    bad 14 bolt

    I'm intending to sell the axles out of a M1031. I took off the covers to see how they looked and the front was open where I expected a limited slip and it was dry. The rear was full of metal on the magnet and I'll post a picture. I bought this residue from Ft Lewis WA a few years back. I was at...

    rear axle seal leaking

    My truck sat a very long time for reasons I won't get into now, but new seals were installed along with brakes and tires, grease and gear oil were changed. I dismantled the leaking hub and can find nothing wrong. The seal that was apparently leaking looks good. There was a cork wedge in the...

    Glow plug controller fuse on M1009

    Which one is it in the fuse box? The M1009 has been sitting and I think there is a corrosion/continuity problem as it ran when parked. The controller isn't supplying power to the GP relay so I'm not getting any power to the glow plugs. The card itself doesn't seem to be the issue. I don't think...

    Trying to start a deuce after 9 years.

    This truck was driven in to it's parking spot and not turned over in about 9 years. The fuel tank was drained, new fuel filters installed, and 4 lines bled at the injectors. The remaining 2 lines are stuck and will twist off before I can get them loose. PB blaster has been used for days without...

    glow plug system problem

    This is a new one for me on glow plugs. I have had them not work, because of the card being burned, solenoid burned out, glow plugs burned, but I have not had them work and then quit and then work again in the same glow plug cycle. When they are off more than they are on the wait light stays on...

    another M1009 no start

    I have this M1009 as a backup and everything was fine last month. New MC, new batteries, and everything was perfect when parked. I needed it today for the 1st time and no crank, just a loud clunk like a starter trying to turn over a frozen/seized engine, except the engine is not seized. I...

    16 inch wheels on the M1009

    I've been looking for some 16" chevy steel 6 lug wheels off and on and finally found a set. They look like the M1008 wheels only 6 lug. The problem is I think they may be only 5.5" wide wheels. Tires are still on and I don't have a caliper. I have found some aftermarket 6 lug, spoke 16's but...

    Poltergeist in my CUCV

    At 3:30 this morning the horn goes off in my truck. At 1st I didn't know what the sound was and I ran around the house trying to figure out where that sound is coming from. My son is up too now, the dog is barking, I open the front door.... horn blaring! Then it stopped for like 1 or 2 seconds...

    M1009 vibration

    I have this noticeable vibration that seems to be strongest while accelerating between 35 and 45. I've looked at the damper and it is rock solid true running at idle. I had a u joint wear out and replaced that and had the driveline balanced at the same time. The vibration is a engine speed...

    Engine knock on startup

    My son is driving one of my M1009's and let the oil level fall to 2 quarts low. After bringing the level up to full, there is a rod knocking noise, about 4 or 5 knocks until oil pressure is present on startup. Then everything sounds normal. Sounds like a dry start up, but I haven't noticed this...

    rear hub seals on 14 bolt ff

    I'm doing a rear brake job as the seal leaked oil onto the brakes. After pulling everything apart I can only find an outer hub seal and that is all that the tm shows unless I'm missing it. How is oil kept out of the hub bearings? When I took this apart oil poured out of the hub. There was no...

    M1028a2 and a3

    I'm inquiring about the dually pickups. Why did they get converted from the M1028's. I have a M1028, it hauls a shelter just fine, although a bit sluggish. Did the army have a different use? Were they used by all branches of the armed forces? With any different objectives? They would tow...

    Blown Spare/broken cover

    I had an old spare tire in the back of my M1009 that blew out. This spare was on my sons M1009 the month before. It wasn't over inflated then. It was a size that didn't match so it was relegated to a spare. This is my daily driver but wasn't driven for a week while we were on a camping trip. The...

    cucv alternator rebuilding

    There are a number of reasons an alternator will stop charging. I was wondering if others that rebuilt their alternator and knew which part failed and the symptoms it displayed before it totally failed. I have had the dash light give off a dull glow that seemed to gain in brightness until it...

    Little Rock AR to Portland, OR

    Hello, I have a small trailer 121"long x 61" wide x 70 tall and 3k lbs. It is a 4 wheel trailer with a fold up tongue, not hi-way capable so it would need to be hauled. It wouldn't have to taken the whole way just gotten closer where I could come and get it. Maybe CA, UT, ID or anywhere in...

    Alternator #1 no light

    I've looked here at the sticky's and the TM but can't find any answers so I'm asking for help. I think my alternator is good, it charges the battery. I can't get a light at start up on alt #1. There is power to the #1 alt with the key off. There is no power to the exciter wire key on or off...
