    M1009 Slight hesitation then surging at highway speed.

    Is it just me, or does a whole quart of 2-cycle oil sound like a lot to add in a fill-up?

    CUCV addiction ....

    How the heck did this thread get dug up after 3 years?

    m1009 before and after

    If anything, the taller tires increase your fuel mileage as the engine isn't running at fast at the same roadspeeds as it was with the smaller tires. (Bigger tires=bigger circumference=more distance per full revolution of the tire)

    Steering knuckle boot

    EVERYBODY! Saturn Surplus, OD Iron, Eastern Surplus, CSI, SECO, TNJ Murray, Coleman's Surplus, Also, you probably don't want the zippered boots. If you do a search for "knuckle boots" there are a couple of threads with all the information you should need. (Cause I can't remember it all of the...

    How noisy is your 6.2 lit. M1009

    If you want to quiet down your 1009, start driving your stock deuce on the highway without ear protection. It'll quiet everything down!

    underpowered winch?

    If you want the full 13,000 lbs of truck weight applied to the winch line, you'd have to hang the truck from the ceiling by the winch, or get it on a literally vertical incline... mgsin(theta)

    86 6.2 glow plug module repair

    What are the specifications for the Z4 diode? I think someone said it was a 24V 1 Watt diode, but I'm not sure. Based on this page, it looks like replacing a burnt out diode should be a VERY inexpensive and relatively easy solution to a burnt up GP card...

    Steering Column Removal - M1009

    The dimmer switch is actuated by a rod connected to the turn signal lever. As you pull the lever towards you, it pushes a rod down along the top of the column, actuating the physical switch. The ignition switch works the same way. As you twist the key, it pushes a rod which moves the ignition...

    1985 m1009

    The vast majority of the CUCV's issues are either electrical first or secondly, the front end. The electrical system is like everyone has been saying- It's a quarter of a century old, so it generally needs some cleaning and double checking, especially of the ground connections. Also, since it...

    Overland Park Ks bans Mv's at home

    When/if folks start working on getting this reversed, going out all blood-thirsty and pissed off isn't the way to do it. You'll just immediately ruin any chance of any body helping you fix anything. Try to understand what the folks who passed it were concerned about, and work on assuaging their...

    Alternate cold starting system to aid GP system

    I'm pretty sure that's what he was thinking of. I think there's definitely a need for something better than the dang glowplugs in these things, but the point has been raised that since these things won't start without cycling the GPs even on an 80° day, you'd need some serious heat. But...

    Took my deuce across America

    Thanks for the writeup and the pictures! Looks like fun!

    NOT a deuce, but definitely a sweet MV.

    Raptors and JSFs are built in Marietta, so that's definitely a F/A 18

    1st things to do, to my M1009

    Doghead starter relay mod... I'd also start studying the electrical system pretty heavily so you are prepared when it starts to have exceptionally weird electrical issues.

    CUCV tool kit...what do you carry?

    I think the best way to get a paper copy is to take the .pdf on a thumb drive to a Kinkos or something similar and have them print you a copy and 3-hole punch it for a binder.
