Transmission fluid spurting out the vent tube
Hello, everyone. So my CUCV was not shifting well into the different gears. Specifically, it would take off fine in DRIVE or REVERSE but it would not easily change to the next higher gear when I built up speed. Also, it would not shift back down too well, either. Then, I got home with a... -
Starter not turning over
Hey, everyone. So I have two CUCVs. One had a good starter. I took the "bad" starter off the CUCV that would not start, and I put in its place the "good" starter from the one that did start (but that appears to have an injector problem -- clackety clack!). So once I had the good starter in... -
M-1010 winner in Richmond?
Hey, y'all, now that the auction is over, I think I am permitted to write about event 3973, lot 5870, a M1010 that GL mislisted as a "M1009 ambulance". I was up in Richmond on Tuesday, and I took a good look at this CUCV. She's a beauty. Since I had my M1009 with me, I also had my handy key... -

to Flush or not to Flush -- that's the question

Troubleshooting a transmission
Hi, everyone. I read some posts about transmission problems (i.e., "Loss of Power" post), but I was hoping someone could give me a rundown on the proper soup to nuts, by-the-numbers way to do a transmission troubleshoot. One of my M1009s is reluctant to take off, but it works fine once warm... -
Can't Jump My M1009
Hey, folks, I don't know what the deal is but I am having a hard time jumping my M1009 with my M1009. Yep, I got two. So I have the serviceable one running, and I pull right up to the dead one. I DO NOT HAVE A SLAVE CABLE. :evil: So I use my little jumper cables and when I hook them up, the...
