Not a bad idea the only thing you have to watch out for is if any of the glow plug ends are mushroomed out there may be another project in the making

Welcome and good luck. Greetings from San Diego, all the way in the opposite corner. You've come to the right place for information and tips. I was going to ask what that was on the front grille, but then I saw you're from Maine, so It looks to be a Winterization kit. Keep us posted

Yeah these things have some wonderful compression, rated at 21.5:1 so it's going to be a little bit tougher than turning some small block Chevy or Ford engine. But you got it, like CUCVRUS said, just give those cooler lines a slight push to the side, try not to use a prybar or anything with a...

no offense taken, I can be an idiot sometimes aua you mean this one? Been looking for something like that for some time, so I am guessing that mine is sheared off and flush. I have some maintenance items to do tomorrow, so I will take another look to see for sure, maybe it is just caked over...

Nope. mine has no way to swivel from what I can see, but I'll have to look to be 100% sure. You may be right and it may have been seized up from not being used, but even after moving this trailer with the incline on my driveway, it wasn't enough force to even budge it. Edit... My curiosity...

Went to a charity event today and took the 5-ton and trailer. I just like the look of the trailer attached to the truck. The only problem I have with it is that I am not used to maneuvering a short trailer with a long truck, so it tends to get away from me very quick. Makes backing down my...

Been busy and getting things going. Retired my CUCV (the M1009) from daily driving and the abuse from my work in favor of my Navy Truck with a utility box bed. It's more suited for the type of work that I do and probably looks more the part. As you can see, it ain't brand new, but perfect for...

Got my gear, I'm all set and ready to go.......but now I have to pee!

Did my deed. U-P-G-R-A-Y-E-D-D. With 2 D's for a Double dose of this sites pimping. Lost? Idiocracy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLtQQbU_-jE

Can't really help you on if it's worth it or not, it looks nice from the pics. IMHO, if it runs as nice as it looks and drives as well, then it's worth at least $2500 just for that. I would look for items that may be in question and use that as you bargaining chip from the $5K asking price...

It's possible, but don't really have much to go on to really tell you. I assume since you stated that you charged up the battery, hold on, you said battery not batteries??? If this was just a typo, and hope it was unless the truck has been converted to 12V, has it? If it is still a 6.2 diesel...

I would say if trailering is off the table, then drive it for a good 20 mile trip around the seller's home and see what happens. Your close enough for a cheap tow and reassess from there if it breaks down. The good thing, it's not a Deuce, 5-ton or bigger, so in reality, breaking down is more...

You must be talking about me, Bought a CUCV, then bought a 5-ton just last week bought a trailer. Alright, I know you're spying on me, where's the camera hidden?

Man I am getting a lot of use from that gif, lol Welcome and congrats on your new(to you) M1009. Basic things, read and download the TM's as they can be very helpful for any issues that come up. Think of them as the Chilton book for your CUCV. There is an idle adjustment screw/solenoid...

That would be the CDR valve, if we are looking at the same thing. Looking from where that image came from, it was a write up about removing the intake and such. You can find it here: http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/63-gm-diesel-engines/610-builds/664018-84-m1009-cucv-lumberbeast.html, it's...

I was watching a lot of equipment on GL that included about 8 24/12V converters that were rated for 1K watt output, that would be nice for for those high amperage devices without the worry of causing the imbalance effect. No sure about running an electric winch from one, but several other...

No, not mine. When I replied it was already too late and dark outside to snap a pic. So I did what any red blooded American would do, I stole it from the interwebs, lol. Not sure who's that is.

I do all my own work but the last time I had an alternator changed out on my 1009, it was about $260 installed and out the door. I didn't have time to work on it and it was cheaper at this time to have someone else work on it, or lose $500 for the day since the truck was sort of down for the...

... edit...I think I totally misread that, so I removed my reply.\ Carry on, nothing to see here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdFl__NlOpA

To get a better understanding, why are you considering converting it to full 12V? I stand behind Porky and Recovery, not only does the stock configure work well (it's not perfect, but it works) it isn't that hard to really figure out, most people just overthink it. If you are going to...
