    M1009 Starter/Switch help.. need some pointers.

    While you are under the hood look at all the fusible link wires. i think it sounds a bit like a burnt fusible link wire. It may be the one that runs the width of the firewall under the hood. That blue end of the wire where it connects to the power point at the left of the master cylinder. get a...

    Easter find M1008 2015

    With the dew point at a bit over 70% it will be a while for the paint to dry. I am not in a hurry at all. I have plenty of other things to do. the inside floor and kick areas of the cab will be Line Xed. That seems to be the best for all my vehicles. It holds up well and to date I have not seen...

    M1009 Starter/Switch help.. need some pointers.

    Neutral safety switch at the bottom of the steering column under the dash. I didn't think that would not allow you to crank that just has Back up wires going to it. Worth a try. The vehicle is still 24volt?

    Easter find M1008 2015

    Rain was in the forecast. So I quick mowed lawn and sprayed the sealer on the cab edges. Lunch time and let the sealer dry. After running the Wife to harbor freight I decided to use the old gun and keep the new one for the entire repaint. She was none the wiser. 1st coat and outside to do...

    Terminus M1009

    Not exactly the wash down I had in mind for Terminus M1009. But it was free and no effort on my part. I just finished mowing the grass and this storm rolled in on me. Oh well into all projects a little rain must fall. About 3" in a hour. It did not help get Terminus M1009 clean on the sides and...

    M1009 Starter/Switch help.. need some pointers.

    Just unplug the stock relay and jump across the outer 2 wires. That will tell you if it is the relay. i have all OEM relays on my trucks. never cut any wiring. But that's me do as you wish. 1 new relay and a good set of batteries will cure all that relay issue. Only time I ever had issues was...

    What now?? Fuel pump?

    Yes in fact they do leak when they fail. It is fairly easy part to replace. i do mine from the top side. I disconnect the batteries and remove the right alternator and brackets. But you may do which ever way is best for you. Just make sure you get the right pump the first time. I have bought the...

    Easter find M1008 2015

    I wheeled the cab cart out and did all the edge sanding. I want to paint all the edges tomorrow afternoon and get rolling on getting the cab back on the frame. I received the new Energy Suspension sway bar bushings in the mail today and want to get them on in the AM. I would have had the...

    Terminus M1009

    Today i installed the reinforced cross-member. I like it it fits well and looks good. I think it will add a bit of strength. Can't make it any weaker that's for sure. It was a bit heavier and I put it ion by myself. I drilled all the holes out to 1/2" I was going to use 5/8" but figured I was...

    NP 208 transfer case brace

    I agree whole heartedly. My point was at $45. with the bolts and all it was a good deal. This item is longer then standard shipping. And I also want to point out that is someone was going out crawling under a vehicle and taking the rod off and selling it for less. They like working for free. At...

    NP 208 transfer case brace

    Price: US $45.00 Man there goes my European vacation I had planed from the sale of my 2 used strut rods. Someone always undercutting me. How much fun discussion can you have with a piece of 5/8" round stock? I was unaware anyone was looking for one. I just had a few and wanted to add one to my...

    Terminus M1009

    Once I get this cross-member reinstalled the other things will fall into place. I have 10 days off work and this is my vacation time. i spend it wisely IMHO. Not sitting at the beach. I will check the mileage a report back.

    Terminus M1009

    I spent some time after work at work doing some welding and fabrication of Terminus M1009 Transmission/transfer case cross-member. I am happy with the results. I added a set of Energy Suspension mounts to the build. I also made/cut/drilled a set of 1/2" X 2" flat bar plates to go on the bottom...

    Stupid question about right floor of M1028

    I would do away with it. It is a roof over a rust whore house. Scrap. Or cut with disc and remove and keep it. Someone might want it. Not me.

    Stupid question about right floor of M1028

    Its bigger then that and it is on the passengers side floor I would say 8" X 8" and about 1/2" rise with 4 riv-nuts 1/4"-5/16" imbedded in the top. I never seen anything mounted to them. I cut them out and sand the welds smooth. Less wear and tear on the floor mat. Anyone know? Maybe part of a...

    Alternator part

    That is what confused me. I never seen one before on a CUCV. I don't rebuild my own alternators or starters. I have taken them apart already. I tapped into a few to install hour meters. Thank you for the clarity in identifying the part.

    Bolt-on frame boxing

    It's more like bored guys creating drama to give themselves something to be excited about. I think the excitement is all you. I know I learned a lot from the gentlemen that are posting facts. NOT a thing from the guys that go on the defense every time someone has documentation that proves the...
