Thanks Warthog for confirming what I thought. I am a big fan of sharing any part numbers we can with everyone.
Is there a replacement plug for the original or do you have to go to the new style? I want to change the plug too on mine. The old one looks a little frayed. I will go to the new style...
To revise an old subject.
Someone above stated that NAPA has the original one. I'm in the process of replacing my car and temp. sensor. I found these on NAPA. I believe they are the correct original replacement. So here are the part numbers. There are two different brands. If I have the wrong...
When I was looking at at M1009s to buy I ran across one where some one had done something similar to Bronx Boy. They had removed the crank handle, presumably due to it breaking, and put a nut on it where the handle went. A socket wrench was then used to roll the rear window up and down...
Thanks that is some good information that I know I appreciate and bet others do too.
I will probably check it out over the weekend. Good news though, this morning pushed in my new little button for around 10 seconds and fire first time. :-D While it is not the original set up it is working...
I got a push button and installed it. One wire from push button switch to post with small light blue wire on the solenoid on the fire wall. One wire from the push button switch to a bolt under the dash on the fire wall to provide a ground when I push in on the button.
Bam, it fired right up...
Ok. Thanks Warthog,
Ok, I checked it.
Cut key on, 12.3v on red with (top of solenoid), 11.3 small pink wire.
Hooked meter to green wire going to glow plug, then touched jumper wire to light blue wire / post on solenoid and grounded it. The solenoid clicked and the green wire read around 12v...
Got ready to run some errands this morning and bam no start. I have noticed recently that it was getting harder to start. Today it is about 70 degrees and rainy. Not cold by any means.
Symptoms:
Wait light works, on approx 6 seconds
Turns over
white smoke
Checked:
Power at light blue wire at...
If you still have the tabs for the clutch you could possibly fix the broken clutch and reenforce the way I did mine. Mine was not broken but it would work the same way.
I bought one of the LMC clutches it lasted 9 days before the tabs broke off. I reenforced the to older one I had and...
FMJ,
I have not decided what I'm going to do with the old one yet. I don't believe that there is anything wrong with it now so I might hang onto it or sale it if I find someone that needs it down the road. I also have another spare that my dad picked up around 12 years ago. But I want to...
Original symptoms:
I noticed that the engine was running higher rpms than normal to keep up speed. The faster you went the harder the engine worked. ie extremely high rpm. the engine was screaming. Fist gear was a lot closer to normal acting. (I now know that it was not shifting. At the time it...
Yes I read on here quite a bit before posting this thread. I also got the same reply on here that the tranny was slipping. So I bite the bullet and got the new tranny. I should of took smaller steps up front and changed the vacuum lines and checked the vacuum pressures first. This is my daily...
Ok so here is how it all worked out.
As stated before my mechanic test drove it and said it is slipping, it needs to be rebuilt. Find $1800 and we will get it done. I posted on here and talked to a few others and everyone seemed to agree. Dang this sucks. I never have spare money lying...
1984 M1009 stock
Hey guys and gals,
So I have been on here reading for a while and decided to run this by you for a second opinion.
I noticed a few weeks ago that when I would start up and start to pull off sometimes it would take a second for the tranny to catch up with the throttle, so to...
Thank for the kind words. I went back and reread your Stick on the Headlight Circuit and my mysterious red wire is clearly shown in the diagrams. It runs into the fuse box exactly where I thought it should go. So even though the fix that the previous owners or military did seem out of place it...
