Oh....the CUCV is starting fine after the glow plug relay replacement. No more Gremlins have shown up this week either. Keeping my fingers crossed! Scooter... Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk

I purchased a winch mounting bracket from Engineered Vintage for the CUCV off Ebay. It works for the most part. I really liked the design since it allows a winch mounted behind the bumper without changing the bumper or moving it. At $500+ this was no easy decision but considering design time...

I posted this in my other thread M1009 has no power now that it's warmer in AZ?. I'll put more details in this thread. I installed the Tiny Tach at the same time I put in the rebuilt IP pump. It sure is nice to have for adjustments, diagnosing issues and general knowledge of what's happening...

I adjusted the IP timing to roughly 6 degrees advanced, little to no smoke but a little engine clatter which went away when it was warm. Fair enough and to be expected with too much advance. It idled pretty darn smooth with good throttle response with no load. I brought it back to roughly 2 to 3...

I'm working through problem of the M1009 running until it's up to temp and then having no start issues on the other thread. I completed this filter housing swap today and thought others may be interested if it's not already been done. I used a 6.5 diesel fuel filter assembly with heater, primer...

Glad you were able to get one. New ones are apparently non existent. I'll figure something out eventually! I had to get a tow home today, now I have to figure that out. I started a new thread regarding what I'm working through here...

Okay, it will work with the extended hitch if I omit one fuel can. At least I can still carry one back there while towing the trailer. The 2nd picture is with the short hitch, I had no fuel cans loaded up just in case and it's a good thing. I would have probably hit the trailer if I had a fuel...

I received the ball/hitch. I'll connect the trailer later this morning to see if it's going to give me enough clearance between the fuel cans and the front of the trailer when turning. If not, I'll be buying a tent! I may get one anyway so I don't need to deal with a trailer. I just hope I can...

I managed to get the trans temperature gauge/kit installed today. I used a 2" hole saw and a deburring tool to finish the fit. If I'd used a 2-1/16 inch hole saw which is the diameter of the hole needed for this gauge, the hole would have been too sloppy. A hydraulic punch kit with the proper...

Well thanks! Much appreciated sir. My hope; like so many others here is to contribute enough information, ideas or inspiration for others to tinker/learn and get out to enjoy their respective vehicles. There are so many excellent builds and ideas here, it's just awesome. I learn something every...

Still nothing on the turbo; so, I'm picking away at other ideas. Considering I'm hoping to tow the trailer with the M1009, I bought a transmission temperature gauge. They sure did not give the driver much to go on back in the day. By the time the "idiot" or trouble lights ever came on the goose...

Not a hitch extension/extender if that's how my post read. It's just regular Curt 2" hitch but longer than standard. the longer hitch has far more capacity than I would ever attempt to pull with the M1009 even if it could do it. I think the longer hitch has a rating of 7500lbs, I don't remember...

I rebuilt this 71 Shasta trailer many years ago. I had some spare time today and figured I'd make sure my civi trailer connections work and give it a spin around the block. The wiring worked and to my surprise it towed effortlessly with the M1009. I was a bit worried it would be horribly slow...

I boxed in the risers and got them painted. I also installed the anti-destruct mechanism for the tailgate. I'm not in love with the look or the location but I had to attach it to the part that needs to move out of the way in order to prevent the inevitable tailgate destruction. So, this project...

Thanks, I completed the tire carrier and it's one of those rare items that actually turned out the way I had it in my head on the first attempt! I managed to retain access to all tow related items without needing to swing the carrier out of the way. I still have easy use of the Pintle, window...

Slowly inching forward...finally! The tire carrier is a Smittybilt XRC 2 and I'm making the mounting bracket/adapter to utilize the original M1009 tow points. This way, I can leave everything as stock as possible. I ordered the steel for the tow point online which was a match for the original...

After what seems like forever, I managed to get a little done. I hope you are all doing well! I ran a strip light in the back, found a new storage box that fits great, and the lid opens up inside. Put in a "Jerry Can" tool box from Rampage, if you've not seen them, the Jerry Can is actually a...

Good luck on your M1009 search, they are out there! Yeah, my wife is pretty cool. Scooter... Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk

Oh! I picked mine up in AZ for $5500 from a gentlemen who's health was getting the better of him. Keep looking, you'll find one! I'd been wanting one for years but my wife never understood. After the accident, I needed a vehicle to get back to work until the insurance mess was sorted out. I...

15 amps max at 24v with 12 gauge wire and a 15 amp fuse. Tested load at 13 amps no issues so far. The outlet sir? I picked up at Home Depot. Scooter... Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk
