    2013 Annual TX MV Rally

    I spent a few hours looking around there on Friday afternoon. I wish I could have stayed longer so I could watch all trhe fun, but I had to be back at work by 7a.m. on Saturday. I didn't see any of the MVCC North Texas guys, but got the opportunity to meet a few new people and chat awhile.

    1031 water leak in cab

    My M1009 had the same problem. When I had the windshield replaced about a month ago, it was noted that a small hole had been drilled on both sides at the lower corners of the windshield under the rubber seal. You can lift the edge of the windshield rubber at the lower corners to see if the...

    Has anyone bought an M1009 that doesn't start?

    Mine required an ignition key switch (normal CUCV key worked in the doors and tailgate but not the ignition), a fresh set of batteries (I scored a couple of Armasafe Hawkers), and the glow plug card was missing. Those things done she cranked right up.

    Join my North Texas Military Vehicle Collector Club PLEASE!!

    "Hi, John!", I'm bad with names also so I have fun when the shoe is on the other foot. Wish you could have made it too, but I know it would have been quite a drive. I was talking about you last night in reference to the "law book" I carry with me for running with registered bumper numbers...

    Batterys

    I have Hawker Armasafe Plus 6TAGM's (1225 CCA) that I got used and recovered as per TB 6140-252-13. They have been in my M1009 for about a year now and I have had no problems with them. Here is the link to the TB http://www.cerdec.army.mil/directorates/docs/c2d/TB9_6140_252_13.pdf

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    JD, pics would be great, and yes more info on the resistor size and how to wire. Sounds like a great mod.

    Truck shutting off after driving/ return valve?

    Let me know if this works for you. I have been lurking here for about a year and looking through the TM's to absorb knowledge....I just don't post very often. Still trying to get my M1009 in top shape. I recovered it last March out of Saginaw, TX. Going to do a spin-on filter mod...

    Truck shutting off after driving/ return valve?

    You said you replaced the ignition switch already. You might check to make sure the plug on the steering column is still completely plugged in. Have you replaced the key cylinder? Take a look at the TM-20 figures F-3 (Engine Compartment Ignition Circuits) and F-4 (Cab Ignition Circuits). The...

    Glow plug relay question

    After sitting for the last couple of weeks in the driveway, I finally got around to installing my new GPR I bought for $9.00 (thank you TAMECROW). The glowplugs cycled and she started right up. There was no part number on the relay and it came sealed in plastic in an unmarked box. The relay...

    Glow plug relay question

    Just ordered two of these on Saturday night and they arrived in the mail yesterday. Hope this solves my problems. The old one tested bad per tm-20. I also installed new AC 60G's with new terminals, resistor bypass getting power from the 12v bus bar, and replaced fuel filter. I bled the fuel...
