It was pretty simple, the Samurai ran later the day again. The water just killed the ingnition , they spent some time with tools under the hood and then it started to sputter & needed some pedal to keep it alive but then it was ok. for the M1009 I found out about adding a Snorkel from the...

Today I lubed the window crank inside and painted the Tailgate & the crank cover (Coverplate both sides & mouting area, Tailgate just the side to the bed). had some paint left and decided to paint the sparetire mount aswell. ...also I started doing research about a snorkel, I think I was...

I once heard someone say M ten zero nine ..so I adapted that for me ..however : make sure you put 2 good batteries in, with lousy batteries electrical gremlins are not far away! , then replace all filters & fluids, service the Hubs, check the Driveshafts etc. lube everything, clean the...

looks like a sweet project to start :D good luck with it!

the glowplugs you bought were designed for 24V ? maybe they work but just take much longer to heat up than 12v´s ? if it works I wouldnt worry about it. If you have starting problems, rough idle at the beginning and lots of smoke you should maybe switch over to AC delco 60g or Ac delco 13g?

from quick research on german sites its a armored infantry combat vehicle based on the "Adler Standart 6" model. mostly used for training maybe. http://static1.carsablanca.de/files/medias/filename/Standard_6_0771_big.jpg

Can I nominate my CUCV M1009 ? its not fully original, Rear Bench is out and a sheet metal wall was welded in, also the rear windows in the hardtop are gone & replaced with sheet metal. Plus I have a "emergency seat" between the 2 front bucket seats (for taxe reasons it was welded into a true...

congrats on bringing her home safe :D when I bought my CUCV it was a 4,5hrs drive...and I had nothing with me! Didn´t need anything aswell, Truck had freshly passed inspection and all fluid levels were ok before and after the 1 hour test drive (and it had brand new MT Tires on it) , did some...

looks like a nice project

you dont need an excuse, vehicles not moving for too long can get serious damage ;)

the ol´bucket seats are still in (I plan on swapping a restored bench in it since there are 3 seats in the title), I need a new inner passenger side front fender and I have some rusty spots which I plan to eliminate this summer... also the rear brakes are untouched, still good. And im planning...

check my "members rides" post for what I did in 2 yrs just to "keep it on the road" :grd: , these old ladies need some love :mrgreen:

today I finished installing the new parking brake cable and took the CUCV to the TÜV, 15 min before they closed I got in, got the new cable inspected & INSPECTION PASSED without any problems :naner: no worries for the next 2 years hopefully :D oh yeah, good tires are your life insurance, had...

today I went for the TÜV inspection, everything went fine & good until the brake test: front&rear both sides evenly good, also the parking brake...but it wont release aua . Then we found out that it will release if someone pulls the brake cable... so thats a major problem, inspection not passed...

Im used to order parts online at Rockauto.com since its impossible to get parts in a store over here in germany :D always ordered for an 1985 K5 Blazer with 6.2 Diesel /Th400 Trans... everything fits, except the tank-cap, the civi one is much smaller than the army version. Oh and your...

Today I replaced my brake proportioning valve on the M1009 (again :roll: ) since there are no more obvious leaks left I hope on passing inspection ( here called TÜV / AU ) ..also I removed the brush guard, that thing is illegal in germany :whistle: had no choice, still snowy & cold but im a few...

nice to hear your rig is running fine again, but be aware of 1 golden rule: Whenever Problems occur, make sure Batteries & Fuses are all good ! When repairing my gf´s Audi 80 Quattro (former mine xD) I had no wipers, no electric cooler fan when all work was done, checked Fuses , replaced one and...

I use Shell rimula r4 15w40 x in my Army 6.2 NA and tomorrow I´m gonna put it into my "new" 1998 6.5 TD (has unknown sort of 15w40 in it said the previous owner) Both trucks start fine even in -20°C weather on the first attempt. I dont recommend using 10w or even 5w oils. make sure the oil is...

a piece of metal (the ones we used were plastic and foldable, you can see the black/yellow thing under my right rear wheel on the first picture) with a slip-proof surface...more common is to use them in dunes & sand , like this...
