    New M101A2 in Pearland, TX

    Yes you were talking to the wrong guy. If anyone in these rural areas of Texas have questions about titling vehicles/trailers, ALWAYS call Austin or the main city office in like Dallas/Fort worth or Houston. I had a friend almost get screwed out of a few hundred dollars because the small county...

    New M101A2 in Pearland, TX

    Welcome, nice trailer!! You do not need a VIN in Texas, register it as a home made trailer and use the Serial Number on the data plate and manufacture company with model year. I have titled multiple M101A2 trailers with just that information in Texas. There is no need to waste time and money...

    Have you converted to 12 volt?

    Front and negative post on the rear battery. Or the 12v buss on the firewall, but do not over load this as it is for the entire trucks 12v system. .

    Have you converted to 12 volt?

    You do not have a CUCV looking at your avatar, the CUCV in native 12v and the entire truck is 12v with only the Starter being 24v. Expect for the M1010, the heater and A/C unit are also 24v, but the truck is still 12v.

    Have you converted to 12 volt?

    There is no reason to convert to 12v to add 12v accessories. The only CUCV that I would agree to convert to 12v is a M1010 if one does not plan to use the heater or A/C units that run on 24v. The M1010 has a known issue with the DUVAC failing. Any other CUCV there is no benefit IMHO to convert...

    Cab Swap Guidance - M1028

    I read this and was thinking that this was the incident from several years ago and checked your old post and see it is. That was like 5 years ago and interesting that you are now getting to fixing it. Hope it goes well and I am sure you will find the help you need.

    New m1009 Floors via extreeme liner

    Those are seat brackets for the civilian K5, not sure why it would have those from the factory. May have been an in error or near the end of a run and those were available. I had an 86 and they were the same as my 84 M1009 with the adjustable sliding brackets. I do have a set of those brackets...

    Is this normal.

    Have you installed any aftermarket headlights, like H4 composite w/ glass housings? You HAVE to use a relay harness with the H4 headlights or that exact thing will happen to your fuse block.

    M1009 charging issue

    Roboski, you said on the phone you wanted a picture of the GP relay so you can put the wires in the correct spot. I looked at the picture you posted and the one orange wire should be joined with the other orange wire. The red from the resistor block or bypassed 12v should be alone on the top...

    Police Dept. HMMWV

    Looks like there is a roof mounted one that you can make out in a few of the pictures just behind the lightbar. I am sure that would supply the whole cabin area including he attack puppies. It is a very nice HMMWV, I know allot of departments are getting them from the government as of lately.

    M1009 charging issue

    I am guessing that is the case looking at those pictures, the small terminal is grounded to the base and this is your charging problem. When you replace the relay with the correct one you may find that the GP card is bad, a transistor would be blown. You will know the GP card is bad because the...

    M1009 charging issue

    That is a much better price at $40 over what I pay here for them. They are a direct fit, just install them like this. You will need to relocate the hold down blots, spray them with WD40 or other and let it set for a while before you remove the bolts.

    M1009 charging issue

    Hi James, wish you were close or I would just come out there and take a look at it. It can be many things, but did you put new batteries in it? You can get recycled 31 series batteries from Interstate for about $60 each. I use those on all my trucks when they need to be replaced. If the...

    M747 destroyed by crooks

    I agree, in most states you could get at least $5000 in civil court and some states are more. Also if he does not show up to the trial in many states it is an automatic win. There is also enough evidence to show he did it, so even if he was able to be in court the judge would rule to the...

    Another M1009 Recovery

    Glad to hear it has gone to a good home and will be proudly displayed at shows and parades. Once it is painted it will look even better and have that new look. I was told the shocks were replaced by the county that owned it, but I wanted to be sure they were OK. I got a great deal on them at...

    Rush hour traffic..(Beware attempt at humor)

    Falling Down is a great movie and one of my favorite Micheal Douglas movies of all time. This is local to me in Fort worth, I have seen this a few times before. I thought I had a picture of it, but I cannot find one.

    $3500 M1008s??

    To answer your question, no it is not allowed to post an ad from CL that is not your own. I would suggest reviewing the site rules. Now if I still had my 86 M1009 for sale I could list my ad from CL, but since it has been sold there is no add to post as an example.

    $3500 M1008s??

    WHAT???? :shock::shock::shock::shock: If a ratty looking M1009 went for that much then I really did ask way too little for my 86 M1009 I just sold. I mean really, $8200 for something that you will likely have to spend even more on to fix those little things that add up. Sure it ran and was seen...

    Who here has taken their CUCV to the dunes?

    Only the M1031 and M1028A1 have a NP205, or any CUCV with the PTO as it maybe a M1028A2/3 as well. All others have the same NP208.
