MY 1009 has been converted to 12v by the Roscommon method. The passenger side alternator has been converted to a civilian 6.2L setup with brackets and an internally grounded standard civilian alternator. The alternator was not charging last week so I put a new one on it. It appears to me that...

I have slowly worked my way thru most of the electrical gremlins in the M1009 but I'm confused on this one: Lights off: Blinkers on both sides work perfectly, no issue Lights on: Blinkers on driver side work as they should, Passenger side is on but will not blink and the blinker makes no...

Hello all, I haven't been on here in a while because I sold my old M1009 but I am afraid I have bought a basket case that I thought I could fix. Price was right so I rolled the dice and I need some help. Previous owner converted to 12 volt and push button glow plug switch. Not real sure what...

Hey guys, I have been SS a while and have bought, sold and drove a lot of US iron but I am starting the search for a Unimog. I guess I'm just looking for something new and different. I plan to travel all over the Southeast to Civil War battle sites and camp from the vehicle. I know hotels are...

I have two M1009's and I am thinking about adding the Banks Sidewinder kit to both of them. I see that there are several models to choose from. I am assuming we have the HD version of the 6.2L but I just wanted someone to confirm it for me.

The tailgate on my M1009 has several rust issues and I want to replace it. Where should I buy the tailgate? I see that several places sell them from Ebay to LMC, but I don't want a cheap chinese part. I don't mind paying more for it but I want to make sure I am getting a quality part. I will...

Hey guys, my M1009 came with the pintle and mount torched off so I bought one from an excellent SS member, but I am having difficulty with the install. What is the trick to get the top tabs over the tabs on the bumper? Do I need to remove the bumper? Thanks in advance for your help.

I will post some pictures tomorrow but I just had to share my M715 story with all of you. I have a '67 with CUCV axles, NP205, SM465, and a 427 tall deck. Yes, I know the purists hate it but I bought it that way so it is not my fault. My parents were hit by one of the Alabama tornadoes on...

I sold my M35A3 to great guy named Tyler and he is looking for transportation from Phil Campbell, AL 35581 to East Dennis, MA 02641. Anyone interested or know of a good transport company?

Quick question for the axle experts: What is the difference if any in the axles from a 1976 Chevrolet 1 ton SRW and a M1008? I know gearing, locker, etc. but are these 1976 axles of the same design and type? I am looking to upgrade my M1009 axles and would like to use CUCV axles but I found...

Well I almost have the M1009 roadworthy but I ran into a headlight snag. For whatever reason someone cut my plugs off the ends of the wires but left the headlights in place????????? I bought 2 new pigtails but I am not sure which wire goes where. I have reviewed the TM - 34 but I am not sure...

I know someone had reported earlier that you could not title an A3 without an EPA/DOT certification in Alabama but I had a different experience. I got my A3 title this week with no issues whatsoever. Took about 4 weeks to get here but other than that, no problem. Is this just luck or have...

OK, my glowplugs were not working and the wait light was not coming on. I pulled the glowplug module and was getting started on the TM troubleshooting guide. I had a revelation and took a look at the fuse. It was blown. I replaced the fuse and started the truck without the GPM card inserted...

Picked up my M1009 earlier this week and of course it needs batteries. The batteries on it were the type the military uses on 2.5 and 5 tons. I searched and decided to get some group 31 batteries but they will not fit in my tray. I have two pieces of angle welded to my battery trayes that...

When I pick up my M1009 next week I plan to fully service the truck. As part of this I would like to go ahead and replace the mil spec fuel filter with a spin on type. I read all the threads about the NAPA base but I like the Racor 460 due to the vent and hand pump. My question is this: Do...

I didn't want to hijack the thread about rebuilding the M149A2 but I do have a quick question. What are your uses for these trailers? I notice they seem to sell pretty high on GL no matter the condition. Just wondering.

I finally found an M1009:). I have looked at several, both private seller and GL but I found this one on GovDeals. It is a 1985 with 6k miles. I went and looked at it last week in Tennessee. No rust issues and everything works except the glow plugs. I will have to diagnose the problem once...

I lucked up and found a guy that was retiring and closing down his garage that he had for about 30 years. I got his 600 gallon oil storage tank that I want to use in my WMO system for the clean oil but it has about 6 inches of crud in the bottom. The tank is on approximately 2 foot legs and...

I saw an M37 yesterday at the scrap yard in Russellville, Alabama. Didn't have my camera and the guy who prices trucks was not there. I imagine it could be bought for 30 cents a pound as that is how they sell most things. The number is (256) 332-9400. I know nothing about M37s and I am in no...

I am also a member over at www.thedieselplace.com and in one of the threads a guy said that the CUCV injector pumps were not as good as the civilian pumps at handling thicker fluids. I thought I had read the exact opposite on here but I can't find it again. I am looking for M1009 because I...
