Hey guys, you haven't heard from me in a while. Have had a lot of crap to deal with and my M1009 is currently the smelliest part. I have to sell it and get some kind of crap commuter car due to impending divorce. I paid $6k for it, and some of yall have seen it and it is a nice one. But some...

So now that I am getting elbows deep into electrical stuff after being a bonehead and breaking things, I have two wiring mysteries I would like some help solving if possible. All of the wiring diagrams pretty much mystify me as they are just too small and way too fuzzy when sized up. So, without...

Yes. I searched. So about 4 days ago I removed the dash, as I am working on a new one. I figured I would let the M1009 run for a while today so I went out and started it (voltmeter was not connected) and got nothing, noticed that Gen 1 was pretty dim. Connected voltmeter, got even less. I am...

Ok, so things have gotten to the point with the new sheet metal dash where all I have to do is figure out what to do with the gen lights. I almost screwed the pooch and committed to converting to 12V just because of this, then the poltergeist that is doghead invaded my dreams and admonished me...

So, my main blackout light is toast. I read in another thread where someone fried a wiring harness trying to convert it over to fog lights. Frankly, the blackouts are useless to me to an extent, and I am looking for other options while maintaining the appearance. Can I connect a red lens...

So, after lots of poking around and searching, I need to post this here. Were these radio tray lights standard? Or did someone just decide to mod the tray in mine?

I searched and read a couple of threads, but was wondering about some things and if there is any new and amazing advice out there. Going to replace the seals in a few days, and was wondering if LMC is the way to go, or if there is a better product out there. Also wondering if there is...

You drove an hour and a half to my place last Sunday, I gave you a rad deal on a CUCV antenna base because you said you were a steel soldier. I totally forgot your username. Wanted to PM ya. Hope you see this.

Says the injection pump is not advancing. What does this mean? Possible causes? He isn't very talkative.

Working on the dashboard and am going to go with VDO Cockpit International gauges, which are available in 12V or 24V. I am assuming the gauges are 12V but can't find it in the TMs. Am I correct?

So, axle rebuilds and traction aids are coming up soon on the priority list. I had a random idea to swap to Dana 60's front and rear instead of rebuilding the 10-bolts. Anything I should know? Bad idea? Great idea? Compatibility issues out back? I would like this to be as straightforward as...

So I am madly and retardedly in love with my M1009 after a month of ownership. Seriously, I will own this thing until I die. So, I have a few questions. I am pretty handy, but the fine art of body repair and electrical things are beyond me. There is zero rust on the thing, and I don't care about...

This is probably yet another stupid newbie question, but it is driving me crazy. I live in an area with really bad surface streets and the noise my M1009 makes is insane. I have jiggled and manhandled the top, the radio tray, the tailgate, the doors, the hood, you name it and everything seems...

Is this thing hot when the ignition is off? I can't find my meter and don't want a shock.

Does anyone have a photo of the instrument panel removed? I would like to get a look at it before I rip mine out, so I can see how it is mounted and the like. I can't imagine it is model year specific so anything will help. Thanks guys.

Hey PNW folks. I need to bring the m1009 in for some basic maintenance stuff as I am mechanically retarded. Looking for a shop you guys recommend. Preferably with a relatively decent labor rate, and that will let me supply my own parts. So far I am looking at H&H Diesel Services, but their...

So I need to replace the oil pan, trans pan, and valve cover gaskets on Hester (86 m1009). I have never shopped for this kind of stuff. Only ever wrenched on motorcycles, so I was wondering if you guys have a preferred brand for gaskets for these motors, as I will only be giving her the best of...

Need positive thinking! *** Got her home! *** Probably not an appropriate thread here, but I need you guys to send good wishes my way. Off to pick up my first CUCV/M1009, also my first .mil vehicle ever in about 3 hours. I don't have what he is asking, so send your brain waves to the cosmos in...

Hey folks, new member from Tacoma, WA. Been lurking for a while but decided to register as I am about to pick up an m1009 for daily driver duty. Great site, am looking forward to bugging you all about the new addition.
