Hi all, For some reason, I had the same problem today. Sometimes the gen 2 light would come on, and at the same time the needle on the volts gauge on the dashboard would get close to the red zone on the grey side of the gauge. I just checked the connections on the back of Gen 2, all looks...

Hi guys, What is the best way for me to find out if my M1009, will be able to make a long road trip in excess of 2-3 hours, and/or 200-300 miles? It starts, runs and drives great so far, locally. But I have yet taken it on a real road trip of any excess length. Any ideas?? I know the...

Just curious, Do any car stereo companies actually make a 24v car stereo? I would not think so, since the military never spec'ed them into their vehicles. Unless you pull one out of a civy european car, because as far as I know, vehicles in europe run 24v anyway. But if and when I want...

Hi all, Got my problem solved this weekend and have a new window. Thanks to the two gentleman from here that helped me out this weekend. I really appreciate it. God bless both of you. Good night, CJ

re; Went to the beach with my girlfriend....topless! Hi all, If you actually do make a calender, Count me in, seriously. Because I am a photographer, so I can shoot at least some of it. You can view some of my work at my online portfolio here: PhotosByJay.Com If interested, we can work...

Hello 67, Sorry to hear that. Hope you get it fixed soon. Good night, CJ

Hello CUCV, Thank you for the message, and understanding. I appreciate it. And I am sorry to hear that same thing happened to you. Mine shattered when I closed that door this morning as soon as I got to work. I think I need to reseat that door, so it closes properly, I think that may...

Hi all, Does anyone have a passenger door window for a 1985 M1009? Please let me if you have one you can get rid of or sell. Mine just shattered today (Thursday Sept. 2, 2010). And I need to replace it before it starts raining again. This is an urgent request, please let me know if you...

Good luck with the project. I have a CUCV, and that kind of trailer is the exact trailer that is supposed to go with my CUCV. I wish I could find one like you did, to restore, so I can haul cargo. Good night, CJ

Hi All, Here is my M1009. It is a work in progress. Feel free to comment, offer advice, etc. CJ

Dragonman, Does that gun on your truck work? (it looks like a gun anyway...) CJ

Byrdo, Very simply, You have got to FIGHT!, for your RIGHT!, to PARK!! In your own drive way! The M35 is a military cargo truck. NOT a commercial vehicle or a, big rig with a 5th wheel... If it were me, I would fight it. I would also find out who made the complaint, and face that coward man...

Tamecrow, Thank you for the link to that article. That answers my question. I will NOT use Dura Lube in the future, I will stick with just good quality engine oil. Thank you, Good night, CJ

Sorry Mav, Dura-Lube is an engine oil additive, it comes in quart size bottles. So when you do an oil change, you can replace one of the quarts of oil with a quart of dura-lube. Dura lube is supposed to bond to your engine, making the inside of your engine slicker, permanently. I have used...

Hi Guys, Have any of you ever used "Dura-Lube Engine Treatment" (it is an engine oil additive), in any of your 6.2L Diesel CUCV engines? If so, has it worked well? and did what it is supposed to do? I used to use it in all of my previous gasoline engines. And it worked great every time...

Hi guys, I did some TLC on my M1009 today, simple stuff, but needed to be done: Cleaned the battery posts & battery cable connectors of corrosion. Added some new "NCP-2" corrosion preventative treated battery terminal protectors to the battery posts. Cleaned the tops of the batteries before...

Hello Hogg, Thanks for the info.. I will look for vinyl spray paint then. And I will also look at my LMC catalogs and see how much the door panels are. Unless you care to tell me? Thanks CJ

Hello Ralbelt, Hmmm.. a can of spray paint and a steady hand would be less expensive. Perhaps some time in the future, when I am making more money, I can get them done that way. But in the mean time, I need to find a less expensive way to bring them back to life, or refinish them. Have a...

Hello Ralbelt, Ok, I looked it up in google. And read what it entails. Sounds expensive. What is it going to cost you for each door panel? Any info. would be appreciated. Thank you CJ

Hi guys, Thanks for the info. I will give that a try when I get myself some paint, and see what happens. The door panels are in good shape, but look faded, blotched, like ****. So I want to get them looking better.. Good night, CJ
