Hello, I have seen that video. And heard that horn. It sounds like a car horn.. But why would you be laughing?

Marcus, What do you mean switched 12v lead from the relay to the new horn, you mean somewhere between pin 87 and the new horn you install the switch that "honks" the horn, correct? also, the wire coming off pin 86 connects to the power wire that used to feed power to the old horn, correct? Thank...

Hello Marcus, So according to your wiring diagram two 12v power leads go to the new horn it looks like, or does the wire coming off relay pin 86 go to the power connection terminal on the existing horn? Other then that, I think I get it. I will figure it out, or ask you when I am in the process...

Hello Marcus, a little clarification.. If you install this wolo bad boy in your truck, can you indeed hook the two leads that go into the stock truck horn into the bad boy compressor and be done with it, or does the m1009 have a stock relay that you would hook the bad boy into somehow?

Just curious, where did you get those straps hanging on your front and back ends? And they are called tow straps, correct?

Hello Nate, I have the same problem with my '09, it sounds weak, even though it functions properly. The lady I am with has yet to laugh though, not at the horn anyway. She laughs at the whole truck sometimes, and thinks I am nuts for getting it. Anyway, where did you get that set of HF horns...

Hi guys. The solution was to turn on the hi-beams to test to see if they would work, they did, then when I switched it back to low beams, they worked. It seems like the turn signal/hi-beam lo-beam/dimmer switch in the column, got stuck between low and hi-beam, so when I flipped between lo...

Hi guys, Thanks for all the advice. And thanks to one of you, advising me of one thing of many to check. I did as he suggested. And now my headlights are working again. Good day...

re; M1009 Headlight problem. Hi guys, I got a pm from another steel soldier earlier today. He told me to try to put the hi-beams on. I just did that, and now both bulbs from the old pair and the new pair work, but only on hi-beam. Any ideas? If I have to replace a switch, no problem...

Looks good, I wish I could afford to have him paint my M1009. Maybe some day.

re; M1009 Headlight problem Okay, will do. Even though all the other lights come on just fine. Where do I get a new headlight switch? Any auto parts store? Thank you. Happy Easter.

Ryan, Thank you for the advice. I will look into that. I looked at the ground connections behind each headlight, and they looked good. But I will trace the wires this time, and see if there are any broken wires.. In the mean time, if I have to drive after it gets dark, I drive with all my...

Hello Ryan, I answered all this in my First post I believe. But I will answer you anyway. Yes, my tail lights work. Yes, I checked the fuse, it is good, but I will check again, in the morning. Yes, I checked the blackout switch it is in the proper position for headlights. Yes, the cluster...

Hello Marcus, I thought I would start with the simplest solution, considering they worked fine yesterday, and there was no way to tell how old the bulbs were. Since I have never replaced them, and I have had the truck since June 2010. I figured they just burned out, so I bought two new bulbs...

Hi guys. My M1009 is having a problem. Yesterday all my lights were working fine, (headlights, taillights, etc.) This morning all my lights were working fine except for both headlights. I bought 2 brand new headlight bulbs, removed the old headlights, installed new headlights. Now, I still...

BP M1009, When you did your prep work, what type of sand paper did you use to roughen it up, so the paint would stick? I plan on doing the same thing.. But most of the paint job on it is way too smooth to apply paint, and it stick. So I need to roughen it up. Thank you.

Hi guys, Thank you for all the information. It is greatly appreciated. The trip is not confirmed yet, since it is way down there on June 27th. But if I do go, all this information will be duly considered. It sounds as though it would be alot of trouble to get around. But If I do go, I...

Hi guys, My M1009 "RumbleLina" and I may be (not confirmed yet) taking a road trip to Washington DC, June 26th, 2013. So I can be in Washington June 27th, 2013 for a possible meeting at 11am. Any advice, hints, contact info., anyone have, so I can make sure I get there and back in good...

Hi guys, Anyone have one or know where I can get an M1009 fusebox/wiring harness? I would like to get at least the fusebox. That is the part I would like to replace. It should be an actuall M-Series CUCV or M1009 fusebox, because if I remember correctly, there is a fuseslot for the blackout...
