I say its a GOOD modification but not a Must. But thats the first thing I did when I got my M1009. I bypassed the resistor bank with a direct 12v feed from the front battery and installed new AC-60 GPs the added a manual push button for back up. No worries and works great.

If I could only have one CUCV (Which is about all my wife will allow :roll:) I would keep my M1009. I only use it for cruising around and light trail use. Its not my DD. With my M101A2 attached every now and then it works well for for carry extra gear( fourwheeler-light cargo) If I was...

I had used the GR 24v DB Electric starter before. It worked great but I got rid of the truck not long after so dont know how long they last. I got the GR bracket from GM-parts direct I now have an original starter i need to rebuild to keep as a spare.

Very nice truck. Inside and out. Looks great

I have a new walmart batt. for the front and a old 2005 dated battery for the back differnt brands and CCA . I leave the truck sitting for 2 months at a time while im working with no trickle charger and it starts on the first time every time. No issiues and still running strong. 2cents

Looks GREAT! Nice Rig

Welcome to the site congrats. Awaiting pics:smile:

Good luck with your Turbo. My first CUCV had a turbo on it my M1009 does not. I miss the extra power. My buddy went to the junk yard and picked up 2- complete GM-4 6.5L turbos intake and all parts for next to nothing. He installed it on the M1008 that I bought from him later on. He removed...

Subscribing. Alot of cool pics and ideas. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/members/cucv1833-albums-m1009.html

Mine starts and gets up to hwy speeds (65mph) so I guess thats good enough. For sure not a power house but gets the job done. I never hot rod it and keep it well maintained. I always think the same thing thats somethings not at a 100%. It will barely climb up a bridge :?

:ditto: Nice one looks great.:beer:

I got bogged on my lease this year in 3 inches of mud and had to be pulled out. Very embarrassing. I coulded even dig my self out. It was operator error. But plan on getting some 33s. Running stock wrangler 31s now with a 2.5 lift. Agreed I took mine on the beach a few times and had fun. Not...

:ditto: Thats cool!! Ive been trying to by my wife one but its a no go.

:ditto: I tried to buy another Cucv. I even told the wife it was for her but she didnt buy it.

I running 2- cherrybomb glasspacks on my M1009. Its not real bad when your cruising around but speeds over 55mph seem to be annoying and during quick take offs. I will cont. to run them for a while but I would prefer a regular muffler. You can find cheap mufflers for the price of a...

:ditto: I painted my M-1009 and M-101 with Rapco rattle cans. It took me only 1-case to then both. Im happy with it.

30- min to 1hr I dont think thats a problem. When I was in the sevice we had a HMMVEE with a 6.2 we let idle for days as needed. Im not saying thats a good idea though. My M1009 is not a daily driver so when I use it Im not in a rush and let it warm up to full operating Temp. 10 mins. I have a...

It was the 1-gal kit and I was able to put 2-thick coats on the floor an side walls. It was JUST enough. NO diluting. I bought a extra pint but did not need it so I will use that on the floor only on my M101A2. I had some thick roofing tar on the floor under the rear seat on mine thats what...

Heres a pic of mine. I did it in 1 day. Started around 0700 in the morning and put the 2 coat on around 8pm and let it dry over night. I used the truck lightly the following day in the after noon. It turned out good the first pic has dirty foot prints after the coating was try. I first...
