    M1009 no wait light, no GEN 2 light, no volts.

    That is for the 6.5L engine, and is likely to confuse the OP. Obviously there are similarities. Best to download the TM's for the CUCV from the TM section.

    Top Speed for unmodified CUCV?

    I am asking this question because I see new folks saying they have been going 75 mph for 60 miles on the freeway. This is fine for a typical car nowadays, but I am under the impression that that speed puts you over the rpm limit. I would hate to see new members put in a lot of work on there...

    1986 M1009 - Fuel problem/Injection pump maybe?

    Just an fyi. 3M makes a shrink tubing with glue on the inside. The stuff is fantastic for all kinds of things besides just wire. For example: I had a pair of large nail clippers that used to slip and produce copious amounts of blood. Thae shrink tubing I put on the handle part is still there...

    1986 M1009 - Fuel problem/Injection pump maybe?

    I have been under the impression that running these engines much over 55 will shorten their life very rapidly. Could someone enlighten me?

    Adding a tach?

    Military limits speed to 50-55mph so it is never an issue. At least, that is the theory.

    Starter turns when key out of ignition

    Don't give up. These trucks are very reliable once you fix a few of the known problems. You do need to do the homework and read up on this stuff.

    Starter turns when key out of ignition

    I repeat: DO NOT connect your batteries up until you replace the relay as in the doghead mod which is in the CUCV helpfull hints. Unless of course you want to burn up your truck. That relay is stuck and routing power directly from the batteries to the solenoid/starter. The ignition switch no...

    In-tank fuel pump?

    I believe that 3M makes shrink tubing with glue on the inside which melts when you shrink it. If it were mine I would get a length of tubing that would cover the entire length of the wire. not just over the splice. The proper way would be to find the correct replacement wire.
