Well, the Humvee pulley set works. The water pump pulley comes with a mounting boss for the Humvee fan clutch which is not correct for a CUCV. You just have to remove this boss and machine a counterbore to accept the CUCV fan, or I suppose you could run a Humvee fan. Also the spacing off the...

If anyone is interested, this is how I ended up building the setup. I put the compressor on the driver side with a custom bracket off the alternator. This retains the factory 24 volt system, avoids my electric air compressors already installed on the driver side, and leave the entire passenger...

Advance Adapters manufactures an aluminum case 2 speed transmission (.73 OD and 1:1) that mounts in front of the SM465. I run one in my m1009 and it works well. You can split all gears in 4wd, 2wd, low or high and it is very useful off road to keep the diesel in it's power band. With 3.73...

I have had the noise for 3 years on a junkyard trans, and when I pulled it everything was in great shape except some wear on the leading edge of the reverse gear, which I expect in an un-synchronized gear. Still has the noise after rebuilding. No apparent damage, but it is very annoying.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but did you ever figure out a fix for the rattle? I have the exact same rattle (video link at the end), and am wondering how you dealt with it. I've always this rattle/grind at low RPM that sounds like the engine pulses are causing the gear teeth to...

Haha ok. This is not a solution I am going to implement, though I appreciate your suggestion 🙂

Thanks for all the input so far. With the engine off and cold, I can spin the fan easily by hand. I assume this means the clutch is not locked up? The engine starts and runs well for what it is, so I don't think I want to just pull it out blindly. I'll purchase a diesel compression tester...

Well, I am not sure what to try from here. I just replaced my thermostat for the second time with another Delco 132-55 (GM 14077122), and the truck still will not warm up above 160F. I have a Vintage Air system with a block off valve in the heater circuit, so there is no flow through the...

Well, I'm not proud of this. I dont necessarily know if it was the "correct" fix, but I took the glass and felt seals out again tonight and used a prybar to increase the size of the opening at the top of the gate by ~1/8". Its an not noticeable to the eye, and the only way to tell is to...

The replacement track felt is manufactured by Precision. Part number GRP 1130 76. It is a good fit and easy to install, very similar to the original factory material, and costs $30 for both sides since you reuse the original metal tracks. https://www.prp.com/product/detail/352267 I removed the...

Thanks for your reply. What is a "lower sash guide"? Is it just the tab on the end of the sash, or is there a separate component that goes there? The side tracks are the original parts, with the flocked lining replaced with new material from Precision. The glass still binds with the sash...

I have an '86 K5 with a manual tailgate window. Back in April the window bound up due to a rusted through sash and the pot metal "clutch" that couples the handle to the regulator broke. I used that as an excuse to go through it, and cleaned and greased the regulator, replaced the rollers...

The PEEK washers from McMaster arrived, and fit nicely. I prefer to use original parts where possible, but these will be as good of an insulator as the original parts and should last for many decades. As a follow up question, neither of my original alternators had a resistor across the...

I am trying to rebuild a failed alternator on my M1009, and an having a hard time fining the parts. I bought 2 "rebuild kits" which were allegedly for isolated ground 27SI alternators and specifically listed the M1008/M1009 as compatible applications, but they are missing a lot of critical...

Hi, Has anyone installed the Nostalgic Air A/C compressor brackets along with a 6.5 turbo swap? I have parts from a 6.5 TD in storage to install in the future, but they are out of state so I can't measure anything. I am in the middle of an A/C swap and am trying to decide between the...

I'm getting ready to add AC to my m1009, and figuring out where to mount the compressor. I will be keeping the 24v charging system and adding a 6.5 turbo in the future, so the plan is to build a bracket to hang the compressor under the driver side alternator. I had been planning to use the four...

I dont think so, but I will double check anyway. Also these checks were performed after driving ~15 min, so would you expect the battery to be recharged by then?

Hey all, M1009 with the factory dual alternator setup. Truck starts and runs fine. Batteries were replaced a couple months ago, as the old ones were wearing out. They were in it when I bought it and served me well for ~3 years. Now the front battery voltage is a bit lower than the rear and...

I connected the batteries back up on my M1009 this morning, after the truck had been sitting for several weeks for axle rebuilds. When I connected the rear battery I got a small spark, which I assumed was due to a light I had left on or something. When starting the engine the GEN2 light stayed...

The leak went from fairly small to very large when I put it back together, so I'm thinking it's gotta be something I messed up. I also use permatex Right Stuff. Best sealer out there. Wheich 4 corners did you use it on?
