    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    I think the only vehicle in that picture that didn't came from or through you is my flat bed car hauler. Got the front bumper, grill surround, headlight surrounds, grill and grill guard on this morning. Now to track down why the washer pump is not getting any power.

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    I should back up a post. The GMT-400 over flow tank I had in hand last week cracked as soon as I started using soap and water to clean it up some. That is why I went with the Dorman tank. The #8 injector is not fun to mess with in a truck with A/C. Pretty much the last 4 hours have been...

    Is blazer driveshaft a weak point?

    That way your slip yoke and NP208 become the weak point. Not trying to make fun. Just pointing out that if you are going to be driving it hard enough to twist the drive shaft off, that might be the cheapest thing left down there. Along with the easiest to replace in the field and still get...

    Turbo and waste gate question

    A few things to keep in mind. The Multifuel engines got a turbo added not so much for boost, but as a way to eliminate some of the black smoke those engines put out. I think 8 pounds of boost is very generous and about double what they might actually put out. The sound and the boost do not...

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    I got the $8.00 at O'Reilly's generic overflow bottle. Dorman # DOR 603-001. I put it on the passenger side behind the battery. A few holes already in the fender lined up enough to just bolt it in. Well, actually I took a 1" long 1/4" bolt, fed it from the back side and tightened it up with...

    Air pack rebuilding question

    Sorry, It has been a while since I thought Airpack. I was thinking compensator housing and piston and wrote diaphragm.

    DB2 pump #s on an M1009

    Normally since just about all the 24 volt units people on this site will come across are from a HMMWV. That means the connections for the 24 volt top will have Packard fittings. While the 12 volt connections will just be regular male wire terminals.

    Air pack rebuilding question

    I haven't thought "air pack" in a while. Brake fluid can only be getting into the air side through the seals between the two halves or at the valve that turns the air on. Did you check the diaphragm on the side? Another crazy thought is the master cylinder vent. Could the fluid in your vent...

    IP for 84 M1009

    There is another thread in the CUCV section about that same number ip currently. It is being run and enjoyed by the owner.

    DB2 pump #s on an M1009

    The last 4 digits comes out 6.2 on my number charts. I couldn't find that sequence anywhere else. 6.2 or 6.5. I think it is just a bad day at the data plate line.

    optimizer long block - hummer 24V or cucv 24v

    I went the serpentine belt route Rich. There were two basic systems from the factory. 1996 or so is when they switched. The water pump plate you got from me is for the V belts. You need the serpentine back plate if you go that way. Basically, the single thermostat set up had the alternator...

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    Yes, that over flow is supposed to be under the passenger battery tray. I know I have at least one. Just can't find them. The GMT-400 vehicles had a recovery tank mounted on the passenger fender near the firewall. Depending on year it will either be a regular over flow type tank or actually a...

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    I got the camera for a few minutes this morning, took pictures, downloaded the pictures and took the camera back. Only then to realize it was on some weird setting and they all look really dark. Oh well, dark pictures are better than none. I got the battery trays in. I didn't even think...

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    Another week has flown by. All front suspension and steering parts have been replaced or rebuilt after inspection and put back together. New u-joints over the entire truck and all drive shafts back in. We also aligned the front tires. I was only 3.5° off on the toe by eyeballing it. Brakes...

    6.2 engine oil dipstick tube seal?

    I have not looked for this in the -P manual, so I don't know for sure. That would be the best way to confirm or deny this. However, I have never seen an O-ring on the dip stick tube where it slides into the side of the oil pan. There is about 1/2 inch of pretty tight interference fit and then...

    Vacuum Regulator Valve for 85 M1009

    Amazon has them for less than $100. So do several other places: https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-14057219-Equipment-Automatic-Transmission/dp/compatibility-chart/B0013FU8Q2

    DB2 Injection Pump Rod With Spring??

    Oh, sorry. That fits over the drive shaft at the gear. The fat end pushes up against the timing cover.
