A fast way to check which corner is the problem is to look under the truck at the inside of the tires. The one all wet is your problem. Buy new parts since calipers and wheel cylinders are only about a dollar or two more than the rebuild kits, remove and replace the broken part, bleed...

Are the sides of the battery ballooned out? That is one symptom of an over charge.

Mine has never liked starting with any throttle applied. Just enough for the fast idle to hold it down a little. She might hae been pumping enough to make that happen and holding it down further. That is the only theory that makes sense so far.

Kind of depends on the weather. Last year Friday was basically the only day of the swap meet because Saturday was a flood. If you are looking for something rare, show up Friday. If you are just needing basic MV parts, Saturday will work. Another thing is that most of the big MV parts houses...

The small bucket lights were stock on all the M series trucks up until the 1970 time frame. M715's had them during their entire production run of 1967-1969. M35's made the switch to the big bucket lights about the same time. As pointed out, the early small buckets had service stop and...

This is going to sound cruel, but it needs to be said. You own an experimental vehicle. We can help you fix a stock CUCV wiring system, but since you and the previous owner are the engineers that designed your current vehicle. You will have to figure out how to fix it. Reading the manuals...

I will let you know.

Turn your headlights on. If they don't dim when you try to start, power isn't getting to the starter. Check relay and solenoid. If they do dim when trying to start and stay dim after you tried. You probably have a bad battery. If they go out and don't come back when you try. Then you...

She didn't want to do a re enactment and I didn't make a deal about it. She did watch me start it with just my hand inside the truck that night. She claims nothing was touched. I will get her in the drivers seat one of these days and watch. I was amazed at how loud the starter was over the...

Thanks Jeff. I had the manual open in my hand as I hooked up the unit and started trying to make it work. That is what I get for just reading how to hook it up and turn it on I guess.

I borrowed a STE/ICE from another member and tried it out today. Only 1 of the 4 display windows works. It isn't mine, so if it is broken, it is broken. However, has anybody taken one apart and done something to make the display work again? Thanks. I like to return stuff in better shape...

I had to haul 17 Scouts and 3 leaders 60 miles away last Saturday. The other leaders in their normal vehicles and my 2000 Suburban were the only vehicles that would work for that trip. That meant my wife would have to drive a MV if she went to town. She called me up and said she was in the...

I have both and use them in different ways: Run to the store= M1009 Pick up son at school= anything green Drive to work= M1009 Go junk yarding=M1009 M715 Driving around the country looking at stuff=M1009 Pulling a trailer=M35 or M715 Pulling a big trailer=M35 Pulling another...

The starter solenoid is supposed to push out the Bendix starter pinion drive gear to engage the ring gear on the flywheel. The solenoid also "turns on" the starter. Sounds like yours is only doing half the work it is supposed to. Drop the starter and test it on the ground for very solenoid...

Yes, a flush machine is the best way to get it done. However, if the truck is new to you, dropping the pan, replacing the filter, puting the pan back on, filling it back up with 1-2 gallons of fluid first should be done. Then flush. Just a flush by itself can then be done 20K-50K miles later...

Amazon.com has them as well.

The IP return check valve is on top of the pump. It is a brass fitting with a black hose attached to it. A red squeeze clamp holds the hose on. Just use pliers to pull off the clamp, remove hose, use a 9/16" socket to pull off the fitting. Then look inside the fitting and see if you can see...

That is funny about the drive thru. I don't even try to order with it running anymore. That is probably why most of us have had starter troubles at banks and fast food places.

If you don't have a way to jack up the frame, then jack up the drivers tires and put a block under the tire or jack stand under the axle. That should give you enough droop on the passenger side to get it out.

The only place to put a Zerk fitting is where it would interfere with the tires going on and off. Basically, if you have good inner and outter seals. The grease in the bearings should last a long time.
