OK. Dougco here you go. No visuals.

You guys must live in the ghetto. And intentional concealing a VIN is a crimes code in most states. No one would go thru the trouble to try and steal your VIN number. The state and title are issued in your name legally. Happy Thanksgiving to all you Secret Agent men. Or Maybe Enjoy the Day...

What about 1987. I have the odd ball M1028 that is a 1987. It is in a time capsule. It seems to have stopped rusting and just keeps taking a licking and keeps on ticking. This is light work in comparison to the jobs I have accomplished with it. Getting back on subject. Changing the water pump...

You can use the OEM support bracket. Just rock it back and forth against the stud and drill a hole in the center of the mark. Cut the bottom off the bracket and it works good as new. But you can also buy one that was made for it. Either way in place and tight is all that matters. Good Luck with...

I struggle with electrical issues at times. I have been successful doing a process of elimination. I have the privilege of having extra parts on hand. On a fuel gauge first thing I do is check the ground on the sending unit and clean it. Next I use a GM sending unit and plug it in and see if I...

My opinion may matter very little but I think I would check out the heads and head gaskets. I had an M1009 that I ran for 4 years with good heat in city but when I was on the highway the heat was gone. I always had a hard pressurized top radiator hose and never had any oil in the water or water...

I buy the blue or orange fusible link and heat shrink a butt connector in the line at the end. But yes if both ends are cut both ends must be replaced. Good Luck.

If you look closely you can see on the drivers side where someone cut the 10 gauge wire coming out of the resistors. I would remove the resistors and replace the wire and reattach it to the top post of the glow plug relay. The fusible link I am referring to is the poorly crimped yellow eye end...

In my opinion. I would hook it up. I ran these trucks for 27 + years with no adverse conditions or issues. It also helps pull the glow plug voltage from both batteries during cold start and reduces the strain and alternator on the front 12 volt battery and the Gen 1. I bought everyone I ever...

The upper timing cover has to come off anyway. the water pump is bolted in from behind. But I would replace the water manifold crossover gaskets and the rear head cover gaskets along with all the hoses. I did find that the Generator 2 bracket may need a little grinding to get to fit some of the...

Thank you. I think it will all work out. I appreciate the support. I found a lot of parts I am going to put up for grabs and sell.

I am preparing my barn for the winter. I have not been getting a lot done with illness and work. I think I will rest for the winter and hope for progress in the spring. I am going to move the CUCV M1009 forward and cover it till spring. I was out today doing a lot of cleaning and sorting of...

Very nice Dr. Brent. I have seen this before and was going to mention it but I thought you had checked that. The M10 bolts do not fill the holes well in that cover. It is a sloppy fit. I have 2 new sheet metal 2 piece cover for a HMMWV. I put 1 on a CUCV a few years back just for fun and it fit...

Sir he started towing this 8 months ago. I hope he is at his destination at this point. Thank you for your advise. And using a Dodge to tow a Chevrolet is a disgrace to the Bow-Tie Army. I used my M1028 to tow a Ford F350 home once and I got a lot of thumbs up and wise cracks at fueling...

Nothing is infallible. Make sure the starter is not getting stuck in the ring gear. If it requires a shim use one. But as I always say check the cranking amps of the batteries and make sure the support bracket is in place. the twisting of the starter may cause it to get hung up in the ring gear...

Please be sure to repair all fuel leaks no matter how small. Fuel and fire = disaster. I don't think this is an electrical fire. Ahh Could Be. Be Safe. Have a Great Weekend.

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/terminus-m1009.144523/page-6#lg=post-1783917&slide=4 I even added a secondary brush seal and never had issues. Something is amiss here. I can measure opening with or without seals.

I spent time last night getting the hood edge sanded. I was unable to complete my task. I did however use the blower to remove nesting and seeds from the inner structure. A mouse had a very nice home in the rear inner reinforcement of the hood. He was able to store food and nesting in that...

The 2 upper seals should not be preventing the smooth operation of the glass. Unless your gate has the opening bent shut. I would remove the seals and see if the tightness is coming from the side guides. I never seen replacement felts only. Were they something you added after you removed the old...
