My GEN1 light comes on at every stop light then immediately goes back out when you accelerate.

I lost the driver's side alternator belt and need a new one. Anyone have a number or specific belt so I don't have to play the guessing game with the brain-dead kid at the auto parts store?

Well, I'm very happy to report that it looks like the front and rear main seals are leaking too. Are 6.2s designed to leak oil from everywhere?? I really hate big, oily messes.

I would assume this is a common problem. What is the best way to go about fixing it? New lines or something easier? Got a new oil pan on. One leak at a time and before too long all the oil will be in the engine! :D

I need good voltmeters if you have any.

Anyone tried running anything in their 1009s besides regular diesel? I may have to figure out something or stop driving. This is getting crazy.

I'm thinking I need a soft top. Any preferred manufacturers or pics? I have no idea which one is better than another and am having difficulty even finding one. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: RE: I need a CUCV key and ignition Cyl. Good idea if I actually had a CUCV key to work with.

Anyone have an extra they would be willing to part with?

I fixed it. I gave the fuse box a good whack and everything came on. Looks like I'll be disassembling the fuse block and getting busy with contact cleaner here pretty soon. Thanks guys.

I am starting to hate my truck. All of a sudden, I have no lights. Headlights work, but no taillights. Turn signals and flashers work, but no running lights. Fuses all check out fine. No interior or dash lights. Any suggestions??

Is the relay the same on the M1009 as the Civi diesel models? Someone changed my truck over to a manual glow plug switch using a Ford solenoid in place of the stock relay. I would like to change it back to a factory setup and need to know which relay to use. thanks

Well, I figured out my battery problem. :D Can alternators be bought at the auto parts store or are the special like everything else seems to be? If so, what exactly do you ask for? Clerks at O'rielly's are easy to confuse. Water pump started leaking today also. I am hating my truck right now.

For some unknown reason the rear battery on my 1009 is losing juice about once a month. It gets down to around 11 volts and the truck won't start. Overnight on the charger and it is good to go for another several weeks. I am using to regular civi type batteries and the rear is the only one going...

Re: RE: Batteries for 1009 Forgive me, I'm new. :D How does one go about doing this? I would like to use the hold downs. The bungy cords presently being used do not look very professional.
