I have always wanted a rear winch on this HMMWV because I use it as a work vehicle around the farm, hauling branches, trees, etc. and a rear winch cable would be very useful.
I was lucky to pick up a front milemarker winch for very cheap near me. I wanted to be somewhat military correct when I...
I installed this Pioneer Kit in my M1009. Robbed the tools from my HMMWV kit that I don't use any more. Came brand new in the box and was originally designed for a m35. Bolted in and I think it looks stock.
I picked up this M1025A2 from the recent GoDove auction. EUC wait time was 3 months. 2 of those months, the agent that signs the EUCs was on vacation. This was a special forces GMV that was upgraded. The shocks on this are nitrogen charged remote reservoirs. They're about 2-3x the size of stock...
I'm stuck and don't know what to do. Here's what happened
M1009 Cucv Blazer, still 24v, glow plugs are not bypassed.
-Originally had no alternators when I bought the vehicle, bought two of them off Ebay. Both isolated ground 100ish amp alternators. All new gates belts.
-Driver side worked...
I believe there is a problem with my glow plug system. When starting, it takes around two revolutions of the engine before the engine starts. Is this normal?
I assume it should act like my HMMWVs and start on the first revolution. Then again, my Ram 2500 takes around two revolutions to start...
Before posting, I have read multiple threads on here about others with a similar issue and consulted the TMs.
My Gen 1 dash light will not come on. I have a 1985 M1009
Here is what I have done:
-Cleaned the heater fuse connection and put in a new 20 amp fuse (4x4 light, low oil light, and...
I just purchased two 36,000btu Nordic ECUs to cool and heat my motor pool. By my calculations I only need around 60,000btu so 72,000btu will be more than enough. I am powering it off of my MEP-005A so I will have 3 phase. I know how to wire it but I can not find the TM for it online. Does anyone...
I have a MEP-005A that has a overspeed switch that keeps tripping. The engine is not at high enough RPMs to trip. The TMs do not reference testing an overspeed switch, only the causes that trigger it, which I am having none of. It randomly triggers, but appears to only do it while the engine is...
I just got a 1985 M1009 with a 6.2L. The starter and alternators were taken off prior to sale, so I can not re use the old ones. I have read that the driver side uses a DL7157 alternator and the passenger side uses one that has an isolated ground. But I have read a couple posts that the pulley...
I have a MEP-005A generator that I just took the starter out of because it wouldn't engage and replaced it with a functioning one. Is it worthwhile to have the old one rebuilt? Does it crossfit with anything else? I had a quote of around $150 to rebuild it and I just bought a NOS one for $110...
Just yanked this generator off the trailer today and set it up to power my barn. I originally wanted a 10kw but this one came up nearby to me for 1/3 the price of one so I jumped on it. I've done a whole fluids/filter change to it already. Even after yanking it off and dragging it around it...
When I received my 2 man HMMWV there was a complete 2 level radio shelf hidden under the crumpled troop carrier cover in the back. The radio shelf feet were still installed between the front seats on top of the tunnel.
My goal was to mount this shelf unit so that I could somewhat easily remove...
I purchased from Kascar their rear license plate mount for my second HMMWV and wanted to copy the reverse light wiring for my primary HMMWV, which already has a license plate holder. The Kascar mount is appealing because it uses packard connections, existing bolts, and has a plate and reverse...
Bought a FLU419 SEE for my farm along with a second HMMWV. My father operated and worked on both of these in the US Army so I have some knowledge for repairs. I love it and wish I had purchased one sooner. Hydraulic tools are terrific. They are insured for liability and part of the farm policy...
