Hello and welcome to the forum. The folks here have a WEALTH of information. You will have to supply a bit more information to get to the root cause of your starting issues. Is your Glow Plug System working correctly? I have been going bug nuts trying to fix the GP System in my M1009. What...

Thank you for the offer, but I have already installed the modified bolt. It seems to be working so far. Where did you see the new PCB boxes? I wouldn't mind having a spare although I can't imagine ever needing one.

When I purchased my M1009, I noticed the Glow Plug PCB box laying on the floor underneath the brake pedal. I did't think much about it until I tried to figure out where it was supposed to be. Fortunately, my M1008 had the same box and it was mounted properly to the steering column bracket. I...

Sorry for the block size. I will endeavor to do better in the future...

Yes, the new sockets came with the foamy style gaskets. I would have preferred to get replacement sockets from a scrap yard as well so the colors would match, but unfortunately I don't have a scrap yard within 60 miles of my location. The few that I can travel to will not let part hunters into...

For the last two months, I have been steady working on recently purchased M1009. Fortunately, I have my M1008 to use as a guide. Without it, I would have been lost long ago. One of the bug-a-boo's I have been trying to deal with is the loss of some of my grounds which was causing havoc with...

I thank God for every day. I am happy your broken bolt was an easy fix. I think I will try to find some of those centering gizmo's. I have never seen them before. A metric and SAE set would be a great accompany kit for my tap and die sets.

While I was was changing the water pump on my M1009, I came across this tiny wire connected to the side of Injector Pump. I got as close as I could with my phone to take this photo, so the context may be skewed. This wire appears to be a home-made wire as you can see a blue eyelet...

This is typical of every CUCV I have ever driven while I was active. I cannot remember one where the fuel gauge stopped at full. With my trucks, I drove them to empty to learn where the fuel gauge needle is when the engine stops. The pro's with this plan is that you know (and when) you will...

Solder type or crimp on. Send me a PM with your address and I will mail some to you.

This is AWESOME...! You understand me... Wow...

It was designed to use a battery charger but I haven't tried that yet. I tested my GPs with it connected to a automotive battery that was on my bench. I took a GP to my local hardware store and tested different nuts until I found a 10mm that fit. I bought two and welded them to the holes I...

You did an amazing job. I love to see what others design/engineer. There are soooo many smart people who create soooo many amazing things..

Howdy from Grove, OK.

Hi Robert! This is Leo and I live in Grove, OK. I have had to get titles in the past for other stuff and it isn't very hard to do. I found people who do this work in newspapers such as the Ad Tracker, Thrifty Nickle, etc. I am the proud owner of both an M1008 and an M1009. I love these...

This is AWESOME! You have fantastic ideas. I love the awning attachment as side walls. Did you design/built these parts yourself or did you source them?

Because I had the parts and because it was too wet (raining) to do anything outside, I built a Glow Plug Testing Unit. I will probably never need to use again, but it worked well to test the glow plugs on my M1009.

My flux capacitor is missing. My wife said she saw it in a DMC coupe', but I haven't seen it for quite a while. Perhaps another time...

I seriously doubt that I will ever be able to stump you with a CUCV related question! Thank God..! and... thank you for your help. I would be sooooo stuck without your help.

While working on my 1985 M1009, I discovered this thing hiding between the back of the engine and the fire wall. It appears to be a resister but I cannot locate this thing in the -20 or -34 TM's. Can anyone tell me what this does, what it's for, and how does one know if it is working...
