    Desperate for a set of heads for my M1009

    I've got two complete 6.2 motors that I picked up from GL. I don't know what shipping would be for just the heads though

    GL %^#^&&*

    Thats nothing, I just saw a listing on a live auction that stated vehicle runs. In the picture, written write on the windshield are the words "WILL NOT RUN". I guess I got lucky with the last 1009 I won. I didn't preview it, just bid and picked up, only needed a battery and runs fine---for now!

    Dash pad removal

    I just did mine the other day to paint and trace a windshield leak. Basically just undo all the little bolts on the passenger side, including the radio brace (and don't forget the screw on the side of the dash pad). Then undo the screws that hold the dash panel on, pull the dash panel away...

    Strange knocking/rattling noise in rear

    When I let off the gas I hear a loud knocking noise coming from the rear of the 1009. I did notice that my right rear tire has no wheel weight, so maybe its causing enough vibration to rattle something?? What could cause a loud noise in the rear end when you let off gas? It seems to happen...

    Hard starting, IP leaking

    I was under the impression that it would swap over, you'd just have to switch the electrical crap from the cucv IP to the hmmwv IP

    Hard starting, IP leaking

    I know all about picking up a spare 6.2. I just won two of them in containers from Redstone, AL. Waiting on my EUC to clear to pick them up. Won them for the $150 a piece

    Hard starting, IP leaking

    Yes, its hard to start after sitting at night or even sitting after a long day, how would I test the cold advance

    Hard starting, IP leaking

    It runs fine after if starts up. I can shut it off, and it'll will fire right up if not sitting for more than 5 hours. I noticed too that after it warms up, the leak stops

    Hard starting, IP leaking

    Its hard to start the 1009 in the mornings. I know the injection pump is leaking at the throttle shaft seal. Am I right to assume that the reason its hard to start up at first is because the fuel leaks out of the pump? My glow plugs are working, I think (I hear the relay clicking and I notice...

    Lots of water on the floorboard

    I replaced all of my weatherstripping last week. Today was our first day of good rain. I noticed that a lot of water has gathered on my driver's side floorboard. It looks like the water came in from the vent area near my feet. Is there a seal down there somewhere that is prone to leakage?

    Won 2 6.2 engines

    I just won from GL, (2) 6.2 engines from a hmmwv. What are the chances these will be in running condition? I didn't pay much for them at all....

    IP switch

    Exactly what would that involve? I've got a 6.2 from a cucv, complete. Do I have the right stuff to swap onto the injection pump?

    vibration at 55mph in m1008

    When I picked up my 1009 three weeks ago it would vibrate around 55-65 mph. I took it to the local tire place and every tire was dry rotted. I had them put 4 new tires on (BF all terrain) and the vibration went away.

    IP switch

    Will the IP from a 6.2 out of a Humvee fit onto a 6.2 from a cucv? I've found quite a few complete 6.2 engies for sale and was curious.
