    CUCV M1008 - RunAway Starter

    Couple of years ago I ordered a starter solenoid from Texas Industrial Electric for a 24V Direct drive 27MT - part #7-920

    Coolant type

    Going to flush and replace the coolant in my M1009. Always used regular green before. Wondering what type of antifreeze you guys have used, what gives the longest corrosion protection.

    transfer case to transmission torque rod m1008

    There are also 2 shorter rods that go from the frame where the motor mounts are to the bottom of the bellhousing. The ones I found at a wrecker were too long, so they were cut and welded to the proper length. Pics here ...

    M1009 green spray in liner?

    I used Colour Your Hippo tintable Sprayable Bedliner, went on quite thick. Used Green but as the product comes with a yellowish hue, it would be good to add some black.

    Very graphic M1008 heater core war pictures

    When I got my M1009, mouse turds were coming out of the heater box when I hit it with a vacuum. Took it apart, there was a nest with a dead mouse jammed right where the blend door closes. The rear seat also had scores of turds dropping out of it and smelled of urine. Had to throw it away and...

    Fuse question

    Have seen pics of guys fuse boxes, mine is the same but looking at the TM's it shows something different. The slot to the left of the 25 Amp wiper fuse has script that says "MKR/IP 20 ", seems we all have a 20 Amp fuse there. In the TM's it shows this slot as #16 5 Amp Courtesy light fuse. Is...

    Power steering pump leak

    Finally got around to doing the pump swap. Tool I bought worked for removing pulleys, the one for installing, not so much. I'm 1/16" short of having it pressed on flush. Bolt of tool is severely bent, don't want to continue and break it. Obviously its a cheap inferior grade bolt and couldn't...

    Leaky cross over pipe that seems to not stop leaking no matter what I try.

    I had a similar leak issue with the aluminum cross over pipe, new gaskets and perma-tex didn't work. Took it off again and gave it a close inspection. Hairline crack found in mounting flange. It had been on the motor, leak-free for 5 years previously.

    Running with VRV bypassed for now??

    I ran mine bypassed for over a year, didn't seem to have any negative effects.

    not so cold no start.

    Its not possible to over tighten the fuel cap. Could be the vacuum in tank is sucking air into the fuel system. My leak was the fuel pressure sensor in filter base, there was no visible fuel coming out. Next time it's running, crack the cap to release vacuum when you've shut down for the day. If...

    Would a used 6.2 diesel benefit from being taken down and retorqued?

    You stated you wanted to make it as reliable as possible. But you put a cheap chinese starter on it.

    Oil/Trans Cooler lines

    You indeed are confused. You speak of Dorman as if its a reputable local manufacturer. Why not call and tell them a part doesn't fit. Ha! Its just an english sounding name brand. All their stuff is cheap garbage made in China with terrible tolerances and poor fitment. Stay away from anything...

    Driveline Vibration...very specific

    Yes..the drive shafts are balanced, meaning it doesn't matter which way its put back in, same position or 180 degrees, no difference. That's an old wives tale.

    Standard motor injectors any good?

    Try the classifieds, Road Warrior 88 gave me a great deal on new OEM injectors.

    Power steering pump leak

    Saw a few drips on driveway, checked underneath, bottom lip of power steering pump was wet. Couldn't really see where it came from, thinking it might be the inside, forward face, where shaft attaches to pulley. All lines are tight and dry. Is this a normal wear item. Take the unit off and...
