    M1009 Turn signal / Fuel gauge

    I have not been able to figure this one out. In my M1009, when I turn on the right turn signal, the fuel gauge starts dropping with each click. Once I shut it off, it slowly climbs back to the level where it started. Doesn't matter if the lights are on or off, and it doesn't do it when I turn...

    Ft Campbell

    I was looking at the M101 trailers in the upcoming Ft. Campbell auction. Looks like they have a bunch, but if I am reading it correctly, they are selling them in lots of 2. Is that normal?

    fuel gauge bouncing

    Fuel gauge bounce My fuel gauge works fine, until I turn on the turn signal. With each click, it drops 1/16 of a tank. Once the turn in complete, it slowly goes back up to where it belongs. I think it must be a ground issue. Where is the fuel gauge grounded?

    Best Thing You've Found in Your CUCV

    I would say it depends on who it might have belonged to. If you found a soldiers wedding band, for example, I say return it. If it was some piece of govt. equipment, its yours to keep.

    Jumpseat in M1009

    Anybody ever add an extra 'jumpseat' in the back of an M1009? I have 4 kids and a wife. We can't all fit. I am looking for suggestions. I remember the station wagons of my childhood sometimes had rear facing seats. Your thoughts, ideas, and pictures would be appreciated.

    Spare tire info

    I am looking for a spare tire for my M1009. What civilian trucks rims will fit? I know they are 15 x 8 , 6 lug wheels, but the junk yards around here seem to have a hard time crossing it to a more "modern" truck. What advice do you all have? Thanks!

    Fuel Gauge, dash lights, etc - my new M1009

    dash lights Nope, wasn't the fuse. That was the first thing I checked. It's been so dang cold, I haven't been able to spend much time looking at it. Fuel gauge not working yet either, BUT, after reading some of the other problems people have, I feel pretty lucky.
