    Considering a Pinzgauer... nervous

    That's one way to warp it. What carb issues did you develop? His were leaking out of here-where I circled. He said he tightened it up but they're still leaking. He said that they leaked somewhere else and this current leak is new.

    Considering a Pinzgauer... nervous

    I didn't think about the Exec I or II axles. I read about it, but I thought that Exec II was aftermarket. I was more concerned with ending up with something like this: *photos by Expedition Imports I didn't know that some Pinzgauers were imported with Exec II already in them. I had read...

    Considering a Pinzgauer... nervous

    Hey all. For a couple years or so, I've somewhat coveted the idea of having a Pinzgauer. I currently own a M1008 and enjoy it greatly. I always peeped at auctions online for the random postings of a Pinz here and there, but most of those seem to be less than complete-and sourcing through an...

    Voltmeter question???

    That half-watt is too low, and your resistance is too high. I found, with my volt gauge, that at almost exactly 300 ohms (3x100 ohm in series), 1 watt a piece- I measured exactly HALF of what I was getting from the high alternator. You could also put in a pot instead of the resistors and...

    Overcharging randomly

    Well. Replaced alternator. No light. Not even a flick er. Generator gauge stays near the top of the green. Doesn't move. All is well.

    Overcharging randomly

    Honestly, because the price of stock units scared me away. I guess I could have rebuilt it. I rebuilt the passenger side one and it works great. Hindsight is 20/20 I ought to look for a stock unit that I can rebuild on the cheap. I don't trust these AZ alts anymore.

    Overcharging randomly

    I have replaced the batteries, the issue still happens. I have replaced the connectors on the driver's side alternator-the one that gets the strange readings. Same issue. My next step is to pull out the alternator and swap it for another one. I had the DL7157 already in the truck. This is...

    Overcharging randomly

    Hello all, My m1008 has been overcharging intermittently lately. Every time I drive it, I notice my blower motor blow harder, sometimes my lights and gauges brighten when driving at night. Up until recently, my amp gauge wasn't working. I soldered 3 1W 100 ohm resistors in series and now it...

    Newbie from LaGrange Oh

    I'm a stone's throw from you. I live in Sheffield Lake and work in Elyria. In fact, I have to travel to "L.A. Grange" (lol) a couple times a month for my job. Welcome. Bobbed deuces are sexy.

    Plastic draincock STRIPPED!! FUEL LEAK!

    Hello SS! I have an issue with my M1008. I unscrewed the plastic draincock just a little bit some time back to bleed the filter a bit due to a WIF light. I noticed that when I went to screw it in, it would just keep spinning. It wouldn't tighten much. I managed to get it to turn in...

    Camping in the back of a 1008

    I wish I had kept the cap it came it and just reconditioned it. I could have knocked the dents out of it and put lexan in the window ports. Maybe covered the whole thing with vinyl. Dang.

    Camping in the back of a 1008

    That drawing is fantastic. I also made one a long time ago about how me and Tom Cruise were going to escape the destruction of the earth in December 2012... This was my email to TomCruise@gmail.com Dear Tom Cruise, My buddy Travis and I have been thinking about the end of the world and...

    Camping in the back of a 1008

    Hello, I know it seems kind of dumb, but I am curious to know whether or not any of you have camped in the back of your M1008s. I have a 20ft tarp that I was planning on making a pup tent over the bed of my truck with. It wouldn't have a steep slope, it would be looped out, back up, and down...

    WWI era Swiss Mule Cart

    Just think of what that cart has seen... aside from the business end of a mule... The horrors. ****, imagine what a LOT of the MVs we proudly own could've seen-figuratively of course. I always think of that stuff. The woman thinks I'm dumb when it makes me so proud to have an M1008. She...

    What do your neighbors and other drivers think of your CUCV

    I keep my truck parked in a pretty bad area. I'm always afraid someone is going to take a heat-wrench and steal my axles or vandalize it. I'm sure my tailgate will get stolen someday. Someone broke my wing window trying to get in the truck, once they realized my steering wheel was chained...
