Thank You from another CUCV Tennessee owner. You saved me lots of time. John

I did a short weekend trip to North Alabama for the Huntsville Hamfest, about 100 miles away. The CUCV M1009 started having issues one after another. It started having loss of power issues, and struggles on hills. The charging system is over charging Fried my DC inverter (which was off)...

Watching this thread. Please keep us posted on how GM Part#15674368 cable works. I am looking to purchase a spare cable for parts. John

I had the same issue. I agree with above, check your lines first. After my vacuum lines checked out. It turn out my problem was the vacuum regulator value. A vacuum regulator value can be purchased on Amazon. stationjj

I have 2nd fuse panel for radios and such on my M1009. A friend helped me install some relays that will energize the panel with engine turned on. It works well no problems. I second Mainsail advice on the marine grade panel. It's a great panel, and the price is right. I believe it's made...

On adding a 3rd battery. I couldn't get any good pictures tonight. I will get some tomorrow. Basically I combined the 2 batteries on the front battery mount. With the front battery mount free I added the 3rd battery. Hope this helps? John KK4LNG

I use my M1009 for many back country camping trips. As mentioned before I think it depends on what your planning to run. I try and run most everything on DC, and avoid AC power devices. I use DC LED lights, DC TV/DVD, Ham radios, and other devices. Since I am a HAM radio operator I decided to...

I purchased a 24 volt starter off Ebay from DB Electric as a backup. It has no tag other than 'Made in China' I purchased it years ago before I got schooled on CUCV starters on SS. I want to find an original CUCV starter and do a rebuild. I hope starter will hold up when needed? Anyone...

I did a 2nd attempt on adding rearview mirror. I thought a rearview mirrors are the same. I found that the LMC 12 inch rearview mirror doesn't work well. I had issues adjusting it for a good view. I purchased a 10 inch mirror off Amazon. It works much better. I also used Permatex repair...

This week; Replaced electric fuel pump and inline filter Changed oil John

I have a few questions concerning the fuel tank and sending unit for a M1009. I recently had fuel starving issues and power lose. I hope I have issues fixed with electric fuel pump replacement? At some point I need to drop the tank. A future project, and I want to prepare for that time. I...

Update I got the fan clutch installed. It did seem to quieten down a bit. If that's possible on a CUCV? HAHA! The old fan clutch was going out so it needed to be replaced. Got the truck ready for a camping trip to LBL. I thought my issues were fixed. About half way to Land Between the...

With my recent fan clutch issue. During research I discovered this page concerning the cooling system on 6.2 and 6.5 diesel. Seems they don't have good reputation. It was good information for me. Thought I would share. For others this is old news. Link...

The common census points towards the fan clutch. I picked up a fan clutch from Napa today. FYI Napa Part number #273377. This is a thermal fan clutch. The CUCVs use a non-thermal fan clutch. Can some provide some input will this make a difference? Thanks, stationjj

Thanks everyone. Update on where I am. I was able to drive it more today. When the issues started yesterday it was raining hard. I drove the truck 10-15 miles today. I had lose of power and a roaring sound from engine. The lose of power is noticeable, but not the same when I had fuel...

Thanks for your input. That is something to consider. I do have an issue were the heater fuse melted on the fuse panel. I think it's causing an issue with my exciter wire on Alt 1. Maybe it's related as well? I have been driving truck for weeks with Alt 1 issues. I didn't think it was...

Today I went on a 35 mile trip. As I arrived I starting noticing lose of power. At the time no big deal. Last time I had that issue I replaced fuel filter and I was good. On the way home I noticed another issue a periodic roaring sound. A roaring sound almost like when air filter is off...

Thanks for the reply. I apologize for the stupid question. At the time I was in a bind. I was unsure about what I was getting into with regard to my auto repair experience. I was wanting some direction. Yes, I did search via google, but I couldn't what I was looking for. stationjj

Hey, How hard is it to remove the fuse panel inside the truck? I am currently having an issue with front battery not charging. As per a post from Warthog on this thread; http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?139456-Front-Battery-not-charging-Alternator-tests-good I discovered my heater...

Oddly, I have the exact same issue. No voltage on brown wire with truck on, and Gen 1 doesn't come on. I was leaning towards a bad Alternator. Thanks so much warthog! Your post was right on. I checked my heater fuse. I found it had melted. Also can you please verify? Is the heater switch...
