Does anyone know the part numbers, or even the proper nomenclature, for the seals that keep water from leaking in around the rear top? I can't find anything listed on Rock Auto, and LMC is confusing. What seals, ALL of them, do I need? On LMC it looks like there are two along the bed rails...

Now that the tires are on and the truck can drive down the highway without rattling my teeth loose, next up is some 12 volt power inside the cab. The military didn’t see a need to run a GPS or charge my cell phone, but I do. A few years ago I picked up a three-outlet lighter plug that used to...

My '86 has almost no rust, and it rains for months without stop out here. There's something about Ohio (road salt?) that just eats steel. I've owned two vehicles that started their lives in Ohio, that came by way of military owners to other states. One was a Ford Courier. I put the floor...

Well the tire dilemma is over. I found four BF Goodrich All Terrain TAs, the same ones I have on my Jeep WK, for sale on craigslist. They're almost new; still have the tits on them even. OK, now I need to get them mounted and balanced. After shopping around I ended up back at the auto...

We have two (that I've been to anyway) pull-it-yourself yards out here. The one in Olympia has great prices; they want to move stuff fast and get rid of the hull. The one in Kitsap, which sadly is the one closest to me, seems to price like they're the only game in town. They're forgetting...

Thanks for the info dburd. I was wondering about that since I changed the fluid/filter in mine and all the BX had was VI. Since you're really only changing the oil in the pan I intend to use my electric vacuum pump to pull the oil out through the dipstick tube and refresh it with some new. I...

I've looked through all the TMs and can't find an answer, and can't think of a search term to use in here. What is the purpose of the pad aft of the left wheel well on the M1009? I have one of those over the wheel well truck boxes I want to put there and it's in the way.

I changed the transmission filter today. Sucked out the fluid with my vacuum pump, dropped the pan, started scraping the RTV and gasket off (it had both), called the cops to report a physical DV going on across the street, pulled the old filter out, put the new one in, then… The filter is...

1986 M1009. During the last two cold starts I have noticed the following: Normal start, engine running, everything else normal: The needle in the voltmeter drops into the yellow and I hear a relay clicking somewhere OR I hear a relay clicking somewhere and the voltmeter drops...

I just replaced all the guts in the tailgate window handle on mine using LMC parts. Yes, the clutch is definitely the weak link in the chain- it appears to be just a cheap pot metal casting. The entire window mechanism in mine was bone dry. You'll want to (if you don't get the body shop to...

During an oil change I noticed that my oil fill cap is very loose. It doesn't snug down. Am I correct in believing the cap should snug down tight?

In the second picture it looks like there's a hot air balloon flying by in the distance. ...or a hummingbird feeder in the foreground...

I finally figured out what was clunking in back. The whole truck is noisy and the engine is loud, there are rattles coming from the glove box and various other things that aren't lashed down securely, but there was a loud banging during certain vibrations in the truck that I could not locate...

^^^ I like that color! :!: I really didn't want to spend the money on powder coat right now, especially since the tires are going to be over $500 for almost any AT tire I can find.

I took it over to the Auto Hobby shop on base to put it on the lift. I looked around underneath- checked the u-joints wheels, leaks, etc. Other than some minor oil sheen on the engine and transmission, everything looked good. Once I got home I pulled the...

Welcome! :beer: Like you I just picked up a CUCV and will be learning via the trial-by-fire method. My thread is here, and I will try to keep it up to date. I just finished the Doghead Relay Mod, and recommend you do yours as well. When I pulled my relays down I found there were two there...

Finished the starter relay mod after work today. All connectors are crimped and soldered, heat-shrinked, and capped. After putting it all back together and reconnecting the batteries I turned the key and everything worked as expected...

DogHead Relay Mod abort. I went to NAPA and picked up the relay, no drama it was hanging right on the sales floor. I figured instead of getting just the connectors I need (because I'm almost out of everything) I would pick up the BIG variety pack so I would have plenty on hand Back at home...

After three solid weeks of dead reliability, driving it every day, this morning before work it decided not to start. Turn the key, listen to the annoying buzzer, wait for the WAIT light to go out, turn the key... CLICK. Nothing. Headlights work, nothing left on, try again... CLICK. Called...

I got my ham ticket because I hike to some remote places, often well off the trail system. I have a dual band (2 meter/70cm) in my jeep that can be set up as a cross band repeater. If my handheld radio doesn't have enough punch, I can try to hit the jeep and use the 50 watt radio to push the...
