Agreed :ditto: :lol: For the OP... I just bought a non-running M1009 for $2500 with a civvy tailgate installed (but included the original military one)... $500 later I've got a drivable M1009 :-)

THIS was what I was hoping for! An explanation of what the heck is going on... the why if you will. I plan on trying the bottle of Power Service at the next opportunity. Thank you Keith! @ cucvrus: I definitely plan on replacing the IP with the new one I have (see posts #4 & 13 above) if a...

Thank you for your response cpf! I think I'll be swapping IP's in a couple months after things settle down here and then rebuild the old IP as a spare. Anyone know if I can remove that spring off the idle adjustment screw if I need to?

I've run BFG T/A All Terrains on my C10 and loved them, including the approximately 100k miles I got out of em. :-)

Pleasure Don, I'm Brian. Things are a little crazy here at the moment, but in a few weeks should settle down. Looking forward to meeting :-)

OK, the good news is, I adjusted the idle screw in and got it to stay running. The bad news is, the screw is now bottomed out against the spring. If I have to can I temporarily (and I do mean temporarily and not semipermanently) remove that spring to get more travel? I also noticed some wet...

Thank you baldy :-) Hi is it Don? I've seen your posts here and saw you were in Martinez, just over the bridge! We'll have to meet up soon and talk 09's :-) I've done the mod-it-all-to-**** thing and my plans are to keep this baby pretty stock. I'm looking for reliability not performance...

Got it off a guy on eBay... The one that used to advertise $400 running takeout motors (for all I know he still does, all those repower 6.2's the military put on the market). He was having employee issues when I ordered my rebuild and it took something like 3 months to get the motor. I was...

Thank you all for the responses! I got sucked into indoor chores by the wifey last night and just got home tonight so I'll probably be working on this on Sunday. First thing will be to turn up the idle screw and then troubleshoot the fast idle circuit. I'll be sure to post back with updates...

It IS dropping into the 40's at night... of course, that's probably shorts and t-shirt weather for you poor folks in Michigan ;-)

doghead, I am NOT sure... I will check on that tonight when I get home from work. The fast idle system is currently non-functional as well. I was planning on troubleshooting that on Sunday when I can work in the daylight (I'm working on this in my driveway as the CUCV wouldn't fit in my 1940...

So I'm trying to get my M1009 running reliably after it sat for 7 or so years... I've finally gotten the motor running but if I let off the throttle too fast the motor shuts off like I turned the key. When I let the throttle off gradually it won't die, just keeps on running. I even took it...

It RUNS!!! I did the doghead mod, replaced the 2 glow plugs that'd come out, plugged in the block heater for a couple hours, replaced all the glow plug connectors... And after some plug cycling and some cranking (5 or 6 cycles) she fired up :D Alt 1 light went out immediately and Alt 2 went...

Thanks skinny, I'll try that if I CAN get it running :)

So I'm waiting for my batteries to recharge and took advantage to do some electrical work: I found the original starter relay abandoned in place and a new one dangling from the harness. Doghead mod forthcoming... I already knew the glow plug card had been bypassed but I found it today...

Roger that, thank you so much!

Thank you sir! When replacing the fuel filter I prefilled it and with the IP wire off got a nice stream of fuel out of the bleed. Truck hasn't run in at least 7 years and the lines appear dry so attempting to bleed them. I was going to confirm the GP system was working but out of the 3...

Many thanks to all! @paraclete: a plentiful supply of liquid bread is always on hand :beer: So trying to get the 09 running after xmas... changed the oil (nice black color, no signs of water or debris); drained 15 gals of old diesel out of the tank (no signs of water or debris), added 5 gals...

I was working on that as you posted... Should be fixed now

Hello to the board! I've been lurking here for a couple weeks after I found an M1009 for sale locally. Well, the tow truck dropped it off today and I'm excited to get things started! Truck didn't run for 7 years but ran when parked... Fluid changes, new batts and such to get her running...
