Any internal engine temperature below 159° is considered cold and glow plugs should be used.

Air filter, fuel filter, battery strength and starter condition. Plus the already mentioned glow plugs.

I went out and did a 3 minute video of under the hood:

I will try and get some pictures as well.

Mine still rattle and works just fine as well.

Making the dual alternator 12/24 volt system of a CUCV work in a different vehicle really isn’t all that difficult. I did exactly that with my M715. Relays for the alternators and following the wiring diagrams at the end of the -20 are a must. A selectable 12 or 24 system is going to get very...

Yes, check out the ORD part. I put them on my Cowdog suburban and have had 35,000 miles trouble free ever since. I will make them part of any suspension work on the M1009’s as well.

Is this the one for the rear of the front shackle? Off Road Design has a very stout bushing, surround and hanger kit. I went with that instead of the very flimsy stock parts.

I’ll just keep plugging my videos. here are the starters and brackets:

One of the really awesome things about the military vehicle hobby is the Technical Manuals published by the government to maintain them. Look at the top of the screen and you will see a tab called “TM.” Click on it and find the manuals for the CUCV. The -20 has a huge 74 or so page electrical...

Wiring Diagram F-9 in the -20 TM has the brown wire going through the firewall plug behind the fuse panel. Both exciter wires are routed next to each other.

Just take them off and use the arm rest screws with the bottom screws. They will hold the panel on. You probably won’t hear any vibrations from any missing push tabs.

I have always gotten the interior door handle started. Align the lock threaded rod with the knob unscrewed. Then push it down into the window channel. Followed by the white push in pine cone looking things. The 2 screws on the arm rest and then the screws at the bottom of the panel.

Removing the turbo from the valley exposes the oil feed and drain lines. Keep them clean and dry in your cleaning.

If you run it dry. Add fuel. 5 liters might not be enough if you are an an incline. It will take about 2-3 minutes of cranking on the starter to get it primed again. I count to 20 while cranking, stop, let it rest for around a minute, repeat, repeat, etc…. 2 good batteries will be able to...

Welcome to the fun! Please don’t use either anymore. It can ignite when near a hot glow plug. WHOOSH flame back into your face, broken glow plugs or even bent engine internals could also happen. You wrote the engine struggles to turn over. I read that as meaning the starter motor can barely...

Snap-On PP408 is the tool the Banks turbo manual says to use. We are supposed to list current auctions on this site so you have to find it yourself. Just make sure it has the external bit.
