    M1009 Dashboard Replacement

    My dash was hosed too. I ordered a cheap dash mat to cover it up until I could find a suitable replacement at the wrecking yard. It took about ten days by mail. The same day it got here, I found a nice dash from this newly wrecked suburban at the Pick-n-Pull. I had been to the Auto paint shop to...

    bumper numbers dechiphering

    OK, I'm going with 63d-RSC. It seems they eventually changed the name of the outfit from RSC to RRC; but the last paint they put on it read RSC, so I'll go with that. 4" stenciling on the bumper marking, 1" on TP. What about the "Lower window before opening tailgate" stencil size?

    Leaking fuel filter assembly

    So are the bases obsolete altogether? If so are their repair options or like mistaken1 and wallew said with the spin-on? Just one kit, or are there some better than others?

    Tubeless on steroids tire.

    Found the latest on these tire/wheels the military is working (collaborating) on. Look cool; but they seem like the balance will go immediately when the pick up mud?

    Right on. Thanks. Is there a TM that identifies how large each of the markings around the vehicle are to be?

    How do you get the solenoid "IN"

    Doghead, thanks, I went to the -20 manual and they did not seem to cover this the same way. I was trying to replace the solenoid without opening the motor case. I did not think the answer was to pull the pivot screw at the shift lever. The one in the -34 manual shows, I think, the direct drive...

    How do you get the solenoid "IN"

    I read some threads here from members that have replaced the solenoid on their 28MT starters- they hassled getting it out; but didn't say how hey got it back in- onto the little fork in the starter housing. Someone who knows please post a solution. I was able to rotate and pull the old one out...

    paint job

    sgt lutz, You are getting sleepy... sleepy. You are getting the keys and placing them in an envelope. You are sooo relaxed... you're addressing the envelope to me along with a map to your place. This feels good. You like feeling good. Giving things away makes you feel wonderful, wonderful and...

    Do glowplugs make any noise when they go bad?

    glcaines, yep, I actually did hear a noise before I took the old Direct Drive Starter out. It was a kind of sizzling bacon sound. Just once when I turned the key. I have not hear it since; but then again the new starter in not running right yet either- I have a new solenoid I am putting on...

    Do glowplugs make any noise when they go bad?

    And, does leaving the key switched to the ON position- as if listening to the radio flat burn up the gowplugs. I let my daughter take my truck to school while hers was down and didn't think to warn her not to do that.

    Odometer Disconect

    I pulled mine from the top of the dash after removing the top pad. The other day I was under the dash at the fuse block and saw that it would probably be easier to pull the wire harness that feeds the Instrument Cluster from that angle. Get a headlamp on and lay on your back out of the driver's...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Well I got the news from CALTRIC regarding my starter. They are sending me a replacement solenoid via Priority Mail. I put two new Group 31 batteries on. The battery tray is made to take them I found out. The battery is just a little longer than the top brace So I used a dremel on the plastic...

    can the solenoid on a gear recuc starter

    Can the solenoid on a gear reduction starter be opened and serviced? I think I figured out what is the problem with my starter. The starter relay mod clicks. but the starter does not spin up on the vehicle. When I remove the starter and bridge the "S" bolt to the battery cable bolt with a...

    Hood insulation install

    gvaneck, uh oh. I did not know about expanding foam not being an option here. I guess I assumed since it was used to seal up drafts it would be ok here. Maybe there is an alternative "space filler". Thanks.

    Hood insulation install

    I think that looks great! I wonder if you could: A) apply the fatmat. B) Shoot expanding foam in all the ribs. C) Shoot the whole thing with a few coats of undercoating to get a good result. I gotta do something, and I just want to do it once so I get a lasting good out come. I have tried to...
