    Best 24 Volt Source on M1009

    I have a 24 volt siren that I simply want to test from a 24 volt source on my M1009. Where would be the easiest place to hook it to? I know the starter is 24 volts but is hard to get to. Is there a certain place on the firewall that I can get 24 volts? Thanks in advance for help. :lol:

    CCKW on Late Model Frame

    I had come across an old original CCKW open cab last year and was unable to talk the owner out of sending it to the scrap yard. Since then I have wondered about taking an old CCKW that was in bad shape and either putting the cab and front end on a late model one ton chassis or putting the late...

    Key for US 5200 Locks on M1009

    Since there is a key question out there, I thought another one might be in order. Like most CUCV's mine had a chain welded to the drivers seat and two nice locks to chain and lock the steering wheel. This was due to the ignition keys being the same on all of them. My question is does anyone...

    M1009 Finally Made it Home

    My CUCV M1009 finally came home. I drove it 16 miles from the mechanics house last night with the new flexplate. Everything seemed fine. Got to work on gas gauge problem and right side gen light. Both batteries are charging, but the right light and amp gauge have problems. Lot to learn, but...

    Best Place to buy CUCV Parts

    Does anyone have some websites or parts vendors they would recommend as the best places to buy parts for the M1009? I understand NAPA carries a lot of them since they can interchange with the civilian version. I was wondering if there were some vendors that might have NOS military parts...

    M1009 Towing Capacity

    I was reading the TM and it says the M1009 maximum towed load capacity is 1200 lbs for both cross country and highway travel. Tongue weight not to exceed 100 lbs. How much have any of you towed behind your M1009? I had hoped to tow my 16 foot trailer with my 2300 lb GPW on it? Looks like I...

    CUCV Engine Color

    I was reading an old April 2003 article from MV magazien about CARC paint. They said that when painted correctly that the engines were also painted in CARC. The article was talking about all military vehicles in general. Did the military ever paint the CUCV engines any color besides black?
