Well we had this on some of our older M1008 and five tone trucks at 29 Palms. The black star is Army, never seen the star on a USMC vehicle, unless dispatched from an Army Moror Pool on an Army base.... but that is what green duck tape was for.

Yep, so now my M1009 has a blown head gasket on the driver side of the motor. I have not been losing any coolant or overheating. Just loosing about a quart of oil per 6 hours of drive time and can see it lslowly leaking from seal. I agree that Fel-Pro gaskets and using ARP studs with thread...

AC Delco 24volt Starter Part numbers: 10461453, 10465015, 10479611 These will work in any 6.2L diesel that are found in the CUCV series military vehicles. Automatic or Manual, M1008, M1009 or M1010. Take a look on E-bay or O'Rieliey's Auto Parts.

Tightening a hose clamp on the return fuel line solved the entire issue with hard turn overs like a charm. Thankfully the fuel pump and filter are still houlding togeather. Though as you know once you solve one problem in an old vehicle, you discover another, and now I have notied an oil leak...

:ditto: Yep! N.C. Highway Tax Enforcement (NC Troopers) are under a lot of pressure by the State to bring in as much revenue as possiable.... thus checking diesel tanks.

Utah CUCV, Great words of wisdom, found a small fuel leak and thus sucking air. Right behind the Passanger side Alternator, where the fuel line (return to tank line) comes off from the engine, right at the point were the fuel line goes from metal tube to rubber hose, the hose clamp needed...

Lucky! It looks to be in a fairly good shape and has not been bubba-fied out (like all the ones I see here...).

After the M1009 sits longer than the majical 11 hours, I have to keep cranking her to start her at all. When you turn the ignition, the volt meter bottoms out all the way, if you continue to hold the key in the "start" posisition, the starter tries to crank the engine, but the engine will not...

Okay, so the air temperature is just about freezing at about midnight... I hope outside into my M1009, and she cranks up like a dream. BUT I would expect for her to since She last was running before sunset, about 6 to 7 hours ago. When she sits for closer to 11 hours, it is still a painful...

To Lindyp38, I would check to see if you have a dead cell in one of your batteries, and thus are unable to hold the charge that is running off from your alternators. Run over to your auto shop in a box store, and have them to a quick free battery test.

Would a faulty battery relay (if their is such a thing...) between the battery and the starter cause the volt meter to bottom out when one is trying to crank over a cold engine, and make cranking the engine very painfully difficult? Once the engine has been running for awhile, and then turned...

*The alternators are new, and installed yesterday, they are both producing plenty of voltage, and the batteries are new red top Optimas with 1000 cranking amps and 800 Cold Cranking Amps, new 24 volt Starter and solenoid were put in a month ago. * New American made Mil-Spec Glow plugs were...

Thank you for your reply, I will take another look at the in dash Voltage guage. Per chance would ou happen to know what the NSN, or a comparitable Part Number would be for this Voltage Resistor on the back of the guage? Regards, IYAOYAS

In my CUCV M1009, 24 Volt system: *Gen 2 light in dash comes on and stays dimly lit when enginge is running. *Voltmeter stays near the red or in the red, even with high beams and fan blower on high. * While the engine is in idle, the two new alternators are togeather producing 29.30 volts...
