    My power steering box on my M1009 has developed a leak around the steering shaft. I already bought the seal and will most probably fix it soon. But, If I were to convert it to manual steering it would eliminate the power steering pump drawing down on the engine (yes, I realize it is a...

    Leaking Fuel Pump

    Cranked up the M1009 yesterday and went back inside to let her warm up. When I came back out there was a small puddle of diesel fuel on the driveway. It appears to be coming from the center seam in the fuel pump, from what I can tell. So, before I replace it, I wanted to ask y'all what you...

    Fuse Box

    When I recently purchased my first M1009, it came with a handful of electrical issues. I have been ironing them out, little by little.

    FMV Title Help in Tx

    My trip to the Bexar County Tax office went less than productive. I bought a 86 M1009 CUCV from a Police Dept and I need to get it titled. I took the Form 130-U to the tax office and they got really confused. There was multiple calls to Austin and much stammering, stuttering and "I don't knows"...

    Gentlemen, I am quite new to MVs and even less adept at electrical issues. I have found several solutions here and am very appreciative. Here are a couple of problems I am having and I'd really appreciate your input. - First, neither GEN 1 or GEN 2 lights will light up. I've checked them and...
