    Another CUCV Alternator question

    There's no dumb questions here. You should be able to click any picture and zoom in on. My laptop has the touch pad and use 2 fingers to pinch in and out to get close or far. Not sure what computer your using but it should have that capability. If you can't figure that out post up what...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    I think you're right for sure. This blazer, I think, has a new engine in it and it's a 6.5. The reason he wanted the block heater was to help cold start wear...batteries, starter, alternator and glow plugs don't work hard on a warm engine. He's told me the glow plugs don't even turn on when...

    AcuTemp Refrigerator

    Having that lid on shocks is really nice for sure! I use mine all summer. The batteries do die after about a month if it's not being used. I leave it plugged in a bunch. My next thing I need to figure out is some kind of netting inside or something keeping stuff from bouncing all over the...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    I got the radiator for 350 and it still had the plugs screwed into the oil and transmission cooler ports...dang good deal...I took it to a rad shop and they fixed up the tank fittings since they were dented up some from the military surplus...still had cardboard on it plus the tag...had it air...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    Block heater is really working. It is a 1000 watt freeze plug style and has been plugged in since 9 pm...it's 6am for these pics...it was plugged in after driving it so it was, in theory, at least 195 degrees...so it dropped 100 degrees but is holding 93 degrees all over the engine. I'm using a...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    So the repair for the board worked great but the batteries did not last much more than a week before they would not hold a charge anymore overnight, cold kicked the bucket...so 2 new 6TM batteries went in! Nice having the Carlisle military stuff around with a distributor there for them...pricing...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    Been way to long since I've updated on the 1009...but it's been painted and all new seals installed...kid got his license last week so now he's driving it everyday. Had a fail in alternator 1 and it didn't charge the battery. I thought it was just low on water and acid, which it was, but it...

    M1009 axle swap from M1008

    If you're thinking of running the hmmv tires and rims I'd assume you've never tried to get a hmmv up over 50 mph....there's a reason they suck goin fast...tires are tough as nails so the ride is horrific...made more than a few scrambled brains in one.

    U-joint replacement PN

    Be careful when getting parts...use the TM and get part numbers and look them up yourself...if they have a quality brand then buy it online with the discount and pick it up at the store.

    M1008 Build

    I got a NOS rebuild kit for my master and Booster a few months ago from a surplus store north of Harrisburg...Both were still in the brown military boxes...I'd rather rebuild mine than deal with parts right now...you're right about getting anything. If you do buy from the chain stores do the...

    Sourcing a complete engine wiring harness '86 M1008

    Buying from John isn't an if it's a when...can't go wrong though...300 for a harness is not bad if you can't fix the one you have! Take notice to the ends of your harness carefully once you get the new one and compare them...since things like glow plugs and temp sensors might not match up plug...

    Speedo Cable Lube

    Up in the speedo head itself I have used dusty graphite puff stuff that doesn't gum up the mechanism inside...it only takes a little bit and it should run smooth for a long time.

    I went out and looked and took a few pics of what's on mine...not sure if that'll help with the ones you have. They look a little different than what's on mine now. The screw pockets look deeper.

    Rats nest wiring, setting 12V back to 24V

    You're in better shape than most if the glow plugs work!! The articles I'm talking about are at the beginning of the forums for the CUCV...it says Tm's n such...they are very long but have every part number and all the info you should need to get it to work right. If you can find someone that...
