Sun and nothing else to do today, so I decided to do the engine oil & filter change, since the oilpan had some little rust I decided to sand it & spray some new paint over it, no heavy rust but it did just not look nice.

Uhm I think just optional like AC etc. .. mine has a foldable armrest in the middle of the backseat, no skitunnel

Since Summer is over here and its about to get cold in the "Black Forest" I drove my Chevy to work for few days, need to get the "summer-diesel" out so I can top off with "ubergangs-diesel" and about november they start to sell "winter-diesel" .. I really dont want to get a clogged filter and a...

quick answer from another german CUCV: Spannhülse when my M1009 is parked at work it is in line of sight, try stealing my shackles and you get a hit with the CAT crawler Loader or the 385C ...

over here in germany people say: if you buy cheap, you buy twice. I found out thats true, the tools I buy are never the cheap ones...same goes for spare parts etc.

Useful or not, I like my CUCV topless...but since its a single-cab M1009 the hardtop is a real job to get on & off... I dont do that often..so most of the time I carry it with me Oh and I did some things today aswell: Repaired a broken brake Line, threw in a new master cylinder, completely...

Today I replaced my front calipers with some rebuild ones, also put on new rotors & wheel bearings, the rotors look rusty because someone had them in the basement for few years and never put them to use... those studs were really nasty to get out, almost broke my tool before they moved... but...

do drips fall to the ground? my driver side head looks almost the same, but I never had to fill up any oil ..since I do the oil change regulary... but Id say its 95% the gasket

I would not worry about that, since the most "cooling jobs" are done by the radiator there should be no problems... I never had any issues with overheating anything, I think an extra transmission radiator is just needed when you do hardcore towing..for which a m1009 is probably not the right...

should be possible, somehow my CUCV must have made it to Netherlands and then to Germany ...and I never had any paperwork issues... just like it was a normal delivery Truck for low taxes :D

Awesome vehicles :D .. seeing trucks like that makes me think I need a trucking license & a deuce ...

I run 33s and have no Lift, since I dont use it for hard offroad it works just fine. and with even a 2" Lift it would no longer fit in my garage... I really want to use it daylie during Summer..or atleast until they get the salt on the roads here...then its going to sleep again few months

Mower with a 6.2 Diesel? awesome,,but maybe a bit to oversized for average lawn :D ..and no, i dont have a mower deck under it, just a new transmission oilpan with bleeding screw ^^ and that Pickup looks kinda "fordish" ...and I miss the usual "brushguard" & signs, numbers etc. I dont think...

You can verify if your theromostat is working correctly even without a gauge: Start you CUCV when the engine is cold, then wait ~2 minutes and then put your hand on the big hose on the drivers side, it should be cold or atleast handwarm (depends on outside temp.) then put your hand on the water...

Im 90% sure its a dead battery / bad connection, if your Batteries are 100% good it could be a messy connection point right under that small plastic cover behind the batteries where all the thick cables head to. I once had exactly those symptoms on a 87' BMW e30 , if started cold it was like...

Well, I am used to tow out 40Ton Trucks a few times a day (if its rainy or muddy) with a 40Ton Wheel-Loader. You definetely dont want to be near the Cable when it breaks, dunno how hard it hits on a 3ton Truck but on those big toys a snatching cable can cut you in half, if you got bad luck. I...

Hey Steelsoldiers, does anyone know what the 2 smaller black relays next to the starter relay are for? couldnt find anything on the web and I´m just curious. Thanks

Thats one nice solution . I covered mine with tape & a plastic mug which I cut a bit shorter & made room for the cables :D

Now that I have a new Controller Card & a new GP Relay I can say that my "doghead" mod works great ! Truck starts perfectly and I hope it will do so for a long time now :)

cleaned all cable connections again, put the 2 fresh loaded batteries, a new GP-Relay and the new Controller Card into it. Fine glow, no chattering relays. Light went out and i turned the key into start: And sudenly there was the long missed "rattle rattle rattle" from the 6.2 Diesel Engine :)...
