I picked this carrier up at the wrecking yard some months ago. I was looking for one for a few months and finally found this one on a Nissan pathfinder. It was attached to a heavy duty bumper. Since the M1009 does not have one, I added one. First I removed the tow ring bars (3 bolts). I bought...

While I was trouble shooting my starter relay issue, I opened the GP control card case to clean the contacts. I sprayed the contacts that grab the card; but felt they needed better cleaning than Electrical contact cleaner spray could provide from one angle. Here is what I did: My daughters are...

I have been reading all related threads about NO START conditions due to: Bad Starter/Solenoid. Bad Starter relays Bad Glow Plug Relay Bad Glow Plug modules I keep getting two things out of them: 1. People describe hearing a "cooking, "sizzling, burning sound, akin to bacon frying before...

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...

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...

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...

I saw a survival show a few weeks ago about some guy in the outback with his daughter on a fishing trip. He had a Rover or something and carried three spare, really 3! Well it would not be a survival story without blowing tires like they were birthday candles, so one after another, he runs out...

Found the latest on these tire/wheels the military is working (collaborating) on. Look cool; but they seem like the balance will go immediately when the pick up mud?

Does anyone know what the right side bumper marking means: left side right side <<<<<Does this look like it is complete? 63-RSC HQ-101 I think I have discovered the possible meaning of the left side markings: 63rd Regional Support...

I read some threads here from members that have replaced the solenoid on their 28MT starters- they hassled getting it out; but didn't say how hey got it back in- onto the little fork in the starter housing. Someone who knows please post a solution. I was able to rotate and pull the old one out...

And, does leaving the key switched to the ON position- as if listening to the radio flat burn up the gowplugs. I let my daughter take my truck to school while hers was down and didn't think to warn her not to do that.

Can the solenoid on a gear reduction starter be opened and serviced? I think I figured out what is the problem with my starter. The starter relay mod clicks. but the starter does not spin up on the vehicle. When I remove the starter and bridge the "S" bolt to the battery cable bolt with a...

I like the look of the 6TL battery; but I would rather drive than admire a dead battery. If there is no great replacement for a 6TL I am looking at options: The Red Top Optima 34/78 has 800 CCA / 1000 CA is this enough? I don't have a winch or large electronics on-board.

CUCV yell ARMY when people open the door or cup their hands against the window and look inside? What have you added to yours?

I pulled my starter- the new Gear reduction 24 volt I bought 2 weeks ago to replace my bad Direct Drive model. After installing it, I find that it clicks; but does not seem to spin. I tested all wiring and finally pulled the starter out. I clamped it in my vice and gave it 24volts at the battery...

Bushings cracked, Damper (shock) in place. Some rubber tubing to change and some leaking fluids to trace back- one looks like the power steering pump pressure hose. Any other thing "down here" I should look closely at and replace before it goes? I am still looking for suggestions on my NO...

I just finished, sorta, putting in my new starter. The old one was a Direct drive. I installed a new gear Reduction starter and the correct brace. I just finished checking all the wires and bolts. Then I went to reattach the battery. As soon as I slid the Positive (NEG still disconnected) cable...

with the stock CUCV pintle? I see some pintles in Northerns Catalog with a "BALL" lower jaw. Not really planning on towing. Just like to have a plan in case. ;-)

I am looking at replacing the front steering stabilizer. Looks like an oem in place. Anyone have any nuggets to pass on? I was looking at KYB stock replacement, anyone like something better? Q: Do I buy the same one as for the K5 Civvy? Or bump it up?

The other day I had that starter malady that is generally solved with a couple of bangs from a hammer: I drove to pick someone up. Turned the M1009 off and 5 minutes later; went to restart the engine. I got lights; but no crank. I've had this happen on other GMs so I crawled under with a tire...
