    Wiring harness

    I do have a complete parts M1009 but the price will be the same. I have the rear harness for a pickup. At this point I think it may be wise to figure out if you need everything complete or just parts. I have a few harnesses that I use for parts and connections. Sometimes it makes more sense to...

    https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucvrus-repair-projects.192437/page-7 Check everything fuel related at this point it sounds like it is dropping the fuel prime and dying out. check under the intake and under the fuel pump. You need to have an air tight system. It may not even be wet and it...

    Wiring harness

    Someone else thought that was a good deal. I sold the harness. They have been playing with a burnt harness for the past month. I can't make these long discontinued parts. They are hard to find at this late date.

    M1008 - electric setup/glow plugs/loose cable

    loose battery connections can do it every other time or once a month. As long as it can arc and catch its good. No arc and its done. Start at the top and work your way back. Batteries and connections are the main supply routes for power. From that point I can't see what I am working on so it is...

    M1008 - electric setup/glow plugs/loose cable

    Don't go hacking into the system till you figure out what the problem is. These mods are not the cure all to a minor issue like a loose or burnt connection. Stick with the plan and find the issue. The batteries and battery cables are the first place I would go and do replacement. the cables you...

    Wiring harness

    Entire wiring harness removed from an M1008 $500. I was told too much. Am I out of line here? I can't warranty it but it was removed from a running rusted M1008. These parts are very hard to find.

    Mechanical fuel pump replacement

    Ok that may be but I think when I start the bolts by hand loosely the fuel pump lever depresses as I evenly tighten both bolts. I never gave it much thought as to why the bolts tighten with a bit resistance till you mention it but I knew they weren't cross threaded that is why I started them by...

    Mechanical fuel pump replacement

    I never cranked or turned an engine to get the rod up in the engine. I can't be that lucky every time. I just put chassis grease on the rod and shove it up in there. Then I put the engine cover plate on with the 2 bolts finger tight and reach up in again and assure that the rod is up in. I then...

    Electrical help needed.

    Now after reading over the symptoms again I feel that a close examination and testing of all the fusible links under the buss bar on the passengers side is needed. Make sure one of them has not melted thru. I would really check all the connections closely and make sure you have current. A test...

    Electrical help needed.

    After reviewing the issues you have presented I would like to take a guess of the starter being bad. And it is not a waste of time at this point. Getting the CUCV starter refreshed as a precaution is not a bad idea. Why wait for it to fail? I would simply disconnect the batteries again and crawl...

    No Start Issue Since Dying While Driving

    I may be wrong but when I pull that fuse it disables the glow plugs system and the wait light goes out. I will be sure to check that and verify. Like I said I had several that were hacked up from DRMO and still was able to start them with jumper wires and a jump pack hooked up. Never seen a fuse...

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

    Save the under hood area from road wetness and dirt. Get the rubber filler panels in place. They work.

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

    No you are correct. 31 X 10.5 x 15 are stock. I just wanted to run some brand new LT23575R15 snow tires on a set of stock civilian narrow wheels for the sake of doing it. They worked great in the mud and swampy areas. But in the rocks they were a sad disappointment. I ran most of the day on 3...

    No Start Issue Since Dying While Driving

    What fuse are you referring to that controls the injection pump? I want to learn. I never seen a fuse that controls the injection pump. Do tell. I would think it has a fusible link and don't know that either. I mean I started some CUCV engines that had the wiring hacked to pieces and no fuse box...

    I would not be the official to certify that. Just look at the lever. And if it has any free play on depression it is the wrong one. It should have resistance immediately upon depression. That is the dead give away. Onto another issue. Have any of you done a lot of work and spent lots of money...

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

    Bring it up to Rausch Creek lets see if they beat the stock size tires. And these are the stock civilian tires LT23575R16. Bigger is not always better.

    Steering stabilizer bolt broke?

    I have that bolt. I would also check all the tie rod ends. I never had any luck just changing the steering stabilizer. Also make sure the calipers are returning to neutral after braking. That creates uneven drag and makes the wobble also. Good Luck. You can weld the stud on also. It never needs...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I completed the work on the Jersey Indian last night. I took it out for a test drive and the belts squealed so long and loud I had to go back and attempt to tighten them. They are at the maximum adjustment. I proceeded to the parts store and did the walk in and out till I found belts that fit...
