Yeah... I just don't have anything lying around... I went down to the local "By the foot" metal supply.
Prolly overkill but I picked up some 5"x.5"x2' plate and some of that tubing. $16
I called a local trailer shop and sent them a picture of your hitch... they wanted $200 to build it. I'm...
I don't know that I would use ATF in any great volume. ATF has a lot of detergents in it and they can tend to clog and coat things when it is burned.
I did a lot of research on the different oils that could be burned when I converted my 85 Mercedes diesel to burn WVO. It was the opinion of a...
I had a conversation with the guy I bought my car from when I was converting my 1972 Datsun 510 from 5 back to 3. He converted it from 3 to 5. I wanted to convert it back because the brakes were soft and I didn't like the feel.
So, he said that when he went from 3 to 5 he had to clean EVERY...
I was just reading up on this and did a little search on the site. From what I understand the older version of DOT5 is yellow and the newer version is purple.... same stuff though
I also learned that you can buy the Mil-Spec fluid from http://www.sprucemtsurplus.com/ for $30/gal ... that is...
That makes sense.
Then on the noise front... I have an 87 diesel van and it has this plastic muffler inline from the front of the vehicle to the air filter. Has anyone ever put something like this on an CUCV? Was it very effective? Was it worth the effort?
Probably thinking too much...

mangus580, do you have dimensions for this hitch? I'd like to build one.
How thick is that plate? ? How long is the plate?
What are the dimensions of the smaller tubing?
The rest I think I can figure out

I did some reading several weeks ago when I was looking for an M1009.
I read a post somewhere that said the air filter housing inlet does not let enough air in. This person showed some pictures of his double stacked filters and "addition" inlet hole and plumbing to the front of the vehicle for...
Interesting thread... I was an MP back in the early 90s and I just got my first M1009. I was thinking about putting the MP markings on it. Guess I will need to contact my local law enforcement office. My guess would be that it is ok to do since
a. The word Military is before the word Police...
Thanks for the quick reply!!!
One more .... my rear window crank is missing the center piece so the crank just goes round and round and the window doesn't move. Is there a supplier for that part? The PO said they are NLA. True?
Would www.flmv.net or GMpartdirect.com have them?
Hi,
I just got my M1009 yesterday and I have a few questions...
Is there a civilian vehicle that would have the same rims as a M1009? I need a spare.
Anyone know what size tire came on the M1009? My speedo seems to be off a bit
Also, the PO of my M1009 put in a manual button for the glow...
This thread is about a year old.... but....
