Check your flasher in the fuse box for the blinkers. Go back through your fuses and check your grounds. There is a ground near the brake release that can cause all kinds of issues. I had similar issues with mine and slowly but surely this site helped me get it going again and passing the...

Tomball, TX and owner of an m1009 and looking for an m1008 or possibly another m1009.

If you are having issues with the fuel filter you may want to consider doing a mod and convert to a spin on type of filter. Would solve the issue and IMO is a better solution. You could also convert to a manual glow plug system by adding a push button glow plug. I've got both on mine and...

Cucvnut, Never said I knew anything about the situation. I simply proposed a different scenario that until StonePicker added the rest of the story was a possibility. No reason to be condescending when I was simply proposing a possibility. You're right, I've only been around a short time and...

I don't know the guy but I would bet the tire service was the ones doing the underhanded deal and the first guy paid full price and they then charged you again and the 1/2 you paid was pure profit. Maybe he did but I think this is more likely.

You have any more info on this "I used the aluminum 2 piece adapters and wheel/tire assemblies from Rodney up in Wisconsin"? Links, pics, whatever. I've been wanting to do this but didn't want to buy new wheels to get the 16.5"

That's going to depend on what you do with the truck. Yes, it is weak if you put large tires on. Will it break, sure if you beat on it. Does it improve the look yes it does. Does it reduce RPMs at highway speed, sure. The 10 bolts and 5 lugs are weak when you start getting into 35"-37"+...

As others have stated, it's good cheap insurance and will not hurt a thing and will help in the TN summers with heat build up.

Could you post a few pics of the mods to the base? That sounds like another good option and would love to see the mods. Thanks

That looks really clean but I like the Dodge in the background, that thing is awesome!

I'll try to be there. Pick a date/time and see what kind of commits you get.

Resolved, no, figured out what it is yes. The issue is definitely in the radio or mic. I hooked up a buddies radio and mic and I was able to send and receive. It was getting dark on us so we didn't have time to swap mics to see where the issue is but I don't think I'm stuck in transmit since...

Update: Got the CB wired in and the antenna secured. Adjusted the antenna and to my surprise got the SWR much better than I had hoped for. On channel 20 I got SWR down to 1.3:1 which most consider good. However I hit a snag. I'm transmitting but cannot receive. It looks like it may be a...

In TX they list on craigslist from $1500 for a project up to $8000 for fully restored. Condition and location vary greatly. With rust and in San Antonio I'd guess around $3000 for a decent truck. I gave $1700 for mine with dents and rust and some mechanical and electrical issues. This was...

Here's the user's name: shorad93 and his ad is on page two right now.

There is a member you has some custom made for the cucv. I don't remember his username but I'm sure a quick search will find it.

Guys, I'm by no means an expert on this and will probably screw up a few parts as I go through this process. Most of my information has come from this site so I can't take credit for any of this. That being said I will try to document as I go through this. Tonight I got the brush guard and...

While the AB-15 base works great the AB-558 fits the CUCV antenna mount without having to fabricate a bracket to attach. It also looks better IMO.

No, not if he's running the original 24v. If it has been converted to 12v then you could but why. Better to tie into the fuse block and use keyed power (power that is only on when the key is in accessories or run mode) This will prevent battery drain when you forget to turn the CB off. IMO...

No, I think this is a great idea and I'm in the process of doing this right now on my M1009. Here's what I gathered and decided to do on my 1009: Antenna base: AB-558/GR The nice thing with this base is the standard CB antenna cord screws right in. The kit is 5820-00-938-0247 Antenna...
