    12 volt bus Just to clarify in my own mind. You added a 12 volt bus to the passenger compartment, by running it off the front battery positive (same as rearbattery negative), using an inline fuse near the battery. After going through the firewall, you mounted the bus on the interior side of...

    So the large bus in the photos 24 volt and the smaller is 12 volt. That is very helpful. So, if I use inline fuses, I should be able to power some 12 volt lights and power outlet off the 12 volt with no problem? When I add the inverter, I'll go with the 24Volt and use the larger bus. As...

    Fuel Gauge, dash lights, etc - my new M1009

    I got it from a dealer in Moscow Mills, Missouri (St. Louis area) Fruendly Auto Source, the guys name is Brad Fruend. He has a lot full of M1009 and M1008. Saved me the trouble of having to wait and not knowing exactly what I was getting.

    Fuel Gauge, dash lights, etc - my new M1009

    Just picked up my new M1009 (first one). The Fuel gauge does not work. Is there a normal problem that these have? What should I look for first? Also, there are no dash lights, is that normal? Is it part of the blackouts system? Maybe related to fuel gauge? As I have never owned one of...

    Looking for advise (newbie)

    I am new here. Had a couple bids in on a CUCV M1009 in the Indianapolis auction, had to go to the dentist and missed it by $70! The next auction coming up, that is remotely close, is Ft. Campbell. A quick review noted none of the CUCV 1009's "start" . Not having a trailer, not sure how I...
