There is definitely a fuel leak somewhere near the the pump. I'm getting drop of diesel dripping down off the converter housing right behind the oil filter. I had what appeared to be a birds nest under the air cleaner/intake manifold. When i got all the hay and grass out of there, i shined...

So after sitting for over 7 years, I finally got my 85 M1009 running. She came to me without either of the alternators, dead as can be batteries and with a bad starter. Got the starter replaced and she cranked. Drained the fuel tank, changed oil and filter and got her turned over and running...

Just got my CUCV running (needed new starter) and also just replaced the drivers side alternator. I have my pass side ready to go and mounted, but have not connected it since I am unsure of the wiring. I see two 10g red wires - one has an orange line with an inline fuse in it - and the 2 pin...

Did you install that screw and washer to hold the shift indicator cable? I removed my bezel, and now the shift indicator cable came loose and not sure where it was connected in the first place.

Actually I may take you up on that when the weather isnt raining every day here since I'd be doing this in my driveway. I found the replacment sock on Amazon of all places and got that ordered. Figured get it now since I'm sure I will need it.

SUCCESS!! Got the oil drained and refilled, put 5 gal fuel with some StarTron and decided to go ahead and try to fire her up. Took little over a dozen attempts, but she finally turned over and stayed on. I felt all tingly for a few minutes sitting in there. I let her idle for a good 15...

I did not know that. I thought i saw a post on the site that someone mentioned that the port is used to get water out of the tank if needed and that the tube on the inside went to the bottom. I see you have worked on several tanks, so you know better than me. Yes I do want to get the sending...

Well not knowing exactly how long it had been in there I didn't want to take the chance of running bad fuel in there to maybe complicate things later. my mechanic buddy thought it'd be a good idea to get some fresh oil and fresh fuel in there before i went trying to turn her over. he's a...

I almost couldn't see it cause it was in such bad shape - but got it off and started the flow. Thought the 7 year old diesel would look worse than it is - a urine color. better safe than sorry i guess. thanks everyone!

Does anyone have a method to drain out their fuel tank? I have half tank of ~6-7 year old diesel in my tank. I just got my started replaced and know that she cranks, but i did not want to try to start any further til i could drain the tank. I got a bottle of diesel conditioner to hopefully...

Anyone have the part number for the oil drain plug handy for a 85 CUCV?

Can anyone in NoVA recommend a mobile mechanic or maybe a hobbyist who is looking for some side work familiar with the CUCV's? Right now I want to get my new starter and alternators installed. That will dictate my next move. If she cranks, I will want to replace glow plugs, injectors, etc -...

we'll have to agree to disagree. I'm an electronics test engineer by trade and have been for 16+ years, and while chinese manufactured items do work, they are not built for quality, but rather quantity. I'm sure all the units you saw did pass QC/Accpetance Testing, but I'll be there were no...

Be careful with the China job alternators - hear they dont last long. Filter Products Corp has the correct alternators as well. And they ship fast - i ordered my starter from them and got here in 3 days.

Also, FYI you could always claim your trailer has been abandoned on your property. If you do that, you can submit thru DMV to take possesion of the abandoned trailer on your property and obtain a title. The process is laid on the DMV website and may be a easy viable solution for you to get a...

I ended up using cartitles.com to get me Vermont paperwork all worked up so I can register my CUCV in VT, then take the VT registration to the VA DMV and have them convert that VT registration into a VA title. VT does not title vehicles over 15 years old, so you only get registration and tags...

How do you figure? I just gone one last month (haven't installed yet) for my driver's side and it looks right to me besides from the pulley being too small, which i am correcting by replacing with the hillbilly pulleys. obviously this unit is not an isolated ground alternator, but that would...

I bought one from the Filters Pro website and it arrived in 2 days.....have not yet installed it. That site is not a scam.

how did you connect the wires? meaning did the polarity matter when hooking up the old wires to the new pigtail?

I have been nothing but nice whe Did you have an SF-97 or just a bill of sale? Did you fill out a VSA-12 Affidavit in lieu of title? I'm looking for an apples to apples comparison in terms of what paperwork is required. If a SF-97 is present, then they should present a title without...
