This great!! I had no idea! Thank you for the help guys. I’ll go get a new bulb today and start taking the bezel off, etc. I’ll report back! :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I noticed the turn signal light stopped working for my M1009: the blinking signal light located beneath the headlight on the passengers side. Is the bulb a 2057 type? How do you switch out the bulb? It seems to be blocked off. I tried skimming through the TMs, didn’t find it. I figured I ask...

This all sounds good! The old process of elimination! I have printed out the Proper Charts from the TM. I’ll use that as a reference. I’m thinking I may spray a little degreaser around the bottom side of the engine and then rinse it. This will help as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Today I drove the M1009 around then checked it for Oil & Coolant Leaks. I did find a very small coolant leak. If I correct, it could be possibly leaking from the bolt that’s in the lower right corner of the Water Pump. Or one of the other nearby bolts. View from below: View from the...

Now I’m curious, where are the drain plugs on your vehicles? When they replaced the Rear Main Engine Seal, I had them replace the Oil Pump and Oil Pan Gasket as well. Maybe they put a new pan in, or the prior owner did at some point. I have a video of before it got fixed. I’ll check and see...

Hmmm, that’s an idea. I’ll check! Good idea. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

p.s. @ezgn I forgot to mention, I checked all the hoses, clamps, lines, etc. from the radiator, as well as the thermostat. I didn’t find any leaks. As I said before I’ll check again tomorrow after a drive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have the TM, I will look that up and print it out. Thank you for the TM number and the page numbers!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can’t ask the mechanic about the water pump. He did the job about a year ago. I don’t ever want to go there or speak to him. I picked up the CUCV today and once I got home I cleaned up all of the leaked oil around the oil pan and rear of the engine. The pics below are before I cleaned it up...

@ezgn Thanks for responding buddy! I cleaned the water pump up and layed under it with the engine running. I could see the drip forming at the bottom of the pump, like in the picture. But I will take your advice and clean it all up and check again. It certainly won’t hurt. My plan has been to...

Great idea, looking for other Southern California Members! I was thinking that these two repairs could be done by a traditional/regular engine mechanic. The irony is that a regular mechanic replaced the rear main engine seal! He has great reviews on Yelp, I suspect he’s never worked on other...

Thank you for all of the advice! I apologize for taking so long to answer. Tapatalk wasn’t alerting me that I have responses. As far as what needs to be repaired on my M1009. I had the Water Pump and the Plate that Sits behind it replaced last August. I’ve already started to see a small leak...

I’ve asked this before, I have to ask again. Does any one know of any good diesel mechanics in Southern California? I have an M1009 CUCV I have had nothing, but horrible results with all the ones I’ve already tried. Thank you if you have any info.

One thought I’m having. When taking apart the current Rear Main Seal, can’t I check it to see how it’s oriented and if it’s in backwards? If so, that could answer the question as to why it’s leaking? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s a great idea buddy! I just had the Valve Cover Gaskets replaced. We checked them, but they aren’t leaking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So It Was a stupid question! [emoji2957] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@cucvrus I have been suspecting/wondering if they did it wrong. This may be a stupid question, I had the Front & Rear Driveshafts replaced. Is it possible they could have disturbed the Rear Main Seal during all of that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In March of 2021 I had the Rear Main Engine Seal Replaced in my CUCV M1009 6.2L. It’s already starting to leak again. Is this normal? If not, any ideas what could have gone wrong? What is the Best Seal I can use this time around? I recently had the Valve Cover Gaskets Replaced, as well as the...

@ssdvc That’s great man! What a relief!! It’s incredible how just one slight thing can cause something to work or not work. Enjoy the victory! Yea this Forum is awesome and worth every dollar!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@ssdvc Just one last idea. I know you’ve checked things. Just for the heck of it, with the key in the On position (not running just buzzing and the dash lighting up stage), very, very slowly turn each bulb. I had to do that to get my Gen 2 bulb to light it up. It only lights in one tiny spot...
