    Sealing windows and doors

    The windows are extremely simple. Just take off the door panel and look inside and start greasing everywhere you see a moving part. AS for adjustment, there are two pieces of metal that allow you to adjust for maximum up position and some tilt.

    Winch Install

    Less than a pint on the side opposite the PTO, I think. Not much more than that on the PTO side.

    Clutch linkage bolt

    Your ball bearing and spring that fall into the groove are either rusted and stuck or missing.

    starting my "new M1009"

    If the glow plug relay is missing, you can replace it with a toggle switch and just count to 10 in warm weather and 20 on cold days.

    The TM's are at the top of every page under the "Resources" link.

    starting my "new M1009"

    The GP relay card is in a rubber-like housing (about 3" by 3" by 1") just stuffed up into the wiring harness on the driver's side.

    starting my "new M1009"

    Download the TM's and start reading. You can check if your GP card is really bad by bypassing the glow plug relay for about 20 seconds and then jumping in and trying to start it. If the card is bad, it may start right up. If it doesn't start, you may have other problems. Next take the fuel...

    KY recovery question (temp tags?)

    That would be because you were going off a cliff!:shock: (I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather. Not screaming in terror like the people in the car he was driving.)

    Anyone with cargo on Arrow Truck Lines?

    The news I read was that the drivers were all instructed to take their trucks to the nearest dealership (if they could make it, I guess) and leave them there. The dealer would buy them a bus ticket home. It's a crappy thing to do to your employees.

    runs rich at first start up.

    Blue smoke is burnt engine oil. You have bad piston rings.

    KY recovery question (temp tags?)

    I gambled and won. Wear a camo jacket and the cops won't look twice. It's not like you are going to be screaming along at 80 mph anyway.

    u joint?

    Easy. Take the clips off and drive the u joint out as as far as you can. You should be able to remove the cap that is driven out the most. Now drive the u joint back the other way and remove that cap. It doesn't matter which caps go into the shaft or the saddle. Put some electrical tape...

    What happened to my mileage?

    The spotting on the tailgate is probably unburnt fuel. Sounds like your injectors are wearing out and instead of a nice atomizing spray, they are squirting a stream of diesel into the chamber.

    CUCV purchase

    You can get higher gear ratios for the trucks. I've heard that there are a lot of 4X4 people who will trade you even for them.

    Starter just died, looking for a new one i think..

    Try your connections at the battery, starter, and firewall bus first.

    Starter just died, looking for a new one i think..

    Check ebay for a cucv starter. I think you can get them a lot cheaper than most places.

    M1031 dies when PTO is engaged

    I can find nothing in the schematics. Have you looked on the transfer case where the linkage goes for a switch?

    A Deuce with some questions.

    Get a gallon of one step rust converter and go to town.

    Replacement winch cable

    You got that backwards. Breaking weight is just that, the maximum weight pull that it will support without breaking. Working load is generally far less than the breaking weight, generally about a third of the breaking limit.

    Where to find a glow plug module.

    An old Navy trick to clean contacts is to use an ordinary pencil eraser and rub the contacts. The rubber in the eraser contains pumice, an abrasive, and rubbing contacts will clean them up quick.
