Easter Find loves chirping tires when I pull out of my driveway. It must be the combination of my heavy foot, the shift kit in the rebuilt tranny, and the locker in the rear.

Welcome to the madness from upstate NY. What part of the state you from?

Go back to those junk yards and start looking in the back of Ford vans- "late 80s and up". Those jacks are almost identical to the original M1009 jacks. They will fit in their intended space by the back spare tire with little modification. Try to look for commercially used Ford vans; good chance...

MX-6707 base with a AS-1729 whip was what was commom for the CUCVs

Looks like you have that social distancing down to a tee.

It's designed with a drain hole/holes in the bottom. There is a spring loaded drain plug that fits in it and I have seen nos replacement plugs sold in the past. Try www.midwestmilitary.com . They have parts for the M100s

Did you buy the Blazer?

Any progress with your issue?

Where do you find all your entertainment Rick? Is there a WALL-E's part 2? It's never dull at your shop is it.

I start mine this way; When starting a cold engine you turn the key to on, depress the fuel pedal fully then release to about half pedal. Wait for the glow plug light and then start it. If the high idle solenoid is working properly and the engine temp sensor is functioning, it will be set to...

You most likely have a bad cold advance solenoid. Unplug it and see if you still have revving issues. I had the same issue with mine and I replaced the solenoid and never looked back.

Howard, Thank you for that and especially thank your wife for me. Her devotion/dedication in these trying times is above and beyond. Stay safe stay healthy.

Nice project, great looking ride. Your going to have fun restoring it as you see fit. Just take your time, run it for a while, throw it in a local parade and fix it as needed. Most of all enjoy your ride.

Have you seen and hear it run?

Nice looking rig. You would think that the seller would have fixed what's wrong with it if he really wanted to sell it. I would be leary about the purchase and the seller at this point. Offer a grand less than asking price. That should give you some wiggle room to get it properly repaired. If...

They sell them every day zeb. If I wasn't retired I would loan you one. The light bulbs are 24 volt but they will still shine with 12 volt. Bring 4 chain links for the added length needed for the safety chains. When you heading out?

The added water must be the "Plus" in the API CI-4 Plus

Is your cold advance solenoid working properly. Mine had the "mind of its own" revving symptoms when "cold started" . Turned out to be a finicky solenoid.

You mean a M715?

Most likely you have a cracked injection line or two at the flare nut end from over manipulating, over tightening, or from good old vibration. They are known for cracking at the nut. I replaced all of mine on the 1009 when I got it several years ago. I had 4 cracked ones when I pulled it apart...
