Has anyone installed the OD Iron A/C unit in a 1009 they were driving? I saw the thread of the total rebuild with the A/C install but wondered if anyone had done it in their driver? The reason being, I'm having a heck of a time getting the evaporator unit to fit behind the dash. It doesn't...
Well not really. It was actually already in my driveway. I want to thank Warthog for parting with this. I went back and forth a number of times before deciding to get it.
Here's some pics. You can see in the original photos that the right fender had a bit of a mishap. Tree, another deuce...
The Gen 1 and Oil Pressure gauges stay lit on my 1009 when the engine is off and when the Service Drive switch is off. Both of them go out as normal when you start the vehicle but come on and stay on when everything else is off.
Any ideas?

So I have to go to Little Rock to pick up a M101A1 that I recently purchased. I figured get a copilot, take Monday to liesurly drive over from San Antonio, spend the night, pick up the trailer, and home before NCIS comes on Tuesday night. No...
I'm heading to Little Rock from San Antonio and back Mon/Tue if anyone needs a pick-up or delivery. Only room in a 1009 on the way over but will be pulling a M101 on the way back.
Anyone use the BG line of products in their vehicles? I was thinking of adding it to my 1009, both the engine and transmission (with a small amount added to the transfer case). You hear a lot of hype about these additives but I haven't talked with anyone that's tried them.
I just tried to get a SF97 for my M116A2 Genset trailer and the GL site said there was nothing in the sale that required a SF97. Any TX folks license their trailers without one?
Other than the tie-down loops and the surge brakes what are the major differences between the M101A1 and the M116A3 trailers? I'm getting conflicting information regarding tonnage and side panels. Since the M116 is supposed to be a flatbed are these side panels removable?
The first photo is...
What is this specifically? My guess it's some type of reduction gear to adjust for different tire size. My 1009 lost the one it had when it was relocated with a forklift. How much will not having one throw the speedometer off?
This is the first time I've been high bidder on more than one item requiring an EUC in the same Event.
Since both items came through on the same invoice do I need 1 EUC or 2?
I've looking through past threads and the TMs and can't seem to find reference to my problem. My transmission will not shift PERIOD. I checked all the vacuum items and only found 1 that I had to replace but still no shift.
I just got this 1009 and had to replace the transfer case after...
I have to give a huge thank you to Warthog . He went above, beyond and then about another 10 miles in helping me with the recovery of my latest M1009. Not only did he pick it up from GL but he spent countless hours getting it running and swapping out some steering components that either GL or...
Thumbing through the auctions today and came across something interesting. A govt owned K5 (not a CUCV) Blazer that proudly boasts 5k miles and 230 hours. That got me curious as I had never known a Blazer CUCV or not, even with a diesal, to have an hour meter. Turns out I was correct as what...
Anyone know anything about these heaters? I picked up 3 of them - one for my shop, one for spare parts, and I guess one spare parts spare.
Most of the ducting is trash but I think I can piece one whole set together from all three.
Okay, I have to say my road trip recovery events are not near as exciting or nary as hairy as Sarge or Green_Gator but are fun never the less.
Sunday a friend and I set out for Ft Bliss to pick up my new MEP003A Genset. We were driving the M1009 that I had just gotten a week ago and this was...
Did anybody preview the CUCVs in OKC that ended today? I wound up with a M1009 and was curious if they were decent or not. Here's a picture of what I won.
