Is there a thread on added this manual set-up? Can you be more specific on how it is done?

Yes, Sir, General.

You are correct, General. I just got promoted to Corporal!

I was going to replace the striker bushings on my M1009 and once I got the striker bolt removed, the threaded piece in the door jamb dropped! WTH do I do now?

On my recent GA recovery, the M1009 has been modified, although, not by the military (maybe). There is no modification plate on the door. However, thanks to CARNAC, this M1009 saw service in Miami, FL. Someone when to a lot of effort to make the modification and it looks good. Bad news is...

Wait light comes on but goes off quickly, say 2-3 seconds. Temp was in the high 50s yesterday in SC. Even cycled several times. Water in Fuel light stays on despite repeated draining of the new filter. Will water and diesel separate into two phases or appear merky? The fuel coming out...

It took forever to get it started. I replaced the fuel filter and bled the lines. Got good, clean diesel coming out. It was a warm (60s) day and the starter was really spinning but it would not catch. Any suggestions?

Thanks for all of the helpful suggestions! Key: WD-40, new fuel filter, charged batteries, heat gun, tow hooks, and the TMs!

Carnac, Last one, not as much info on this one (also a M1009 CUCV): a) 1G8ED18J3FF113017 I just got it from a junkyard in South Georgia. I am really interested in finding out about this one. Thanks!

Sorry, here is the registration number: b. NF03SW

Carnac, 1984 M1009 CUCV a. 1G8ED18J2EF153118 b. unknown c. 2320011232665 d. Fort Bragg, NC e. unknown Many thanks! Keep up the research.

Awoke this morning to snow in SC! Added bonus...a snow day from work. Working on the recovery of another CUCV from GA on Friday and making homemade bread. Stay safe out there.

I would love to get some of your decal photos so I could reproduce them my my restoration.

Look right by your avitar; it is on the top and bottom left of the forum box.

Good suggestion! I read everywhere not to use starting fluids with a GP diesel so WD-40 has found a new use.

I am headed to GA next week to recover a 1985 M1009 CUCV I purchased. A few weeks ago, I was able to get it started and drive it a few short miles to my Dad's house to await my return. I have decided to trailer it back to SC. It has sat for a long time prior to my purchase and was out of...

Fantastic! You will probably have to adjust the door latch mechanism with the three screws. Maybe not. You can also buy the bolts with the sleeves already on if your old bolts are really beat up; under ten bucks. Let us know if it helps.

Do the striker bolts have the white plastic sleeves? A pack of four will run you under 5 bucks at Autozone. Take the bolts off and slide the new ones on. Greatly helped my doors.:)

Thanks, General! Can you provide a little more information? I am originally from GA but am unfamilier with CSI.

I have been looking but to no avail.
