I just love my CUCV Blazer when it decides to grant me another problem. This time it came up with three problems at the same time. 1st problem: Small coolant leak about three inches above the bottom of the radiator left side. Went and got some radiator sealer. Was going to take off the...

I was thinking exactly what you wrote. I was thinking what difference would it make if I replaced the volt meter with a 24V gauge used in all the M series vehicles. I was told by a couple CUCV owners that "oh no, you need to replace the volt meter with the same type". The voltmeter in the...

Hi Warthog. I'm going to tackle the voltmeter this week. You mentioned a 24v fuse....where? on the fuse box? Secondly I tried to find the 300 ohm resister for the voltmeter but no one has one (to include Radio Shack).

Thank you to everyone who gave me the heads up on my horn problem. The horn was dead. Installed new horn on the left had inner fender just in front of the windshield washer fluid container. Ran the wiring from behind the grille thru the body opening just below the headlight. Put in a "high"...

Thank you for your insight and advise. Anything electrical, I usually do disconnect the batteries. The relay closest to the starter relay is the one I replaced. According to the under dash diagram, this is the Voltmeter relay. But you did give me some insight and I will replace the other...

Thank you again for all the information. I have just one more question, nothing to do with the horn. The voltmeter on the dash stopped working after I had to replace the right hand alternator because it stopped charging. So, when I had to replace the starter relay, I also replaced the...

Thank you for your reply. Much appreciated. I shall replace the horn but remount it under the hood somewhere along the inner fender and run wire from the connection behind the grille to the horn. I really don't want to create a disaster trying to remove the dead horn. A standard 12V horn...

While on active duty, I had the opportunity to drive the cucv's and never experienced any of the problems I have had with my cucv. I was an MP at Tompkins Barracks Heidelberg, Germany. The M1009 was our main patrol vehicle. Our Blazers accumulated a lot of miles on them and none of them...

Thank you for the reply. I used a test light on the wiring that connects to the capacitor and continues from the capacitor to the horn. Power going into capacitor but no power coming out of capacitor. I also ran a jumper wire from the battery closest to the firewall to the horn. I figure...

The horn on my 1985 M1009 decided to stop working a few days ago. When I press on the horn button all I hear is a clicking sound from under the dash. I checked the fuse and it's good. Did the horn relay switch go bad? I also noticed a capacitor in the wiring just before the connection to...

I'm having a hard time finding a left hand side brake drum with hub assembly and brake shoe assembly/flange with spindle. I have a M416 trailer that I started to restore but ran into the problem of a rusted solid hub. Tried everything to get it tore down so I can replace the bearings. Now I...

I'm still interested in the M416 parts....What I really need the most is the full left hand side (drivers side) Brake drum with hub assembly and the Brake shoe/flange with spindle assembly. This would be much easier to send by UPS/FEDEX than the complete axle assembly. Please quote me a price...

I'm still looking for the left hand side drum and hub assembly and the brake shoe assembly with spindle for my M416 trailer. T/O would be great. New too! I cannot find anywhere so far.

Thank you for the reply. I appreciate the offer of the axle. I was hoping someone closer to me would have one for sale. Whereabouts is Colchester, VT? I looked at my Rand McNally map book but could not find your city. It would be a bit of a drive from Niagara Falls, NY. What are you asking...

I tried s slide hammer, got a fairly good grab on the studs but still no nudge at all. I got a really good llook at race and the spindle with a magnifier. They are so fused together that it looks like one piece. I was gonna undo the four nuts behind the brake backing plate and give it a...

I purchased a 1967 M416 trailer which needs a lot of restoring. I started to pill out the old wheel bearings and the left side was easy to come apart and the bearings are junk. The right side is a different story. The wheel bearing race is froze solid to the axle spindle like it is one piece...

I don't know what happened but I did a search on the M416 trailer bearing problems and posted my question and this is the site it went to. I'll try again.

M416 trailer

I have a major problem getting the bearings off the spindle left hand side brake drum. I had no problem pulling the bearings and break drum on the right side. Seems the first bearing race is frozen to the spindle which is not a good thing as I cannot break it loose even though I've sprayed...

I went to CARQUEST as you suggested and bought the 12 gage fusible link. Same length and price. They were out of the 12 gage heat shrink connectors so I will go back tomorrow when they get their delivery. Funny that they have all the other gage wiring ready made up but can only get 12 gage in...
