    cucv price?

    WM why so negative on the CUCv family? IT's a GREAT "Beginner" truck, easy to work on, parts are readily available, most repairs don't require special or HEAVY DUTY tools... As far as "electrical issues" what 25 year old vehicle doesn't have "electrical issues"? Don't really understand the...

    Thanks Joe and Bruce. Bruce, I'm dealing with a "NO START" on 09. I did the doghead conversion, so the relay is good. I replaced, AGAIN, because I bought two when I did the first update.

    My new (to me) M1009 tire carrier

    Nice add!!! I've suffered through the "out of room" for stuff syndrome. I have even considered removing the rear seat, but usually just put the extras in somebody else vehicle or leave it behind. I like the removable feature and bringing back to stock option.

    How do you remove and clean fuse box?

    The fuses plug into brass fittings...... brass doesn't rust..... Get some ZEP electic aerosol spray and soak the fuse block. FIRST unhook all power sources in truck...... Use an old toothbrush and clean all connections for fuses. Last resort is replacing fuseblock, LOTS of work!!!! vehicle...

    And so it begins

    I'm gonna be a "bubble" buster, but have you downloaded the TM's and looked at the pictures???? They are VERY clear!!! will answer all of your questions about the make-up of the locking hubs. As far as just replacing the caps, kinda pointless, IMHO, the caps don't really do anything put allow...

    M1009 Power Steering Bracket needed.

    last resort is dealership. use the -20P or -34P to get the gm part number for the items. Joe, I didn't read it as want ad, just someone looking for parts source....... it's his first post, and he obviously didn't do a search for the other 100+ threads on the subject. If he knows what part...

    Best Place to buy CUCV Parts

    No reasonable explanation for transmission to shift harder after changing flexplate. The flexplate just transfers engine rotation to torque converter. Unless the flexplate was so trashed that it wasn't allowing engine to spin, not realistic....

    New to CUCV

    PMCS PMCS AND PMCS. It's the best way to learn about the vehicle and discover "hidden" faults that will appear at midnite on a deserted road 50 miles from nowhere. It will take you a couple of hours that will be worth days in return. It will also give you a reference point for the vehicle...

I need to buy a couple scrapper motors for the...
