    M1101 Trailer Light Problems

    They're brake lights- not to pick on you, but the next guy that does a search for this issue will not find any results if he uses the correct spelling. Explain what you started with as far as the wiring. You say someone unplugged everything under the trailer.... There is a junction about mid...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I washed the 09 his afternoon. The mold was so tough in some places the bristles on the tire scrub-brush couldn't dent it. I had to scrape it off with a plastic putty knife.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Th400 + 3.08 gears + 31x10.5R15 and not fixing what ain't broke means I have the scratch to buy a motorcycle for the warm weather. :-P

    M1009 Window Defogging

    If the windows are fogging with that low humidity then you may have leaky window seals. I've found the best way to defog the side windows is with the vent windows slightly open. My M1009 has the sliding rear windows and they leak, so the inside gets damp and the windows fog up. My short term...

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    Since it's an auction I'm not sure how prices can increase, unless the starting bid is too high. If the starting bid is reasonable, then the item will move according to market demand. I expect there to be a lot of re-listed items in the beginning; items won by someone who, after adding their...

    Charging system problem

    Check the alternator bracket and the power steering pump bracket for cracks. The alternator might work fine until it gets a load on it, and then the belt starts slipping. Totally a longshot but who knows.

    Dash Pad Replacement

    Mine was complete toast and I was considering removing all the remaining foam and just painting the steel (saw one that someone had done and it didn't look half bad), but found a NOS aftermarket one on craigslist. Guy had bought it for his blazer and stuck it up in the attic and it sat for...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I understand they weigh 142# each, so a bit less than 300# total is my guess. The wheels on the trailer now ride much smoother than the 37s that it came with.

    When you drop it off, tell them you want the defective seal.

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    I had been wondering about the diminishing number of lots on the GL site for JBLM. 33 miles? Where?

    Should I have been draining water from my new SPIN-ON?

    I went with the FM as well. I've never drained any water but the one time I tried to unscrew the drain at the bottom of the filter nothing ever came out. I should probably try again....

    Going to have to pull M1009 trans. Questions

    I'm no transmission expert but the symptoms you describe sound more like a vacuum issue than a transmission problem. Have you exhausted your troubleshooting with the vacuum system already?

    Opinions on M1009 Tires

    Sooner or later, you'll curse General. I have the KOs on my 1009 and my Jeep and they're notoriously hard to keep balanced. I put Goodyear Silent Armor on my wife's jeep and that will probably be the tire I go to if the KOs ever wear out on my jeep. For the 1009 I'd probably do the Walmart...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I love mine and I love to see them getting used hard and surviving. I think about lowering mine but so far haven't. You didn't take that out on the roads without the safety chains connected I hope.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Drove up to the Oly Mountains to see the snow and function check my P320 after it came back from the recall. At one point the snow was falling so hard the wipers were just packing it on each side of their sweep, and we stopped a dozen times to clear the snow. I have some video I'll try to get...
