    Cucv in Iraq

    Csm, to he!! with what the keyboard commandos think. Your CUCV has more character and war stories than a Government Liquidators going out of business sale. I would like to check it out though. Got pics? :p

    GEN 1 Issues

    Much appreciated! I will do. Also, I'm still going through the 'CUCV Alternator Symptoms, Diagnosis and Fix' Thread. I have the same belt as when it was working. I'll be getting a new belt as there has always been a mild amount of play. Not enough to squeal though.

    GEN 1 Issues

    Yes, Sir. 12v constant at red, 12v at brown with key on. Ground from alternator to block intact. Fan works, whether on cold or heat. I hear/feel the fan through all the switch positions.

    GEN 1 Issues

    My GEN 1 light came on while driving the other day. So, I rebuilt it with an alternator rebuild kit that I had from cucvelectric.com and cleaned off the electrical contacts. GEN 1 light still stays on. Each battery checks at ~12.5 with the vehicle off. While running, rear battery is at 14.4...

    I'm up and running!!!

    I bought this M1009 about a year and a half ago. When I got her, she was very mechanically sound. Had 42,000 miles on the odometer. However, the electrical components were a nightmare! :-| It was owned by a police department and they had radios, lights, sirens, etc spliced and hacked into every...

    You could wire an inverter (for 110 AC) to the radio power on the passenger side by the back seat.

    Swollen glow plug removal

    I have seen the type that ebay sells, i'll probably settle and pick up one of those. But, i'd really like to get one of those tools the OP was talking about. From what i've seen, they appear to be quite effective. Oh well.:cry:

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Got the heater hoses and radiator hoses replaced. Went to replace the thermostat and both bolts sheared off. Corrosion. So, made a run to a machine shop to drill them out (I don't have the tools for it). Got everything back today and put back together this evening. Started removing the old...

    For the turn signals, it could be a bad ground, or blinker switch went out.

    M1009 Wiring Issues

    Looks like a wiring harness may be the way to go. Thanks brother! I got a new fuse box, but it doesn't have any of the hardware(metal clips, pins, fuse attachment points?)I don't have a clue where to find those parts or how to install them. Any pointers?

    M1009 Wiring Issues

    The fuse box looks as though it was overloaded at one point, couple of melted fuse sockets, so no lights, blinkers, tail lights, etc work. The passenger side headlight/blinker wiring was chopped up at some point, needs to be un-clustered. Relay making all kinds of interesting noises. Couple...
