    mil-spec b46176 brake fluid

    Can anyone tell me if this is dot 3 or 5 or something else? It is for a 1995 army lift-truck. Thanks

    glow plug sensor

    I don't believe mine is working right. The wait time is the same hot or cold and the GP relay cycles the same hot or cold. Are they repairable? Can someone explain how it works? Does it also control idle speed? Thanks

    M1009 mis-assembled lockouts

    I figured out that the collar was on backwards also. That is in addition to having the spring on wrong so that the front axle was always locked no matter how the selector was turned on the hub. Both sides were the same. This truck came from GL, this was done by the military. It would be very...

    M1009 mis-assembled lockouts

    The spring was assembled wrong, so the collar could have been too. I'm unsure how the collar should go on. The collar is built with a space on the I.D. should that space be in or out? Thanks

    M1009 mis-assembled lockouts

    I took out the screws holding it on and the spring was on the wrong side of the sliding gear. The hubs were locked all the time no matter which way the selector was turned. Now I'm not sure the gear was on the right way either. Can anybody tell me which way it goes. Thanks

    Body Parts

    That mirror doesn't look like it was meant to be fixed when you break one either.

    Locked Military padlocks

    I have seen that 3 letter code too. I was wondering if that was enough for a locksmith to make keys on the 5100 or 5200 series? I have looked all over the truck for a hiding place but haven't found keys. Has anyone found keys hidden in their truck? My spare tire was locked up under my CUCV. A...

    Only 15 mpg and hot to touch front hubs!

    With a young driver, I think I would suspect a 2 footed driver. One foot on the gas and the other on the brake=hot brakes and bad mileage.

    Alternator belts squeeling

    It appears that the passenger side alt pulley doesn't make quite as much contact with the belt as the left side, its a shorter belt on the right if I remember right. I did some sanding and it did help. I hope it lasts, if not I'll try sanding some more and get some cleaner on it too. One friend...

    Stock Steelies Larger Dia. Tire

    If you were to recenter a set of HMMWV wheels what backspacing would be best? I like the looks of them but I don't know how wide they are. Maybe someday I'll buy a set. Thanks

    Stock Steelies Larger Dia. Tire

    Does anyone have a picture of the Toyo M55 on their truck? What kind of tread is it? Also is the 4.5" back spacing optimum for these trucks or would alittle more or less be beneficial for the rubbung issues? Thanks

    Well, after wanting one for a year, I think I am about to bid on a CUCV

    The problem with auctions is you can't go for a test drive. Be prepared to fix something. With GSA they get most of their trucks from some agency turnback. The agency didn't pay for it so they aren't going to pay to fix it. They give it back when it's broke and it goes up for auction. You will...

    M1009 Getting bad gas mileage

    Tire pressure?, fuel leak? but if the air was getting up under the mattress thats like dragging an anchor, add a headwind and you may not make 70.

    I towed a big boat with my m1009, that's the most you've towed?

    With a M1009 I think the towing limit would come from its short wheelbase more than anything else. Gearing, trans cooler, hitch all have an effect, but the short wheelbase, speed, and brakes are what will affect your safety. I towed another M1009 with my M1009 and a military tow bar, over 40mph...

    Topless m1009s

    I took the top off last june, 1st summer its been off and I really like it off, I'll put it back on when the rain starts up. I'll take it off again next summer for sure. With the back open, you don't get that oven when you 1st get in and the roof keeps the sun off. With the top on exhaust fumes...

    FT Lewis M1031!

    The bidding did run over 15 minutes I think. Sorry I didn't bid again, I did think about it though. When this happens to me I just figure it's just not meant to be. I do know how you feel. I've been there.

    FT Lewis M1031!

    4800 + the 480 and it starts getting up there. When the price gets this high the bidding isn't as likely about resale. Somebody wanted it for themself I think. I wanted it too but I couldn't justify that much. The winner must feel lucky hearing your story. Ft Lewis must have more of these. I...

    extra glow plug relay

    I called napa they said the ST85 was continous duty and the ST80 was not. Unless anyone knows better it sounds like I can use it since my glow plugs aren't continous.
