    cucv vac issues brake and trans issues

    If you have an air compressor you can blow air through it and check for leaks that way with the engine off. With the truck running were you getting any vacuum down at the metal lines outlet where that little hose goes to the trans modulator? Another question is when you move the trans...

    cucv vac issues brake and trans issues

    I had a problem very similar to yours recently. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/45198-hard-shifting-still-after-repairs.html To sum it up though my problem was the rubber line that goes from the metal line leading to the trans modulator underneath the truck. I had at first looked at and...

    Seat covers for M1009

    Ha you like that huh!? It's the cheap kind buddy. But it fits the truck. It's a 30 mm ammo can that I modified to fit. The hardest part was building the base and to be honest I need to re-do it. For the cushion I just got some OD green extra canvas from New Life Canvas and some particle...

    Smoking Ground Cable

    Oh just to clarify there are only two wires that hook up to the front clip where that little wire burnt up right? The cable coming off the battery and the wire that comes up from the headlight area? I'm not sure what either serve a purpose for.

    Smoking Ground Cable

    Neither actually. It was the cable that goes from the board to the engine manifold. Whichever one that is. :lol: I also noticed my glow plugs don't seem to be cycling now. I may have fried something.

    Smoking Ground Cable

    Ok I is an idiot and figured it out. I had the cable that goes from the engine ground over to the wire terminals DISCONNECTED. I was so embarrassed when I discovered it that I almost didn't want to say anything and just let the thread fade away but I'm hoping someone down the line might read...

    Pics of my redone M1009 before and after

    Down in South Louisiana they have an exhaust flange welded onto the edge of the exhaust pipe(s) where they come out on the rear side panel. When they know it's going to rain and high water is coming they have an exhaust pipe that runs up the side with a heat shield, much like the HMMWV ones...

    Seat covers for M1009

    Here is mine. The seat upholstery is from New Life Canvas and the seat covers are the Smittybilt GEAR Seat Covers. The only complaint I have on the GEAR covers is that the velcro straps are a little too long and will need to be shortened a little. Also you can see that the bottom where the...

    Seat covers for M1009

    The seat covers from New Life Canvas are good. Make sure you ask seat covers and not the replacement covers. Also the Smittybilt GEAR seat covers work well. I bought the New Life complete re-upholstery kits but found out you smell like a canvas tent afterwords. So I bought the Smittybilt...

    CUCV Hand Throttle

    We had a guy in the Army use a M998's hand throttle for a cruise control one time driving down the highway. He had to stop fast and couldn't do so in a short enough space since he couldn't deactivate the hand throttle while hitting the brakes fast enough. The accident he had wasn't his fault...

    Smoking Ground Cable

    Neither were grounded. They are both just hanging right now where the rear bumper used to be.

    Smoking Ground Cable

    Thanks!!! Looking at these diagrams it looks like everything is hooked up right then. I guess I could have a bad ground strap even if it's connected!

    Smoking Ground Cable

    Wow nobody knows how these hook up??

    Smoking Ground Cable

    Well I checked all the connections and everything looked good. HOWever.... When I first started installing my AC kit I thought I needed to remove my wiring terminals right there behind the rear battery. I marked the top one but I think I may have mixed up the cables on the bottom one. I...

    M1008 video ad with "Adult Tease" music...wtf

    Funny you say that. Mine came from Camp Blanding and there isn't a trace of rust anywhere on her. Guess I got lucky :D.
