There is a member in Kingwood with a few M1009's and civi blazers, Ol Ag '89. He is a great guy that would probably show you all around one. My sister is in Magnolia and I drive my 1009 down there every now and then. Then there are the guys at the museum on Wallaceville road. They have just...

Sorry about not remembering your face, name and username. It was nice to meet you back in March. I just wish I could remember names better.

Go get your box back. It screws on real easily. It is silver, covered in crud and probably in their trash can by now.

I forgot to add that when I put a new pump on my M1009 last fall, I put it in just a hair advanced. Had the no turn off condition as well until I swapped in the old cover. The thing is much louder at idle, lots more power and I haven't been above 18 mpg since either. Used to get 20-22. I...

Does it run louder or quieter than before? That is the best indicator of timing without the very hard to find and costly timing gear. Advance gives a bit more power and a lot more noise. By advanced, I mean the pump line is 1/16" to the drivers side of the line on the block. Not much does a...

I will have to crawl under and look at it again. Hopefully, I will remember tonight.

Pull the speedo, oil the little flywheel on there and make sure it spins free of the needle. You will understand when you look at it. Hook it up to a drill and test it out. Most cordless drill will spin the needle up to 35 or so on low and around 80 on high. Go easy with the trigger on and...

We have had 4 gatherings in College Station over the last 2 years. That is only 60 miles from you. Interest fell away and we only had a few at our last event in March. There will probably be something on the weekend of the BMJP show the 3rd weekend of March next year. It just hasn't been...

Yes, or at least I have always pulled the wheel to do it. The metal arm that hooks onto the blinker switch needs to be pulled off and the wheel has to be gone to do that.

You can also use a screw driver on the top of the column between the wheel and the column. Push the pin back, turn the wheel and then repeat until it is steering the direction you want. Takes a while, but no special tools are needed and the truck is still all together. I would suggest reading...

If you have the pump sitting like it would in the truck, nothing will pop out during a normal cover swap. Read the manual though. You have to slide the cover back in a bit or the truck won't turn off. Very easy swap to do in just a minute or so.

Yes, the spin on air filter is mentioned in the 5th update to the -20. You don't have that version? That is what I get for trying to watch tv, talk to my son and listen to my wife while I am on the computer. Sorry. Back to the original problem. The more you post, the more it seems you...

I really don't think the glow plugs are your main problem. A healthy 6.2 should fire up in less than 1 or 2 seconds. That is cold with a proper glow plug system or anytime it has been sitting after being run without the glow plugs coming on. I would suggest a starter motor check, battery...

To hopefully finish out the propane discussion. Many propane kits, back 20 years ago when there were a bunch of kits out there, had a mixer that bolted somewhere under the hood. Then a hose that hooked into the air filter housing somehow. Turn of the electric gasoline fuel pump, turn on the...

While you have the cluster out, put a meter on the pins for the dash lights. Verify you are actually getting power to the cluster. It could be just a plain old 28 year old worn out light switch is your problem.

Joe, you already sent me replacement front seat belts a year or so ago. Yes, that is the same kid that was dwarfed by ABLinns chair back in 2006. Chris, Joe supplied the harness. You will have to contact him about pricing.

As suggested above, read the -10 manual for the truck. The manuals are available under the "resource" tab at the top of this page. Welcome to the site, doing a search of M35 sprag threads will tell you more than you can imagine about them. Welcome to the fun by the way.

I didn't count, but there are probably a dozen CUCV projects being documented on this site. Just this week. So, there isn't any need to add another. This falls more into the "what where they thinking" catagory. I got this truck from Mark in San Antonio after he got it from GSA in LA. Turns...

Well, the phrase is "If a hammer doesn't fix it, then you have an electrical problem." Which fits this thread just fine.

They tried to get a count over on the 715 Zone. I think they are up to 800 or so report serial numbers now. Not all 715 owners go there, have a computer or care. I would guess about 10-20% of the original production are still around in civilian hands.
