Has anyone retrofitted the military antennas for any ham bands? Is there info anywhere on it?

Hi I have converted my M1009 to 12 volt with the Roscomm method (#2 on http://www.roscommonequipmentcenter.com/nn10.pdf ). My two batteries are wired parallel (+to+ and -to-) and everything runs off the passenger side alternator. The drivers side alternator is still bolted into the truck, but...

Hi guys, To start off with, I have a M1009. It is all original with the exception of being converted to 12 volts (didn't want to do that but couldn't find a 24v starter. Had to use civilian 12v starter). =============================================== ABRIDGED VERSION : I need the proper...

From what I gather my M1009 has the NP208 trasfer case. Well the bolts that hold the drivesaft to the transfer case came loose while offroading and the driveshaft hit the case cracking it....so I need to find a replacement. What other transfer cases will offer a direct drop in replacement that...

So I did a 12 volt conversion on my M1009. I know it is generally frowned upon, but I was backed into a corner and didn't have a choice. My starter blew up and I couldn't source a 24v replacement fast enough or cheap enough. I purchased a Duralast starter with a lifetime warranty for $80 (they...

Both of the alternator dummy lights on my dash use to light up when I first started the truck. Now only the Gen1 light illuminates....but when the truck is running my volt meter shows in the green (after a few minutes of running and the belt stops slipping lol) Most vehicles I've worked on in...

I have a suspicion that I may be having head gasket problems (hydrocarbons in the coolant). I have not tested to verify yet though. I If I do need to replace head gaskets, what do you guys recommend? Doing the actual job won't be an issue for me, but what parts should I pick up? Is there a...

I've been having starter issues since day one. I got my M1009 and it would not start. Just had a god awful grinding noise when you tried to start it. I crawled under it and found the starter was loose so I tightened it back up and it fired right up....but the starters case was cracked because...

I have a bit of an interest in military tires, but I don't really know much about them. I use my CUCV for driving around town and a lot of off road (desert dirt, rocks, water crossings, etc). Will military tires provide me any benefit over commercially available all terrain tires? Can someone...

I was trolling through old posts in the CUCV section and found posts that are dated from the 1960s and 1970s. When I click on those posts it is pretty much just a blank page with no post on it. See attached image. Not really hurting much, but a sign that something funky might be going on with...

Someone on a CUCV Facebook group mentioned someone here being able to trace back CUCV VINs to a specific unit or pull up other history on it. Who can do this? I'm interested to know some history on my M1009

I have a box of AC60s that I'm going to put into my 1009. I'm reading about people bypassing the resistors behind the air cleaner. What is the point of bypassing them? My system seems to work fine right now, I'm swapping out the glows for a maintenance thing.

For those of you who read my other thread, you know that my injector pump is leaking. Sometimes it doesn't leak at all, and other times it looks like the truck is peeing lol. Either way, it has to be fixed. I've been digging all over the internet for the past day or so trying to find information...

Hi guys. I just picked up a M1009. This is my first one. Its my first diesel vehicle for that matter. Its in great shape, however the IP is leaking on it. Are there seal kits available for the IPs? Can someone point me in the right direction? Also, What are the two things that are in the...
