unbolting the top part can lead to snapped off screws, since they havent been off since it was made, i had the snapping issue when i swapped my bed.

thats from lousy prep. for carc to stick well the surface needs to be oil free.

Not that bad. What i did was to put the rear support on first and slide the tank onto it. Then hook up the lines and raise the front enough to get the support in place. While you have the tank out, dump all the fuel out of it, makes it very easy to handle.

First remove the clamp for the filler neck hose and the vent hose from the tank side of them and work the hoses free (may have to twist to get them to break free). Undo the rear support bracket and strap, use a jack stand to support the rear of the tank (lower it about 4".) Then loosen the...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: my first CUCV m1009 has some pro Do not put a jack on the oil pan. Idealy you use an engine hoist (cherry picker) and a length of chain bolted to the top of the engine.

that is just a supressor for electronic noise, used to keep clean power for radio's. You dont need it, just remove the pieces. Check the glow plugs for proper operation. (see the glow plug guide in the troubleshooting manuals thread)

Dj, we are talking about a CUCV ;)

RE: Re: RE: Factory dummy lights the plastic board is known for issues. its mainly just age and heat that cause the issues. I have a few burnt out dash lights that i need to replace one of these days.

I havent had my front axle apart, just was going on the "civilian" axles I have taken apart. All of them had a seal that ran on the axleshaft to seal against the back of the spindle.

there is a seal on the back of the spindle that rides against the axleshaft, that failing would allow the shaft to move around.

RE: wheel drag then the axle shaft pushed the cap off the hu take the cap off and look inside. Jack that side of the front axle up and see if the hub moves in and out (it may be missing parts inside the hub.)

RE: Re: RE: got the 5 ton into the container!! dont worry about driving it out. put the beams down, grease, and pull it with another truck or tractor. just go slow.

the New powerpack for the M1 is a sweet unit.

congrads.

he had to order the fuel base and a filter, wont be done until the filter in in place.

using the one from the cherokee involves a lot of heating and bending, the universal one worked out better for me.

worst case some minor stuff may have gone through and might reduce the life of the injectors, but the pump should be ok.

The "brake" light on the dash will light if there is a loss of pressure in the braking system.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Electrical uh-oh. Its done on purpose, that way if the bulb is burned out you HAVE to fix it, otherwise you could have an alternator issue and not know it till its too late. The civilian trucks have a resistor on the wire to the bulbs so the alternator works if the bulb...

yes they can fail. its a resistor, not a transformer. (electronics 101) you can bypass them, but if you do you will not be able to jump your truck from another using the slave cable if the front battery is completely dead.
