    Need cucv water in fuel sensor from filter base

    I understand no pressure sensor is required on the new bases but my sensor and base is not leaking so NO replacement base is needed. I just put around $300 into the thing in the last two weeks, I had to put another $100 into another vehicle and still need to get $240 worth of body parts for my...

    Installed VIC-1 in my Deuce.

    There was a vic-1 setup on ebay. Do a search and you should find it. I also think Tbanks had a setup for sale. You might try sending him a PM. He is a member of the board. I love mine and need to work on getting the ipod integrated.

    M1009 starting problems

    You are lucky you check when you did. If you have the stock setup then the other plugs were getting more than the 12-14 volts they should. You will find that the others would have started going bad very fast because each one that goes adds voltage to the ones that are left. I agree, you should...

    old style emergency brake handle

    The old handle has a different cable from the new ones with the adjustment on the handle. The old ones for the old handle have a grease fitting in the middle so they are pretty easy to spot. I am not sure what a micro lock cable is so I can't help you there.

    M1009 starting problems

    Check the glow plug system again. It really sounds like they are not working. It might also be an air leak in the fuel system. The biggest problem with ether on these engines is the glow plugs. The ether and the hot glow plugs equals major engine problems. If you were trying to did not try the...

    Need cucv water in fuel sensor from filter base

    A member should be sending one as I speak. Thanks for the offers. I knew about the base for $54.99 but since the major problem on these is the pressure sensor I figured someone might have a water in fuel light sensor from a leaking block. Mine was not bad and is not leaking so I only need to...

    Desert storm color?

    All of our trucks stayed woodland for the whole thing. We only had one day notice then we were gone. I think pretty much most of the 18th Airborne Corp was in the same boat. We did get desert uniforms and desert camo nets but the only paint that went on the truck was the inverted V just before...

    Spare parts for the CUCV?

    More on the alternators. Almost all alternators have a ground that is connected to the case. The case grounds the unit. In the isolated ground units on the cucv the ground does not go to the case. It only goes to the terminal on the back. In effect the ground is isolated from the case. The...

    Need cucv water in fuel sensor from filter base

    Thanks. FAL shooter. I have not heard anything back yet. I was lucky and even though the tip was broken off it still sealed and did not leak. My son was happy but I still do want to replace it. I do not know if the water in fuel light will work at this point without a new sensor. If you got one...

    glow plugs suck

    I would watch manual operation of any glow plug system. Any glow plugs will swell if abused enough.

    Spare parts for the CUCV?

    I am pretty sure the CDR valve is the same as a civy 6.2 diesel. For the rest there is a parts cross reference available. As for the military unique stuff that would stop it, all have to do with the glow plug and starting systems. The starter is 24 volt and there is an extra relay under the dash...

    glow plugs suck

    The 070 plugs are 12 volt glow plugs also. The AC Delco original number is 13G while a lot of people put in 60G AC plugs when they upgrade. The terminals a different so you have to change them for the 60G plugs. The military went to the Wellman 070 plugs later. Two of my cucvs had 13Gs while one...

    Blinker problem

    I vote ground issue. Check the ground at the light in question first then keep checking all the other grounds for the turn signal system.

    HMMWV body question?

    The original M151s came with magnesium rims for weight savings but they changed to steel when they figured out just how easy they burned.

    Nice artiicle on M35A2 "Deuce"

    There are a lot of US type vehicles in use by South Korea. They make a copy of the M715 truck also.
