Remain Calm. All is well. You only need to be 1% smarter than the object you are working on to be victorious. Now getting it back on properly will be the true test and challenge. You got this. Good Luck.

Hey looking at the gear selector. I would brush a little grease down in the metal area where the orange needle slides and on the pivot point where the cable travels on the edge of the cluster housing. Wheel bearing grease or white lithium. But some grease. And take your time on the dimmer...

I would use that starter. I had to roll over and zoom on the starter to see if it was 24 Volt. It is. Yes I think that is a good deal. I wish I could get $59. for my core starters. Most times I just scrap them. I mean how many cores does a guy need? Take Care and Good Luck. Your part should be...

Could be many things. Is the relay under the radio plate in place? The voltmeter will not effect battery charge rate. Does the voltmeter have voltage in the wire leading to the plug connector? Check all these. You can source a new 24 volt meter on line. Get one that the outer ring is not a...

So what you are telling me is that they do not have spring companies in Germany? I find that hard to imagine. The spring companies I have used here are local and make springs to specs in a few days or sooner. I can walk in the front door unannounced and hand them a U bolt and get one made any...

Why not replace all the leaf springs. Painting them will not restore them. It will make them look pretty. You can replace all 4 sets for about $800. in parts. It makes a world of difference. Like a new truck again. Trust me on this I have done it on several CUCV's of different variants. Stock...

If I were replacing the leaf springs I would support the vehicle in the center just to the front of the rea axle and to the rear of the front axle. Make sure it is blocked and secure. Also maybe doing 1 side at a time would be much safer. Good Luck. Replace the U bolts with new ones and the...

Charging system help???? | SteelSoldiers

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise. The M1009 was dropped off at the transmission shop along with the new center carrier for the rear differential. I glued the sash on the clear glass today after work and painted the steel mushrooms for the cab mounts on my Little Red Riding Hood project M1009...

If it were me. And it is NOT. I would leave the key in place. Now that is just me. Do as you wish. The repaired power steering bracket and some other goodies are on the way to you. It is all fixed and ready to be installed. Good Luck.

No that is not off the M1009. That is from a members here. He mailed it to me to repair. Remain calm all is well. :) I was texting you and the battery went dead on my phone. I still have the flip phone. Hasn't failed me yet. I am not the least offended about the rear window. I have the clear one...

It was a good day. I was up bright and early and had a few minutes to do some work while on break. Before. After. Before. After. Before. After. I will send a few M10 Nylock nuts along to use in the upper pivot point. Also a grade 8 3/8" flat would help a lot on the slide adjustment...

You can replace all 6 steering link parts for about $250. -$300. use the old tie rod and drag link as a measure to get you 95% aligned and go from there. if you are like me I always have use for the heavy 1" round bar from the long front tie rod. I bought all my tie rods, adjusting sleeves from...

The Power Steering bracket is repaired. I added a gusset to the upper pivot point and I hung it in final paint. It is currently drying in the sun. I will get pictures later today for the critique's to critique. I think it looks OEM good. I ask a fab shop they said it would not be cost effective...

Trans cooler lines. I think all is well. I pulled trailers with my M1009 in stock form. Not the best gears for trailer pulling but nonetheless I did it for 20 years. Heavy loads and tow barred CUCV trucks and other M1009's from far south to PA. I never had a transmission issue. I had my...

I want to make a repair on this CUCV power steering bracket. It is in really bad shape but like most I have seen it has been run a long time in this condition. This is the lower adjustment slot. The adjustment nut press's the bracket onto the hex head of the stud. I use a flat washer behind...

I set the glass out on my door stand and prepared the channel with the sealer adhesive. I placed the sash on the edge of the glass and aligned the ends. using bar clamps I locked then into position. I was able to tap and get the sash perfectly on the glass. I used finger clamps and squeezed...

From left to right it was the Ugly, the Bad, the Good. All were top notch completely stock running gear and electrical systems. I drove them a combined 175k miles. As far as I know they are all still running. The ugly was a bit ugly body wise but 100% other wise. I abused the ugly very hard off...
