    Trailer light wire identification

    Got a military trailer for my M1009. It had civy lights and I have a pair of Humvee tailights I want to put on. The wires from the taillights have aluminum identification numbers. Does anyone know the numbers mean / what wire lead is for what connector?

    M1009 gets a snorkel

    If that was MY Blazer, I would put a solar powered propeller on the top to discourage birds from landing and crapping on your hood. Maybe a weathervane too!

    Trailer plug junction question

    I went to Napa and looked in their Belden catalog. I ordered up the matching connector (got to put in the pins). it was like $2.00 for the connector. I'll wire it up to the civy trailer harness on my M762 until the stock lights and harness come in. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Trailer plug junction question

    Is this the standard type plug you all have on your M1009s? I went to NAPA to get the recommended T adapter and it doesn't fit. Any suggestions?

    CUCV questions.

    I have an M1009 for my daily driver and took it out on my desert (so Cal) trips for years. Nothing hard regarding offroading, but comfortable. The H1 Hummer is amazing off road and has replaced my M1009 as the camping vehicle. Maninence-wise, the M1009 has given me no problems except for...

    Pic thread? Looking for m1009's with minimal lift.

    33x12.5 BF Goodrich Mudders rub a bit and had to trim the rear inner lip of fender. I went in to get 32's at discount. They mounted the tires and found they only had three tires in stock...so they told me they would give me the 33's for the same price as the 32's. After install, when I was...

    Tan paint question

    HRF 233 - Desert Tan If originality is what you like, go Carc... just remember they don't last long and are meant to be recoated when they lose their flat ability. My 2 cents...if you're putting all the work into prepping and painting a vehicle, why not use a paint that will last. This...

    Dash light bulbs - LED replacement

    You might encounter problems with the gen lites not going out after starting your engine if you use leds in the gen lites. This happened to me. I thought everything was fine, the gen lites came on when I tuned the ignition, but wouldn't go out when the truck was running. Changed leds to 194...

    Dumb electrical question...

    The problem was LED bulbs used in place of the 194 bulbs. Won't allow alternator to charge. Changed back and problem is gone.

    Led - dont do this!

    I replaced my gen light bulbs with LEDs. If you do this, the generator lights will not go out and the voltage gauge will show in the yellow. I changed the gen lights back to 194's and problem is gone. According to the electrician, you would have to put in a resister...and the LED bulbs are...

    Show me your civilianized M1009s

    I just sprayed my M1009 top with Tri City Paints "Kustom Flatz Desert Storm Tan" You can buy it on line. I highly recommend this paint, which is Urethane with UV inhibitors. So all that hard work put into prep and painting will last longer than milspec paint. The kit comes with reducer and...

    rebuilding the alternator

    Well, I took alternators out and had the shop check them. They said both were fine and putting out 14.5 volts. So now I don't know what to do. I put in 2 new batteries, cleaned all connections, replaced relays under dash, checked fuses...and I STILL get 2 red gen lites when truck is running...

    rebuilding the alternator

    Hey Jumpyjim, do you still have the invoice for the guy on ebay? Perhaps he has a website or can sell direct. Broadway Electric in Lemon Grove San Diego wants $150 each to rebuild, so I'm thinking I would rather do it myself. Any specialty tools required? how did you crack the cases? This...
