M1009 Tailgate Crank I finally lost all use of my tailgate window crank for my M1009. I've looked all over the Internet w/o any success. Anybody have one they can "part" with? I'll need the whole crank assembly. Whether the lockset works or not is not really as much an issue as being able...

Was driving down the highway at about 55 mph, going downhill, having just filled my tank with diesel and added Lucas to the tank not a minute earlier. Suddenly, a very loud, rhythmic banging/clanking sound came from under the hood. Frequency changed with the accelerator pedal. Took my foot...

I recently had all 8 glow plugs replaced in my M1009, as I was unable to start at all beginning this Fall. I suspect I had experienced the cascading glow plug failure people have written about. The truck now starts up beautifully with the first crank. It's wonderful. But I have noticed...

Hey, y'all! My '85 M1009 has been running very smoothly for a good while. Recently, I've noticed an unburned diesel smell around the truck when it's parked, and in the cabin when i'm driving it. It's actually bad enough to burn my eyes. I also notice the truck tends to run harder than...

Has anyone ever aerosolized Marvel Mystery oil into their CUCV using an Ampco atomizer? We have a 97 Honda Odyssey with over 300K miles with one on it. Was wondering if you could/would/should do that with a Diesel?

I have a Cobra 29 CB in my M1009, wired directly to the front battery. Twice now, after not driving the Tank for 10 days or so, it has run the batter down. The radio is off, but it does have a built in weather alert; i'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. The gernerators are both...

Went to start the CUCV tonight. Glow plug light came and and turned off as usual. Turned key and had rapid-fire loud clicking. CB radio, which is connected directly to the battery and was off, flashed on and off in same frequency as clicking. Engine did not turn. Headlights work. Dash...

I have a CB radio on my CUCV with an AB15 base and the MS116-117-118 antenna. The antenna base is new/old stock fresh out of the box. I have cut my whip to be a total of 110 inches long from the bottom of the base to the antenna tip. I am using a new Cobra radio. My antenna tests good when...

Hey, y'all! I've been reading the various threads about CBs and AB15/MS116-117-118 combinations. I have an AB15 consisting of the upper and lower ceramic base, a rubber gasket, a circular metal plate with a grounding tape, and a clamp strap soldered to the loose end of the grounding tape. Of...

I have recently purchased my first CUCV and am new to this forum. I have a 1985 M1009 with a newly-replaced wiper motor (just six week ago). I replaced it because the washer pump had quit. The wipers and washer initially seemed to work smoothly and quietly, but then today the wipers began to...
