    Strange transmission behaviour...

    I bet you it's the shift linkage. My M1008 at work has the exact same problem. I just need to set aside some time to fix it! LOL!

    Steering wheel chain

    Is the chain for security? How many different keys fit the CUCV's???? LMAO! Couldn't resist (my sick humor). You guys that have the padlocks locked to the chain- if you don't have a key that fits it, then cut it off. That's just old ones from soldiers. They will loose the key to it and just...

    What has PVT pyle done to my steering wheel?

    LMAO!!! Yep, I notice the army half-a$$ fixes. I HATED those mechanics that just "fixed it good enough for now". Field is one thing, but when you're back, YOU FIX IT RIGHT! LOL!

    M1008 / M1009 CUCV Oil Cooler Line Failure

    I am going to check mine out this weekend and see if I have the defective lines. Free is free, but I WILL be double checking their work. I am like Dok, I don't trust too many other people.

    Amazing how much difference some 2cycle makes.

    QuickSilver-- Check your torque converter bolts. Pull them out and locktite them back in (torque to spec). Finding out that these motors love to back them out on you.

    Need new front leaf springs for M1009

    Does anyone know of a good place online? I hate dealing with some of these sites that don't understand that the M1009 is a different animal than the civi version. I also don't want to go with any place the re-arches, they tend to sag out quicker than new.

    Transmission and Transfer Case fluid capacity

    Well, when you know how much it takes and it takes more than "recommended", then you might have a problem. I hear you on the dipstick thing. The tranny fluid is always so hard for me to see at what level it's at. That's why I like to know the factory capacity so I know I am in the ballpark.
