Mine read acurate for a month last fall. Then one fill up when I was down to 1/4 tank (23 gallons added). It only went ot half tank. It worked on the reduced range scale for a few months. I hit a nasty unseen speed bump and it went to 3/4 with a full tank and read accurate for a few months...

Boxcar says he is bound and determined to make it as well. However, he still hasn't found and installed a new tie rod end which is what kept him away from the spring gathering. Sermis is changing job duties and won't know until closer if he can make it. Kwai is also unsure of his schedule...

The -20 manual has about a page devoted to fuel gauge repair and diagnosis. Basically, unplug the lead at the tank. Turn on the key and see what happens. Ground the lead, turn on the key and see what happens. Open should be way past full while grounded should be below empty. If yours does...

The cost is for the park and split among all that show up. The more people, the less we each have to pay. That park is in Bryan Texas just a mile or so north of College Station. Hours & Locations

The tunnel is part of I-70. You actually have to look for the road to the pass and exit the interstate. Here is a link about it: http://www.coloradodot.info/travel/eisenhower-tunnel/description.html I am looking at taking my M1009 to just West of the tunnel this winter. Those of you that live...

When or if you buy one. Plan on replacing all brake moving parts, brake hoses, belts, hoses, batteries, light bulbs, tires, oils, filters, starter, u-joints and at least rebuilding one alternator. Call it $1000. This is because the truck will be at least 25 years old and things rot/wear out over...

A good way to check the shocks is to take the temperature of the body after driving it for a while. Then compare the shock temp to something non moving near it. Same temp and the shocks are not doing anything. Big temp difference and the shocks are working great. They make heat when they...

Not with a locker in the rear. Or at least, not with a locker that is still there and working.

Yep, that ground on the passenger side frame goes to the front light harness. Your blinkers work at night?

Or a power tank. Which is what I am thinking about a lot lately: POWERTANK - CO2 Air Systems I added a York to my M715. M35 tanks under the bed and plumbed fittings to both bumpers. Works great! However, now that I drive the M1009 more. It is a lot of time, effort and money just sitting...

You need to do something called a "dry park check." Have somebody get in the truck with the engine off and the steering wheel unlocked. They need to turn the wheel back and forth about 45-60° over and over and over again. You need to be on the ground under the front end. Put your hand on...

The -20 manual has a page or so dedicated to fuel gauge diagnosis. If it is going to the full side, then either the tank ground is bad, the wire to the tank is bad or the sendor is bad. Follow the procedures in the manual to narrow it down some more.

Colton broke his arm doing hurdles a year ago. Hope yours heals ok.

We were there for 18 hours. Heck, we even had our cots set up in Mike's parking area before you got there. Seriously, I would love to attend again. Colton is starting school football tomorrow with 7th grade. That means every week day between now and November is spoken for. The heat makes...

It mounts to the same plate the STE/ICE plug hangs from.

So that is why you were wondering if I was coming to the Rally. I get it. I thought you guys wanted my company. Did he chase down that single axle trailer pulling a barn door Suburban to get it you think?

All the CUCV trucks came with the same gears inside the tcase for the speedometer. Because the 1009 is the odd ball, a gear reduction box was put between the tcase and the speedometer cable. That box however was used to speed up the speedometer cable, not slow it down. Yours is the wrong way...

Read the sticky threads at the top of the CUCV forum, download the manuals, print them if you can and learn to spend all your spare time looking at the huge troubleshooting section of the -20 manual. The wiring really IS simple. Once you get your head around it.

You are able to rotate the input yoke on the rear axle more than 180° with the truck in neutral and the parking brake on, correct? I just tried that on a CUCV 14 bolt across my class. Maybe 30° of free play. I think you need rear differential work.

That is just faded and peeling 4 color camo with red oxid primer underneath. My M35A2 still has its original 4 color paint on it. 3 color camo replaced it by 1982 or so and now they are mostly tan. You have a trailer made and painted during the transition from solid green to the woodland camo...
