    Should I be worried about not having done doghead relay?

    Let me explain: The diesel mechanic who used to own it his a little rubber button on the driver's side that starts the CUCV. We just turn the key in the ignition to turn the vehicle on and warm the glow plugs. It always starts within 1 second when we push the button but I have no idea what he...

    Can't see the instruments at night

    Awful. My eyes ain't what they used to be. Should we swap these bulbs for white LEDs or a different color? How many bulbs are used for lighting up the instruments? I've got the knob twisted all the way and its like these lights are .00005 watts each

    H6054 is the correct headlight? What is the most OEM-looking assembly?

    One of the headlights is yellowed on our CUCV (the other looks fine) but upon closer inspection they are two different lenses. I see prices ranging from $9 to $50 and up from Napa to Autozone..Amazon..etc. "Napa Light" is $9..Autozone sells a Sylvania model for $11... If we are just looking...

    Rust protection M1009 - Rhino/spray liner a good idea or bad?

    I've read numerous threads on here but they've resulted in more confusion than clarity. Here are some questions: 1. Does brand matter? Vehicle is tan at the moment so we're thinking of a basic black liner for the interior. 2. Will this help PREVENT further rust from leaky hard top on the...

    Worth picking up a spare alternator?

    I found a guy who has working original CUCV ground isolated alternators he's pulled out and selling for $65 (non rebuilt). He said he's tested them to see they work but that's it. It seems thats a no-brainer to have a spare around..could swap it out if one goes bad and then we could take our...

    So we finally got around to putting in the new radiator last night Out with the old in with the new! While we were into it we decided to go ahead & replace the thermostat. The nightmare begins... Both bolts were frozen. It appears this must have been leaking at some point in the past...

    How do you bolt radio antenna mounts to truck?

    Is there a special bolt or tool needed for this? I see the holes on the vehicle but not sure if there is a 'molly bolt' type solution here or something else. Sorry for the dumb question..just can't quite figure this out by reading the TMs. Also where do you find the correct bolts and what...

    Replacing various burned out lights on M1009

    I didn't see this in the FAQ and was confused by some of the diagrams and sellers on ebay. If we need bulbs, are standard 12v bulbs all that is required? Are there different bulbs for the brake lights, blinker lights, etc.? Where on the site would I find a guide for all the bulb IDs for the...

    My son is a proud new M1009 owner! Bonus pics with CUCVLOVER who we met driving back

    We brought 2 batteries with us, got it to start (after having sat for months) and were able to get it into DRIVE by starting it in neutral to get it onto trailer. Hope CUCVLOVER doesn't mind me posting his rig as he met us at Love's on the way back and gave my son a ton of advice and checked it...

    Cucv won't shift from park with ignition on but will if not.

    Is this a bad relay or something? Maybe the shift lock control?

    Almost Bought M1008. Some Questions

    So I have a few obvious questions that I didn't see 100% in the FAQ: 1. It has 315 75 16 tires on it. It appears to be the OEM rims so can I just purchase and put on the regular sized tires listed in the FAQ? Is there a good tire brand/model I should look for or more importantly..any I should...
