Hey gents -- I have a buddy in Wakarusa, KS who has a bunch of CUCV and assorted other parts to send my way (antenna, radio shelf, NATO slave cable, etc... -- a fair bit of "stuff"), and I was hoping someone might be heading through eastbound on I-70 and be willing to tote it as far as I-70 and...

Yes, it's hillbilly, but, by God, it worked! I got tired of the local Fastenall's inability to get me an M16 bolt with the right thread pitch of sufficient length to use (the long ones they ordered in were all only partially threaded), so I just took a bolt of stock length and welded a Grade 8...

After a good bit of searching, I see lots of mention of bad harmonic balancers and some stories about bent crank pulleys, but I'm wondering whether my crank "wobble" is enough to worry about, and I have yet to find a thread that addresses this matter. In short, I have been looking my M1009 over...

This one's been driving me nuts, guys. Under load, when accelerating, my M1009 makes a light chirp/knock (really more of a tap -- it's higher-pitched than a knock) . As soon as I let off the pedal, it's gone, and if I accelerate very modestly, it doesn't make noise. I can't replicate it in...

I just installed a hood pad in my 1009, and wonder whether the "new" noise I'm hearing is really new at all, or just newly audible with the hood pad installed... Anyway, I now hear a faint chirp/tap (or even light knock) under acceleration; it varies with engine rpm, and is only audible when...

Alright, folks, I've about worn out the search function trying to wrap my mind around this one. I have just installed an Autometer water temp gauge, and now my voltmeter reads in the yellow even with the key off. If I pull the water temp gauge out (so that it's no longer making contact with...

I've seen lots of posts discussing the replacement of window seals, but have yet to find one that details any pitfalls or areas of concern, or specific instructions on HOW this is done. I'm replacing the scrapers (or seals, whatever you want to call them) on both doors -- part # 4 on the LMC...

My M1009 had an inop horn when I bought it, so I dug in this evening. I checked the diode, just for fun, and it looked cooked... so out it came. Still no horn, but the relay clicked, so I checked the physical connections. Someone cut both the horn wire and the blackout driving light wire...

I am hoping to look at a couple of CUCV's soon, and besides the obvious (for me, RUST and blowby, neither of which I want to deal with!), what are some good things to check on a CUCV? I am a diesel guy, to a degree, but have owned primarily VW and Mercedes oil burners. We do the "teapot" test...
