    Dash Trim piece - where to get it?

    Hello - Looking for the passenger side long trim for my dash. Anyone know where I can find one? Search the forum, didn't see anything that helped. Tried the usual parts sources and they're either not listed, they don't have them, or I just didn't find them. Thanks much....

    CUCV M1009 Radiator cover - Available and where?

    Looking to restrict the airflow over my radiator this winter. Barely gets warm enough for reasonable heat, definitely not enough for defrost. Any suggestions? Did search a bit on the site, but found nothing. Hoping to find the actual military cover.

    R/F turn signal illuminates with brake application

    So when I apply the brakes, the right front turn signals illuminate. Rear bulbs removed, same thing. Anyone run into this one? I have the manuals, but my wiring diagrams are mostly; missing from them.

    Anyone know where I can find the actual docs to install a kit in an M818? I've searched, yes. I've also scanned every page of docs on the old site. Nothing. Did I over look it? It's possible! Thanks much!

    M1009 MP / K9 Markings...

    Ok, so I have this great little German Shepherd Schutzhund named "Sonja von Botropp" and thought I'd mark my M1009 as a USMC K9 MP unit. Seemed reasonable since I have the perfect prop, and she LOVES to ride in the car. Can anyone help with some photographic evidence of what it might look...

    M1009 Charging system / Battery Qwerk

    Greetings again.... So being the purist in most things I noted that the batteries in the new M1009 were not 'military' spec / type, etc. I have an M818 that these batteries were installed in with good luck. So I thought I'd see if they had any at the same battery place in town. Turns out...

    6.2L Diesel vibration / HELP!

    I have a 6.2L diesel that is vibrating when it runs. It has what feels like a dead miss, but all cylinders are producing heat at the manifold, and all diminish power when the fuel line is cracked at the injector. There's very little smoke, at any power setting. Alternator, P/S pump, and water...

    My XM818 tractor is currently getting a set of super singles with 16.00 x 20 Michelin XL recaps. The installers noted that the rear wheels will ever-so-slightly touch the center suspension pivot point cap. Are different caps available for this mod or do I have to get creative with the cap...
