Been AWOL for a while....as far as my fleet was concerned. Finally got the badly leaking heater core replaced in my 3 color 1009. Didn’t drive it for months but did keep starting it weekly and batteries charged. No leak, all is forgiven, all components functioning as designed....knock on wood.

Time to let it go then... I’ll help you ease the pain. :p

One yes, One no....time will tell.

We will go down together man....

Not sure what happen but all 8 Wellman glow plugs installed last April were inop....finally got a break from the polar vortex and got 8 new 13G’s installed. I did by pass the resistor until I can figure out how/why they all seeemd to fail seemingly at the same time. Feeling accomplished....

Installed the cold weather grill cover and necessary hardware on NGOG1N...thanks again to John at Hillbilly Wizard for supplying me with everything needed for a perfect installation experience. Then I removed it immediately because it’s an unusual 55 today.

Just cleaned out the grime and what was left of that broken down felt, lubed up the spots that needed it....did"t replace the felt in the tracks because I did have them on hand. That may be a project for another day.

oh, yes...its been sanded and painted... I was referring the the getting that heavy joker all lined up and bolted down. Did one alone once...once was enough.

Continuing reassembly of NF0LXR after the recent paint upgrade...just got the back bumper lined out... gonna need Soldier B for that front bumper and brush guard. PO opted for the chrome rear window crank. Anyone want to trade for a black one? :)

I used RAPCO 383 green, utilized the thinner and ratio they specify on the web site. One gallon of paint was plenty.

Before pic

NF0LXR back in uniform, no more fire engine red.

Did the new set of 13G's come with the correct size spade connector? I ask because I recently got some from the parts house and they had the wider incorrect spade. Just curious.

Got Jerry Can mount installed... thanks to the CUCVRUS information posted about the correct fastener it was a one trip to the hardware store project. 5/16-18. Tested it out with a fuel can and it’s perfect. I’m sure a water can on the inside is how I’m loading out. Thanks again to everyone who...

Nope....Just the outside. The interior looks just like it did when they picked it up at Ft. Leonard Wood. Seats are perfect. I did notice that the seat bases are different than my other M1009, just not as robust, to include two less mounting locations on the floor pan. It was a late 86 build...

Stumbled across this at the County Emergency Management Agency....pumping fuel in my other M1009 some guys says he knows where another CUCV us that won't start and they don't want to mess with it because its 24 Volt.... Couple phone calls and a tow bill later...Score!!! Swapped out batteries...

Thank you sir for the reply...no, did not use any grease, just hooked them back up dry. Put the batteries on the trickle charge last night.....no problem this morning. not sure, but maybe low voltage was the cause.

killing time...being proactive....not sure why, but I decided to clean the dirty looking contacts on my glow plug solenoid. Did them one at a time and got it back together like it came apart. Now.....after about 30 seconds of engine running or key on, the solenoid makes a loud fast clicking...

I've removed what seems to be felt that has been separated from something years ago.....I'm assuming the window tracks should have felt in them. If so, can the felt be sourced and replaced keeping original tracks?

Spent the better part of my "Day Off" Monday replacing master cylinder, rear wheel cylinders and hard lines...brakes functioning as designed...Priceless!! Next up, rear window regulator.
