A neighbor said that he had some military stuff that was given to him and wondered if I wanted it to go with my army truck. Never being one to turn down free stuff, when I got home tonight on my porch were two 5 gallon jerry cans and some kinda power unit thing. What in the world is a...

So, I completed the fuel filter replacement today on my M1009. Switched to a Napa spin on thanks to the instructions provided by other SS readers. Works great. Started right up, no leaks, no problems. Turned the truck off and went on to other tasks. The wife got home, asked what I had...

I need an explanation or direction to where I might find this info about the fuel filter on my M1009. There are three hoses on the filter. One coming up from the bottom is the inlet. Why are there two on the right? Obviously one is the outlet, what is the other? I am sure there is a simple...

M1009 wont' start. Batteries are dead and won't hold a charge. They are TL6 tagged "new Feb 07". Is that about their life? I looked into replacing them today. The local Interstate warehouse does not stock them, so they don't have blemished ones. The only place in town that I found a TL6...

The heat seems to have gone out in my M1009. It worked fine last year and early this spring. Is there a "usual" problem that I should look for first? The blower blows, the air is just cool/cold. Thanks

I want to install a battery disconnect switch in my M1009. If I understand these correctly, I should install it on the ground side of the front battery (still have original 24 volt/ 12 volt system). Does anyone have a suggestion on which style? I want to be able to switch it on and off from...

I have not been able to figure this one out. In my M1009, when I turn on the right turn signal, the fuel gauge starts dropping with each click. Once I shut it off, it slowly climbs back to the level where it started. Doesn't matter if the lights are on or off, and it doesn't do it when I turn...

I was looking at the M101 trailers in the upcoming Ft. Campbell auction. Looks like they have a bunch, but if I am reading it correctly, they are selling them in lots of 2. Is that normal?

A friend of mine lives near Lexington, KY. He said he was out near Avon, KY (Bluegrass Army Depot area). He told me that there is a field off Ware Road where there are hundreds of military trucks, trailers, Humvees, etc all lined up. I looked on the GL site and I didn't see any upcoming...

Anybody ever add an extra 'jumpseat' in the back of an M1009? I have 4 kids and a wife. We can't all fit. I am looking for suggestions. I remember the station wagons of my childhood sometimes had rear facing seats. Your thoughts, ideas, and pictures would be appreciated.

I am looking for a spare tire for my M1009. What civilian trucks rims will fit? I know they are 15 x 8 , 6 lug wheels, but the junk yards around here seem to have a hard time crossing it to a more "modern" truck. What advice do you all have? Thanks!

I would like to install a power inverter in my "new" CUCV. What recommendations are out there? Which battery would be best to hook into? I think I want to mount it under the dash, is that bad? Also, I would like to put in some additional DC items like a radio, cb, power outlets (for GPS...

Just picked up my new M1009 (first one). The Fuel gauge does not work. Is there a normal problem that these have? What should I look for first? Also, there are no dash lights, is that normal? Is it part of the blackouts system? Maybe related to fuel gauge? As I have never owned one of...

I am new here. Had a couple bids in on a CUCV M1009 in the Indianapolis auction, had to go to the dentist and missed it by $70! The next auction coming up, that is remotely close, is Ft. Campbell. A quick review noted none of the CUCV 1009's "start" . Not having a trailer, not sure how I...
