    Windshield Wiper Power Loss

    Radio? That's a little vague don't you think? CB radio? Ham radio? AM/FM radio? Military radio? You should always wire a two-way radio directly to the battery. If you want on-off with the ignition, wire a relay through the wiper fuse- it's the only one that's ON in the RUN and ACC...

    Cucv spin on fuel filter question.

    The FM100 has all those options, but as mentioned, they ain't cheap. http://thedieselstore.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=fm100 Pre-filters, heaters in 12v or 24v, primers, water sensors, heads, filters, and clear bowls.

    Crickets driving me nuts

    '86 I just need to crawl under when it's doing it loud and figure it out. Some PM got done so I'm happy with that. Changed the oil and filter while I was there.

    Well, the last time I was listening for it the door was open. It's definitely coming from up under somewhere.

    Crickets driving me nuts

    I ran down to NAPA and picked up a needle fitting adapter for my grease gun ($20) and jacked the front of the '09 up. The front drive shaft came out pretty easily. The transfer case skid uses 9/16th wrenchs top and bottom. The aft end of the front drive shaft needs a 5/8ths wrench and my...

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

    Well, after spending all day Saturday on a two hour project to get my Jeep WK back up, and having gotten bruised badly beating out both front hubs (but it's all got anti-seize compound on it now!) and having had my *** handed to my by it, I decided to do some light work on the M1009 today. Kind...

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

    My Jeep WK just hit me with SERVICE ELEC BRAKE and SERVICE 4WD messages. All the wheel speed sensors ohm check good, and it isn't throwing any codes. i don't know where to begin, and I hate just throwing parts at it in hopes one of them fix it. It's parked for now while I noodle the problem...

    Why did the army pick GM? With picture

    I would imagine that Ford wasn't impressed with the small CUCV contract since they had pretty much cornered the market in police cars.

    If those are working antennas you need to get them above the roofline.

    Well, it was ~mostly~ dark at 0530 when I left for work. Camera was sitting on the driver's side mirror. It's difficult to tell from the photos maybe, but the lightbar illuminates the entire area around the truck, from 9-o-clock to3-o-clock, to daylight. The landing lights have a lot more...

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

    I finally got around to finishing my lightbar. The six HIDs across the front looked good, but the two halogen bulbs in the corner reflectors looked yellow in comparison. I installed the H3 HID conversion and got it wired to the SmartSiren head in the center console. The slider switch in the...

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

    Well if we're going to talk radjo, here's my current set-up. The VHF control head is on top, then the remote for the spotlight, then the SmartSiren control head, and finally the UHF control head. The VHF body is under the driver's seat on shock-mounts, the SS body is inside the console, and...

    You've been having an exciting month with tires. Why are you selling your ambulance/storage unit?

    Crickets driving me nuts

    I found the skid-plate under the fuel tank loose on mine; it was making a loud chirping sound at certain speeds due to vibration. The other noise maker on mine is the back seat catch.

    Storing an extra Injector Pump?

    Pickle it with some light oil and seal it up as tight as you can. Vacuum seal sounds good.
