CUCVRUS--I don't think it is for the Hummer. It is a black cylindrical structure that fits into the opening of the air filter housing. I found it on Ebay.

Hello--I have recently purchased an air horn that fits onto our air filter housing in my M1009. However, I am having trouble orienting it so that it fits into the engine bay. If it is oriented towards the left front head light, it runs into the heater hose. If I orient it towards the right...
Hello. I have recently purchased a cold weather grill cover for my M1009. I am at a loss as to how to install it. I understand that the snaps install on top of the radiator support, but, the lower part doesn't fit. Do you have to remove the bumper to install it? Thanks in advance.

Hello--does anyone know the towing capacity for the 1009? I am sure that it is somewhere in the TM's but I just did not want to dig through them. Thanks in advance

Thanks to all that responded. Yes, a couple of the bolts that secure the power steering pump went missing and the last one had almost backed out totally. A few new bolts installed, and that is all we needed. I should have noticed that the power steering pulley was wobbling horribly.

Hello-I am looking for a "dog head" relay. Does it have another name? Can someone suggest a location or part number where I might find one? Thanks in advance

Doghead--I checked the section on ebay on CUCV parts and there seem to be several isolated grounded alternators for sale--all in about the $200.00 range. Are these not what I am looking for?
the bearings are probably shot in the alternator and that is why it makes the grinding noise. It still produces electrical power, however, but the grinding seems to be getting worse. It just make sense to replace it, as it not that expensive.
