I have a bit of an interest in military tires, but I don't really know much about them.
I use my CUCV for driving around town and a lot of off road (desert dirt, rocks, water crossings, etc). Will military tires provide me any benefit over commercially available all terrain tires?
Can someone...
I was trolling through old posts in the CUCV section and found posts that are dated from the 1960s and 1970s. When I click on those posts it is pretty much just a blank page with no post on it. See attached image. Not really hurting much, but a sign that something funky might be going on with...
Yes I did PM. I now know better lol.
Either way, thanks for the answer CARNAC. When you get thing rolling for 2015 I'll get my info up and I'll be more than happy to make a donation for the service.
Someone on a CUCV Facebook group mentioned someone here being able to trace back CUCV VINs to a specific unit or pull up other history on it. Who can do this? I'm interested to know some history on my M1009
I have a box of AC60s that I'm going to put into my 1009. I'm reading about people bypassing the resistors behind the air cleaner. What is the point of bypassing them? My system seems to work fine right now, I'm swapping out the glows for a maintenance thing.
For those of you who read my other thread, you know that my injector pump is leaking. Sometimes it doesn't leak at all, and other times it looks like the truck is peeing lol. Either way, it has to be fixed. I've been digging all over the internet for the past day or so trying to find information...
errrrr correction. It is not an OEM part. It is Raw Power or some Chinese junk like that.

I started getting a knocking sound from the bell housing area. The cone broke off and is bouncing around in there....and the bolt hole towards the center of the vehicle, there is a big ol crack coming from it going diagonal across the body of the starter. It is about 2 inches long.
It is OEM...
I'm a stubborn one though. I have to try and fail before I farm out the work.
On another note.....my starter cracked in half. Time to find a new starter. I can get a Delco-Remy through Autozone or $103 but it is special order (of course)
So I searched high and low for a seal kit for my inector pump. I finally found one! My pump is a DB2-4126 and needs Standyne part number 24370
Finding Subaru parts is so much easier!
Here is a picture for your enjoyment
There is a support bracket? Not on this one! LOL maybe that is why it had issues to begin with. Thanks for the heads up, I'll see what I can find for it.
I know how to directly upload pictures. I just prefer to use photobucket. I'll do direct upload in the future though. Not a problem at all.

Here are some pictures. A little bit of background about myself first though. I've spent 10+ years...
I don't see how it can be a light because there is no lens on it. Unless it has been painted over by a previous owner?
NOTE : I replied to this thread with some pictures, but it is telling me that the post needs moderator approval. So pictures will be up eventually whenever a mod gets around...
Here are some pictures. A little bit of background about myself first though. I've spent 10+ years building and working on Subarus. I was once into the whole go fast thing but it got old so I started playing off road more and more. I never really liked the Impreza based cars either, I've always...
There actually isn't a bit of rust on the truck. Its amazing! But then again, I'm in Arizona so most vehicles here are rust free.
The blackout light thingy? What is its function? I know how to use the switch on the inside of the cab (I learned that one the hard way lol). Is the thing in the...
Hi guys.
I just picked up a M1009. This is my first one. Its my first diesel vehicle for that matter. Its in great shape, however the IP is leaking on it. Are there seal kits available for the IPs? Can someone point me in the right direction?
Also, What are the two things that are in the...
