Here are some pics of the bolt i am talking about. I have circled it in red.

I purchased a NOS swivel type pintel to install on my M1009 since it has the older style mount for the pintel with the giant bolt on the end. Do they have a special tool or wrench for this giant bolt or do I just use a monkey wrench?

Take lots of pics while you are there...we want to all see what you find :)

Awesome idea!

Check this out...this country uses M1008s as an anti tank platform. I tried a search and did not see this stuff posted before so I am hoping its new. Chevrolet M1008 Estoni | Sobchak Security Figured this might give some one an idea to build one with a demilled TOW.

I want to install some of these wire holders like the ones in the rear of M1009 so I can neatly route some wire the military had running along the roof held by duct tape. How much space is between the roof of the cab until the actual roof of the truck, it seems like there is some space in...

Can you purchase the stencil for this warning or will I have to make it my self? I can not seem to find any one who has them.

Check it out, mine was used for a completely unique job... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/58609-wow-my-m1009-belonged-special-unit-check-out-markings-i-found.html

Wow I didn't think there would be this much variety. What color did they come from the factory?

I was going to wire in a magnetic switch behind an empty spot on the metal part of the front dash. I place a magnet over it and it allows the signal from the ignition switch through. When you are finished driving just move the magnet away from the location you installed it. I have seen this...

What color should the tabs be painted that you rotate to engage whether the front wheels are locked or not? Mine look like they have been white at one time, others i have seen on this site were painted red or black.

After reading lots of threads on the subject, one of the draw backs to feeding the GP relay 12 volts directly and skipping over the resistor is that you can no longer slave your CUCV. What if a manual switch is installed after the resistor but before the relay. At one position the voltage...

I have 4 or 5 bad glow plugs in my M1009 I need to change out. I am betting they are swollen so I just ordered one of these things based on your guys recommendations. Figured the $89 it cost is less then the 4 or so hours and 50 or so cuss words that would probably come out of my mouth trying...

I can not find a decent pic in the TMs or online of which direction the fuel tank shield installs. One of the TMs I found shows the tank shield being removed from the tank but no indication of which direction it is installed on the truck itself. When I removed it I forgot to take a picture of...

Now before I swap out these glow plugs I am considering doing a mod. I keep reading about converting the glow plug resistor module to 12 volts so if one glow plug burns out it does not start a cascade effect. Doing a search I came up with references to two mods: 1. Run 12 volts to the GP...

Yea I am gonna just replace them all. The AC Delco 60Gs are supposed to be good plugs, I think I will go with them.

Ever since I got my M1009 the few times I have ran it, it smokes really bad on start up and runs a little rough until it warms up. The smoke is white and smells like unburnt diesel. I am not losing any coolant so its not a head gasket. I got a chance today to check the glow plugs with DMM. I...

I recall seeing one in private hands around 1995 or so....

xylene with a ratio of 4 to 1 Yea I had a respirator on with brand new filters, a paint suite, sealed eye protection, and chemical gloves.

When I took my bumpers off of my M1009 I also removed the lights in the bumpers. The wires were so rotted some of them came apart right at the spot the wire enters the housing. Can these things be taken apart and fixed or do I have to find a replacement?
