    CUCV M1009 Blazer will not start

    Dielectric grease can be one of your best friends on any electric connection. Makes plugging and unplugging a lot easier as well as making a better connection that will not corrode!

    Would you pay $17,000.00 for a M1009?

    Heck, I have a nice original M1009 from Ft. Sill that would be a bargain for $14,995 compared to a modified one. I could probably find you some ocean front property in OK to go with it!

    M1009 vibration

    The m1009 has a real short rear driveshaft to start with. If this ride has always had this vibration the rear end yoke angle may not be matching the rear of the transfer case yoke angle. A transfer case mount or the rear springs could be causing a problem with this. Sometimes the correct shim...

    So my battery EXPLODED today

    I had the same thing happen on a tractor one day with two 12 volt batteries in parallel. I turn the key to start and one battery exploded very loudly. Never did know what the cause was. I washed tractor real good with water and then sprayed liberally with a multi purpose spray lube to kill the acid.

    fuel bleeding problem

    I agree 3 gallons is not enough fuel in tank to prime system. I have experienced this on a M1009. More fuel in tank will probably help.

    Getting ready for Haspin 2015

    I would highly recommend Mystik JT7 gear oil. It stands up to heat really well and still performs like it should. Better than most Mil Spec Mil-PRF-2105E lubricants. It will last twice as long in a tractor rearend without the heat breaking it down and it lubricates better all the time.

    Who makes a bearing packer big enough to handle M35A2 wheel bearings?

    I have a Camel brand grease "wand". I have had it for approx. 35 years. It is about 6 inches long. It is round with a zerk fitting on one end. The other end is flattened out to about an inch wide but thin enough and curved to fit into the bearing itself. You just insert into bearing and fill...
