. On a positive note, from the standpoint of a hobby it makes it all seem okay. There is always a silver lining. Stay positive which I know you are and enjoy the ride. Once you have it all fixed up and running good it will become your favorite vehicle.

Got the new vacuum pump installed. Fixed my late shifting issue.

Didn’t feel like going to Napa for a gasket. Just made my own.

I got the Glow Plug card from my bro in the mail. It looks like a zener diode that is the first component in the relay circuit blew out.

Could someone tell me the markings on that component so I can fix this card?

Nevermind. Got my answer here:

cucv glow plug card

I believe that is a 24V Zener. Not completely sure, once I get a chance to check what the part is, I will advise.

So all of your shifts points are good and you did not have to adjust the vacuum regulator! Amazing, I adjust mine to shift at 15 mph and 30-35 miles per hour. It gives you good firm shifts. I believe soft shifting is not good for these transmissions. Happy Days, good job.

It shifts at around 23ish and 33ish.
I haven't gotten around to dialing it in. Gotta read up on it as with almost everything I've touched so far.
I've got a new vacuum modulator coming that is adjustable and supposedly can firm up those shifts.

23 mph is way to late, the vacuum modulator is easy peasy. You loosen the nut and rotate the regulator toward the firewall for a lower shift. Your existing vacuum modulator might be an adjustable type that is not adjusted correctly. I like the non adjustable type and just adjust it from the vacuum regulator. Buy the best vacuum modulator available. I think you said you have a new one coming.

What was the part # and or vendor for your new vacuum pump. I'm having late shift issues with my 1009 as well.

I just bought this, pulled the POD (and seal) off and replaced the one on mine with it.

You should probably hook a vacuum tester up to your existing pump to make sure it's bad if you haven't already done that.

You have M1009 I have M1008 on my brain because that is what I have, Your shift points are probably different then mine so I really don't know what your shift points should be. I stand corrected if I'm wrong

This thing fights me right down to the nuts and bolts on the cats eyes.

Ordered a new set.

Dang! well when the going gets tough the tough just have to get tougher. Makes me thankful I got one of the clean ones from the get go. I still appreciate all of your helpful information and pictures. Keep up the good work, I think even though it can be frustrating at times, you're still having fun.

My sawzall got tougher.
All of these tools I’ve bought over the years for small jobs here and there are finally paying off. Lol.

If I had to buy all the things I’ve had to use on this truck from scratch it would be rough.

The old cats eye compared to the new ones.

I need to figure out how to take the gloss off the new one. None of the light covers on a CUCV should have a gloss because it should not reflect sun, so all of them are supposed to have a “dull” sanded finish.

My brake light covers for instance aren’t original. I can tell because they are glossy and should be dull.

The wires on the new ones are not the thin copper wires like the original. They seem like silicon covered tinned copper. I just spliced the old connector onto the new wires using solder and heat shrink. I like to hit the splice with some Vaseline before I heat shrink it, to prevent any corrosion from water that may get past the heat shrink.

Found another oil leak.
This one is coming out of a rubber hose that is part of the Crankcase Depression system. Part# 14050445

Doesn't look like they make it anymore.

This is more than a 90 degree bend.
Anyone have a source or solution for these already before I head out on my quest?

I would prefer a silicon solution obviously.

 

[Squibbly]

NAPA, Advance Auto, AutoZone, O’reilleys, and Tractor supply.

Nobody has the part, much less interested in discussing a hose for something else that may be similar.

So, electrical tape it is, possibly a plasti-dip at a later date.
