OK, fired up the M1009 this morning and was about to leave for work (0515 and dark outside). I got out of the truck to take my flag down (very heavy winds) and I looked back at my truck and noticed the passenger side headlight was very dim. Now I had just replaced BOTH headlights a few months...

Don't know if anyone needs parts, but AutoZone has a nice promo right now (till the 19th). 20deal10 for 20% off a "ship to your home" order. Needs to be over $100, but there is also free shipping AND a $10 gift card. Not a bad deal !! Put my order in this morning.

Just got back from a round trip to NH. I had a lot of fluid all over the back tailgate when I got back to CT. I have made several long trips with this truck and have gotten a little bit of fluid on the tailgate, but I thought I read somewhere that it is fairly common and nothing to worry...

Hi All, So I just got back from a quick trip to NH and when cleaning up the truck I noticed a few things. For this thread, I noticed that there was brake fluid leaking down into the footwell, coming from the piston attached to the brake cylinder. It is a fairly serious leak, but I still have...

All, I picked up my new, to me, M1009 from Rick (CUCVRUS). It is my second M1009 and I have learned quite a bit since I purchased my first in May of 2011. I waited this long to post something because I really wanted to live with the new truck for awhile and see what I got. I have also been a...

OK, I have not had a lot of time to trouble shoot and have had a few things come up, but I went ahead and started the grey beast again this morning. It started right up, but it sputters and has no ability to rev up and feels like it has no power. She blows white/grey smoke which smells like...

M1009. Class III with a 4 and 7 pin connector spliced in to the existing wiring. Everything works great, except when I plug my little 5x8 trailer in (any trailer) I get a very rapid flashing when I used the turn signals. Note, everything works as it should, it's just that the turn signal is...

Went to pick up some mulch today with the 09. On the way there, I lost 80% power. No matter how hard I pushed that pedal down, she just putted along. Pulled up to get my bags of mulch and while I was waiting the engine died. Started it back up and all was good. Then, while driving and...

OK, I have been looking for this thing for almost two months. I thought I saw her when I first arrived, but then thought I may have been mistaken. Well, low and behold, I was cruzin around Warrior today and BAM ! I saw her. She is beat up good and the famous dust here has made it's way into...

When doing maintenance on my 1009, such as replacing brake pads, redoing the drums, etc, and I order parts from places like Autozone, Advance, etc, etc,. Is there anything special I need to look for when placing an order ? Are there parts extra heavy duty parts I need to look for or are they...

Didn't know where to post this. I saw that there may be signs of that web site coming back to life. Will they be coming back on line any time soon? Thanks.

About a year and a half ago (maybe a little longer) I noticed some bubbling in several body areas of my "rust free and restored" CUCV. I had noticed the day I got the truck home that one of the rockers was shot (in and out), but that is another story. Anyway, since I travel for work a lot, I...

Is anyone headed to this show on Saturday? I don't think I saw it listed here.

OK, in additional to all the other crap I am dealing with (life happens), I have to do some maintenance and make some body repairs (rust sucks) to my 1009. While she is apart, I was thinking of adding a CB radio. I want to use a military antenna setup and I have read several posts that deal...

What is this Antenna? - Dpv 49n http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?120264-Anything-Going-on-in-CT&p=1505345&highlight=#post1505345 Pictures of this antenna at the bottom of thread. Anyone know what this antenna is used for, what they usually cost and where could I pick one (or two)...

I am in the Norwich area for a while. Don't see a lot of MV's in the area. Except for the Essex show in June, are there any other shows or get togethers (like a Sunday breakfast thing, etc) taking place around here? Thanks

I had 16" wiper blades when I received my M1009. I replace those with 18" one and they worked really good. I just bought a set of 20". They fit and I am going to give them a try. On another note, my wipers stopped working for me during a trip the other day. Pulled the wiper motor off the...

Morning, Just wondering what the best application is to mount on my Blazer. There are a lot of used lights out there from a variety of vehicles, just not Blazers. Does anyone have an idea of which one will fit the best?? Thank you.

The hinge on my glovebox in my 09 is splitting apart. Does anyone make the plastic inner box any more? I don't think a plastic welder would work (due to the hinge action) and I tried a metal hinge but could make it work (perhaps I am not smart enough). Any knowledge would be appreciated. Thanks.

Are the two interchangeable?
