I think the horn works on grounding the relay. Like the power is there all the time and the button completes the ground. Not 100% sure. Electrical is my weak area. I know enough to get by and am happy I know that much.

I may be wrong but the only difference between the 2 hydro boost assemblies is the flanged bracket that mounts them on the firewall. The military NOS came completely assembled in a box/foil wrapped. I looked them up and they were the same part number without the mounting flange. I used them on...

Do you have the starter support bracket in place. That support bracket is one of the most important parts on the starting system.

We have all had days like this. I started out putting my tools away and as the day went on other things came to mind. I did get all my tools put away and the shop floor is swept clean. Then I thought I would try and find a few inner front fender nuts; I know I have them but where? I dumped out a...

The thread size you have listed is correct. Metric is correct. Just get 6.2 diesel starter bolts and use an SAE washer. Just 1 washer or if you are lucky, you will get flange bolts.

Did the horn blow after you jumped across the relay connection?

Does it blow if you jump across the relay?

I was out early this AM trying to beat the heat. I had 2 cab mounts left from the kit and then it struck me. They are for the radiator core support. I changed them. They were easy since I had that core support off 25 years ago and replaced the hardware at that time. I used the big green pry bar...

It is 2 of them. I had them for driveway ornaments and was tired of weed whacking around them. I think you need them up in Connecticut. I know someone else needs them. I had a thought of putting the wheels on an M1009 and styling.

I have decided that after seeing that rough M1009 and also seeing the price of parts for the older trucks I am going to spend the time and money getting the 1986 OEM M1009 frame sandblasted and painted. I am sure I will find a buyer for it. I have it sitting here since 1999. It arrived as a...

My Son got that for me as a Christmas gift. I never need anything bigger than that. If I do I have other issues. I fixed a lot of bent stuff with that bar. It is a Snap-On I never ask what he paid for it. I had a prybar I made, and he never liked it because I was always slipping off with it.

I mentioned that the caged nuts for the rear bumper outer brackets are lost with the new Energy Suspension body mounts. I am fine with that; I just upgrade to 1/2" and hold the bolts from the hole in the rear of the frame. I had the brackets powder coated 25 years ago. Bolt placed in from the...

I reinstalled the 4WD shifter. I used Stainless steel bolts because I have a lot of them. And you will never see them anyway. I looked underside and hooked up the linkage to the transfer case. I noticed that the speedometer cable just swings in the breeze, and I added a rubber coated P clip...

I managed to get the right rear mount in place. This is the right rear. The left mid cargo area without the mount. Now with the mount and bushing in place. Both cab mounts. Like I said oil and grease and run the bolt in and out a few times. Get it so you could install it with fingers. Avoid...

I heard a green grasshopper has a green Hiney hole. I never looked. I used Energy suspension motor mount inserts on every build. For someone to say these CUCV rattle boxes have more vibration is Ludacris. The only time I felt no vibrations on a CUCV was when it was parked and not running. My...

I also used a long Snap-On pry bar to adjust and get the body centered on the mounts. I used a ratchet strap on the rear frame to hold the body over while I replaced the right rear mount. That mount took me 2 hours to get in but now I am a pro at it. Live and learn. No cursing took place only...

I am going to complete my job that I started last year. I started at the right front cab mount. My advice is to remove the old bolts and clean the threads very well in the cab. Use a tap or a new bolt and grease and oil. Run it in and out of the captured can nut till you can thread it with your...

OK. I will reship. No worries. It is an easy come easy go part. Besides I will get it shipped out next week. I received a fuel pump for a John Deere tractor. Not in my name but my address. I looked on Facebook and found a few people within the local area with that name. No report back. A few...

I was not talking body off restoration. I was talking getting the body up high enough to gain access to the current rear body mounts. Depending on rusted fasteners that can be a real chore. I use winches on the ceiling and bottle jacks to lift and shift the body around. A ratchet strap helps a...

You may as well make a gantry and lift the body off the frame.
