I had a guy do an odd repair for me when my CUCV lost all power on a road trip: He removed the check valve, and rerouted fuel into the new 'port' created by the check valve's absence. Anyone heard of this? That was a year ago and it's been running fine since, going to replace it when I get the...

Yes, I accidentally bumped the turn signal switch. Oops. Installed the doghead relay mod, the ignition still only works via key every once in a while, which leads me to believe there is a loose wire somewhere. What is the proper procedure for tracking this down? I have yet to take off the dash...

hah, oops. fallout 3 too much lately. anyways, how much longer will I have to hand signal turns??

Crash_AF thanks for the advice, managed to hotwire my ride! Everything is running fine, relieved to see it is just an electrical issue. Problem is, with the relay unhooked, when the car is started I'm not getting any turn signal response. I have dogmeats solution on backorder at NAPA, will that...

Took a second look at it, ya'll are right, not very strong place. If I put in a backing plate that attached to the frame rails above and below that portion of the body, I think it may be able to hold a bike. If I succeed, I'll post some pictures.

I've been eyeing the 4 bolt holes on the side of my recently acquired m1009 where the radio antenna mount used to be, wondering about their strength and potential applications. I imagine they just go through the body, but it seems like a strong portion nonetheless. I have 2 potential uses: A)...

Hey all, just bought an m1009 in PHX about 5 days ago, has been running great up until yesterday, when it descided not to start. No attempt to even turn over, just lights at 1/2 key turn and nothing at full ignition position. Based on what I've been reading on here, I'm inclined to think it may...
