Hi all, I am fairly new here as I own a M1009 only since last December. Am still working on getting it roadworthy... The usual you know, replacing badly worn Ball Joints and sticky Universal Joints, leaking Oil Seals, brakes and lots more still to do... not to mention bodywork and welding in...

Hi CUCVRUS, WOW!! So much dirt coming out of that tube!!! Mine is quite clean compared to that, but since I need to dismantle the diff all the way, I will also steam clean the hollow tube and use a rust-conversion paint on the inner tubes as well. Your end-result is very nice tough! Great...

Thanks!! Jake

Hi, Got wise on Youtube...apparently need to pull axles, remove differential and bearings and then drive seal out towards the differential housing; install new seal and reverse installation. Bummer... Jake

Hello, I have a bad front axle encased seal on the left side. This is the seal which is hidden deep inside the axle tube on the left side and where the left axle runs trough fro the differential to the left front wheel. This part is item 27 SEAL ASM, W/Guide Tube Oil, GM Part 6273977, on pages...

Hi Bajaman, Your conversion reads very interesting, but at this point I am not yet familiar enough with the possibilities, do's and don't's when it comes to lift kits, larger wheels etc... If I read your message correctly, the 4" lift kit you installed onto your M1009 and which fit like a...

Hello all, Still new and discovering lots of things about my 1985 M1009. Can anyone tell me what the maximum allowed drive shaft angles are to avoid unnecessary strain or damage to any of the driveline components? How can I lower, if necessary my Transfer Case using the original spacers? Are...

Thanks CUCVRUS, I'll keep that in mind. As mentioned, did not have to go hard to remove the old ball joints and still need to clean the knuckle up before I can install the new ball joints, which I will wisely press in. Thanks, Jake

Hi, Yes you ar correcct, it is not a must to remove the steering arm from the knuckle to replace the upper and lower ball joints. It does make it easier however, as then I can use my hydraulic press... which I did not need nor use to remove the old ball joints as they came out surprisingly easy...

Good morning, Used some de-rust oil and a 5LBS hammer... eventually the cones came loose one after the other and with some more hitting hard the arm came off as well. No real damage except for some hammering bruzes on the steering arm, but that thing is made to handle a lot more. Need to clean...

Hello, Anyone know if GM 19168610 Waterpmp will fit 1985 M1009 6.2 V8 Diesel ? Thank you, Jake

OK, thank you all! I'm still in Oberammergau now but will be back home tomorrow evening and give it a try then. I'll keep you posted... Thanks again, Jake

Hi, Am in the phase of fixing mechanical issues on my M1009. Need to replace the Upper and Lower Ball Joints and thus also removed the 3 nuts holding the Steering Knuckle Arm to the Knuckle. But the Steering Knuckle Arm is still rock solid attached to the Knuckle, despite beating and prying...

Hi Marcus, Thank you for your reply. The TMs are a great help in restoring my M1009. This particular CUCV was in fact "stationed" in Belgium on one of our Air Force airfields and where we had a USAF detachment for decades (not sure if they are still there now)... but for sure it is no longer...

Hi Marcus, Thanks for the info... me being quite new here, I am not aware of many things still... Best, Jake

Thank you very much Chaski!! I am looking forward to this repair... Cheers, Jake

Hi 1St Sarge, On my GP Module Z4 is fried ass well. I have noticed my GP circuit has been changed to 12V. The GP circuit is connected directly to 12V and the 2 resistors behind the air filer are completely missing; only the bracket remains. Can I also use the same diode 1N4749A or should I use...

Hi, The link unfortunately the link no longer exists. Jake

Hello all, I have recently purchased a M1009 and am restoring it before I take it on the road. I noticed that the steering gear is also covered in oil and leaking through all seals. Can you tell me what type of steering gear the M1009 has a dn what service kits part numbers I need to order for...

Ok, here we have a partial list of TMs... Jake
