    Long to Short Injector swap headaches

    That could very well be. We bolted the short lines up to the long injectors this afternoon. Not a bit of trouble making things fit that way. Once we finish painting the valve covers, we will put them on Monday and try the long lines with the short injectors.

    M1009 IP Leak

    My M1009 did fine until the first cold spell a few years ago. My leak and probably your leak as well was from the drive side throttle shaft seal. There is nothing wet near the mounting flange except engine oil from the timing gear area. Mine would leak anytime it was below 50° out. Then be...

    Long to Short Injector swap headaches

    I am putting a HMMWV can 6.2 in my M715. It had the long injectors which resulted in the #6 and #8 lines hitting my heater housing when we test fitted the engine. Not to worry I thought because Warthog has a 1988 CUCVII/contract military truck with a 6.2 and short injectors in my pasture. I...

    M1009 Pintle Strength and dropping a fuel tank

    I finally got a chance to look in the -20P. Taking the number for the bolts I assumed were 7/16" and doing a search gets this: http://www.ctg123.com/rapid-quote-system/request/?p=MS90728-92 Standard by the way I read it.

    Broken starter bolt

    If that doesn't work and you have a high pain tolerance. Remove the starter, clean up the bolt shaft and try welding a nut to it. A 3/8" nut welded on the inside should keep you from getting anything on the block. I would also suggest holding the nut with the welding ground lead because you...

    M1009 Pintle Strength and dropping a fuel tank

    Keith, I didn't even try metric on there. Didn't even think about it. 5/8 and 11/16 wrenches fit all of the fasteners I assumed where 7/16. 9/16 fit all of what I assume are 3/8 fasteners. Now you have me wondering. I will have to study the -P manuals to see if it list out what they are for...

    M1009 Pintle Strength and dropping a fuel tank

    LMC and O'Reilly's both have the straps at $29 the set. I thought about doing the threaded rod thing since I had all the stuff apart. My reasons for not fabbing something up was I want that 224 pound when full tank secure. Yes, the skid plate is a great safety net and I am a great welder...

    Cold Outside Air Through Firewall

    I second the kick panel vent door seal. I pulled a set off a truck the other day that had 1/4-1/2 inch gaps all around each door. No way is air going to be held by by that. Replacement doors are $29.99 each at LMC. Try putting duct tape on both housings and see if it stops.

    M1009 Pintle Strength and dropping a fuel tank

    I have been reading for years on here about how weak the M1009 pintle hitch really is. I have put thousands of miles pulling supposedly too heavy for the truck M101 trailers with no issues and no bending of anything. Granted, I haven't tried pulling any 105's or yanking trees out of the ground...

    CUCV turn signal stumper

    Sam, If everything works like it is supposed to with the lights off. Then goes stupid with the running lights on. The it almost for sure is the ground of one of the four running lights up front or the four rear running lights. My experience in 2 different 1009's and the Blue bomber Suburban...

    CUCV alternator symptoms, diagnosis and fix.

    Check at the positive and negative terminal for the battery charged by the alternator you are checking. Drivers side alternator does the front battery and passenger side alternator does the rear battery.

    Alternator Over Charging (yes, another one of these threads!)

    You need to narrow down which alternator is the problem. Put a volt meter across the terminals of a battery and then across both terminals of the other battery. 14.4 volts is what each battery should show with the engine running. If they are both there, hold the engine at a higher rpm and see...

    gp info.

    A good way to understand how long to give them power is to remove one. Set it in a vice and put 12 volts to it. Count how long it takes to get all red. If you don't have 60G plugs, that is your maximum glow time. If you do have 60G plugs, it really doesn't matter except for how much battery...

    M715 on tour to Pocking Germany

    Thanks for the pictures. What kind of bow corners do you have on your M101? They seem more rounded that most I have seen. Almost matching the M715 bow angles.

    erratic voltage reading with temp and speed on m1009

    Besides checking the belt for tightness. Check the nut on the front of the alternator shaft. It could be loose and the pulley is just free wheeling when you rev the engine. Otherwise, it is probably time for a take down and put new innards in there. You really only need a 15MM wrench to get...

    Thanks for doing this again Lincoln. I have kept that weekend clear just for this event.

    Best/ easiest method to add turnsignals to old deuce

    The plug for the 3 lever is different with blinkers in the system. That and the plugs for the signal arm and the blinker box are really what you need. Then of course a diagram showing how they all fit. PM me or send an email to: barrman@m715zone.com and I will send you what I think is a...

    best diesel engine to swap into early-model CJ5?

    One more odd ball forgotten small diesel to throw at you. Chevy had a 4.3 diesel in the 1987 or so for their front wheel drive cars. I looked into them a few years ago and stopped when I found my CJ-3A had a bunch of cracks in the frame.

    Temperature idiot light

    The trouble shooting section of the -20 manual takes you through how to test the light. The sensor is on the drivers side front cylinder head.

    4 Wheel Drive light staying on?

    Check the white wire going under the tcase shifter. It is probably grounding out.
