    1986 m1009

    At the very least recommended it. They might have. The OP said funds were tight. A Transmission service isn’t cheap, but it’s a LOT cheaper than a rebuild.

    1986 m1009

    I would service the trans with new fluid and filter ASAP. Might help and certainly won’t hurt. Assume you checked fluid level already. How did the fluid look look and smell? Still reddish? Did it look and smell burnt? When was last service? If the new filter and fluid doesn’t help then...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Horn? My Kubota and John Deere’s never need a horn. PA system maybe, but never a horn. I spent some of today picking spent brass from behind the dash and behind/under seat. Mostly 22LR. Some 30-30. .308 also Keeping the pond free of turtles and the coyotes in check adds quite a brass...

    M1009 transmission noise?

    That post was over 6 years ago. I bet he’s figured it out by now.

    Windshield seal question

    I bet the door failed before it opened. I’ve seen demonstrations of metal tearing away and the structural adhesive holding as designed. This is structural 2-part adhesive for aluminum. Incredibly strong and is used in New helicopter assembly and is also used for repairs. Different part...

    Windshield seal question

    The windshield is a structural part of any automobile/light truck. By adding adhesive, it bonds the glass to the steel and creates a much stronger driver/passenger compartment. This was one of the many items mandated by the NTSB for safety years ago. It might not seem like it would work...

    New master cylinder question

    The rust will not be a problem. Just keep the cap seal area clean and it will fine. It would have been easier to have painted it before install, but nothing to worry about. Croft is an excellent company.

    M101a2 Breakaway brakes

    I know about the other parts they sell......it just has me wondering why “that” part is so controlled, for lack of a better word and not listed and sold. Luckily both of mine are like new.

    Question has already been answered and the M101A2 wasn’t even close.

    M101a2 Breakaway brakes

    The whole liability thing most likely. Especially since it’s a brake system part. Who knows. Post a pic if you can for future reference. Appreciate the update.

    How to keep her cool?

    You cannot post a link to an active listing. With that said, I would stick with the regular style fan. Maintains the character of the truck.

    M101a2 Breakaway brakes

    Did your part show up? Any part number written on it or it’s packaging?

    Cucv service history

    Very few were lucky enough to have some service paperwork inside their trucks when picked up. No one will have the complete service or complete unit history. You’ll need a time machine for that. As mentioned, everything was purged from the file system. Take care in sanding your bumpers so...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    All you need is a brush guard and you’ll be set. What brand paint did you use?

    Horn Issue

    There is also a internal horn button and spring inside the turn signal assembly, inside steering column. I chased a horn issue for months before finally finding an issue with that button and spring. Installed NOS GM turn signal assembly and problem solved. Continues to be issue free. So if...

    101A2 Adventure Trailer

    What the mind thinks it can do vs what the body can physically do used to be fairly equal when we were younger. Now.......not so much. That gap gets bigger every year.
