    Fresh perspective please.

    mistaken1, The red wire at the starter relay is giving 24-25 volts. The purple wire is not getting any juice with the key in the ON position. It actually shows a ground.

    Fresh perspective please.

    I replaced the original starter relay as per the Doghead mod. I just tested a few things: The battery cable is getting 24v at the starter solenoid. The Starter relay is getting 24v. No power is coming from the "purple" post on the starter relay whether the key is in the ON or OFF position...

    Fresh perspective please.

    I have been working on my starter problem for 2 months now. At first I believed it was the starter- pulled it found it was a 12V DD. Replaced it with a new 28MT gear reduction starter. Started right up. On the third startup all I hear is click. I put a new solenoid in because I know I shorted...

    Vent window lock disassembly reasembly

    My M1009 has one origininal, I think. wing window -Black with lock button. The other side has been replaced with an older "Wing"- no lock button. I am actually happy with this arrangement as I have an 73 Chevy C20 pick-up with these wing windows and I have been able to let myself in when I lock...

    transmission doesnt shift

    Check to see if the transmission modulator is connected and the hose is sound. You need to probably post more info on what is happening. Not shifting to 2nd from low? Not going into any gear? Won't move in drive or Reverse?

    M1009 trailer: M416 OR M101XX

    Thanks all for the tips on what to get. I'd like both; but the old lady will have a fit if I show up with two. I am starting my quest for M101A2. ;)

    can an ignition lock be rekeyed to 73Y2 ?

    I see that my ignition can be turned without a key in it sometimes. I know I can get a new ignition lock cylinder for under $20; but I was hoping to keep it stock so I don't have to have two keys, or have to have the door locks rekeyed to match the new cylinder lock. Anyone know where I can get...

    Removable Top Question

    How about making a rope harness that runs from the garage ceiling over a pulley to the four corners of the top (4 strands). A "J" shaped hook attached to the end of each strand "hooks"under each corner of the top. Unbolt the top. Pry up each corner and break the seal. Slip the hook (3/16"x1"...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Clipped the Battery cable lugs and replaced them with 3/8" Flat spade connectors for the new 31 group batteries with the screw down posts. Soldered all and shrink tubing to clean them up. It has been raining here, so I still await a couple of sunnny days to bolt the starter and new solenoid it...

    M1009 trailer: M416 OR M101XX

    I have been looking around to get a trailer and I am getting mixed signals on what would be easier to pull and back-up. I thought the M416 was the better match; but was recently told that the M101A2 was easier to "see over". I don't want to pull around loads of gravel or anything, just a 90 Lb...

    Thanks Mohawk Dave, this is just the reason why all questions should be tolerated even if asked before. Starting Fluid? :shock: you won't find this fix in the TM9.

    Help! Newbie here

    Yeah, eBay has 'em; but I bought a new chrome one for like $12. The whole crank. Sanded it down to the copper plate and scuffed it. Then the whole thing was shot with self-etching primer- like 4-5 coats. Followed with the flat black same number of coats. They take a beating and ever now-and-then...

    m1008 cargo cover and bow Dimensions

    Are you looking for an OEM set or just something reliable to keep your cargo cover in place? I bought mine a few years ago from a guy that had a torched set in his yard. He rewelded and ground them down. The shipping was fair. I got all the parts except for the rail that attaches to the...

    CUCV longevity

    Whatever the reason, I am glad I am able to buy and drive one even all these years later. I wish the HMMWVs would be retired as soon to the public... for any reason. Hey ABN173, I come up to Ft. Lewis every 3-4 months with my dad. We go to the PX and Commissary and class 6 store. I love being...
