Let's see some pics of THAT install.

Is the pump expensive or difficult to replace? I think I can do the filter and fluid myself.

Ok, it's not me. It is getting cold here in Conn on some mornings. When I first start out in the morning, leaving the parking space, I can hear the trans "whining" a bit. It only lasts for a few hundred yards. It also seems like the trans wants to hold second gear for longer than normal when...

I was going to ask the same question. If it holds up to the heat, it would be perfect for under the hood and the firewall.

Diesel keeps for a long time, just add some Bio-cide and no worries long term. Gas goes bad quickly, so if you don't run the genset on a regular basis and keep adding fuel, that could be an issue. I will be looking for a small 3-5KW diesel genset shortly. Plus, the mil spec diesels are under...

Yeah, I always disconnect all of them on these trucks. You just can't remove the negative cable and be done with it. If you don't remove all the connections, you'll get a nasty little surprise !

Shipmates, I meant no disrespect with regards to this mod and admit that I probably could have chosen different words for the title. It wasn't meant to mislead anyone. After tons of reading on this site, one of the must do's for any CUCV is the Doghead Mod..........I am 100% on board with...

Hey Shrapnel ! I am currently in Groton Conn. and I saw the twin to your truck cruizin down Rt 12 this morning !

Did the capacitor bypass on mine and it worked li9ke a charm. As soon as I have time, cowl removal and lube is on the list.

I don't know what statement you are referring to, but I did the mod, it failed and now I am looking for answers as to why. A "crappy relay" may indeed be the cause of the "failure". I am asking questions and seeking answers, not making a statement, but thank you for the relay check advice.

Had a busted shock on my truck, and I figured while I was at the Hobby Shop on base changing out the shocks, I might as well go ahead and do the Doghead mod. the truck is a 1986 M1009. 67,000 on the odo. She is basically stock and fairly well maintained. Went to NAPA and got the correct...

Awesome.........Thanks !

I get heat and plenty of it, but thanks for the simple explanation of the heater core removal. I copied and saved that !!:beer: It was about 25 degrees here yesterday morning and the heat came up in less time then it does in my TDI VW Golf. It is the fan output and the amount of flow across...

Talk about messin' with your head !!! Somebody was screwin' with someone in the motor pool !!!!!!!!!

Frozen humidity !!!!!!!! And we just got a bunch of snow to boot !!! Global warming my a** ![thumbzup]

PM inbound, thanks

Money is tight, like that's a big secret !!! Anyway, a few things have come up and left me a little "cash challenged" for a few weeks That said, I still need to do a few things to the 1009. I just did the Doghead mod, but I really need shocks. I know there has been some discussion on this...

The Chevy dealer may be able to get them. Just check the TM for the part numbers. I have gotten a few NOS parts out them recently.

I was wondering if anyone has changed out, beefed up or augmented the stock 1009 heater system to provide a quicker defrost of the front windshield. My 1009 seems to warm up quicker than my TDI Golf (@ about 4-5 miles @ 45 mph the heat comes up), but not if I am idling waiting for the frost to...

How much for the carrier from Nates? Pics would be great.
