    Negitive ground or positive ground

    To get the 12 ounces out of the transmission. You can go in through the fill plug and suck, siphon, scoop it out. Or, you can pull the drain and try to put the drain back on real fast. I saw that truck just a week or so ago and the clutch wasn't slipping any. At least the tires were...

    Stupid Question Number 5280

    Calling it a M35 isn't accurate. However, calling it an XM291 or whatever it was that REO called their experimental 4x4 based on a M35 would be about the same as the tribute gun trucks. That is my opinion, not a legal one.

    trailer wireing took out the flasher , why ?

    Those flasher units are very delicate. Just looking at a stray ground while messing with the blinker system will cause them to go. You probably contacted another pin, the flap or the case of the plug with the test light. Or, since you didn't seem to hear a short. Check the ground of the...

    fuel priming help

    The new sender you installed should have had an extra line. You probably put the rubber cap from the old sender on the extra line. Reach in by the passenger rear tire, pull the cap and put 1-3 psi of air in there. Open the bleeder at the filter and you should get all air and bubbles out...

    Ok who rolled thier Deuce near Uhland Texas?

    Boxcar drove through the big town of Uhland after I called to ask about his truck. He said nothing was on TX21 or in the ditch. Could have been the FM road that ends up at Cabella's since those are the only two roads in the entire town. Whoever it was, no evidence was left in the afternoon.

    Front battery won't hold charge.

    Seems you figured out what you need to fix. Just wanted to point out something stated wrongly. Yes, the drivers side alternator charges the front battery. However, they do not "both charge the rear". The passenger side alternator charges the rear battery. 1 alternator charges 1 battery.

    Identifying Texas FMV owners

    Thanks for posting the laws in detail. I carry a copy of this in all my MV's. I have only been pulled over twice registered as a FMV in the last 5 years. One time because the officer thought I had stolen the truck from the military. Showing him all the laws and letting him digest it...

    Welcome to the fun of owning green iron. Your M1009 is basically a 12 volt Chevy Blazer with another alternator and battery to supply the glow plug system and the starter motor. This allowed any military vehicle to jump start the CUCV. The CUCV could jump start any other vehicle and the...
