    LED Light Idiot Check

    I am gathering parts and pieces to convert all my M1009 lighting to LED. Just to make sure, and from what I remember reading, the only lights that should n't be converted to LED are the GEN 1 indicator lamp in the dash and the front side makers. Is that correct? I did purchase the proper...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    LOL!! 59 minutes later? That isn't even enough time to cook and eat breakfast...........for most of us!

    M1009 suddenly only crawls, eventually tops out at 35 MPH.

    My other 09 did the same thing. Turned out to be the injector pump.

    Electrical issues after jump start.

    Like Rick said, load testing is the key, as I found out the other day when my tractor wouldn't start. Voltage read 13v, but as soon as I turned the key, nothing would happen. Charged it for an hour, checked all the fuses and wiring, the relay and the key switch itself, which was good. After...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Hey Rick, where did you order the rear glass from? That back window of mine is fairly beat up and I wouldn't mind replacing it.

    M1009 LED Problems

    I am confused myself. I didn't know there was both AC and DC in my M1009. Not trying to be funny, just trying to understand this explanation, as I want to convert my bulbs to LED too.

    I like your front bumper. Any details?

    MP Push Bumper & bolt together Brush Guard Kit.

    How about a bolt up CUCV bumper (upper guard AND the bumper itself), but with two big differences. First, incorporate a way to properly mount a semi-hidden winch. Second, reinforce the entire bumper, make it really strong and heavy duty. Also, I have seen a few CUCV trucks with two steel "U"...

    Used Spray Foam Insulation?

    Had an M1009 I bought from a guy who did use that expanding spray foam on the truck when he "restored" it. Rusted pretty bad, especially in the areas that had the foam sprayed in. What a nightmare. And like Rick said, get your truck down to the Line X dealer and have it done professionally...

    Cold Weather and CUCV's

    I do minimize driving on the New England roads in the winter in an attempt to prevent/slow/minimize rust forming. That said, I spray the underside of my 1009 every other year with Fluid Film. Seems to work great.

    Pn for headlight switch CUCV

    They are readily available at the auto parts stores. It is just a standard headlight switch for the year cilivain version of the truck you own. I just replaced mine, worked like a charm.

    Bumper mount tire carrier?

    That system looks nice, but will it clear the lift/shackle points on our CUCV's?

    Spectra 31 gallon tank install with part #'s

    Just making sure I understand correctly, but this is for an M1009, correct?

    Best method to remove the Steering Knuckle Arm from the Knuckle?

    Ball Joint Tool and Pickle Fork, both available to rent (for free) at AutoZone. They are time and damage saveing tools.

    M1009 value question.

    Rick, she is still lookin good, real good !

    M1009 value question.

    Looks like a very clean truck. Like Tinstar mentioned, I wouldn't be taking it on the road right now. All that salt dust will kill that machine. Work on her during the colder months and, after 3 hard rains the roads should be clean enough to drive on (just my bench mark). I use Fluid Film in...
