So I assume the truck ws standing for many years, at least somewhen in its later years. If the Kerosine solution does not help, rebuilt the engine. 875 hours mean some 30 miles per engine hour, which is relatively slow. So a lot of idle or truck missuse at the National Guard. Wolf

The one thing to cure the problem finally. That means to replace ALL the "cancer" parts. The second is: in February 1985 I saw the first CUCV series M1009 in Colmar / Elsass at the 40 anniversary of the liberation of the town and these M1009 had no underside painting, neither on the chassis or...

Hey, step by step! The outer of the cab looks like a lot of work. The canvas needs to be a new one (old ones are expensive as new ones useually). The gunmount on the dash is intended for a UZI MP. The gun mounts in the body are for the G3 intended. The inside boby photos make the impression that...

At least any 16" wiper blade set with a couple of standard adapters in the set will fit fine, at least the European sets do. Sometimes as cheep as 5 Euro (or 6.50$). Wolf

No kidding, seems that someone has to improve its welding skills! And the rocker panels should be replaced in full length due to the situation. Note: These trucks had NO rust preventations, for thy were intended for some 5 to 10 years of use only, cheep throw away trucks. No chassis paint, no...

The injection pump is not a very reliable peace of technology, however the fuel consumption over 20 mpg might have other problems, too. If the cluches in the THM400 start to slip, the fuel comsumtion will jump from 20 to 15 mpg easily, which I experianced. Change your transmission oil. If...

If the fuel cap vent does not work propperly (what happens now and then), the vacum in the tank will pull back the fuel from the pump, if the fuel shut off valve does not hold tight. Two possibilities, which normally both have to be done: change the upper part of the injection pump with the...

As said before, you have a blow by problem (Blow by is the technical term to decribe your problem. Every engine has it, even a new one. The more worn / miles, the more blow by). Your piston rings are probalby worn out or sticking, at least one or two of them. How many miles or hours has your...

British still think in the imperial system. However, the USA changed officially to ISO in 1980. If we over here use a vehicle with british or US standard parts, we learn the sizes relatively quick, for ist is needed to maintain these vehicles. From my side I have the impression that the other...

The injection pump is a DB28 (Distribution 2 Pistons, 8 cylinder) as far as I remember, the version number starts with 4 (thousand). 5(thousand) may be the 6.5 l Version, but Im not shure about that. More you find in TM 9-2815-237-34P as of 10/1985. The injection pump is identical exept the...

Forget that plug, in 99.9% of all case you do not need it. I survived 14 years and 372000 km without the use of that. Disinstalling is somewhat tricky, you need to cut the insulatin of the harness and get wire by wire out of the harness. There are enough warning lights to indicate the problems...

The TM says it is a GM Diesel, however, the engine was made by Detroit Diesel, however exclusively for GM (and for the Hummer), no dought. Block and heads were cast in Germany by two different foundries, one in Nordrhein Westfalen, the other in Baden Würtemberg (Bundeslaender (federal...

I'm 53 and since 1978 in the MV bussiness, if you can call this hobby a bussiness. It is more a loose money bussiness. Wolf

To choose the correct springs for your truck, you have to check the brake rating in your VIN. 4th diged G is 9000 lbs gross, H is 10000 lbs gross. The rear springs are differnent. Also you ALSD (automatic load sensing device) is set for these spring rates. The valve is the same, the setting is...

What protects from cold also protects from heat. So I would use it all the year round to reduce the temperatur impact of the sun in summer. Wolf

I did not read me through all the advices in total, however I know the problem after 372000 km on a M1009. It is the modulator valve on the injection pump which I had to change 2 time for the same problem. The part is some 10 $ or so, simple low quality, lasting some 100000 km (60000 miles) or...

Accepted! Wolf

Warthog, I can, for the altinator mounts are 100% original CUCV parts! As a speciallist you should have reqognized that. And my intention was simply to help badassissimo. If you do not understand that, that someone trys to help a guy in the Staates form this side of the Atlantic Ocean und just...

OK, anybody is somewhat correct, but nobody in full. Fact is: You can run a 6.2 l Diesel without generators. You need: A dummy left side Generator with belt driven by the crank shaft and also driving the water pump. Any broken altinator will work before replacing the regulator and the diode...

Here are 2 pics of the original installation of the left 12 V altinator. All bolts for mounting are metric, in the US with US bolts 15 mm wrench size, else according ISO 17 mm wrench size. On this side of the Atlantic river commeon sence. Wolf
