The majority of my issues were caused by my rodent friends chewing around the fuse box. If you suspect rodents it wouldn't hurt to check around there. Apparently that big clump of wires is appetizing to mice.

I have had my m1009 for about half a year now and I have been slowly working on it trying to get it in condition to pass inspection (last inspected in 2008 ). This truck had been working on our ranch for about 4 years and has always been a good dependable truck but, it has always had a large...

A resistor bypass would also be a good (free) modification. Very nice truck!

It draws from the bottom of the tank. Have fun post pictures:mrgreen:

Warthog, I like your idea on pressurizing the tank could you expound on how you go about doing it? soule64, You wouldn't happen to have the part number on that vacuum pump would you? I like having a mechanical fuel pump but it just makes me cringe having to ride my starter to prime the fuel...

I know this sounds stupid and more than likely you did it right but, when you bled the air from the fuel filter you did it from the top of the filter right? When I first got my m1009 I kept draining the bottom of the filter wondering why the truck wouldn't start. :roll:

They are selling them for $129.xx and they are surplus OEM units. They are a little spendy but my old one lasted 25 years so I think its worth it.

Needing to order a fuel sending unit for a M1009 (stock 27 gallon tank). Auto zone and napa have three options to choose from along with every online store. Can anyone provide a link to order the exact unit I need?

If the glass isnt broken I think it adds character :)

x2 Don't bother picking up another diff cover. If the plug doesnt come off just fill it up through the vent. It is alittle time consuming but it gets the job done.

Under the CUCV FAQ Article at the top the previous page you will find the technical manual that everyone uses for repairs.
