Trying to figure out why my Gen 1 idiot light wouldn't work, I removed my instrument cluster figuring the light bulb was deceased. While I had it in my hand, I saw that the plastic ribbon circuit on the back had some issues that needed repair. I tried to follow each copper path, trying to...

I guess that i am too far away for it to be worthwhile

Is this truck to be sold? I too need parts. Please advise

Well... I appreciate all of the advice. I am still working with the insurance adjuster. I obtained three more estimates, all of them over 1K. I scanned these estimates and sent them to the adjuster today. I hope to hear back from him by Wednesday next week. I will keep you posted.

Attached are some pics of the dent. The dent is hard to see because of the CAMO paint.

Thank you for your replies. I did tell the body shop that I will pick up my pick-up tomorrow to get an additional opinion. Thank you for the confidence in finding another bed should I need it. I too thought the dent would be easy to "pop out", but I don't know how to do body work. There is...

Well, once again my M1008 is the victim of foul play. A child driving his mothers car backed into the passenger side of my pick up. He dented the bed, just forward of the rear wheel but behind the cab. Fortunately, the person that hit me had insurance. I assumed this would be an easy...

It is fascinating to watch you do this. I have always wanted to rebuild an engine, but I have never had the opportunity to do so. I have been searching for a 6.2 Diesel locally but I haven't had any bites on my search.

I wish I lived closer as well. I think I would like to try a complete rebuild on something I could use later.

I have often thought about having a "spare" 6.2 engine just in case. Are these plentiful? I admit that I haven't really looked into the issue. Would a spare engine go bad just sitting in my shop for a long time? I wonder if it would be cost effective to get a non-functional engine and...

It is WAY cheaper, but not nearly so cool as playing with the laser. I love that tool...

I use CorelDRAW and my laser to make my gaskets. Often times I will scan the portion of the part that requires the gasket, convert it to a vector graphic and send it to my laser to cut the gasket. Most trophy shops have this ability even if they don't know it. Additionally, I get gasket...

I see that the rear hatch on the HMMWV clears the ECU. It looks like a close or narrow margin. Planned or serendipity?

I have not yet tried to separate the fuse block from the connection block. I am somewhat hesitant to try this. I do have access to a donor car (89 Suburban). I will practice on it before I chance the same procedure with my M1009

I am happy to report that I found the hiccup in my Glow Plug System. The problem was in the 10 amp fuse. Using my meter in continuity mode, I tested the fuse between the test points (see the picture) and it tested "Good". At this point, I assumed the fuse was good. I began looking for the...

The six pin connector is not the diagnostic plug. This little guy hides under the steering wheel up next to the fire wall.

Did you know you can test your glow plugs to see if they work? They are expensive so before you replace them, test them. The CUCV glow plug system is amazing and while not "simple" you should be able to test and repair any problems. If you want to, send me a PM with your number and we can...

Hello All... I have been working on trying to fix the Glow Plug system in my M1009. Thanks to the sticky notes and other information in the helpful threads, I think I was able to isolate what I believe is the primary problem. Coming from the GP Module Housing, I noticed that the wires split...

Hello and welcome to the forum. The folks here have a WEALTH of information. You will have to supply a bit more information to get to the root cause of your starting issues. Is your Glow Plug System working correctly? I have been going bug nuts trying to fix the GP System in my M1009. What...
