No not really. they are hard to come by. Keep an eye on Ebay. But that is the best way to see what is going on with the vibration. I'll bet yours is jumping around a lot. Mine was. Doubt you will find one that cheap. This is like mine.

Unlike a gasoline engine that premixes it's fuel and air before delivery to the cylinder with a timed spark from a spark plug. The diesel relies on the injection pump to pressurize the fuel to the injector at an exact opening pressure to maintain the timing for the compression ignition. If the...

If you can see the engine shake, it is a good possibility that it is uneven injector opening pressure's.

Unbalanced fuel delivery can cause vibration also. Such as injectors that don't deliver the same fuel amounts. and Injection pumps that do not deliver proper fuel amounts to the injectors. My M1009 was pretty rough at idle when I got it. I replaced the injectors and the HB and it is as smooth as...

I have a 24volt Socket brand inverter that I use on my m1009. it is a 10,000W surge 5,000W continuous. 120 volt. It comes in handy for running power tools and lights and things.

Looks like people like goats.

I'll do that. I'm asking because I have seen a Mag distributor. But they may have just used it on a stationary engine such as a gen set or compressor.

Does anyone have a definitive answer to the use of Magneto Ignition distributors During WW2 on MB and GPW Jeeps. Yes or no they did not. I have never seen one on a period vehicle. But seems like they would have used them. Anybody know for sure?

Mine is in it's War clothes! they did not run tops on the front. LOL But I'm thinking that a pretty women in a bathing suit sitting on the hood may have helped!

I have a top for mine! lol

It has the very early Kelsey Hayes solid dish wheels, that were delivered on early...

Another source of problems is the fuel cap. The valve in the fuel cap on my M1009 was clogged and not functioning. I noticed when I stopped to fuel it up one day that when I opened the cap, It had a lot of vacuum on it. I know GM designed it to have a small amount to reduce foaming in the tank...

With all lights and blower mtrs and things off. should be no drain on a battery other than the fuel sol. The wire, was it on the drivers side alternator? Are your alternator's proper for a CUCV ( Isolated ground) still? if the answer is yes. that wire you removed was the ground for the...
