I was doing some repairs to a 1984 M1028 truck several months ago for a guy and he wanted a new tail gate. I offered to sell him one of my new ones in the box and he declined. He said he can buy them from LMC genuine GM for 1/2 that price. I begged to differ and left him go. I told him to call...

Quick question. Mr Rusty has lost most of the brake heat / dust shields on the front brake rotors. Do they really need to be there? I don't think so but wanted to hear any real reason why they would be required. Other then protecting the back side of the rotor from a splash of mud and acting as...

I was at a scrap yard and saw this Detroit diesel engine and Allison transmission. I could put it in my M1009 :) Just asking? I was asked to buy it and turned it down. I have no idea what it is and what it would be worth. Any ideas?

The 1984 M1009 VooDOO is down and out. This is what big oversize tires and plowing snow can do to a vehicle that has been used off road only for the past 17 years. I had a lot of 33" tires and used them over the years. I run the used tires till they are shot and then put more used ones on. I am...

What is this grille guard from? I got it from a scrap dealer and was not sure what it fit. I hauled it home on the M1009 and it gave me an idea for a rear brush guard. I think it may be HMMWV. It looks easy to attach to the M1009 and make it drop to use the rear gate.

Mr Crusty is Mr. Rusty's younger cousin. He is also an M1028 that has been severely abused for the past 10 years. And it was my son that did the abusing. It has been sitting in the back ground on several of my threads. Well it is being worked on now. I repainted this truck like new in 2006. And...

Last week I had a long time customer contact me about his 1985 M1028. It was running poorly and had an arms length list of issues. Well let me tell you it has some issues. It is very rusty to say the least. Nothing that can't be fixed but this is one of the worst ones I ever saw. He dropped it...

I am asking for any pros and cons on using hydraulic line for the transmission cooler lines. I have all my power train out of my m1009 Mule and am in the process of cleaning it up , painting and reassembling it. I have the metal lines out and painted they have rubbed themselves thin at a few...

I have a M1028 truck on my lot that the owner had towed here and wants me to put an exterior engine oil cooler /transmission cooler on it. He has it all disconnected and the parts are in the bed. I was wondering what size the fittings were that went into the block , off the rubber lines and...

I was at a scrap sale and bought this trailer. I had to sneak these pictures and that is all I could take. deputy Dog was on patrol and I was told no picture taking after I had taken these 3. The trailer was all aluminum and the shocks and e brake cables were smashed by a loader. I suspect the...

Does anyone know if the replacement brake components that you buy are compatible with DOT 5 Silicone brake fluid? I have had mixed results. On some units the master cylinders / wheel cylinders last with out incident. On others they leak with in a few months to a year. Does the material inside...

I have had a few issues over the years with squealing belts on my CUCV's alternators . I made a slight change to one bolt so I can adjust the belt with one wrench and the stock tire iron. Easy as pie. I used a discarded CUCV starter bolt (M10) and an M10 flange nut. It makes the job easier...

I have had this CUCV brush guard attachment in my barn for many years. It was on an M1028 that I bought at DRMO Mechanicsburg back in 2000. I took it off and have been storing it ever since. Today I was spraying some CARC 383 green paint and was done with my parts painting. I had some left in...

During the Rausch Creek fiasco this weekend I had some fuel issues with my M1009. After a new injection pump, lift pump and fuel filter. It turns out the fuel line was rubbed thru at the fuel pump. Any way that is repeat information that I posted in another thread. I got towed back to camp...

I have an 86 CUCV M1009 that just started acting up. Yesterday it was idling and just shut off with out warning. I tried to start it it acted like it was out of fuel. My son bleed the fuel filter and air came out. Then we started it and it ran fine. Today I got on I81 and I said this is lacking...

I have had a 1986 M1009 sitting in my bad yard wrecked since November 2007. I had taken it apart back then and pulled all the wreckage from the vehicle. Upon discovering the exstensive frame damage I parked it in the barn. But after a few years it was in the way and ended up parked out under the...

I received a phone call from a local guy that bought a truck from me back in November 1996. I had seen the truck and done work on it several times over the years. The last time anything major was a complete CARC paint job during the summer of 1999. I sold him the truck with 16 K miles on it and...

I have been installing quad shocks on the front axle of every M1009 that I have and had in the past. I have been slowed from the installation the last few years because of lack of parts. I think LMC makes one side but not the other. I think it makes a difference with the front end bounce off...

I was digging around in my parts cabinet today and came across some paperwork that came with my 1984 M1009/The Mule when I bought it. It is the U.S. Army Equipment Record Folder. And in the folder is the original DD form issue release/receipt document for the M1009 Mule. It shows the...

I have this transfer case in my collection for the past 20 years. I never got rid of it because I always thought it was an NP 205. I have pictures of it. Can someone identify it from pictures? I had a 1975 K10 pickup that had a 350 4 bolt main 4 bbl carb. It was a Custom 10 and as plain as you...
