    M1009 Flooring

    My long term goal will be to spray the entire interior of my 1009 with Lizardskin sound deadener, then follow that with a coat of the ceramic thermal barrier. Since it's already too cold for me to spray those liners, I'd like a short term solution in terms of flooring. Winter is coming and...

    Talk to me about horns

    Ok, so I've been giddy like a 8 year old all week driving my baby around. Loving every deafening minute of it, however I need to do something about my horn. Or lack there of. It literally sounds like a mouse fart. Can't hear it over the 6.2. So i think it's either dead or about to be. When...

    Decoding/History of my M1009

    Back February, I acquired my M1009 from the Mounds, IL Police Dept via auction. Apparently the old police chief acquired a handful of military vehicles back in 2013/2014 with the intention of retrofitting them for police use, but that never happened, so they sat parked for 7-8 years. Flash to...

    Fluids, Flushes and Additives

    For at least the last 20 years I've been using strictly Royal Purple (motor oil) in my vehicles and I would say it has served me well as I have never had a vehicle with an engine issue or even any that leaked oil. Even though it's ~10 bucks a qt, I've been impressed enough to stick with it. I...

    Injector Pump advice

    So after sitting for over 7 years, I finally got my 85 M1009 running. She came to me without either of the alternators, dead as can be batteries and with a bad starter. Got the starter replaced and she cranked. Drained the fuel tank, changed oil and filter and got her turned over and running...

    Alternator wiring question

    Just got my CUCV running (needed new starter) and also just replaced the drivers side alternator. I have my pass side ready to go and mounted, but have not connected it since I am unsure of the wiring. I see two 10g red wires - one has an orange line with an inline fuse in it - and the 2 pin...

    Hello from Woodbridge, VA - aka NoVA/Northern VA

    Hello all. My 1985 M1009 was delivered today from southern IL. With used car prices being what they are today, I've never been happier to buy a non running truck almost as old as I am. She's going to need a bit of work as she's been sitting dormant for ~5 years and is missing both...
