    Alternator Issue

    Right, found my issue sort of. Hackjob wiring is my issue. Random 12v lead spliced to instrument cluster plug. Stock configuration it's not there... *Snip* Issue is solved Parking brake light doesn't work anymore but, for the most part alt is charging correctly. The wait light, 4x4 light...

    Alternator Issue

    All assembled correctly. The new regulator says USA on it New voltage regulator does not cause squeal. But still not outputting around 14.8v. At least I can drive it and it won't sound like a shit box. Co workers are tired of my "alternate" car and want to see the "big green menace" lol...

    Alternator Issue

    Lots of alternator posts from what I can see. Going to add my own. Had a whine coming from one of the alts, couldn't tell which so decided to rebuild both. Rebuilt passenger Alt, no issues. Rebuilt driver alt, whine now appears at higher rpms and output voltage does a yo-yo from 9v to around...

    Electric Gremlins (No Power)

    Not my picture, I don't want to take mine apart again, but... There's a large (larger than the other ones) spade connector right behind the bolt in this picture. The wire that connected this to the 12v source on the firewall was bad. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

    Electric Gremlins (No Power)

    Holy crap well that nightmare is over. PO replaced a fusible link with this fuse holder. Fuse inside was so melted I couldn't even tell what amperage it was. Fuse holder itself was melted too. No continuity. Guesstimating 15A. We'll see if the link melts This magnetic lead tester was awesome...

    Electric Gremlins (No Power)

    I am attempting to return my m1009 to stock wiring (for the most part), with regards to the GP and starting wiring. I am having some issues. What I had and what I've done so far: PO put a 6.5 IP in. It recently died. Got a rebuilt 6.2 IP from Badger Diesel. The 6.5 IP was drawing power from...

    6.2L rear main seal replacement

    I just did mine, in the Fairbanks winter, in my garage. Its not hard and not that easy either. There are videos on youtube. I followed one of them. I did not need to drop trans or jack my front end up, only the flywheel bottom cover had to come off. You may need to manually rotate the engine...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Rear main seal replacement. Old rope seal came apart in my fingers. I could only find about half of the original seal, the rest looked disintegrated. Thought I was about to snap my breaker bar getting those bearing cover bolts out, don't think I've ever seen it bend that much. Only took about 7...

    CUCV in Alaska

    Now that I'm actually in Alaska... Do you have a source for the 205 t-stat? Having trouble finding one. For the rest of it, I ended up adding the 1000w block heater, 80w battery warmer x2, battery charger, 40w fuel filter heater. Found some 24bolt humvee rims with the matching load range e...

    M1009 Tailgate Seal

    Found the source finally. Happened to be sitting in there when a deluge started. The seals between the top and the sides of the bed. Temporary fix for now. After I'm done moving I'll do it properly. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

    M1009 Tailgate Seal

    All the trees started shedding pollen and then we got a heavy rain. I was able to see some pollen tracks on the inside of the truck. I think the problem was the antenna wire grommets on either side of the top. (The water just happened to pool by the tailgate) I saw someone's idea to use chair...

    Humvee Runflats

    Just pulled these out of the rims I bought. If there a market for these or does the trashman get 4 presents? They're brand new, 8 years ago. Looks like the wheels were never mounted, just sat in a warehouse. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    M1009 Tailgate Seal

    I seem to be missing a seal on my tailgate for the access panel on the inside. I'm getting water leaking in during rain, might be because of this. #5 on the attached picture but it says suburban. But sure looks like a blazer tailgate. There is no seperate section for blazer tail gates that I...

    Created a problem. rear duramax brakes, stock master

    I ran into the same issue troubleshooting spongy brakes. Wasn't getting enough fluid to rear. Solution was: - 1980 corvette master cylinder. Same port and bore sizes as stock m1009 (may have to do some line bending for the pickups), but much bigger fluid capacity. - 2lb residual valve on the...

    Hydraboost Help

    When mine went out, I went through 3 of them from the auto parts place before I got a working refurb. I don't know what else to suggest other than to keep trying different units. Could you not find adapters instead for the -an to inverted flare (I think) that the stock unit uses. I don't think...

    24v-12v Transformer

    Thank you that was very thorough and informative. The idea was to run the glow plugs off of it. Two batteries at -30* have more oomph than just one. I guess I can find me a resistor for that. The original design works best (go figure lol) I will try to find a converter for the jump start...

    24v-12v Transformer

    As part of my winterization (for Alaska) I want to get away from using the front battery only for my 12v source. I have the resistor delete set up right now. I read the CUCV-II's use a step down transformer instead of the resistor. I found an old thread with a link to this...
