Did a search and read the TM and couldn't find the size of the rivets.
I'm buying a rivet tool and just want to make sure I am getting the right size tool for the job. Thanks
Hello all, did a quick search and didn't find anything like the issue I am having. So here it goes. I got a 1971 AM General 2.5 ton. When purchased didn't have any brakes. Went through the whole system, replaced the Master Cylinder, Air Pack, one rear brake line, all wheel cylinders, three...
So starter went today. While taking it off to bring it in for a rebuild I noticed allot of oil around the work area. Reason it went was a bolt fell out (kind of surprising) and when I went to try and turn it over the starter twisted and broke off a portion of the starter housing and wouldn't...
Well my pipes have rotted off and its time to re-do the exhaust. Man it will be nice not getting all the fumes leaking up through the tailgate for a change. I want to put a HMMWV fording exhaust on my M1009. I got a guy that says he can do the work. Just wondering what you all thought, and or...
So tonight I found a nice leak in my radiator. Anyone have a part number to its civilian equivalent? I would like to get this ordered by tomorrow so I can replace it this weekend. I would go out and measure it now but its to dark and by the time I get home there is not a whole lot of daylight...
OK arrow points toward the part in question. Essentually my issue is the glow plugs won't engage unless I place a knife blade or other metal across two of the points on this part and complete the connection myself. So I am pretty sure it is bad. All I need now is it's proper name to order the...
So I still have the original two batteries in my M1009, and it's time to replace these old boys. They just won't hold a charge very well now a days. What have you guys been putting in your 1009s for replacement batteries? Need something that will handle cold weather. Not to conscious as far...
Hey, I have an issue I need to find an answer for.
I have a relative that is taking care of my M1009 while I am overseas. When I was home here a few months ago I took a picture of my odometer just for S**** and Giggles.
this particular relative is not exactly been known for his honesty. In...
So after adding the snorkel to my M1009, I realize there is more to making your BOV (bug out vehicle) submersible than just the air intake.
Next on the list is an exhaust, that should obviously be just as high as the intake. so I was looking thorough the net and found this picture which has...
Question, what does one have to do to register a trailer in the state of CA? Do you have to take it to the DMV or are their forms you can mail in or register it on their website? Any information is much appreciated.
Trailer would be an M101.
Will the electrical system on this M101 fit my M1009 CUCV Blazer? I want this trailer bad but wont be able to bring it home unless I can make the lights work, as far as I know the trailer and M1009 are both stock. I included a pic of the trailer and the placard for identification.
I know the...
Warn Industries - Military and Severe Duty Winches: Severe Duty 12 Deep Fording
What do you guys think about mounting this to a M1009 CUCV Blazer? Thinking I could just wire it into the 24 volt system, (haven't changed it yet). I know its a little much for a 3/4 ton truck (rated at 9000lbs)...
Bran new 33 inch tires on a stock 1984 M1009. Just in case anyone wants to see how they look or question if they will fit. No rubbing even at extreme turns or off roading. Mounted on stock rims no lift.
So i was traveling northbound Mission Avenue in Oceanside CA, and passed a woodland Camo M1009, lifted with what looked like a winch on the front. The other individual was traveling in the opposite direction and I waved while driving mine painted in desert tan.
Was it anyone on this site?
