    M1009 side windows

    You pull the center cord put of the outside of the rubber window molding, the then reinstall the cord after the window is reinstalled. Soapy water helps the process. Just a word of warning, it will get hotter then h@#l for your back seat passengers because airflow won't get back there w/o the...

    engine block heater

    We have the frost plug one from NAPA, and when we plug it in over night the snow will be melted off the hood, boy I wish did it a year earlier. I have one for our new CUCV so when I change the radiator then I have it in hand to install it when the cooland is out.

    Changing the diff with break cleaner ?

    At work {a trucking company} we use brake cleaner when we tear anything down. I fact we get it in a 55 gallon drum and use rechargable spray cans.

    cucv tires

    I've got BFG AT's on my Durange and GY silent armors on my boy's 09 and I personaly like the GY's for grip over the BFG's.

    Ford CUCV

    COMBATT was built on a '99 F350 with F450 axles. I got a chance to monkey around with the prototype some 3-4 years ago. Neat truck but WAY to many bells and whistles and that is probably what killed the program.

    Sylvania Silverstar Installation

    We've been running SliverStars in my boy's 009 for a couple of years now with no problem. I'm planning on doing something simular to LMC's headlight relay system.

    M1009 little heat to no heat

    One thing to remember 009 guys, our heater system is designed to handle a vehicle that has inner insulation panels on the interior of the truck, our CUCV's have very few of those. With my boy's 009, even when the front is warm, the back seat is still plenty cold with all that bare steel.

    M1009 got hit this morning

    We got a replacement Pass side front quater from NAPA and it's really good quality and a really good price. It is also CAPA certified for OEM fit and finish. One of the things that concerned me the most about LMC is that they talked about dents and dings in shippment and this one was flawless.

    convert to dual electric fans?

    I did that on my boys m1009, because the fan clutch started to come apart. I picked up 2 of the 16" or 18" from Advanced Auto, and one of the thermostat switch kits. I took off the shroud, and mounted the pass side fan high on the radiator, and the driver's side low on the radiator. I routed...

    CUCV Never Ending Problems

    Hoolio, One thing to remember, diesels do not like sitting. If it's 20 some years over with only 9200 miles, it sat for a while. I have also found that the ultra low sulpher diesel sucks, I run a gallon or so, of filtered WMO per tank and the clatter noise level has dropped alot.

    M1009 eating vac modulators

    The "pre-first" one was bad and leaking when we got the truck. The first one was from NAPA, and it worked great and the truck shifted when it should when it first went, it would shift to soon and when it would shift to second, it would then shift to third almost immeditly. And then shortly...
