for some reason I cant open that Link, I just wanted to hear actual experiences ... I did a research for myself aswell And for gluing: If it can glue helicopter blades together I think its way more hazardous than CARC ..that must be serious stuff. I think I´d rather stick with the welder... (I...

Well I have a replacement "weld in" part so I just have to cut the bad area out & weld the new one in, will 2" of clean metal to the paint be enough or how much space should be sanded ? I think I will weld outside when its not windy, or near to the door with both open in the garage, that should...

So finally I got the possibility to buy a decent MIG welder (its old, but I tried it in the "shop" of the guy I bought it from, its doing really nice welds & everything works as it should) and I paid just a "few" bucks :clinto: and got even a full gas bottle with it! ..So nothing can stop me...

Welcome to the site! I have a M1009 and use it as daylie sometimes, if your ok with the sound inside the cab I think its a great vehicle. due to its 3.08 gears it gets a really high fuel mileage, a M1008 with same tire size (I have 33x12.5s on it, thats also the biggest size you can put on...

Today I replaced the "rear pinion seal" (is that the correct term?) ..it was leaking diff oil if you drove for more than a hour, when it was hot it started to drip. So I decided it had to be done before the winter hits us (snow already on the "Feldberg" Mountain near me :cookoo: ...I´m also 800m...

Guess thats a dream coming true? Dually CUCV :drool: nice score & good luck with it !

Now thats a nice truck! for that price you could never get a running CUCV over here.... welcome to the green iron addiction... I consider selling my "modern civi" pickup for a 1008 or 1028, I really dont like electronic controlled Vehicles :P those army trucks need alot of love, always...

You should make sure all contacs are clean&good, everywhere! I had a bad contact at the busbar on the firewall + a chattering gp-relay and therefore no start. Same symptoms as you describe! Replaced it but it didnt run yet, controllercard was fried aswell... replaced that and no problems since...

well even the CUCV crowd over here in germany orders most parts at rockauto.com, I had 1 damaged item in about 3 yrs (6.5td Aircleaner) ...took me 2 minutes to fill out the online-formular and within 2hrs I got an email which confirmed the new part was on the way (for exactly 0.0$ - shipped to...

Yesterday I spent my first holiday this year under my CUCV :grd: , replaced axle shaft seal and c-clip, cleaned the diff, put a new gasket & fresh oil in and so far it seems all fine (The M1009 is the daylie now since my 6.5td K1500 quit starting...thats why it had to be done as quick as...

in my M1009 there was some DOT 4 , a shop replaced a brake hose and filled up the wrong fluid, so it had a mix (on a pre pre owner...) and I had a strange goo in the master cylinder, + about 2 yrs after that it started leaking everywhere so I replaced ANYTHING rubber on the brake system and...

well then id say its a bit too much, it was in 4low and diggin through the mud... something is not correct with yours

my 6.2 does smoke when pushing the pedal hard, I´d say thats pretty normal. In idle or when running in a smooth speed it shoulndt smoke, only under heavy load / accelerating hard / hills etc. the only video of my m1009 throwing smoke is the mudbog one .. as said, its amout of smoke seems...

Yesterday I took my M1009 to a local mudbog event (very very rare in germany !) and we had lots of fun there :D oh and heres a short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UprjTiqiZq8

The only engine in a vehicle used by me with a pre-lube system was a CATERPILLAR 775E Quarry Truck with a 28L V12 Turbodiesel (~800 HP) ..I dont think its necessary on a 6.2, just do oil changes regularly and you should be good.

To prevent this from happening just put some fresh oil or grease on the Oil Filter Seal ;) then tighten it by hand only! When you do your next oil change it will come off easy with a strap style filter wrench or with just strong hands ;)

Oh didnt know that its Mr. Crusty, did follow the thread but not to the point where it got painted etc. came out nice! really like that camo..

that winter-camo K30, is it a CUCV with a civi frontclip or a civi with army shakle-mounts? ..nice herd man :D

Welcome to the site! its a Diesel so dont floor the pedal when the engine is cold, nor pour gas in it ;) ..if you want you can add some 2stroke oil (around 250ml on a full tank) to help lube the Injection Pump. change the engine oil regularly, roughly every 5k miles or so. Always oil & filter...

dont you have problems with the fan throwing water into the aircleaner and therefor killing the engine when you are in "brakepedal" deep water :? ..thats what I fear ...
