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

    Does anyone know what this bracket is? It's down in front of the left motor mount- has a curved slot in it. Hard to see clearly in the picture, but it's inside the white circle.

    Heat Blower Bogging the Electrical?

    Well, it has nothing to do with the blower whatsoever. I checked both alternator belts and they're tight, but on a whim I poked the PS belt and it was loose as a goose. Seems the outboard-most bolt unscrewed itself and departed the fix. The washer was still laying on the frame rail oddly...

    Air cleaner components-necessary?

    Are you talking about the air filter and assembly, or the snorkel hose that runs to the firewall? The air filter and the assembly that holds it in place is absolutely necessary. The snorkel is not. It is on the civilian vehicles primarily to quiet the sucking sound that the engine creates...

    Heat Blower Bogging the Electrical?

    This morning I drove the M1009 to work like always, only today I was getting a lot of belt squeal, and eventually the belt was squealing all the time. In the parking lot I tried a few things and it seems to be isolated to the heater blower. When it's on, the voltmeter is just into the low...

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

    Looks like supply is out of flight line and prop wash.

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

    Drove the wife up into the Olympic National Forest to cut a tree. Hard to see but it's tied on the roof.

    Usmc m1030b1

    I spotted the ad for that bike the other day; nice work!

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

    ALT + 0188 = ¼ ALT + 0189 = ½ ALT + 0190 = ¾ You have to use the number pad not the row of numbers at the top of the keyboard.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Drove up to Ikea again. The trailer means I don't have to own a pickup truck. :driver:

    Alternate use for a M1101: Truck bed

    I thought the bed was sitting up too high as well. Will you be painting the trailer to match the truck, or the truck to match the trailer?

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Wait, what am I missing here? If the trailer is already free-backing, why are we discussing drilling holes or installing switches?

    PU-797 recovery

    These are the links I use behind my WK; two on each side.

    how level does a m101a2 trailer need to be - realistically

    powering 12v accessories

    If you follow the hood release cable on the driver's side kick panel to the firewall there ~should~ be a black plastic cap about the size of a half-dollar just below it. Pull that out and a rubber plug should remain. Now find the other side of that rubber plug in the engine compartment. It...

    M1009 to use for parts?

    CARC in the engine compartment sorta says it was a M1009 at one time. Looks like a wrecking yard buy that was made drivable (I can't really use the word 'restored'). I can't tell from the picture but if there's a diagnostic plug under the dash that would also be a good indicator. EDIT to add...

    What happened here... glow plug resistor bypass?

    Uh...no. Coming off that terminal is 12V, coming off the aft terminal is 24V (and providing 24V to the bus bar).

    Black Out Light Replacements

    That would be a tough picture to get; they're really only visible when it's completely dark outside. No light you fit into that little hole is going to do much, I doubt you'd even be able to tell they're on if you power them with the headlights on. Probably the most interesting thing you an do...

    What happened here... glow plug resistor bypass?

    If the GPs are powered off the big bus bar behind the aft battery, you did it way wrong. You want to use the little bus bar just above the GP relay as shown in the OP's pictures. If your GPs are getting power from the little bus bar already, then something is wrong upstream. Follow the wire...

    Spinning Antenna Mount Bolt

    I would take an angle grinder and grind the head off, then remove the bracket and yank the remaining bolt and rivnut straight out with vice grips.
