Hi Gang, Question for those of you that have gone through this before: Is it possible (worth the effort) to swap out the hydroboost and not open up the brake system? That is, can I leave the brake lines attached to the master cylinder and not have to rebleed the system and still be able to...

Hi Guys, Shameless promotion here... I've put my '86 arctic kit equipped M1009 up for sale. See the classifieds for details, and just ask if you're interested in seeing more pics. Selling it so I can raise some money to finish this project... (pics below) Thanks!

Hi All, Seems like a dumb question, but do any of you have a proven method for getting out the odd oil or coolant spot from CARC paint? I had an engine oil leak, and now I have a few oily spots on the back of my truck. Ideas?

Greetings All, Perhaps some of you knowledgable types could shed some light on this for me. Last weekend, I was driving my M1009 home from a meet. Everything was working perfectly. Lights on at startup, proper glow plug cycling, etc, etc. No problems. I drove it home on the freeway for...

Hi All, I finally rounded up the factory jack for my M1009, and was all excited to get it installed. i have the mounting bolt in place, as well as the hold down bracket and the wing nut. I also have the decal in the truck with the stowage instructions, as well as the operators manual. I have...

At a recent event I attended, there were a couple of HMMWVs on display. Both were quite obviously fresh out of rebuild with perfect paint, tires, interior, etc. But most noteworthy was this little mod that I saw on the parking brake lever. It looks like it's a safety stop to prevent bumping...

Hi All, I make no claims whatsoever about having any ability or experience in regard to autobody repair, so apologies up front for this one... BUT..... Both doors on my 1009 are badly out of adjustment. Not so much in and out, but rather front to back. Both rub on the fenders when opening...

Just a couple pics of my M1009 on display at Troopfest last weekend. It was held at the former Alameda Naval Air Station aboard the USS Hornet aircraft carrier turned floating museum. Lots of bands, food, even some "wrass-lin" for the WWE fans and everything was done to support the troops...

Hi All, I recently had to pull my oil pan and reseal it due to a badly applied treatment of vintage silicone and a subsequent leak... So I had to disconnect the trans cooler lines from the trans to get the torque converter cover off, to get the oil pan off, etc... Everything went back...

Hi Gang, I'm about to change the oil pan gasket on my M1009. It seems the 20+ tubes of silicone sealer that Soldier 1 put on the pan has finally given up. :lol: I've got the TM, the gasket, sealer, etc. and I THINK I'm ready to tear into it. It appears that the TM suggests that on my '86...

Hello All, I'm more than a bit uncomfortable trusting my truck's mechanical well being to a set of red lights, so I've decided I'd like to add a real oil pressure and water temp gauge. I'm sure some of you have already done this, and I'm looking for feedback about mechanical vs. electric, and...

I'm posting this info for a friend, so please contact Craig for more details or questions at ccclifton@sbcglobal.net. Ok here's what I know, there are 3 sets of 6.2 diesel heads, I think at least one block, and one mostly complete 6.5 engine with crank, rods, pistons, heads, etc. Word is that...

Hello All, I'm trying to repair and replace the various missing or broken stuff in my M1009's interior. I'm in need of a few things and was wondering if anyone had this stuff to spare: Seat belt plastic parts (of course, in that ravishing shade of red we all know and love): I need the...

Hi All, While looking over the M1009 yesterday, I discovered that the rearmost exhaust hanger on the passenger side was broken. :( Does anyone have a parts truck equipped with a servicable rear exhaust pipe hanger with the rubber isolator? This is the one that's bolted to the rear leaf...

Hi All, I'm trying to replace the radiator hoses on my CUCV and ran into a bit of a problem. I went down to NAPA and had the guy look up the hoses for the civvy Blazer, and the upper hose was the same, but the lower one was different. So I bought the upper one, went home and got the part #s...

Hi All, I've decided I need to change out the belts on my M1009 and was wondering if any of you have the civvy part numbers that I can take to NAPA and get some nice new ones. Apologies if this has been posted before or somewhere else, but my searches came up with nothing. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the compliment Armada... I just got my truck about 2 weeks ago. The reason it looks so nice inside is because it only has a little over 10k miles on it. It's certainly not due to any goodness I did to it, that's for sure! :) The truck came from Alaska, which is why it has the...

Hi, After looking at the archives, it would seem there are a few folks around here familiar with the CUCV Arctic Heater Kits. I have a question about them in relation to an M1009. Apologies up front if this is an obvious question... Would the simple fact of having the arctic heater kit...
