I moved all my gauges up here, it's just a 1/8" aluminum sheet. If/when I ever add A/C it's going to vent out through that bezel you're looking for. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

Thought up another question: Chains needed? Rear wheels or all 4? I have 37" Humvee tires. Will a limited slip or locker in the front diff help? I have no experience with chains Thank you for replies Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

I have seen posts of people mixing in 10-25% gasoline into their diesel to combat gelling and ease starting at the low Alaskan winter temps. Anyone with experience in this? Also... Diesel number 1. Is that a thing up north? I've never seen it anywhere I've lived. Sent from my LM-G710 using...

I'm not understanding the purpose of the 205* thermostat. I have a 190* in right now and it never even gets close to that on these chilly 40* days Are there any other ways of heating the engine (or ensuring it starts) aside from the swingfire when the car is parked away from a power source...

Thanks for showing your post: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/1986-cucv-m1009-decade-after-being-wrecked.173878/page-19#post-2220456 Would you be able to describe where you installed it? I'm not able to tell from your pictures Oh wait just kidding. that looks like the oil pan on the side :)

So I just found out I'm getting sent to Alaska, most likely towards the end of this year. I want to get ahead of the game and prep my m1009 for the cold. I found Jatonka's grille cover, going to get that. Plug in block heater, shouldn't be too hard to install. But is there a specific one I...

Don't think I posted this yet. But made a diy control/gauge cluster a few months ago. Mostly to have the tachometer in my line of sight while driving. It's a 1/8" aluminum sheetmounted with some fat washers through the dashboard. Its labeled so wifey can drive the truck properly when she needs...

@emeralcove It is lifted, 4" on the front and 5" on the back. Offroaddesign sells the kit configured for any amount of lift (or none). If you have specific questions to their kit you can call them, they'll talk you through it. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

Installed off-road design's crossover steering (including new steering box) and kingpin spring eliminators. Steering previously was super loose and crooked. (Think 80s truck driver movies) These kits fixed it right up. It's a world of difference. Very little slop now on the steering, and it's...

Is this still a thing? I'm new to Benning. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

I don't have my cucv handy to measure. Probably depends how the receiver is mounted Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

Going to get me one of these: https://www.wilcooffroad.com/shop/hitchgate-offset/ PO put a class IV hitch receiver on mine under the pintle. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

Check your connections behind the gauge. One is ground, one is resistance from the fuel tank sending unit, one is 12v. Many people have issues with the resistance signal not making it to the gauge. For me, I lost the 12v powering the gauge.

I just replaced mine and they all had "10.5v" stamped on them. But I haven't had to mess with the glow plug system yet so I am no expert. I can add that with rebuilt starter, new batteries and warm outside the fastest its ever started was after 2 cha-cha's Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

Wife is gonna drive it round the lot every so often. I'm about to leave for army stuff. I've put a little less than 10k miles on it since getting it 5 years ago. What is a regular basis for glow plugs? Going to seafoam in the fuel tank and call it good for now. Sent from my LM-G710 using...

Thank you Jesus! By far the most frustrating thing so far! Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

That's the plan. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

Swollen and broken glow plug. Oh man. Its the a.c. delco 60g that everyone here seems to like. All the others came out fine. Had 3 different brands in there. Trying the trick to pull out the end through the injector hole but ran out of daylight. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk
