New switch arrived and is installed (Gotta love Amazon 1 day shipping). Lights work perfect now.

Ok… turns out it was the dimmer switch on the steering column just like @Barrman indicated. I pulled the connector to the switch and jumpered it, badabing badaboom the lights worked. I have a new switch on order off Amazon. Thanks to everyone who replied and helped me nail this one down!

Thanks for the reply, I will give that a look In the morning. I’m not exactly sure what the dimmer switch looks like, but once I get in there, I probably will notice it.

They have never worked since I’ve owned the truck. Testing the headlight connection I used the ground on the plug. But now that I think about it, I should have used another ground. You have me thinking it’s a ground issue near the headlight itself. I will do another test tomorrow and see if...

Introduction: I own 2 CUCVs, a 87 1028 and a 86 1009. My 1009 has all lights functioning except the headlights. I have verified/done the following: 1.) No power at the headlights. Verified with multimeter. 2.) I have power at the 30 amp headlight fuse under dash. Verified with multimeter...

They guys at Alfa Heaven are not too pleasant to deal with. They simply will not divulge where/how they get their wheels. My search on the net for Kelsey Hayes does turn up one company in Michigan that is a subsidiary of TRW, but it doesn't look like they have a retail outlet.

I was looking at Alfa Heaven's trucks for sale and noticed that they are advertising that they are using "new Kelsey Hayes rims". Does anybody know where these can be purchased? What do you think the width of the rim is? The Goodyear MTs want a 8.25" rim. I really like the original style of...

Just search for "14028949" in eBay.

That is just WRONG!

Gorgeous looking M1009... I remember seeing this one for sale in FL if I remember correctly. I really think the sliding side windows make these CUCVs look good. Congrats!

Just buy galvanized carriage bolts from your local Home Depot/Lowes/hardware store of choice.

Yes... 4.5" offset on flat centers.

I am considering changing my solid 383 Green paint job to the 3 color camo. My truck originally had the newer 3 color pattern and appeared original. My truck had solid green on the bumpers and grill. I have seen many trucks with the bumpers camo'ed and the pattern template that I have shows...

Sharecropper, My first attempt at balancing was with 8oz of CounterAct in each wheel/tire combo, but that was obviously not enough. So I switch to the Centramatic balancers instead of wasting more money on the expensive beads. My tires have quite a bit of lateral run-out, so I still bounce...

12 bolt TWF recentered using the Flat center with 4.5" back spacing. 5" front/4" rear lift. No rubbing on road... have not had it off-road.... yet.

Here is one of the pictures from the ad.

:not worthy: I came across this ad today when I was searching Craigslist for CUCV goodies. The following is a cut and paste from that ad. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I really should start out by telling ya, if yer lookin' fir a "Gas pump friendly"...

Glow plugs are 12v from the factory... and they are still 12v. CUCVs never came with 24v glow plugs. The resister took the 24v input and stepped the voltage down to 12v (assuming all GPs are working). When you do the resister bypass, you wire the GP solenoid to a 12v source.
