    optimizer long block - hummer 24V or cucv 24v

    I went the serpentine belt route Rich. There were two basic systems from the factory. 1996 or so is when they switched. The water pump plate you got from me is for the V belts. You need the serpentine back plate if you go that way. Basically, the single thermostat set up had the alternator...

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    Yes, that over flow is supposed to be under the passenger battery tray. I know I have at least one. Just can't find them. The GMT-400 vehicles had a recovery tank mounted on the passenger fender near the firewall. Depending on year it will either be a regular over flow type tank or actually a...

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    I got the camera for a few minutes this morning, took pictures, downloaded the pictures and took the camera back. Only then to realize it was on some weird setting and they all look really dark. Oh well, dark pictures are better than none. I got the battery trays in. I didn't even think...

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    Another week has flown by. All front suspension and steering parts have been replaced or rebuilt after inspection and put back together. New u-joints over the entire truck and all drive shafts back in. We also aligned the front tires. I was only 3.5° off on the toe by eyeballing it. Brakes...

    6.2 engine oil dipstick tube seal?

    I have not looked for this in the -P manual, so I don't know for sure. That would be the best way to confirm or deny this. However, I have never seen an O-ring on the dip stick tube where it slides into the side of the oil pan. There is about 1/2 inch of pretty tight interference fit and then...

    Vacuum Regulator Valve for 85 M1009

    Amazon has them for less than $100. So do several other places: https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-14057219-Equipment-Automatic-Transmission/dp/compatibility-chart/B0013FU8Q2

    DB2 Injection Pump Rod With Spring??

    Oh, sorry. That fits over the drive shaft at the gear. The fat end pushes up against the timing cover.

    DB2 Injection Pump Rod With Spring??

    Did they tell you it was ready to bolt up and run? Maybe that is the old one that they put a new one in?

    M1008 CUCV Gen 2 Light

    You have entered the voodoo section of CUCV wiring. Do you have the exactly correct number bulb in the Gen 2 light socket? Have you taken the 6 pin ground terminal off the parking brake bracket, cleaned it and cleaned all the ground wires connecting to it? How is your heater fan ground wire...

    Brent Mullins Jeep Parts owner is the man behind starting the museum. i went ahead and uploaded another video. The one with the least amount of sun glare. https://youtu.be/huAb7vSEV2g i was trying to sneak over to the side and get the lead trucks turning when the rumble bumps got me. It is...

    No, 6.2 blocks just have a small hole on the back of the valley.

    2017 TX MV Rally

    I made it home safe as well. Just finished breakfast and uploaded the convoy video. https://youtu.be/t9jjM11xcEY I got a few M1009 dash iPad videos of the convoy in motion. But, we were driving into the sun the entire trip. Once again it was nice to see and visit with everyone.

    2017 TX MV Rally

    We had a wonderful lightning show, but no rain after around 1800 or so. Lots of visiting kept us up late. Lincoln is is parked in "Lake Lincoln". While I am making due on the edge of lake CUCV. Nice thing about holding a rally in an abandoned rock quarry. You don't since far. The sun is just...

    Oil pressure gauge wiring

    The M35 gauges don't have illumination wiring. They have power and they have a sender wire. Ground is through the panel screws which is often a cause of erratic gauge readings. Illumination is from the clear sides in the gauges getting fed red light from the two lights for the entire gauge...

    So, on a scale of "Meh" to "Dude, you're gonna die by death wobble"

    I brought up tire balance because of my M715. It is a closed knuckle D60. Not the same as yours. No stabilizer shock either. Running ndt tires, I got death wobble 43-47 mph when in a turn. Also 52-55 mph if one front tire hit a bump. I could narrow the speeds it happened, but it still happened...

    I'm ready for the rain. No sleeping in puddles for me this year.

    Fire.....well amost

    Dang Steve. I'm glad he made it home without something on the side of the road happening. I know it is going to hurt, but try welding a nut to what is left of the starter bolts. Say, 1/2" inside nut with just a tack on the inside to the bolt end. They won't have much tension on them, so once...

    So, on a scale of "Meh" to "Dude, you're gonna die by death wobble"

    The open knuckle D60 has a long reputation of liking new or shimmed king pin springs on top. Have you checked or replaced them? More than likely, your changing the steering stabilizer a few years ago just masked the problem instead of fixing it. This one is probably worn out like the last...

    2017 TX MV Rally

    Sorry you can't make it Jeff. I always enjoy these visits. Now, the forecast is for rain Thursday evening, all day Friday and into Friday night. I am starting to think the M1009 with a covered M101 to sleep in makes the best sense.

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    Good point about the field repair. I plan to clamp these things down so they don't rub themselves or anything near them too much. I just got to work in the M715 with a bed full of parts for the Cowdog. Plus a GEP 6500 with a broken rod end. We are going to see if anything on that engine is...
