An M1008A1 at that. Very Nice.

Make sure the glow plug relay under the hood on the firewall is transferring the power from the top stud to the bottom stud. Sometimes slag or something builds up on the plate that transfers the electric. This can cause issues. next thing I always do is remove the glow plugs and bench test them...

Good Morning. I think I was the delivery driver for your M1009. The first thing I would do is pull the glow plugs and bench test them. I never saw that M1009 until 0600 that AM when I put the tow bar on it and towed it south. I also suspect from what you are telling me is the fuel system has an...

Buy a rebuilt one. Most are warranted for life. Just keep in mind to install it before you turn in the core. Sometimes not all parts are included with the rebuilt booster. Ask me how I know. I had 1 that was missing the push rod and sprag spring retainer. Returned it and had to tear another...

I filled all the drilled holes with button head torx bolts. Some of the nut inserts in the cover brackets were stripped out but I managed to get bolts in all of them. I cut down the inside wall bolts for the cover brackets because they would not fit with the upper flange bolts in place. I...

I was sorting thru a few of my pintle hooks and trying to make a new setup for my M1102 trailer. These 2 have the CUCV swivel pintle hooks and I have a pintle from an M1031 that I want to use or a new one that I have in my stash. Somewhere, somehow, I will get a hitch made out of all these...

Today it was cold and dry. The sun was out, and I could get some work done. I received my new breakaway lever and clip and wanted to get that installed. I had the pintle ring removed and greased the rollers and the pin. This what I started with today. This is how I finished with the breakaway...

A lot. I used my trucks to do this for years, I built this Honda to do the job more efficiently. Now I can get it right to the back door. I used to have to cart it 150 ft from the tailgate to the house. Now onto the patio, onto the cart, and into the basement. Much easier. Now I can drive the...

That socket is for an 1157 bulb. Single Contact Socket With Ground Wire | American Autowire BULB, BAYONET, 3W, REPLACEMENT, AUTO GAGE, QTY. 2 (autometer.com) Check this out. I think it will work.

Just as I was typing the last input I looked out and it was a total white out here. I recalled 6 years ago when the snow squall hit 5 miles from my home on I78. February 13, 2016, I was outside stacking firewood and loading my trucks up when I heard sirens and helicopters coming from all...

Thursday, I received a call from a friend that sold one of his CUCV M1009's. The buyer showed up with a tow dolly and could not fit the wheels on the dolly. He asked if I would be interested in tow barring the CUCV to Virginia for the buyer. He would pay me. I agreed and this morning at 0600 I...

The secret of the engine of a CUCV and no one was able to fix it, so they hired a mechanical engineer with more than 35 years of experience. He carefully inspected the engine from top to bottom. Having seen everything, the engineer lowered the bag and pulled out a small hammer. Gently hit the...

And with all the C clip bashing I wanted to point out the clip rear axles were used in every GM rear wheel drive police car and all the Ford CVPI police cars had the same design. These vehicles are famous for 400-600K service life in the taxi business. The later model Ford C clip design had a...

I bought this M1102 2 weeks ago. I changed the brake fluid and removed the pintle ring to grease and service the brake system. The breakaway lever was a bit rusty and the cable was frayed. I ordered a new breakaway lever and cable assembly from etrailer.com along with the spring clip. I...

I drove 10 bolt axles in Chevrolet trucks and K5 Blazers all my life. I used them long and hard. I had 1 fail because I did not replace the lock bolt. My fault. It was a Sunday evening, late, and I was just tired and didn't have a new bolt. I used blue lock tight and reassembled it quickly. I...

I am currently having title issues with my M1102 trailer. It seems Iron Planet sold the trailer, and the original buyer never transferred the SF97 into a title and the trailer has exchanged hands several times since that. I am working on that. I also bought a Bulldog trailer jack on Facebook...

Thread chaser is needed. I do not recall using an M8 X 1.25 bolt in the body holes. They were always standard bolts I used in them caged nuts.

Are they too big or too small?
