    M1009 axle swap from M1008

    If you're thinking of running the hmmv tires and rims I'd assume you've never tried to get a hmmv up over 50 mph....there's a reason they suck goin fast...tires are tough as nails so the ride is horrific...made more than a few scrambled brains in one.

    U-joint replacement PN

    Be careful when getting parts...use the TM and get part numbers and look them up yourself...if they have a quality brand then buy it online with the discount and pick it up at the store.

    M1008 Build

    I got a NOS rebuild kit for my master and Booster a few months ago from a surplus store north of Harrisburg...Both were still in the brown military boxes...I'd rather rebuild mine than deal with parts right now...you're right about getting anything. If you do buy from the chain stores do the...

    Sourcing a complete engine wiring harness '86 M1008

    Buying from John isn't an if it's a when...can't go wrong though...300 for a harness is not bad if you can't fix the one you have! Take notice to the ends of your harness carefully once you get the new one and compare them...since things like glow plugs and temp sensors might not match up plug...

    Speedo Cable Lube

    Up in the speedo head itself I have used dusty graphite puff stuff that doesn't gum up the mechanism inside...it only takes a little bit and it should run smooth for a long time.

    I went out and looked and took a few pics of what's on mine...not sure if that'll help with the ones you have. They look a little different than what's on mine now. The screw pockets look deeper.

    Rats nest wiring, setting 12V back to 24V

    You're in better shape than most if the glow plugs work!! The articles I'm talking about are at the beginning of the forums for the CUCV...it says Tm's n such...they are very long but have every part number and all the info you should need to get it to work right. If you can find someone that...

    Rats nest wiring, setting 12V back to 24V

    well...where most people start is at the TMs in the stickies at the beginning of this forum...it has all the info you need to go over all the wiring plus there's one just on the alternators to get them to work right as well...this stuff is pretty straight forward to get going...it doesn't look...

    CUCV M1009: Is it 3 OR 4 Outlets for Fuel Tank Sending Unit??

    yes it is a 4 hose deal...one is the vent for the fuel filler though so that leaves 3 on top 2 are for fuel and one is to run something external or to pull the fuel out of the tank...it is capped on the side of the frame if it's still stock...don't leave it open though leave it plugged. I have...

    MEP 531A Fix-up Thread

    I didn't look up the procedure on the test but did you have to remove or at least put something in between the brushes before the test to take them out of the equation or do you leave them in contact. That could change the number that big being it's more than double from what it should be. The...
