    CUCV Starter relay part number

    The plan today was to do the Doghead modification. I have the replacement ready to install. I'm just waiting for the snow to stop.

    CUCV Starter relay part number

    Here is the inside of a blown starter relay. Notice how tiny the points are (and how they are fused together). Also notice all the melted plastic:

    CUCV Starter relay part number

    I just bought a M1009 CUCV from govliquidation.com. When it wouldn't start I checked the relay under the dash. Not only do I need to do the modification but the four wires had a meltdown and fused together. I am in the process of separating and repairing wires. Is the red wire supposed to supply...

    Pintle Hook Repair

    I would also consider using heat. I bought a trailer and wanted to spin the pintle downward. Penetrating oil, pry bars, and hammers had almost no effect. We used a plumbers torch to heat the pintle and threads and it finally broke free.

    I love the Rhino liner look. I just did the bumpers and lower body of my M880 Dodge in Herculiner and now I want to do the upper in gray.

    Transporting an M1009

    My father-in-law and I went to French Camp, CA to pick up my new M1009 CUCV. We removed the drive shaft, pumped up the tires to 40psi, and towed it home with a "Blue Ox" tow bar. It pulled like a dream behind my Expedition. I found an "equipment record folder" inside the truck and learned that...

    Transporting an M1009

    Hi guys, I'm planning on using a tow bar to tow home my new purchase. Do you have to remove both drive shafts from an M1009 or can you just put the transfer case into neutral?

    The new look of my Dodge M880

    The End Of The World As We Know It (TEOTWAWKI... Pronounced Tia-two-walkie). Most vehicles pre-1980 don't have electronic/digital circuitry and, thus, will still run after an EMP strike (electro-magnetic pulse). But until then... We use it for cutting firewood!

    Help with Peltor Litecom

    I have the same pair of head sets. I tried putting a stereo jack in the "REM" slot but I think that is for a remote push to talk switch.

    Ha-ha. Nope. Slow and steady on the weekends. I buy these glides on Rockler http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=1580&site=ROCKLER and cut them to size for woodworking jigs. If cut thin enough, they could prevent the rivets from scratching the walls so badly. Beats grease, right?

    Has anyone tried using polymer glides to keep hard top from binding? i use them for table saw glides and think they might work to keep corners from binding.
