and I apologize in advance because I couldn't remember how to post and wound up here

So, I haven't been on the site for over 3 years due to multiple deaths in my family and then my own struggle with Covid, so here goes. My 1984 M1009 has basically sat for 3 years without starting. We changed out the batteries and have it running. My issue is, on my last State Inspection in 2017...

My issue atarted during Hurricane Sandy apparently. I used the truck extensively and it was subjected to a lot of salt water. My voltmeter and fuel gauge stopped working. I was using it as a daily driver, and decided to give it a rest. a few moths later, I took it out and could not shift out of...

I know this information is on this site, but I am having trouble downloading the TM's and the illustrated parts catalog that are posted for the cucv's. I am trying to find out what the OEM or Military parts number is for the front axle spindle on the 1984 series M1009. I know its shorter than...

OK, after letting the truck sit for over 10 weeks I finally removed the drivers side hub and rotor. The spindle is wiped out. The threads are gone. The wheel bearing was basically ground into metal chips. I was able to pull the hub and rotor off without removing the lockout hub retainer ring. I...

We jacked up the truck. There is a tremendous wobble when we spin the tire. You can physically shake the tire on the spindle. So, I know we have a bad wheel bearing. When I lock the locking hub, the tire continues to spin freely, so I'm thinking that the lockout hub is bad also. Anyone have the...

Thanks for the link joshuak, I'll check it out. Cucvrus, if you have a complete set that you want to sell, send me a private message.

I haven't torn it down yet. There's 24" of snow on the ground. I'm just thinking that if I have to take things apart to diagnosis the problem, I might as well replace what's there now as pm for the future.

Any suggestions on where to buy the locking hubs? I want to stay as close to original as possible.

There's a blizzard heading towards New York, so nothing will get done this week.

We did look at the u joint earlier. The passenger side axle does seem to move more freely than the drivers side. I have to research whether or not this is a job we can do in the driveway, and the pricing and availability of the parts.

Need some help or advice on this one. My 1984 M1009 developed a bumping noise in the left front. My 18 year old son has been driving it lately, and told me about the noise he was hearing. I took it out today for what I thought would be a short test drive. Got about a block from home and started...

Thanks for the info

Is there a special web site for tracing the vin # ? My m1009 is marked on the bumper "csms" and "auto" followed by either a 3,6 or 8. I was told by the seller that it he belived it was a new jersey national guard vehicle. I found a placard marked cwo4 ok. I would like to pass it on if any...

I think i will keep the heater core that i bought for a while. It was a special order, so returning it might be a problem. As far as the under dash controls, it looks like everything is working ok, but i plan on disconecting the cable to the blend door to see if i can get it to open further.
