First thing is to get the blasted skid plate off. Do that and move on from there. Make getting the skid plate off the goal for a day. Toss all the bolts and use new ones to reinstall. Use 3/8" x 16 1 1/2" bolts and new SAE flat washers. 6 bolts and they can be a PITA. use never-seize when you...

Have you ever removed the fuel tank from this M1009? If not I would definitely be doing that. Many times this is what you will find. A filthy sock and it is sucked shut. Good Luck.

After getting the injection pump off the engine the problem was crystal clear. After setting for 10 years and getting run from time to time the inside of the injection pump was corroded. After my maiden voyage the pump was greeted with high pressure fuel and it loosed all the particulates and...

I started off early this AM and made great progress on solving the issue and getting the resolution started on it's way. The patient was prepped for surgery. Open injection pump surgery. The reason for the thin 15mm tappet wrench is because of this. The locked nut on the stud. I took an...

I will elaborate on this later. The injection pump is off and ready to send to the rebuilder.

After a week on the car crusher I have the time to get the injection pump removed from my M1009 project. I am going to do a picture tutorial for those that may need to do this task. It is very easy and does not require any special tools except a think 15MM open wrench. I will post pictures later...

I was just figuring a plug and play situation. Plug the original switches back on the plugs and shazam. That was all I was saying. I would think there are going to be a lot of combinations in the 2 plugs to get everything working correctly. But continue and Good Luck. Be Safe.

Reaching behind the regulator is one move I would pay to see. It is easy but does require the entire disassembly of the gate regulator and glass assembly. Good Luck. Be Safe and Take Care.

My experience is if the shaft seals are leaking the rest of the pump is in short time to follow. Do it right the first time and change the entire pump or have it rebuilt. I am in the same boat with my M1009 at the moment with a truck I rebuilt from the frame up. It ran and started perfect I took...

Easy. Remove the right side (passengers) Gen 2. alternator and bracket and you can do 90% of it from the top side. Remove everything including the push rod cover. Clean the area really well and the gasket surface. Make sure you have the correct fuel pump. Post a picture of the lever and we can...

Just loosen the 19mm nuts on the delivery nozzles. and crank it over. it should show signs of wet. Give that a try. I just had an injection pump fail in about 2 days from the onset of symptoms. It happens.

Sounds like you need some used replacement switches. I can help if you would like. Trading is great fun.

I don't think even if they did work as designed I would go thru the trouble to change my 3/16" female spades to bullet connectors. I mean another case of why change the design. Just change the glow plugs to the correct ones and move on. Next time when the HMMWV ones aren't available you would be...

Install a Heli coil. M10X 1.5. Works great in CUCV blocks,

I think and am 99.9 % sure that is for the fuel pump on the M1010 model only. Come on. I'm not the only one that knows that. Good Luck and Be Safe. I only know from years of experience.

CUCV 1 gets my vote. The other ones not very resilient to off road use, abuse and hard use. It is just a civilian built Tahoe that was upfitted by GM Military. Good Luck. Be Safe.

Minor set back. I have decided to replace the injection pump. It starts cold every time but it just seems to be stumbling a bit on acceleration. I took it for a short drive and it seems that the pump has a bad seal or 2. It shut off twice at a red light and restarted and smoked badly. I am NOT...

Started out bright and early today. Cleaned a lot of driveway and wanted to get a few things completed. Not to be an over achiever but the time is now. The air filter housing was not treated well after sitting under a bent hood for 10 years. Nothing that a scuff pad and sandpaper couldn't fix...

While multi tasking between several major projects I am also involved in the building of a jaw crusher for crushing stone. blocks. bricks, concrete anything that fits. The Yanmar diesel engine will power this unit. Waiting on the main shaft to get rolling along again. Lots of steel and lots of...
