Are those clusters rare? Seen it installed, i am sure need one for my 1009 :) Nicely keeps this old military look...

Yes, same here. Thats why i went to non-geasables. This old factory plastic/nylon injected lock was tough!

I bought Moog non-greasables. Should last another 50k miles? Next step is front shaft, there is also small play on front u-joint.

Well, without words :) NB: u-joints are factory original...

This was my brainfart, i am not very wise in morning :) true, voltmeter is better choice.

Start engine and remove + wire from GP relay? Then it is sure that glowplugs are not on.

Should be easy, connect service- and blackout wires together behind switch itself?

For your power shortages is probably best choice to buy diesel or gas generator. CUCV can do lots of things, but it wont replace your morning coffe and porridge.

nono, they are white. I do not need red fog light. Edit: did not installed them jet (too cold, too snowing) but tried one in dark. Man, i am impressed! wide lighting area and one sure can read book some 10...15 metres away. Highly recommend, if those available in your side...

Kind of carried away - as front LEDs are great, i ordered another set, idea is recess to bumper. 40W wide beam area. Mainly, because previous owner already ruined rear blackout light holes - one for reverse light and other for red fog light. As lights were bigger, this a**hole just made holes...

Seat heaters are great idea! Also, i need to find heated outside mirrors. We have here 4months of minimum 4F...

True. Lets call them work lights then :) Anyway, in forest they are great.

Wired new LEDs - i am happy, not aimed right but still pretty impressive. They are 2in1 - fogs and HI. fogs on: HI on: Happy New Year! Great site, tons of knowlege, thank you all!

Markings are: 2 40 96 (5?) 47 as far as my bad eye reads. And board number is PED 12034592. Dont worry, you are in final strech, soon you will drive and smile.

here is mine, from my 1008:

Thanks guys! Try to test tomorrow if not snowing too mutch. Click is crisp but yes, it is old switch... Edit: sure, it is faulty hi/lo switch on steering column. Jumper wire did job, now is time to new switch. When waiting switch arrival, i bought pair of 50W led lights - they are hi beam but...

Today my 1009 started acting weird - sometimes i can switch to LO headlights, sometimes only HI lights are working. (i.e. HIgh on and OK, LOW not) What do you think - headlight swich on steering column? Too cold outside to do thorough inspection. And i need to drive tomorrow in dark time - is...

Power steering fluid (basically hydraulic oil) is different from ATF. Not same foaming and additives. As far as i know GM always used power steering fluid, not ATF. You can feel difference rubbing both between fingers. One is silky, smooth, ATF is "grainy" (if my english is correct).

Made trip thru forest, that neighbour little elves and my short-legged wienerdog can take walks. We have some 25 cm of snow. And quick trip to local shop for few porters :) (MTs are bad on icy tarmac). Merry Christmas!
