I suspect that is a relay for the glow plugs. The starter relay is up under the dash where the stock radio would be. I could be wrong. But pictures are hard to tell. The battery hold down and batteries are in need of some attention. Do both batteries have good CCA and have they been load tested...

The entire day was very busy. I finished it out with the completed door and fender, Now lets try this again. I feel like I am working backwards. But this is just a small part of my current project schedule. I have the driveway lined up. Fun Fun. Have a Great Day and a Great Weekend. Be Safe.

https://www.bubbarope.com/ This my friend is a Bubba Rope. I pulled many vehicles out of rough situations with one of these ropes. I wear thru 1 about every 2 years. https://www.bubbarope.com/recovery-ropes/big-bubba-20-foot I am currently using this rope. I also spooled a few winches with...

I would like to see a few pictures of the cutaway van. I work at an up fitter and in 1995 we up fitted several hundred blue Air Force and white Navy Chevrolet G30 Chevrolet cutaways. They were expediter trucks for use on the flight line. They had a heater in the rear and if I remember correctly...

I don't think there is anything in the front of an alternator to service but the bearing.

What? That is the same shape and sheet metal a CUCV has. And please don't hook anything on that pintle hook you attached. That is very weak even with a crossbar. honestly The M1009 Pintle was weak from day 1. I ripped a few right off the trucks with a Bubba Rope. Good Luck,

Never had any problems. I sprayed CARC for years. It dries fine as long as you mix it right and use the correct thinner. MEK fast dry and peels easily. MAK slow dry and seems to have much better adhesion. Now with the Alkyd Enamel in lusterless black. It is like painting my barn. No harmful...

All 5 M1009 wheels are sanded. I had to force myself to hand sand all 5 wheels. In the end it is completed and will look good all around. I did learn a lesson. Add hardener to sealing primer. It will never dry. I had to tell myself this the entire time I was hand sanding the wheels. At times I...

Yesterday was a move forward. Not far but forward counts. I hand sanded 3 of 5- M1009 wheels and worked on getting the left fender dents repaired. The slip with the prybar was an unscheduled event. It did get the door to fender gap correct. And that counts also. Something on the left side was...

I am assuming that this does not have the stock bed on it. Or if it does that is an unusual place for a Robin to nest. I always have them on steering tires of truck chassis. Up under the front fender. Smart bird. I have Doves nest 2 feet from the air compressor every year. They set on the nest...

Also remember to have the cylinder heads checked closely at a competent automotive machine shop. To just pull the heads put new gaskets and bolts is about as bad as just running it as is. Do it right the first time. I have had many heads come ack as marked cracked and chose not to use them. They...

If you use studs I hope you have the engine out. I rebuilt and changed countless 6.2 heads and engines. The good old Fel Pro head bolts always worked for me. These are just 135 HP engines. Not hi performance diesel engines. Do as you wish. Anything over standard parts for a stock engine is a...

I have to just make a little progress everyday and I am happy. But when it rains 2" one day and 3" the next it makes progress hard. I don't like working in a closed up barn. I am much happier out in the dirt and stones. My m1009 project is crawling along. The other work has people waiting. I...

No slack time here. I have been working on repairing and painting a Kubota tractor for a customer. Meanwhile over the weekend I damaged the left fender on my M1009 project. It was a minor fender to door gap adjustment that turned into a slip and hit on the fender and door edge. No problem. It...

Both alternators are the same on OEM vehicles. That bushing in the rear mount is available at an alternator shop. Good Luck. The way the CUCV rattles and Hums you would never hear that squeak at 3K rpm's.

Who rebuilt it the 3 Stooges? https://youtu.be/wpIdOgxQSpg

This is the one you want to get. It works great and you can get the lug boots also from the same company. Good Luck.

I don't think that fits the military wiring harness. The Packard plug on the military CUCV is different than the civilian models. But easy enough to cut the plugs from a scrap military plug and just use them to splice to a flat 4.

The pictures you are about to see are very grafic in nature. Intercepted. Saved from the shredder because of gear oil and transmission fluid leaking during processing. Shame. I spent countless hours in that truck. It was refused for scrap processing. Still has a load of good parts.
