Tried steps 6 - 10 and floored accelerator. Now I'm getting a fast clicking noise when I turn the ignition key.

Just replaced my fuel filter. Now the engine will crank, but not turn over. These are the steps I followed: 1. Remove old filter 2. Install new filter 3. Open fuel tank cap 4. Open vent valve 5. Disconnect solinoid wire 6. Crank until clear fuel comes out of tube from vent plug. 7. Closed...

I would use one keyed to the standard CUCV ignition key.

Is that CARC paint or a different type? I didn't think authentic CARC paint was supposed to "pop" like that.

Cleaned the engine bay top to bottom and dressed all hoses. Interior got a nice vacuuming. Tires cleaned. Car show this weekend!

Looks good - does it run?

Nope - there was a big push by the WI DOT to ban military vehicles because they did not meet DOT standards (according to WIDOT). It took over a year for everything to play out and luckily there was enough feedback from MV owners that WIDOT caved and allows MV's to be owned and registered. It...

Military vehicles are OK to own with regular plates or with specialty "military vehicle" plates. They are OK to title, drive, and paint whatever color in WI. My M1009 is painted in 3 color woodland and has a regular auto plate - no mileage or use restrictions. The title shows "Military" under...

Check Ebay for spare tire mounting kits. They will often have very clear and detailed pictures.

Eh. I own registered machine guns, registered suppressors, and registered destructive devices. The "owns a military vehicle" list is the one I worry LEAST about.

I have taken mine to a few local car shows. It's always a hit, mostly because I let kids climb in it to have their pictures taken. My biggest frustration are the people that think it's a painted Blazer. I really need a sign for it so people know that it's a legit military vehicle - something...

I'm curious what the blue book was vs what it is worth on the market? I have collector insurance, so I don't drive it around a lot, but I know I'll be able to buy another one in the same or better condition.

Did you have regular insurance or collector car insurance?

Stock M1009. I keep it at 55. But I'm never in a hurry to get anywhere.

Spent the day getting her all ready for the season opener car show! All washed clean. New oil, fuel, and air filter. Rotated tires and touched up a few spots that the paint was wearing a bit thin.

Any chance someone still has these or something updated? Looking for a window sign for this weekend.

I just bought a fully restored M1009 for $8,500. 34,000 miles, no rust, no body filler, fresh CARC paint, new tires, new interior, new engine. All photo documented and receipts for everything all the way back to when it was surplussed from the WI Army National Guard. I think you might be asking...

I'll check the fuse and the grounds tomorrow. I did look in the sockets and all the tabs seemed OK. Might be something I couldn't see though.

The turn signals are now always on whenever the service lights are on and the main headlights are engaged. I did search for similar threads, and have done the following: Replaced all turn signal bulbs - front and back. Cleaned all contacts front and back. Both front and back turn signal...
