I'm doing a rear brake job as the seal leaked oil onto the brakes. After pulling everything apart I can only find an outer hub seal and that is all that the tm shows unless I'm missing it. How is oil kept out of the hub bearings? When I took this apart oil poured out of the hub. There was no...

I'm inquiring about the dually pickups. Why did they get converted from the M1028's. I have a M1028, it hauls a shelter just fine, although a bit sluggish. Did the army have a different use? Were they used by all branches of the armed forces? With any different objectives? They would tow...

I had an old spare tire in the back of my M1009 that blew out. This spare was on my sons M1009 the month before. It wasn't over inflated then. It was a size that didn't match so it was relegated to a spare. This is my daily driver but wasn't driven for a week while we were on a camping trip. The...

It has been almost a month, but I finally fixed an alternator and thought I'd post what I found out in the last month. If your gen light is flickering, it is nothing to be concerned with if it happens at higher engine speeds and can be stopped with lights or the defroster being turned on. If you...

I would strongly agree with you cpf240 except that taking the alternator off and on the truck is the most time consuming thing and I would rather save good parts and learn how to be more self-sufficient. I just had my well pump replaced last Friday because the pipes had rusted through. The pump...

I like watching you tube and there is a good demonstration there rebuilding and testing a 10si delco alternator. Basically the same as our cucv 27i's. It is worth watching.

I have tested the triple diode, rectifier, field windings and rotor. I can't test the regulator so that is going to be replaced. The plug is dirty a well as the spade connectors. What is the result of the bad connection? Is it a alternator that won't start charging easily? Usually the light on...

Cheapskate, maybe I could fit that definition, but I prefer to think of myself as frugal. Why buy parts that you don't need? Then throw away good functional parts because they are not new. I've got probably 6-10 of these alternators that aren't working, $40x6 $240. $400 is as Angel Eyes might...

There are a number of reasons an alternator will stop charging. I was wondering if others that rebuilt their alternator and knew which part failed and the symptoms it displayed before it totally failed. I have had the dash light give off a dull glow that seemed to gain in brightness until it...

It looks like both ways work. I think the placement of the glass with the seal in the truck looks easy with the key being lots of lube and the windshield being in the exact place to begin with. If the gasket needs replacing then putting it on the windshield first. Thanks for both suggestions.

So if your gasket is good, leave it in the truck and work in the replacement glass? I took my truck in to a glass company, they said they reuse the gasket. That is what I plan on doing with a new strip(napa?) as I have a used windshield, now I wish I had saved the old gasket too. Thanks

Hello, I have a small trailer 121"long x 61" wide x 70 tall and 3k lbs. It is a 4 wheel trailer with a fold up tongue, not hi-way capable so it would need to be hauled. It wouldn't have to taken the whole way just gotten closer where I could come and get it. Maybe CA, UT, ID or anywhere in...

It really makes me mad when I see HMMWV's in the hands of IS and our own government would rather destroy them than sell them to it's citizens that paid for them in the 1st place.

The check is easy, and only while idling. They check for CO and visible tailpipe smoke. I've never had a problem with any of the M1009's I've had checked as long as I have the 21 bucks on me.

I have used my M1009 for towing a loaded car trailer in a pinch, but strongly recommend against it. I used the stock hitch location but just bolted up a convertible pintle/ball hitch. The problem is stability over 40mph. I have a trailer brake controller on mine so braking was not a problem and...

I had the same problem. Fuel is running back to the tank is a good guess. I changed out that filter housing for a civvy model without the o-ring and my problem remains. I park mine with the nose of the truck down and that helps, but finding the air leak can take some effort. That fuel filter...

Is it in park or neutral?

What is the purpose of the after glow? For extreme cold? or is it a result of the card only and not needed?

Antennaclimber, It was in an earlier post you said open circuit=high resistance and that is also how I see it if there was a circuit, and no resistance to me means no drop in voltage, but I'm not very good with electrical problems. The new temp sensor gave me a a long wait light and the truck...
