Well..... let me say this. I installed the glass H4 headlights on my M1009 and the fuse got real hot and I had to make a relay harness to take the load off the fuse panel. So as I have said before in other posts, yes IMHO you need one. Since that time I have installed a the relay harness in my...

If you have a good core, rebuilt it. If you have the extra cash buy the complete kit it it pretty much gives you a new alternator less the coil/stator and rotor, but those hardly ever go bad. I have rebuilt about 8 of them now, really easy once you get the hang of it. Just remember to double...

Rebuilt my alternators on my M1009 as I was getting flashing Gen 2 light and pulsating headlights. I had a problem before with GEN 1 light staying on and replaced the heater switch and seemed to work for a short time. But driving at night my headlights would flicker/pulse and was really not...

The person with the smart phone is holding it wrong... People please hold you phones correctly when making videos, it is held horizontal not vertical.

All kidding aside, they rebuild those in Saginaw at the old Bell Helicopters facility near the Saginaw Army National guard center. So seeing them in that area is not uncommon, but still always cool to see.

Just make right turns and a u turn and a right turn again, problem solved. Or jump out and hit the walk button. I have actually done the walk button before on my Motorcycle. Here in Texas they are going to these IR camera sensors that "see" traffic and will change the light. This help to...

Thanks and your welcome on the pictures. Touch up is a breeze with flat vehicles like this, if you scuff it just sand it down and paint it with a$1 foam brush. Yes, wheel wells will be painted black and will also try to paint as much of the under side I can get to. It is a long process to...

More progress today painting the brush guard and engine bay black where there was white. Also installed the car stereo and put the dash back together after cleaning it of all the dirt and dust. Getting close to be able to start driving it, hopefully with in the next week. As long as I can get...

Made some progress on it today, painted the front door handles, mirrors and gutters black and installed them. The handles and mirrors I had from a parts CUCV so the chrome handles were not painted. I still need to get three more non-chromes for the rear doors. I also painted the roof and...

I have pulled a trailer with my M1009 from Hooks multiple times staying under 70mph on average and was never run over due to my speed. Granted the speed limit at that time was still 70mph before the recent change, but I found it was more dangerous when I actually got into Dallas area where...

Really, a steering wheel puller is what you call a good tool for pulling a large harmonic balancer? Super price on KD Tools 2291 at ToolTopia.com This tool does not install the balance and you still have to buy the correct M10 - 1.5 bolt to thread into the balancer to pull it on top of the...

Yes, electric fuel pump is the way to go, let me explain why. I found out today that the fuel gauge on my M1031 is not as accurate as I am used to with these trucks. I backed into my driveway that is on an angle of about 5 degrees and it died on me, fuel was on the first line next to empty. So...

I know the OP stated he does not have a welder, but for those that do this tool is very simple and cheap to make. Total cost is about $5 for the parts and 10-20 minutes to make the tool. The only bolt that has to be exact is the M16 x 1.5 bolt, the longer one that is welded can be any bolt that...

Pioneer as it is made in Australia and better quality. This is the one I have used four times now in four CUCV trucks. I change them anytime I get a CUCV with a Pioneer.

They seem to never have that tool in stock, I think they should give me a free one for all the free press from my YouTube video, ;-):lol::-) Please see my video, it shows how to use this tool and the method of removing a broken tip. The broken tip part starts at 2:50, it is better to use a...

LOL, I did not bid on that one as it was too far away from me. I was considering that one but decided the one in Fort Worth was closer and newer. You got that for a good price and is a Chevy so it has the correct grille and lights.

Thanks, it is a fun project. The other trucks were just Chevy pickups and I used the same roller method. With Rustolhum you mix it with about 10% with mineral sprints, this helps to flow the the paint to give it a spayed on look. It is similar to home paint method, but Rustolhum requires more...

Added an old Federal Signal Visibar on my M1031 over the cab. Light works great and have red/blue and amber domes for it. I could give it a MP look or standard amber for convoys and maintenance duty. I do need to do something about the chrome, but I do not want to paint it as it would hurt the...
