He was great, I had to get a fuse block without wiring harness. We looked everywhere and couldn't find them, called hillbilly wizard up and they shipped it same day took like 10 mins. They are awesome.

Here it is, I was able to download it from the link previously posted in this thread.

Ok, that explains it then I guess it was never a separate part. Thank you for the answer, I knew someone here would be able to help. Let me figure out if I will be able to change all the connections into the new box without too much trouble.

Good Morning SS, I am in need of a new Fusebox, I have checked every part supplier I know including Hillbillywizard.com and cannot find anyone selling the Fusebox for a CUCV without the full wiring harness. Does anyone know of a place to get one?

KBS Diesel in Santa Ana also has worked on my truck so he knows the 24/12v system pretty well. Ben is the owners name.

Nice job on the turbo! When you get around to the 2nd fuel tank and exhaust share some pictures and info. I have been researching an aux tank but so far haven't found anything that will work.

Where can you find higher output alternators, I have actually been looking for isolated ground 150Amp alts.

Sorry, it is a AM/FM radio. Ok I'll have to look into wiring it directly with a relay from the wiper fuse. I just found it strange it turns off when the wipers are on (regardless of which fuse it is connected through).

I have a very odd problem I haven't been able to isolate, so I figured I would ask here. I have a radio running to the fuse box at the fuse labeled "LPS" just to the left of fuse #6 from this post. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?132309-CUCV-Fuse-Box-Layout I have also tested it...

M1009 with 37's and 4.56 gears. 65 Indicated, 55 True according to calculators.

It will be my daily driver, but I work ~2 miles from here so worse case I hoof it. I have daily driven an old 78 ford bronco for years now, so I'm no stranger to having to work out the kinks at first.

Awesome that is good to know, thanks.

Bought it from another private owner, it worked enough to get to the DMV and register it but then wouldn't start. Just got it running again, had to rebuild the starter, replace a battery and then replace the solenoid on the driver side firewall. Right now it seems to be running great, there...

I just wanted to post and say thank you for all of the information, etc. I just purchased a nice 85 M1009 and it awesome so far. I am excited about learning to work on it myself which will be nice, I figure people will ask for pictures so I'll try to get some taken this weekend and post them...

Wow, I just have to say thank you 98G that is beyond a generous offer, luckily I decided to ship it and don't need it for this trip. Members of this site are awesome.

Well just an update for everyone. I went and test drove the truck, it drove great and was in nice condition but after everything we decided to ship it (my wife felt a lot better about that too). So I should get it in a week or two once we coordinate things. Thank you to everyone for the advice...

Wow, thank you everyone for the responses. I am still going through them all and putting together my list for assembly tonight. Since someone asked, it will be from Albuquerque to Los Angeles, so weather shouldn't be an issue if the forecasts are right. I think the two big failures that worry...

Thank you very much Assel! As someone asked earlier if I had a backup, I was thinking of renting a uhaul and tow dolly. If I did that, as long as I put the truck in Neutral and the np-208 in neutral I should be safe right?

ok great advice, I guess I should look up how to check transmission fluid.
