Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Ahh the sweet smell of success! Congratulations! I recently completed the same project. I had no problems with the shaft...that is after I removed the plate and applied the required grease to keep the darn thing up inside the engine!. Did you do the filter mod? I had to because the original box filter, was giving me fits! Anyway, the filter I found to replace it with was custom manufactored to replace the box filter (found in a lucky junk yard trip). You don't get the heater or the water in fuel protection, but in Wyoming my Duramax has been running for 9 years and I've never had water in my fuel. See attached pictures, hope they may help someone! Anyway, the primary and secondary system fit on the big steel plate. It won't fit on th M1009 with the buss bar in the way so the secondary went away for now. It's a RACOR system and from what little I can find on them (haven't looked hard) they are a pretty good system. I won't be using the secondary filter water seperator unless there's problems down the road.I decided to post in this section to make it short and sweet. Anyways, long story short, ever since the purchase of my M1009 ive had issues with the fuel delivery system and trouble shot everything I knew so the next thing on the list was to change the fuel pump. No big deal right? Especially at 26 dollars for a new fuel pump and an hour or two of my time. well once I got under there to take the old fuel pump off the push rod was cracked and fell out when I pulled the old pump off. Talk about an AWwww S^%T moment. Tracking down a new push rod was a job in itself and of all places the local GM dealer was able to order one from old stock 2,000 miles away. after lots of cussing I got the new push rod in and installed the new fuel pump and she now runs like a sewing machine! Mission accomplished.
I had a similar problem and spent less than $5 on a block-off plate for the pump opening, then added an electric pump on the frame.I decided to post in this section to make it short and sweet.

Welcome to the wonderful world of the CUCV. They can be great fun and can also drive you nuts. Change everything made of rubber, check for a front drive shaft and that's just the beginning. Won't tell you about the fuel fun yet...unless you get it. Then there's a lot of help on getting those particulars fixed.Bought a M1009 two days ago and have put about 60-70 miles on it so far. Why did I not buy one earlier? They are great!
I bought it from Ryan77 on here. He redid everything on it, i couldn't pass it up, he really knows the trucks, anyways he did the starter relay mod, manual glow plug switch, rhinolined floor, power tailgate window, glowplugs, belts, fluids, brakes, new paint just to name a few things, i have put about 70 miles on it without a problem. Starts everymorning without a problem. There is one problem though..... I don't have enough money to add all the things like antennas, winch, spot lights . I will make an album in a little of it!Welcome to the wonderful world of the CUCV. They can be great fun and can also drive you nuts.
