    Does anyone know or have experienced with a bushing kit for a m1009?

    What bushings? Besides what was already posted. I would suggest Off Road Design for suspension bushings. They have “kits.”

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    My son Colton is living his life 60 miles away with a job in a town 75 miles from there. We don’t get to see each other much and maybe talk every other week or so on the phone. Trying to keep him up to date on things I am doing is difficult. He suggested I just start doing videos of what I am...

    2022 TX MV Rally

    Looks like fun. I camped in the Cowdog and M715 last weekend with my Trail Life Troop. Taught 22 little ones how to drive a manual. I am ready for next Friday.

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    Soapy water would probably work just fine. The stuff I have is called Big Blu micro leak detector for air conditioning. I was expecting at most a few small leaks. Not the massive things I had. I pulled the CUCV 6.2 intake that night after I took the video. Then installed a 3 piece 6.5 center...

    Alternative Fuel For M998

    The last time fuel was this expensive this topic was very hot. Multi fuel trucks are fine with it. Mine loves used ATF. However, the DB-2 injection pump is not made for the thicker/more viscosity waste motor oil. There was a super long and boring report done by the DOD after the Desert...

    2022 TX MV Rally

    Repurposed vehicles of all types have been to the Rally in the past. There is a Rally swap meet thread already going so you won't have to lug stuff around that might not sell.

    Short Air Pack- 3 Leak Questions

    I think you are on the right track with the corrosion. How pliable where your "new" cups you put in? If they were a bit dry and crusty that could also be an issue.

    Dashboard Problems

    Very carefully pry the little contacts on the plastic bulb holder out just a hair.

    Dashboard Problems

    There is a single ground path for the entire gauge cluster. All the rest are positive paths. If you are putting power to a circuit and the light isn't lighting. Verify voltage at the light contact and reverse the light bulb and try again.

    Did GEP 6.5 engines use gaskets for timing cover?

    Right Stuff in the aerosol can makes putting it together a breeze.

    Dashboard Problems

    That flexible printed circuit board needs a little voodoo or black magic mixed in to work correctly. Make sure all the tabs for the big plug are straight, in their lane and clean. You wrote you cleaned everything else. Use a Power Probe or any 12 volt power supply to test every singe circuit...

    Deuce front winch rebuild questions.

    I rebuilt mine back in 2007 and didn't see this thread until just now. Not stumped, but also not sure what you want to know exactly.

    Alternator Shorting battery

    Can you put an Ohm meter on the isolated ground post with one lead and on the case of the alternator with the other and not have continuity? Verify it really is an isolated ground alternator first.

    Oil pump prime?

    The oil flows from the pan to the pump, filter, oil cooler lines and then the crankshaft bearings. Since you have added the dry oil cooler and lines. I think it would be a good idea to prime the system before you start it. A regular 8mm socket will fit the oil pump drive shaft. A 1/4" socket...

    Is there a performance oil pan for the m1008?

    Upgrade for what purpose? If you want more oil capacity then a HMMWV oil pan for the 6.2 is your ticket. 2 gallons needed for an oil change. Just make sure it is a 6.2 oil pan. The 6.5 oil pans had a single piece rear main seal and the oil pan won't fit. If some kind of oil cooling is your...

    M35A2 Wiring Help

    Do you like isometric exercises? Once you find a front wiring harness you will hate isometric exercises. Because to change out the harness you have to remove all the wire holders from the frame that have a bolt and a nut on them. That means you will be under the truck hugging the frame with...

    New turn signal issue tonight

    The common fault point on the CUCV blinkers is the ground strip inside the front light bulb holder.
