    Led lights

    That will work. My Kubota had a 2 prong flasher and I converted it to all LED and that is the type of flashers added to keep everything working as designed.

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    It has been since November that I ran the M1028 I sat in it and turned the key waited and it fired right up. I am convinced that the late 1986 -1987 model trucks had a galvanized floor and rockers on them. This truck just seems to stay the way it was for the past 20 years. It sits outside in...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    It was a joke. I wouldn't waste my time or money to modify a CUCV in such a foolish way. I wouldn't do it to any vehicle. I do not like green eggs and ham I do not like them Sam I am.

    Gen 1

    That won't matter either way. I never dove into alternators real deep. My trucks showed 14.2 on the front battery and I think about 28.4 on the rear battery. I could be wrong, but I think you are using the wrong contacts to measure the voltage. Good Luck.

    Gen 1

    I have a local shop rebuild my alternators and starters. Auto Electric Services | Leidy Repair | Lebanon, PA I could buy 2 new alternators and have them converted to isolated ground for $350. I tried the $15. way and it was a failure. There is more to rebuilding anything mechanical then...

    Gen 1

    I heard you can use a stock alternator in Gen 1 position but NOT Genn2 position. Never done it but I heard it works. Makes sense and sounds logical

    Cab leaking

    Yes, these old trucks need some TLC and adjustments. The doors may not be closing tightly, and the seals are not compressed enough to seal the water out. And the trucks do not have a drip gutter like the civilian counterparts so that adds to the problem when the water must run down the inner...

    Brake/marker lights don't work

    They will appear good. You need to probe them inserts and fuses with a test light.

    Brake/marker lights don't work

    Check the fuse area on the right side midway up is a 30 amp that gets heated up. That power leg serves the brake lights also. Common issue.

    Can't get hood or tail gate to open help

    Push in on the rear gate when opening it. It was designed to be pushed in on it. Imagine a child sitting in the back putting the handle and the gate falling open. Safety design. And using WD 40 is like peeing on it. Wet and slippery for a few minutes and gone. Good old squirt can with oil or...

    Can I use gasser downpipes?

    I had and M1009 that had an exhaust on it from a 305 /350 Blazer . The tailpipes looked like milkshake straws , but it worked. It was free and it was stainless steel front to back. Came off a state blazer that had a blown engine. Very rusty truck and the engine was bad before the exhaust was put...

    I was doing some cleaning out of my basement and came across these glow plug cards. Is there anyone that does repairs of the circuit cards? It may be that 2 of the 3 are fine. I only see 1 burnt resistor but would rather know they are good before assuming they are good.

    Parking brake stuck

    Dicoonect them from the main cable and see if they are releasing. There is nothing that is serviceable on a brake cable. They either move smoothly or they don’t and the entire cable assembly needs replaced.

    Parking brake stuck

    I am guessing here but what do the brake cables look like? I would opt to replace the brake cables and start new. Good Luck.

    6.2 M1009 making oil

    I can't see it from here. But it is NOT making oil. Leaking fuel into the oil is correct. Good Luck.
