    M1009 10 bolt rear

    LOL! My son needed one and I told him that you probably had one or two kicking around he just grumbled on about price and distance, I was even willing come down and pick it up just to meet up and look around your place, bet I could've found something needed too.

    Rear Brakes Lock Up M1028

    I know it doesn't sound 'right' but oil or brake fluid does cause brakes to lock up NOT slip, I've had that argument several times. If both wheels seem to be locking the same then I would try disconnecting the ride valve and try it set at different heights, IIRC you want it tied up to simulate...

    M1008 Wire nest

    Not on a Chevy truck but I have on a car, nice to work with and very well made, but if I were you I'd be looking in a junkyard and pull a civvie harness out. Find one with out power windows and such and grab the cab harness too.

    M1009 Flooring

    I used a couple of one piece rubber like mats from LMC, not sure if it's the same as what you are talking about. I used them in pick ups and they fit very well, a little funky at the front of the tranny hump. I did have to cut a hole for a transmission shifter, I don't remember about the...

    Lift Pump Leak

    It seems odd and is uncomfortable changing it from the top but if you do it from the bottom you will NEVER do that again! What a PIA!

    Dead short glow plugs

    I'm not sure how many amp the GP draw but my guess is more than 30. Try unplugging all GP and see what happens, if the fuse still blows then you know you have a dead short. I'm no electrical expert but I believe you would need some kind of slow-blow fuse (if even made for 12v) or a fusible link.

    Also look under the driver side floor mat if you have them, a leaky master cylinder will sometimes leak inside the cab.

    CUCV 1008,1009, 1028 prices.

    I sold one cheap about a year ago, let it go for $5,000 but the bed supports were starting to go and the cab corners and rockers popping it also had about 100,000 miles on it but ran great. I have a civvie Blazer that I turned down $12500. for it. Price can be hard to set , hope you get what...

    My M1009 has died new curve ball thrown Updated

    I'm thinking restriction in the fuel supply, I'd start with a new filter and think hard about that fuel sock in the tank. But before dropping the tank I'd run a line from the pick up side of the lift pump to a container of clean fresh fuel and see what happens, if it runs good and stays running...

    700R4 Transmissions Swap and Gearing Questions for M1008

    I kept the 4;56 gears and added a 700R4 within the first year and never looked back! I did have the tranny gone thru and added a corvette servo and a 0.5" TV (?) valve along with the hydraulic lock up on the converter and tires in the 31-32" range can 'comfortably' run 70MPH If you can stand the...

    CUCV M1008 wobbling. Help needed

    No, it hides the problem until the problem (lets say loose tie rod ends) are so bad that it not only becomes a safety issue but also causes your shimmy shock and other parts to wear out. Do it once and do it right.
