    Starter support bracket?

    [Do I just reuse the same bolt that is securing the heat shield for the block mounting point?] Yes, that is where it is attached to.

    Wiper motor alignment

    Changed out my wiper/washer assembly as I've go the windshield out to fix a small leak. Thought I put it all back like it was, just noticed that the link arm that attaches to the motor with the 13 mm nut looks like its 180 degrees off. Do I have to redo this or does it not matter, ie; does the...

    Cucv steering column

    Yes, when the intermittent function stops working the low,high speed and single wipe still work. The connection at the plug requires more than just moving it a little. I usually find out when its raining, so I get out with the wipers set on intermittent and try moving it slightly it in different...

    cucv fuel pump rod trouble

    I've done many fuel pump re & re's. A dab of regular multi-purpose grease on the end has never failed to retain the rod in position. You must be doing something wrong. First make sure it goes all the way up with your finger, as every one else has said. Put the grease on the end going in, I just...

    Cucv steering column

    Yes, it works with the original wiper motor/washer pump. Not sure about your resistance question or how many pins, since it was over 6 years ago when I installed it. Perhaps your intermittent control unit is faulty. One thing I can tell you is that occasionally my intermittent feature stops...

    M1009 Steering problem

    Your front axle u-joints need replacing, they produce the very symptoms you're describing. A good wheel alignment shop will tell you if your steering box needs replacing, ask them where to source a quality rebuild. Beware of just picking one up from your local parts store. I did that and the...

    "with under 2900"...What? You have to be joking!

    Cucv steering column

    I also have a civy column that I swapped in. Yes, tilt is nice, but as I'm not overweight..I rarely use it. Now the intermittent wipers..this is a must have if you live anywhere where it rains often. Also the smaller diameter steering wheel has a better driving feel, and the thicker rim feels nicer.

    M-1009 with a fuel leak, air in fuel and some surging

    I also had a lift pump leaking at the seam. If you have fuel at the front end, get underneath with a trouble light and trace it. The fuel usually drops onto the crossmember then drips onto the diff. From above you should be able to see if the crossmember corner underneath the lift pump is wet...

    CUCV Wiper Challenge

    Wipers stopping randomly is probably the connection where the 2 wire black plug fits into the wiper motor. Try cleaning the terminals.

    HELP - CUCV Breaking Starter Bolts Often

    Search...I found some AC Delco bolts online for $1.60 ea. Bought 4, 2 for spares. In 2006 when I rebuilt my starter, I re-used the original bolts and hand tightened them. Didn't know they should not be re-used or the torque value, They held up, looked fine when I rebuilt starter again this year...

    How many times have you guys rebuilt your CUCV starter?

    First starter rebuild on my 27MT DD was 2007, new bendix, brushes and bushings. Did it myself for about $40.00 in parts. Just rebuilt it again in 2013, it was starting to crank slower, brushes were good, bushings were worn, particularly the nose bushing was almost worn right through to the...

    Charging question?

    M1009: Things I've learned

    Re; 84 M1009. The M1009 has 3.08 gears, all the pick-ups have 4.56. If it does have 4.56, I seriously doubt his math skills, claiming 26/27 mpg.

    Broken Pushrod

    It seems that quite a few people here have broken the rod. I figure it must be that the rod had dropped down into the recess before they have installed and tightened the pump. Make sure the rod is fully recessed and pump lever contacts properly when installing,

    Replace fuel pump/bleeding line

    If your push rod isn't seated in all the way, put a socket with extension bar on one of the crank pulley bolts and you can turn the motor over. On the lift pump replacement ; Its easier to get the rear most bolt started first as it has the worst access. Its the harder one to get in so do it...

    m1009 Died suddenly

    If its the fuel lift pump you're talking about and not the steel rod that drives it from the cam, make sure you buy an AC Delco pump. Do not buy a Carter, they are absolute garbage and fail prematurely.

    Broken throttle cable, 84 M1008.

    Do let us know how that cable fits. My understanding was that the aftermarket cables didn't fit properly, that they were too short or something to that effect. Have searched for one to have as a spare to no avail. Last time mine broke I was lucky to pull one off another CUCV parts truck a guy I...

    Found a new 27MT field coil #1986473 for $118.50. PM sent

    Fuel dripping on first start; then less, then stopped

    Could be the lift pump or the fuel lines, thats precisely where it leaks down to. Get underneath the front and do a visual inspection, it should be easy to pinpoint. I had a lift pump fail after 13 months, leaked where the two halves are crimped together. Do not buy a Carter!! Get an AC Delco pump.
