I have a '68 M109 deuce non-turbo. Don't have the original title. Got it from Barstow something like 40yrs ago. Only used it off-road as it proved to be an excellent desert camper. Selling of some of my vehicles and would like to sell this. Have no idea of the value and haven't been able to...

I have a 86 M1009. Has been trouble free for 5 yrs or so, so i'm out of practice in repairs. Just noticed that the voltage indicator is in the yellow. Neither red alternator light has come on. But when I checked my individual battery voltage, the rear battery reads 13+ and the front battery only...

I have a buddy who wants to trade me a excellent condition rear bumper for some MRE's that I have. Although my bumper is a little tweeked where the pintle mount is but I really see no reason to change it. I would probably do the trade if the bumper is worth something and I could resale it. So...

OK, got home a little while ago and a big puddle under the front of my '86 Blazer. Checked inside and the heater core is leaking. So how much of a hassle is it to change one of these? Only experience with heater cores was installing one in a M151A2. What a PITA. Any good sources for one? New or...

Got a friend interested a a 5-ton 14ft drop side bed in good shape. Have had it for years and am just using it to keep stuff in. Have no idea what its worth now a days. Any estimates?

Was going thru my old parts pile and found a NOS Distributor ignition assy. Since I sold my M151 a while back, am thinking about taking this and a few other parts to my local club meeting/swap meet. Wondering what this ignition is worth? Box is dated '92. Is this an electronic one? Really...

I got a 86 Blazer last year, it had a bad alt #2 and poor connections in relay, etc. Had the alt rebuilt and cleaned up the connections. After that got good charge on both batteries, alt2 light came on when starting then went out, everything ok. 10 months later my alt2 light stays on. So I...

I got a rebuild kit from CUCV Electric and it came with one capacitor. My Alternator {pass. side} has two capacitors, one inside and one mounted outside. Anybody know which one I'm supposed to replace?

Back somewhere around the early 90's my M1008's transfer case went belly up and I had to change it out with a surplus unit. My Dad who was an old farm boy suggested that I put 90wt gear oil in place of the tranny fluid. I been running that ever since. Any concerns on doing this?

I have had this M43 for probably 25+ years. In fact it was my first military vehicle. When I got it the previous owner had gutted the interior, taking out the front seats and removed everything in the back. I'm talking completely stripped. The person had also cut the roof to raise it for...

Just attended an event in San Pedro, Ca at the WW11 Fort MacArthur. This was a reinactement but our local club usuallly attends and displays their vehicles. Great event since its right on the coast and is relaxing and laid back time.

I have a '86 M1009 and I'm having trouble turning the ignition switch after inserting the key. It will take me up to 5 min to get the thing to turn. Once I get to the first position that unlocks the steering wheel its OK. To make matters worse I have a disability in my right hand so I have to...

I'd like to try some different colors of Gillespie paint but would like to see the actual colors. I e-mailed Rapco but have'nt heard back. Any source out there for color chips?

Installing a GPS in my M1009 and want to add a GPS marine antenna. Its a mag mount and looks pretty good on top of the cab. Problem is its white and I'd like it to match the green truck. I was planning on using the Rapco stuff or a water based latex. Have heard of problems when you paint...

Just paintred my M1009 with Gillespie 383 green and flat black and was retouching up a few spots. I washed off the hood to clean it up first and got some water spots that I couldn't remove. Ended up painting over them. Question is how long should you wait to wash the vehicle after your paint?

Just changed the rear diff fluid. What torque do I use in the cover bolts?

Well, when I got my M1009, it had no tailgate glass, so while waiting to get some I was clearing up all the broken pebbles of glass, etc. I was checking the operation of the hand crank and somehow broke this piece. Looks like a bar lock to prevent the tailgate from opening until the window is...
