Mods please move this if it's too commercial. I need to find a proper wheel rim for the spare on my M1009. I've searched high and low through the local junkyards. If I find something with the proper number of bolts, it's got the wrong size center. If I find the right center, it's got too...

Hey all, Can anyone comment on the possibility of pulling an M105 trailer behind a M1009 while unloaded? It seems I may have a trailer on the way, but I don't have an easy way to tow it at the moment except by hooking up to my M1009. Wouldn't be going too far, some highway miles though. Good...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone knows the size of the transmission to engine bolts offhand. I've been trying to find the source of the knocking noise coming from under my M1009, and it probably isn't helping that I'm missing some of those bolts....

The transmission in my M1009 has been acting up a bit lately, and I'm hoping I can figure it out before the solution becomes expensive. Symptoms I've noticed are a lot of chattering at idle and low RPMs when it's cold. No noise in neutral, seems to smooth out at higher engine speeds. Happens...

I know, I know, it's like looking for Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster, but I thought I'd make the effort anyway. I'm trying to find anyone who has for sale or trade a CUCV Arctic Weatherization Kit, or parts of said - PM please. I know a few guys out there have them installed - I'd like to...

Just got new glass for my driver's side door, and I'm stumped as to how it goes in. There doesn't seem to be a good angle to slide it in. Do I have to remove the wing window? Or am I missing something?

I'm replacing the glass in the drivers door of my M1009, and once I saw how bad the rubber window seal was, I decided to get that out too. Right now I'm looking at my LMC Truck catalog, and they list two different kinds of door glass run - a one-piece that goes from the bottom of the rear all...

Well, now both the driver's door and passenger side are dented pretty well, with the paint chipping off in places. I think I've settled on getting new door shells from LMC Truck, instead of trying to pound/pull out the dents. At the same time, I'm going to replace the hinges on the driver's...

Well, for the past few weeks, I've had an intermittent problem with one of the alternator belts. Periodically when throttling up from idle, something won't catch right, I'll hear a squeal as the belt slips, the GEN2 light will flicker a bit. Not something I was in a terrible hurry to fix...

Well, it's looking to be an active monsoon season out here in NM, and I can't park in the carport all the time, so.... Anyone know where I can pick up weatherstripping for the M1009? I need the piece that seals the tailgate around the bed and sides, and the piece that seals around the glass at...

FedEx found my house, a small miracle in itself. The kit came pretty much as seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyberspacecowboy_2001/557035825/ The top tray had all the necessary fittings, etc: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyberspacecowboy_2001/556831134/ Very nice looking unit...

If I win the lotto in the next two days, I'll be driving around this bad boy. http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=1149678 I'd have to put a cot in the back and move right on in!

Does anyone have a handy guide to decoding the VIN info on the CUCV series trucks? I'm particularly interested in the differences between the M1008 and M1028, since they're almost identical at first glance. I know someone posted about some 1028s that had the 200 amp charging system seen on the...

Just last week my M1009 developed a ringing/pinging noise somewhere in the drivetrain. It sounds like something in the rear diff (or possibly the transfer case). I checked both rear wheels, everything was fine. There's a little bit of play in the rear driveshaft - that is, I can turn it a few...

Hi all, The starter bendix in my M1009 has finally given up the ghost. New starter is on the way, but I'd like to rebuild the old one and put it back in. Only the bendix is dead, the rest is in good enough shape to keep using. Does anyone have a source for rebuild kits that aren't almost the...

Looks like 26 (!) starters are up for auction in VA in two lots: http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=1087885&convertTo=USD and http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=1087886&convertTo=USD I need one, or at most two, not thirteen at a time. Any interest in setting up a group...

I'm going to be surfing the GL site from now on, looking for another 1009 to add to my collection, maybe a 1008 too. In any case, who here has bought from GL recently? Are they any good at describing what's up for sale? Is the bidding cutthroat and inflated, or are there deals to be had? I...

Hi all, Been searching around for info on what might be wrong with my M1009 front end - there's a lot of noise coming from something down there. It's intermittent, but noticeable. My mechanic swears it was the passenger's side wheel bearing - which he replaced, and that seemed to help for a...
