I also have a 24/7 hd night vision camera pointed at my parking spots <of course doesnt help...

    what branch/unit did your cucv serve with?

    Trying to find out what I can about my m1009. I found out it was from the 424th Maintenance Co out of Rolla MO. <Thank you again Carnac> Now I need to do some digging and find out how to make proper vehicle markings for the vehicle. I might call the 424th and find out if they have any info.

    Oil on the floorboard?

    I have the same problem going on right now. I actually met up with ranchhopper who was kind enough to change glow plugs for me, which I am still grateful for. I showed him the puddle and he said it's from the hydroboost. Watch your power steering level. It does whine when the fluid gets down. I...

    Worried about these new glow plugs

    Yes. should have clarified. the spade terminals connected to the wires register power, but the plugs are not. I made a typo also it's 3/8 not 4/8 bad. This multimeter test was performed at the place where I bought the m1009. Unfortunatly they wont help work on my truck lol. I will definatly...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    here are the pics of the antenna and brush guard paint, as well as the radio rack I recently put in. I was surprised how nice the spray paint looked, as it was not carc, but it's a little out of place since my m1009 is a little faded. *dont mind the starter fluid can in the rack pic, havent used...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Well not "today" but over the past week. Some might laugh, some might judge lol, but I went to the place where I picked up my M1009 to see if they would accept her for trade.

    Why the fuss?

    I bought my m1009 for a few reasons. I support the Armed Forces, I've seen a picture here of a steel soldiers t-shirt that said "we support the troops by preserving their past" That's one of the reasons I bought this m1009. While I cant join the military for health reasons, I can still support...

    fuse box HELP

    I wired a cb radio into my 1009. It's the Cobra 29 army limited edition. What I did was just run the power wire through the fire wall and straight to the front battery. I've read that the front battery still provides 12v but if you hook up to the back battery, that's the 24v system. I grounded...

    This newbie is done!

    Well, it looks like I am keeping her a bit longer, the reserve was hit, and the buyer backed out, and the second chance person didnt want her either. It's all good, I'll give it another try in a little bit, but at least I know she's up and running decently for now. And I like your comment, if...
