I suppose it would be possible (but not easy) to have a high enough voltage such that the plugs would fail in the short time they cycle on, mostly depending on the type and condition of the glow plugs. The idea is that the GP module cycling when the voltage is high will prevent damage to the...

No; the voltage to the plugs is determined by the resistor bank, plug resistance, and battery voltage. The GP module has no way to 'know' what the voltage will be until it closes the relay and completes the circuit.

I was going to say it should be possible; but now that I've looked around some I am not so sure. The vacuum-actuated fuel cutoff on my other diesel works by closing a mechanical valve in the injection pump - not something you could retrofit to a 6.2 easily.

If I recall correctly, a 6.5 turbo will NOT go into a CUCV without some changes to the firewall.

I had my flywheel replaced after getting the wrong starter; turns out a 12V starter will work... for a short while. After a week or so it broke a bunch of teeth off the flywheel. I replaced the starter and kept it going for a while. Eventually I stopped somewhere and the spot with no teeth...

My 1009 has started without a block heater down to around 0F. It doesn't get much colder than that down here. But wow is it noisy when it's cold! Like rolling downhill in a metal trash can full of ball bearings!

x2 on the altitude + cold causing your problems. Advance the pump some and see if that helps, but know that you're not going to see numbers like you did at sea level, unless you put a turbo on it. You might run a leakdown test to see if you've got truly excessive blowby past the rings...

The first piece of advice I got is still the best; "If it's rubber replace it, if it's electrical clean it!" Sounds like a battery issue, but it could be in the starter solenoid or the relay. Note that it is _possible_ to get replacement 24volt parts at the regular shops, but not easy. I had...

Mark me down as interested in the 'product improved' replacement. My rear window regulator failed after I replaced the seals on the tailgate. I can't even get it out at the moment, where it was when it failed, one of the arms is right over the bolts holding it on. I've been thinking about...

The pic I posted is part of page 10-86 in the -20 (PDF page numbers may differ between versions of the file, the ones on the pages themselves are more certain.) IIRC, and it's been a while, that handle on the rear of the seat comes up and forward. I had to lube the points in the floor...

Welcome to SS! On my M1009 the back seat didn't want to come out until I got some penetrating lubricant in the attachment points and used a short pry bar on it. After that I was able to clear out a bunch of rust and crud from the two holes where the seat grabs onto the floor. I'm attaching a...

The first time I did my front wheel bearings, I noticed that all the screws holding the hub on were missing on one side, and it was being held in place with a truly excessive amount of silicone sealant. It could be a couple coats of CARC paint holding it on there. Also, the 'remaining screw'...

I think I paid $250 for mine with shipping, but it was complete except for the TMs. Now I only have the problem that apparently the STE/ICE connector in my M1009 doesn't work. I can power the STE/ICE off the battery clamps, but I get nothing when hooked up to the connector.

I would love to pick up a turbo 6.5 to drop into my M1009. So far I have had no luck with the auctions. Doesn't help that most of them are 700+ miles away. Most of what's coming out looks like 6.2s and NA 6.5s from early-generation HMMWVs. Still useful for parts if your CUCV engine dies, or...

Mine's currently blocked in place with some pieces of wood; when I get the funds I'm going to look for an electric replacement.

None from the factory that I've ever seen; that was a Ford Bronco thing. I'm sure there were aftermarket addons along those lines.

Hope it finds a good home; mine, if I can find my other credit card.... Ah, who am I kidding?

I've seen impact wrenches that plug into a 24V NATO slave socket. They come up on ePay once in a blue moon. I have also seen cleaning kits intended for the HMMWV that would work on a CUCV. There is a motorized brush in there. If I ever get the money and time, I have the intention to add an...

You won't need a DC-DC converter; just tap the 12V half of the system. Only the starter and GPs run off 24V, and those are isolated via relays. Depending on how much ooomph you want out of your stereo, you may need to look at an upgraded alternator. And I hate to be the one to say it, but...

Been reading this and other related threads for info on fixing my broken crank. I made the mistake of cranking too hard when the weather was cold; apparently the window was frozen in place. So, if the LMC replacement parts don't hold up as well as OEM, am I better off scrounging junkyards...
