Just a quick observation. If you were to flip the tire over is it possible the studs will be long enough? Or is it deeper on that side?

Warwag what is the approx height from the floor to the top of your seat. Mine sits at about 12-13 inches and seems too low for comfort for my legs I should have measured my M1009 when I had it to see what height they were at as it did not seem like my legs were cramped in it.

I found the part number but for some reason the search function did not work when I put the numbers from Dogheads post in. Balancer - GM 14022611 NAPA - BK 6005282 which is a Dorman - 594-128 Timing Cover Seal GM 3860095 NAPA - 23300 National - 3945

I did that search and I realize that this post is from 2012 but nothing comes up. Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. I did find that part number so not sure why it did not come up

Might consider hooking up some car alternators up to be belt fed and charge up some batteries, then use a convertor(if available) to run the refrigerators. Of course this is not the site to discuss this but there are several out there. Good luck I have been following the situation for a couple...

Hard to say if this is a video of one running or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjB1JlG3OpM

The key I used for my first M1009 was to the M1008 I drove in the Seabees still has the vehicle Navy number on it. Still use that key. Almost all Seabee mechanic and EO's from the 80's 90's prob still have a key on their key chain or laying around in their gear somewhere

Has there been a rash of CUCV thefts. When I purchased my latest from the Police dept they were amazed when I handed the keys they gave me to the wife told them I already had a key and started it up. They said they had no idea the keys were the same for all of them.

So far so good no leaks and it appears to be working. Daily driver again. Shift is so smooth now, even more than before the pump failed.

I know an old thread. Instead of a swing out why not a swing down carrier. The carrier would fold up/down with the help of the Stretcher lift, place the tire into the carrier bolt it in place and then lift it up and secure it with a pin.

The pump(rebuilt) is still available from NAPA. The local carquest owner was happy to help out. The first (distributor gasket did not fit) so he started going through his gaskets. He said this part of the job was more satisfying then just pulling a part that the computer said was the...

Thanks, I will check with the local carquest tomorrow. They still have some real parts counter guys that might find something in stock that will work. If not have no problems making my own. Then I will be rebuilding the old pump. I did get it to work for a couple days by putting a couple oz...

NAPA had the vacuum pump. Now I need the gasket. Looks like I may have to make one. Will cork work for the gasket or is there some other material I should use to make this gasket?

I used a set of magnetic lights and attached them to the top of the tailgate of the trailer. Worked fine and did not fall off for the four hour trip back home.

Thanks I seem to remember ours had them and they were mounted in the center section not behind the seat like in the M-1008. I just do not remember if they were the same mounts or something different. All our medics carried 45's/9mm pistols.
