    Hopefully this works. The Arizona Military Vehicle Collectors Club put on a trail ride about 40 some miles West of Phoenix in Tonopah AZ. They just put this video up, and on their Facebook site they have 84 photos posted of the event. This was the first outing for my "new to me" 1965, Kaiser...

    I Can't Edit my Signature

    I've tried several times to edit my signature, but it just tells me I have 19 too many lines of information, and won't let me delete, or add any other information. I'm not a computer wiz, so I'm relying on one of you guys to guide me in my lack of understanding - Thanks, AZ

    Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen: My driver's side door latch failed, I read the SS article regarding repairing a broken door latch, and decided to take mine apart and beat it back into submission. But alas worn parts was not my issue, a broken spring was....you know that "curly Q" one...

    Gentlemen About 2 years ago my M1009 had the flex plate come apart, it tore off at the center leaving the center still bolted to the crank, but the rest of the flex plate (FP) was completely disengaged from the center. Fortunately it still ran and started, but I knew this was NOT a good...

    Deuce Starter Question

    Gentlemen: I have manuals but they are still packed away from when I moved, so I got a question(s). For the last year or so occasionally my Deuce wouldn't start, it would just "click." I'd manipulate the starter button and it would start, so I always figured it was the start button. But...

    350 to 6.2 Conversion

    I have a possible donor M1009 with a good motor and transmission/transfer. I see a lot of 350 Suburbans with bad engines cheap. I'd like a 4-door "Blazer" with A/C and a stereo. So what would be involved to install a 6.2 with a 12V starter into a former gas engined truck? Has anyone done this...

    Bumper Light Modification

    Gentlemen: I would like to use the black out lights in the rear bumper as auxilary turn signals. I took one apart today, and there isn't much room within the case for using a normal light bulb, I've seen some of you use strips of LED lights to light up the dash panel on the M35A2 deuce. Would...

    Multifuel Coolant System Questions

    I looked up the Organization Maintence Manual in the Resources section, but it did not address my question. I replaced what I thought was all the hoses on the cooling system a few months ago, those down the left side of the engine, and those around the water pump and radiator, then I noticed...

    CUCV Alternator Rebuild Question

    I screwed up. I forgot to draw a diagram of the inside of the ALT before I disassembled her. I figured I had run off a copy of the Delco-Remey manual I found on this site and was good to go as it had pictures. But when I went to reassemble it I ran into a dilema, the picture doesn't match my...

    I've had my M1009 for about 7 years now and for the most part she has been a very reliable vehicle, but in the last several months she has been quite demanding of my attention!
