He wrecked it in 2010. I hope the vehicle is recycled and he has fully recovered.

2500 lbs Ok two sides to look at this. First off the TM says the m1008 was designed to transport a m101a2 trailer which weights approx. 1500lbs with a payload of 2500 lbs.Oct 11, 2010 Why not get a Class III receiver that is frame mounted with it's own certified weight rating? Good Luck either...

Like all good/big projects a few snags do occur. It was in the low 30's in the morning and cold all day. I did use the time to clean up the garage and get some tools put away. I still have a long way to go but any forward movement is an advancement. I did a lot of work on other equipment and had...

OK it is 70* outside and I have the whole weekend off. I guess it is time I get wound up and rolling on my M1009 project. I will follow up with a full report. And to keep my thread from being worthless I will include full color pictures with explanations and diagrams as needed. Many CUCV parts...

I don't even go by part numbers anymore. I go by visual and hands on depression of the lever. the correct lift pump has immediate resistance and pumping action when the lever is depressed. The incorrect one has about 1/4"-1/2" free ply in the lever before the resistance begins. As I showed in...

The story of my teenage life.

First off I would make sure you have the correct pump. After you have discovered it is the correct pump I would remove the push rod cover plate and replace that gasket as well. I think that gasket and the fuel pump to cover plate gasket are the 2 gaskets you are referring to. Also a little tip...

No on my knees behind my back like I play guitar.

I never added anything to my fuel ever. I see guys saying 2 cycle oil. It's not a chain saw. I use straight truck stop diesel or home heating oil. Works about the same. That's an opinion thing but after 27 years I must admit I have NOT added anything.

You could use a foam seal that you buy at Home Depot. I am pretty sure that is not where the water is coming in. Also look in the bottom of the gate and make sure your breather drain holes are clean and free of debris. I had a few that were full of shattered glass and the remnants of the side...

You shouldn't get rain leaking in thru the access panel unless you have it under water. The upper glass seal, gate seal and roof seal should be sealing that area. That is a 4" void between the outer skin of the gate and the inner removable panel. It has flanges on both the gate and the panel. I...

Clean the slide surfaces on the knuckle hub really well and lightly lube them. I prefer a new slide and lock bolt if the slide is rusty. But with a small prybar I can seat the caliper in the upper groove and ease the slide lock in place. I hope that helps. I can do it blind folded but writing it...

It clips on the bottom of the inner brake pad. They are available new for a few cents. Make sure to polish the slides on the knuckle and the caliper and lube them well. Many front pads are stuck slightly on and wear out and create the wobble often seen in the front end. Not 100% but that is a...

Honestly I reuse starter bolts all the time. I replace them when I see any defect but I never had any issues with used starter bolts. I have about a dozen brand new HMMWV starter bolts but they are longer. Same thread and all. A friend gave them to me as a gift. Take Care. I do not consider...

Any M10 X 1.50 proper length METRIC, shank knurled starter bolts will work. I buy them at auto parts stores and starter rebuilding shops. As long as they are the metric one. the 3/8" will fit and semi get tight but are NOT the correct ones. I have bought several from the military that had the...

You could also eliminate the connection adapters completely get a set of resistors and put AC Delco 13 G glow plugs in it. I have used the stock set up thru hundreds of thousands of miles and have seldom been left down. Glow plug and starting issues never left me stranded at the side of the...

OK. I have fixed several of these in the past. Best way and may seem difficult but it is an opportunity to do many easy repairs and gasket replacement. Pull the engine. Put it on a stand and pay a good welder man to fix it properly. I paid about $200. the last time I had one fixed. I bought the...

Standard Motor Products TX47 Diesel Glow Plug Sensor (stockwiseauto.com) I hope this helps save you some coin. Good Luck. Glad I could help.

I will give you my 6 year report on the rebuilt box. It was still working and plowing snow until 2 weeks ago when the transmission went out. I think that CUCV will be heading to the scrap pile after this. Shame but that is the way things go in the cooperate world. New is nice and I need some new...

I know I have a few spent M1009 axles and I still have a brand new one in the crate. The 3:08 gears in the rear are the same as 3:08 civilian rears. I had an 85 pick up with a stick shift trans that had 3:08 gears and I used a military crate axle in it so I had the locker. I probably have the...
