I used aluminum blind rivets with large heads and "Seals All" adhesive.

The amount of grease and dirt caked on the engine is a better indication of the miles it has than the odometer.

Check the fuel return check valve. It is on top of the IP with a hose coming out of it. The valve should depress easily with a pick. Clean with penetrating oil. Also, loosen the bleed screw on the filter and make sure that you are pumping fuel.

Everyone who says that converting a civilian vehicle only involves a starter change are WRONG and have never looked at a CUCV wiring diagram. First, you will need to add a second alternator with the charge wire to the + terminal of the high battery and the GND terminal to the + side of the low...

To make the system useful, you would need to add a much larger air compressor to the truck or it would take literally an hour or more to re-inflate 6 or 10 large tires. Next a simple back pressure regulator to the tires with the control knob and a gauge would be all you need for pressure...

Yea, since they got the trucks for free, they don't want to put any money into them. So when the fuel pump went out on this truck, they just started using it for parts. Also, the driver window and back window were down. Lots of leaves and trash inside. A leaf blower took care of that. The...

Bought an M1009 from GSA sight unseen. Missing fuel filter and base, glow plugs solenoid, starter, PS pump, one alternator, batteries, and radiator. Oh, and dash pad. Luckily, I had stripped all the parts except for batteries from an M1008 I had parted out (people will pay a LOT of money just...

Actually, the gas/WMO will burn in almost any diesel.

Your best bet would be to see if there is a radiator shop in the area that can fix it.

Where you intend to drive it, lockers will be a waste of money. And they are NOT cheap. Also, as said, the deuce engine doesn't have enough HP to turn 6 wheels.

Welcome, Chaplain.

This has to be my all time favorite. It is a Javelin missile hitting a T-72.

Yea, I was thinking of using it in a deuce since it doesn't much care what you pour into it. The tanks seems to be about half full so I have about 13 gallons.

I don't know where it went, but you can download the -20 tech manual and go waaaaay down to about page 900 or so and view the wiring diagrams. It probably goes to one of the alternators.

Other M101's are listed at 1340#,

That is what I figured.

This really isn't a CUCV specific question, but since the old fuel is in an M1009, this is as good a place as any to ask. A google search revealed that diesel can degrade and grow algae, both of which can degrade and cause problems. My question is this, is there a product that can be added to...

The problem is that the only thing on the CUCV that is 24vdc is the starter. You still need 12vdc for everything else.

No, the M36 bed is several feet longer than the M35. Racks and troop seats will not fit. At least not the full length.

If possible you REALLY need to preview the vehicles on GSA. They have a nasty habit of putting vehicles in the normal category when they should be in the Scrap/Salvage category. One M1009 I bought was missing the doors, seats, gauges, dash pad, alternators, PS pump, radiator, and many other parts.
