Didnt post for a long time, was too busy with other things, but I still have the M1009 and use it off salt-season ;) got her running on saturday, been sitting for 5 months, that was kind of a long winter, but not very much snow...also short video of the start ;)

some time gone since the last post...But the CUCV is still doing well, today the M1009 got some service , engine oil & filter, greasing driveshafts and joints and I decided its time to fix the t-case output seal..sat in there like welded, 15 minute job took an hour atleast o.O anyone ever...

put my M1009 back on the road today (Have it seasonally registered here in Germany from April 1st to november 30th), started right up after sitting for 4 months, batteries in and started on first attempt...well a bit rough but still started , that counts haha ;)...

threw some grease on the pitman arm connections today, had a clunk noise when turning left, now its solved no more "weird" noises on turning any direction, she´s ready for road safety inspection now..illegal to drive without that in germany ..lets hope I can post more in the future, M1009 was...

took the CUCV for a final spin today....tomorrow I´m going to take the license plates off :shrugs: (temporarily, dont worry, my dad just bought a car and now my M1009 cant be in his insurance as placeholder anymore :D so I have to get an own ...kinda tricky & expensive in germany so I have to...

today (&yesterday) I spent some time with a buddy, we took the K1500 out for a snowboard run at night, and the other day the M1009 for a long snow run :D filmed with a GoPro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGU-AqViGL0&t=1s and https://youtu.be/NTZPDt2EvMQ

No, in the headlamps I´ve put some Phillips +60% bulbs , they work fine for me. (Im not 100% sure if its really phillips but im sure it said +60% on the package...is like 2 years ago that i`ve replaced the old ones) I doubt LED headlamps are legal here in germany ....

Today I checked all fluids & batteries, then went for a snow drive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSBqZhO-fac&feature=youtu.be while I was on the way I did some grocerie shopping aswell... CUCV was the best attraction on the parking lot :D

Welcome from Germany, its true, In europe getting a CUCV is quite difficult, there are like 10-15 up on the internet sale sites....and 95% of them are overpriced, rotted or totally messed up ...I was lucky to find a register ready runner. for about 7k$. ... In the US you probably can get 2 in...

I think that should be fine? the holes could be from the antenna mounting bracket if its missing?

I would translate that into "general CUCV and Truckstuff talk/hanging around" or something like that ?

if its a M1008/M1028 you could still haul something. The TH-400 + the 4.56 gears should do fine. but no high speeds then, a M1009 does not fit for towing really heavy stuff... 3.08 10 bolt axles and a weak hitch.

The 6.2 is basically the civi one, just with a 24V system (so you could jumpstart other army equipment) . You may consider reading through the TM´s found on this site. Its kind of special.. 2 12V Alternators, 1 of them isolated. glowplugs fed 24V through a resistor to give them 12V .... before...

Its a few of the german CUCV owners "whatsapp" group I guess :P I really look forward to the summer meeting next year, hopefully I will make it up to there. I think we have around 40 people in there, growing slowly^^

nice truck you have there..how long did you run it with not enough transmission fluid? If its now shiftig good then maybe you got away with it....how does the fluid look? red? dark? brown & smelling like it burned?
