I just ran into the same issue with my second M1009. Sucking air somewhere in the filter base. After it sits a while I crank, it starts up them dies. Have to bleed the top bleeder a couple of times, getting a bunch of air. Once it pulses steady fuel, it will start. My other M1009 already...
Those are some great pictures. I can add that it also comes with different battery boxes, and replacment engine and transmission pans. One of my M1009's has them on it, my buddys has them on it and he has a complete extra kit. I have not found 1 CUCV up here that has the compete kit...
I use the 60G's with in the stock 24V system and they work great. The original ones were all swelled up when I removed them and I got REALLY lucky pulling the stuck one in the right rear!
Look at the top of the CUCV page and see the CUCV FAQ. That link has all links to the TM's on the very first page. Cucv Wiki - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite
I would suggest going through and reading that entire thread, then the CUCV stickys right below.
All of your questions...
Key
I had one from a long time ago when I was in Korea. Could not find it before I went to auction to buy an M1009 so I borrowed a buddies and made a copy. I got lucky and it came with an original key that was not very worn.
I have heard conflicting stories that there are up to 4 different...
Let me know
Billy, Let us know how the M1008 goes. I think you can get a smoking deal. See if he will throw in that civy one also, might be able to help move that if you wanted to get rid of it, Ill check. Im down here now in LA for the week but do have commo and will be back this weekend...
CUCV's in Anchorage
Welcome!
That white one looks like it might be sweet but a bit pricy for me, that’s why I have not jumped on it. I have watched that ad for a couple of months now.
Now for the bad news. The 1984 is no longer available, a buddy of mine bought it Friday afternoon, picked...
Thanks! Kind of funny you mention the wife........... My better half has decided that she would like to have a M1009 for herself to replace her Grand Cherokee that has seen its better days. Don’t have to tell me twice! I don’t think this one will be done soon enough for her liking but I do...
I was able to pick up a new alternator and belts on the way home tonight thanks to all the info posted on the FAQ thread. Even got to solinoid for the under dash mod listed in a different post. All I had to do is tell them a part number. Also was able to pick up a BUNCH of fusable link in...
LOL! I might find someone in charge inside and ask them what they plan to do with them and tell them my "position". Best case I convince them to turn them and and I get a chance at entire vehicles.
Thanks for trying! I will let you know about the alternator. I have a buddy up here that has a parts truck (already missing the bracket before I got this truck) but I think he has an old alternator.
Sad thing is that I know were there are a BUNCH of parts trucks here on post but that have...
Yes, I do need both but I was going to stop by the parts store on the way home for the alternator and see what I can find. The bracket is the hard one, what I really need. Thanks!
I recently picked up an M1009 at a local auction that in some ways is in really good condition and some ways not so good. It looks like someone at some time was going to change it over to 12v. I need to make it back to "right", back to 10 20 standards. Anyways, the driver's side alternator is...
All I can say is WOW..... And ME TO!!!!!
Ok, today I took your advice, got up early and sent the same email like you did before going to work. By 11:45 I got not one but TWO paid in full invoices from GL. It COULD be just a coincidence, one was 106 days and one was around 79 days. Yes...
Thanks for the info! I just sent an email like yours since Im sitting at 106 days now for one and 78 days for another. Im looking forward to an answer!
