Not sure 100% what it is but NOT needed is what I do know. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucv-switches-diodes-relays.50551/#lg=post-575716&slide=1 Water in fuel diode.

I will probably spray it in and scrub as I go. I will be using the garden hose and washing and rinsing as I go. I know it will clean up nice. I did an area that had some dirty oil spilled on it and it came out nice. I am anxious to get it done. It is supposed to be at the GM dealer for Memorial...

And then just like that the M1009 disappeared. I was letting it run in the shop for about an hour and decided to put everything away from the doorway so I could pull it out into the sunlight. First time out since August 2019. I was also happy to see the dry floor with no spot from leaks. I think...

After work today it was a decent temperature for some outside painting of the vent window frames. No rubbers have arrived yet so I just set them out cleaned them up with prepsol and painted them. I have been looking at the fuel gauge and getting worried if it worked or not. I added a 5 gallon...

With the glass frames still in great shape I decided to let the frames attached. I sanded them well and cleaned everything really good. I taped up the glass and will paint it hopefully tomorrow if the weather holds out. I have purchased M4 screws, flat washers, and acorn nuts all in stainless...

Today was a damp dreary day after work so I decided to disassemble the wing vent frames. I drilled out the rivets and decided I would use a 10/24 truss screw that I ground down and polished flat as possible. I sanded all the parts and thoroughly cleaned them. Everything is taped up and ready for...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucv-head-gasket-head-or-change-engine-survey.137671/#lg=post-1712715&slide=5 I really like that weathered look on the gauges. My Mule M1009 had rusty speedometer and fuel gauge face. I think it added to the patina and being that everything worked perfect I...

No drain plug on the CUCV converter. And I can 100% guarantee the inside is contaminated with debris. As is the cooler in the radiator. Many people fail to have the radiators flushed out after a transmission failure. that is why I always seek outside help and professional services when...

OK I am back at it again. Both doors are missing the rubber bump stops at the bottom sash stop. I can always rely on something usable even on a scrap vehicle. Even after fire ax training the fire company doors have usable parts to harvest. A little dab of adhesive and good as new. I removed the...

I am slowed to a crawl at this point. Cleaning and lubrication are a must before reassembling. It takes hours and lots of cleaning but in the end it is well worth the time. It is nice when you can see your creation with instant results. These are all original parts that have been cleaned, ready...

A word of advise. There is much more to rebuilding automotive components than just opening it up and putting a few new parts inside. Moving forward I let competent people work on anything that requires special equipment and tools to do the job right. I like once and done. Good Luck. Armatures...

http://leidyrepair.com/ I have used this rebuilder for years. I also know that Fort Indiantown Gap uses them for rebuilding starters and alternators. Good Luck. I have had Chinese, Japanese, and no name brand starters and alternators. They either worked or they didn't I never had 1 that was...

Group 31 batteries come in a wide variety of cranking amps. The original CUCV batteries from the factory were the AC Delco 1111. Back in 1995 when I bought my first CUCV's they were still the original batteries and I was able to charge them on occasion. But I was quick to replace them with new...

Even with the shelter in place order in Pennsylvania the motor vehicle maintenance people are exempt. We all have Homeland Security clearance to report to work. Today was the day for windshield installation. The installer is an exempt company also. I had the seal/rubber in the basement since...

I had a partial shipment of parts received today. The wing vent latches. They are very nice and will look great. Now if only I could get the wing vent seals/rubber. I was looking at Red Riding Hood my 1984 M1009 that I have in my center bay. It was built August 1983 a very early build and it has...

After several weeks of on and off turn signals working and not working on the 1987 M1028 I decided the time was to make the discovery of the issue. I used the test light a probed all the fuses that pertained to lighting. The turn fuse on the mid side left on fuse box seems to be the issue. It...

Things are moving along at a crawl with the current COV19 situation being on top of the priorities. I do have plan for getting a few things completed over the weekend on my current project. I hope all are well and safe. Take care and be safe. I hope to post my progress as it happens.

WOW. I would find a complete uncut CUCV wiring harness and un cobble the current mess you have. That or get a stock truck and do a side by side comparison of what has been hacked and what can remain as it is. It sounds like a few things could be a mess and you could have a fire potential if you...
