    M1009 basket case vacuum system

    So your vacuum goes from negative 20 to negative 5 hg? Bouncing? Where are they checking for vacuum at? The vacuum system is extremely basic on these...do they have the vacuum lines hooked up right on the throttle valve? Have them swap it around and see if they're on the wrong connections...

    MEP-803A wiring to a 50 amp plug (several questions)

    There's a bar on the lugs you have to remove...can't remember which one they're on now but it's extremely obvious when you look at the lugs...I think it's on the bottom 2?? I'm not sure what code is where you're at so have the electrician do that part. Oh and this machine will produce a ton of...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    So today was a hot one for January got to 49 degrees. Kiddo went outside and found a good bit of diesel leaking out the back! We found the diesel heater steel line had cracked and with the fuel expansion it found its way out there! Pretty good spot too. Found it quick with a shot of compressor...

    MEP-803A wiring to a 50 amp plug (several questions)

    One thing to consider is the genset will do 52 amps at 220 so since it can go over that by several amps you might want to look at getting a bigger plug or hard wire it to the house from the genset with bigger wire...that depends on how far away the gen is from the house on how big of wire you'll...

    M1008 buzzing bed

    Yeah that's nuts plus you don't really need all the tech that it provides...I'll look through some of my surplus guys and see if they have any.

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    I've bought several sets of tires for at least 6 different cars and trucks I own or past on now from treadwright. I have had 0 problems with any of them...put them on the blazer and the truck too. They ship very fast with no extra charges. I like that they have 3 different types of each to...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I'm surprised that they have the parts in stock for that!! Imagine how many they need just by looking at that recall number. Must be a fun job too at that much hour billed vs 2wd and 4wd! I'll pass on that warranty work! Have fun with the new old daily driver.

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    I didn't take it apart yet, the 12 volt side did get key start power and the responding side did not close so the 12 volt side failed which is crazy weird. The relay was barely a year old and only really used the last 4 months!! The higher voltage while running is only a volt or so and...

    M1008 buzzing bed

    My exhaust buzzes pretty bad probably because it's rusted inside but the bed sides will buzz some if the idle hits a certain speed on mine too but it's mostly the muffler on mine. As far as the balancer goes you are right that the gm replacement is not around right now and not sure if it will...

    CUCV M1009: Is it 3 OR 4 Outlets for Fuel Tank Sending Unit??

    I'd try one thing before replacing it is the strap ground that connects to the sending unit to the frame...those like to rust up on both ends...the one on the frame is pretty easy to get to the one on the sender not so much...can do a voltage drop on the wire though and see if it's ok. You can...

    Mep 802A Fuel Filter leaking.

    The fees do drive me nuts sometimes...I looked at what they're doing out here in Pa and around 1200 to 2500 with or without a trailer is about average with under 500 hours...they get tons here though so I think they don't bring as much but I could be wrong on that. I only live 45 miles from the...

    M1008 Starter problems

    I use a long screwdriver or a prybar and cup the end with my hand to make a speaker that finds all kinds of noises especially when you hit a fan blade or belt...haven't lost any parts off me yet doing that but probably will someday. As far as the belt goes if the adjusting loop is maxed out...

    Another CUCV Alternator question

    That's great news! So the low gen 1 light was from the alternator...interesting. Yes batteries are one expensive part for these since they need to be big and high ca...not sure if you're around a military base but there are battery distributors near them that stock the 6tm battery if you can...

    NOCO Charger Question - MEP-803A w/Optima Red Tops

    looking at the picture above repair mode is 1.5 amps....get it on the charge mode of 7.2 amps and see if that brings it up...1.5 amps is just a float charge.
