Quick question. For the past 3 winters my m1009 has performed flawlessly in cold weather. This winter I have had to use ether a few times to get it started. When I turn the ignition on the wait light stays on for 1 minute when in the past it would stay on for 15 seconds even in the coldest of...

Ok, so I had two of my BOLs not working. I bought a set of new lights that weren't exact for my M1009. I spliced in the new lights and mounted them cleaned all the grounds and grounding areas on the mounts. So I turn them on one at a time as I mounted each new light. All work fine until I get to...

Sorry for the dumb questions I'm about to ask. I just purchased a bunch of radio equipment. I was after the RT-246 for my M1009. The radio came with an antennae base. Its a 6067. IS this the correct base for this radio? I need to find the antennae for it. Where can I go to purchase the antenna...

Quick question. I bought the AC60G GP's to replace in my m1009. I know the tips/leads are larger on the 60G's then the stock ones. What are the ramifications of filing down the leads on the 60g's to fit the stock connectors? Will it have an effect on the current flowing to the plugs? Or will...

Ok so I have been looking thru the TMs and pictures here of the GPR change out. Mine has the newer style GPR like the one in the CUCV facts picture. As i was looking under the hood yesterday, I noticed something strange. The two red leads with white markings coming from the sheilded area on the...

I haven't pulled my instrument cluster yet. Doing that this weekend. Lights work on all gauges, but no light on the volt gauge. Does that gauge have a bulb?

Ok, so I have read several posts here and seems that the presence of white smoke on start up is a bad thing? Am I understanding correctly, or should their be some(light) amount of white smoke? If its bad I take it GP's might need replacing!

Ok So I took the m1009 to the muffler shop today. The system is intact but badly rusted. I am having a new system put in. Three inch pipe and a better flowing muffler. While the guy is under the Cucv looking at my exhaust he asks if someone swapped out axles on my vehicle. He was trying to tell...

Another newbie question. I have gone thru this vehicle extensively and have found little if any rust. Were I do have rust is on the undercarriage, or more specifically the axles and most of the steering assembly. It is surface rust. I plan to take it to a buddies farm and bead blast it off. Any...
