Watch out on the bolt sizes with the CUCVs...mine were a mix of metric and standard and it was straight from the Army. Others on here have reported the same thing. According to the TMs I think they are supposed to be metric but that was not the case with mine. Since these were built during...

Yea I could have seen it over on coloradok5 or pirate4x4. But it was definitely a cucv it was in.

I may be mistaken bought I thought I read on this board some one installed a diesel supercharger on there CUCV. Since space is cramped near your exhaust manifolds perhaps that could be an option since it is not powered by the exhaust.

Yea I think I am going to order the rebuild kits. If I am going to have to take them off to replace the regulator i may as well do the entire thing.

Attacked by electrical gremlins and I didn't even feed them after midnight.... Just when I thought I solved all my issues I got hit once again. Here is what I experienced last night. Driving down the road with headlights on and I noticed my water in fuel light came on, my headlights started...

Rick Larson at military stencils. I emailed them and they made me one. I think he should put it on his site because I see a lot of M1009s with this stencil. Home Page I used herculiner. Found it for about $59.00 a gallon at orileys (it was on sale) and bought 2 gallons. I did a ton of...

Any recommendations on a specific product I can pick up locally at lowes?

I noticed that the areas on braces under the hood skin of my hood have separated. Now when I go down the road I can see the hood skin on the passenger side vibrating. I really do not want to weld the braces back to the hood skin because I would have to repaint the vehicle. From what it looks...

This weekend I checked out my transmission fluid level and it was a little low so I added some fluid. I think I overfilled it a little so I crawled under and noticed the pan on my transmission has a drain plug. I thought maybe it was a depo mod but I looked up the pan and it goes to the...

As my previous post in the past has mention my M1009 was full of this very fine sand. I have done just about every thing short of setting it on fire to get ride of it. I am starting to win the war but it is getting costly in terms of consumables. I litteraly wash a few square inches and the...
