Can anyone tell me what this is and where I can get a new one? Vacuum modulator?

If you find out, let me know.. they are pretty much NLA ( No Longer Available ) from any source I, and others, have tried. You really don't need it anyway, just connect directly, remembering Top for Transmission.

Cpf240,

That answered my next question. Just got home from the shop... gave me fuel hose instead of vacuum hose. Any difference other than it being less flexible than the vacuum tubing?

I'd guess that fuel hose is thicker, but if it fits, it should work.

Just fixed the #$%@ starter........

Installed new power steering lines. Looked like a walk in the park until I actually got my hands in there. The new lines had a slightly different bend on the hard line part. Nothing that a little tweaking and bending couldn't take care of though.

Tore apart the dash again... checked every bulb. Ive never been so bummed to not find a bad bulb. I fixed the little light above the voltmeter, cleaned voltmeter studs, still have the gen 2 issue.

Found this behind the vacuum pump when I was replacing the vacuum hoses... not sure why its taped up? Anyone know what these two wires go to?

Ended up replacing the vacuum lines with fuel line... not sire of that will cause an issue, they seem quite a bit more robust.

Just retaped those as well, some acc. on these trucks I believe, gas particulate, arctic heater, etc, I may be totally off? Someone will pipe up and confirm, I do know its keyed for off with key off.

i also have a gen 2 issue. i found a blue wire (fuseable) on the firewall burnt. im hoping that might be a problem my gen 2 light does not come on.

That is the diode for the Water-In-Fuel circuit on the fuel fliter. It is taped up so it won't short out.

I installed all new glow plugs, air filter, replaced left headlight bezel, right side headlight bulb and cleaned up all of the ground straps that I found while working. I did coat all connections with Di-electric grease also. I was happy to find out that my fuel gauge now works properly.

Painted the M1009 this morning with Behr house paint. More detail and pics in the "Latex/acrylic house paint" thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showth...c-House-Paints&p=1360740&posted=1#post1360740

Thanks Warthog! I wont mess with it then, that light still works! But I think Im going to run out and get a new alternator plug because mine looks kinda crispy. I just hope that short I had in wiring didnt fry the alternator when i tried to hook up the batteries.

Finally got my electric A/C installed. I have a 2400W 24V inverter but the A/C only takes about 800W for 12K BTU. . Starting surge does max the inverter. Hot air discharge is between the sidewall skins - there are plenty of exits for the air. I'll have to park in the sun to see how we'll it works since it will be cool here the next couple of days.

Crude, but effective.

I just may have to do this.

I have a bunch of 5k-8k BTU portable units that look smaller than yours, for around the $100 mark around here.... add in a 3000W peak inverter for another $100, and I should be in business.
