    cucv charging system m1009

    Your truck is acting as designed. When cold the glow plugs cycle for a short period, that's why you get fluctuation in the meter, Anywhere in the green is fine but red or yellow? you may have problems.

    Project m1010

    I test them while their in the block with a simple 1 wire test light clipped to the positive battery post. Touch the test light probe on the terminal end of the glow plug and if it lights your good to go. If it doesn't than its burned out and not making any heat.

    M1008 dragged home today...

    For future thoughts, what could I expect to pay for the required brackets/mounts/bows for the troop cover? Everything has been removed from mine so I'll have to start from scratch. I used to do auto and boat upholstery so the top itself isn't a big deal. I thought you were buying the truck to...

    New member, New truck, lots to learn (4x4 and plow Q's)

    Unless you plan on plowing commercially for 4 months a year like a lot of guys do up north here. I would put a smaller lighter cheaper plow on. Not knowing what part of Virginia your in, how often do you need a plow anyways?

    Cracked Injector lines

    Five of my old lines cracked on the pump end. The old diesel mechanic that worked on it said the rubber clamps were missing and the vibration over time tends to crack the ends by the nuts. He also said not to bend them much when installing as it will destroy the glass like coating inside the...

    Cracked Injector lines

    I wish I checked with you swiss 3 years ago for the injector line set. It took me three mouths and four venders before I found all eight to replace mine. Great price.

    Is this a good deal?

    I agree, why inherit someone else's problems. Besides if he is parting out a truck with 20,000 miles on it there most be a lot wrong with it. The other thought would be to give him $500 for the whole truck for parts,

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    Have you had any snow worth playing in lately? When it does does come, I would love to see some action video on how well your blower works. Been contemplating on picking up a FLU and retrofitting a blower for it like you did. The County I work for has fourteen 911 communication tower sites, and...

    Lil help for a newcomber

    Make sure you fully charge and load test your batteries. Weak or bad batteries will cause a multitude of issues as your finding out now. Your relay may not be bad because you still had to jump it when testing, just saying test & check your batteries.

    M1008 dragged home today...

    Great price if it turns out to be minor repairs. The guy I was trying to deal with was a owner to an auto repair shop and it made me leery when he said he would not install the starter unless I committed to buying the truck. I thought to myself, what is he trying to hide? Go figure. I guess ill...

    M1008 dragged home today...

    How did Mike treat your wallet. I had one on the hook up hear that wasn't running and he wanted a running price "4k". The guy said its the starter and he has a new one for it but never bothered to install it. I told him I wouldn't buy a truck unless I heard it run; he wouldn't budge.

    Wish your M1008 would turn like an M1009?

    Its no longer a 1008; You may want to call that a 1007:5 or a 1007 & 1/2.

    CUCV Snow Plow Trucks and Spreaders

    What are the LED plow lights retailing for? I'm waiting for the LED truck-lite headlight prices to fall some before I buy. I love how they look on your Mule.

    Alternator alignment adjustment

    I noticed my passenger side pulley is slightly out of alinement also. Tried to shim it with a washer but didn't help much. I put new belts on 5 years ago and they haven't giving me a bit of trouble nor are they wearing oddly. As far as the squealing, you have to have them real tight or try some...

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

    Ideas for new threads; "What's the name of your Trucks". Or when you reference your trucks are they "Male or Female"? And those that don't have a name as of yet we can start a thread "Name that Truck"
