I have an 86 M1009 that the generator 1 light is on dimly when idling. It gets brighter with throttle. It is not my truck I am trying to help someone out with it. I replaced the Gen1 to no avail. The replacement rebuilt alternator does the same thing. Another thing is the truck goes all the way...
I have a few pictures of the left motor mount cut thru the cross member of my M1009 mule. These are not the best pictures but that is at a difficult place to get a good picture. I began looking when I noticed a small amount of oil in the snow. I think the rear main seal has begun to leak. It has...
I have a friend that is in another state. He ask me why his wait light keeps coming on while he is driving it. I told him i did not know for sure. Any help. He said it starts fine in the AM. It is in a unheated garage. I never had this happen to me. Any ideas. Please don't say read the TM's. We...
I was outside this afternoon and I thought well before winter breaks I want to add my scrap yard find radiator grille cover. Check it out. I picked up at work a couple years back. It is an Isuzu NPR diesel DEF regeneration unit heat shield. We removed it when we were mounting the body on the...
First off I want to say I do not have a pictures yet. They are coming. I did not have my camera with me during my adventure. I made a scrap pile find while out at a local salvage yard getting a few parts for another project. I went down to the crush pile and I saw an old Chevy Blazer sitting in...
I have a set of 37" 24 bolt HMMWV wheels and tires and want to run them on a 1984 CUCV M1028. It has a 6" lift which I want to remove and get it down to as stock as possible. I know stock height won't work but I need to know what the proper way is to space the wheels out and get this thing to go...
I always see people wanting 700 R transmissions. I have a 1987 Chevrolet K10 4 X 4 pickup on my lot for about 10 years. It is completely stock and has a bad 305 gas engine in it. It has the complete 700R set up in it. Is this something that would be useful to some one? I wanted to convert the...
I am going to take this piece over to my friend at the machine shop and see if he can duplicate it. I will get 10 made and see what price he comes up with. Let me know if that is something anyone here would want. The direct drive starter support brackets he made are very popular and working...
Does anyone know the approximate weight of a set of M1028 axles. These are complete stock axles with only the front lockouts missing. Another member wants to know about an estimate and needs to get a shipping quote from PA to AZ. Any help please. That is a Dana 60 front and a 14 bolt corporate...
I have updated all of my CUCV's to LED B/O lamps and the Crown of Thorns to LED high mount brake lamp . It was inexpensive. And no it is not Mil Spec. Thought I would post it anyway. they are all used Truck Lite LED lamps. The license lamp works well to convert the old 30 year old B/O drive lamp...
I want you to know the pictures you are about to see are real. I had no part in this fiasco. Do not try this at home. It could be hazardous to your health. I stayed in the cab of the M886 and filmed from the drivers seat with the window closed. This was a local man that was walking by and saw us...
What is this towbar for and what is its value. I want to part ways with it. It is NOS and is to heavy for my CUCV.I am interested in selling it and want to advertise it after I know what it is. I know this it is made of steel and it is HEAVY.
Well I know this is going to be hard to believe but I found another military vehicle inside of a barn/barn yard of a local farm. That is 2 in less then 6 months. I have been pretty good at finding things setting. I am like American pickers. People call me whenever they see camouflage or OD. Be...
I am trying to learn to post the pictures. I have help from a young Mexican boy and he is well versed in the use of the internet. He said this is not a very user friendly site to post pictures easily. I will work on it. Someone wants to move the pictures to my previous pictures fine. If not...
Last week while driving on errands I spotted the grille of a CUCV in a barn that was being razed by some Amish men. They were taking the barn apart for the weathered barn wood and the beams to relocate it. The farm was just sold and they were building a development on the land. I stopped and ask...
I have a question about the VCV on the injection pump of my M1009. Last week I had short shifts in drive by 20 MPH. I went to the parts store and replaced all of the vacuum hoses top and bottom. Still the same. I purchased a new modulator at Auto zone and now it shifts late. And it hangs in 2nd...
