    CUCV2/CUCV-II Owners, post pics and info of your truck

    Just got back from vacation and finally seeing the truck in person for the first time. I had a company deliver it to my house while I was gone . Are these supposed to have a data plate my m1009 does ? Also looks like the windshield is leaking pretty bad up by the roof. The drivers side sun...

    CUCV2/CUCV-II Owners, post pics and info of your truck

    The description said that it didn’t run (I’ve bought enough gov auctions to know that doesn’t mean anything lol). I talked to the chief of police about it after I won it and he said it ran when it was parked about 2 years ago and the batteries are just dead ). I’ve got a hauling company...

    M1010 Radio ideas

    If you take the dash pad off, the holes are there for the front speakers. I can't remember the size, I think they are 3.5" and you can pick the mounts from a junk yard. I also installed some 6x9 speakers in boxes on the rear wheel well hump. As far as the radio goes, you can get the template...

    Newb.... with M1008

    I got the rear seat out of m1009 and the dash out of the civilian blazer he had also.

    Newb.... with M1008

    It's a real m1008. I know the previous owner, he also has an m1009 that he's selling for parts. I've seen this m1008 in person several times in the last couple of month and can vouch for it being an m1008 and not a civilian truck.

    Stupid question about right floor of M1028

    It's the mount for the chemical agent alarm.

    Source for reliable starter (or rebuild service)

    I sent you a PM. I can look at the m1009 with you and help you out since I'm close to you.

    Picked up another m1009

    I just picked another m1009 this week. A local sheriff's office brought all their unused vehicles to the auction. It needs a new starter, and the passenger side rocker needs to be replaced, but its a pretty good Georgia truck. I paid a whopping $1100 for it. It still has the Motorola police...

    Transmission issue

    I don't know if it matters or not, but there is some fluid that spits out the vent on top, I don't know if that means the pump is pumping and the filter is clogged?

    Transmission issue

    I'm having an issue with the transmission in the m1009. When its cold, it'll shift and move. As soon as it warms up, it wont shift at all. When its warm, the engine just revs and nothing happens. If I manually shift it, nothing happens either. If i let it cool down, it will shift again but...

    Installed manual push button but still have a problem

    You were right, I wasn't paying enough attention and had the dark blue wire hooked up. It's on the right blue wire now and the relay is working. The wait light doesn't work anymore though lol
