I got my 1984 M1010 running. The fuel tank was emptied and fresh fuel put in with a bit of Marvel Mystery Oil. It also has a new fuel filter in place. For the record I did start it before changing the fuel or filter .....maybe not a good idea. It starts up pretty good when cold after three...
I think the module is called a DRAC module and is where the speed can be adjusted in the factory setup on tire changes and the like. It is a 1991 Suburban with a 5.7 gas engine, 700R4 transmission and NP241 transfer case. The module is right about where the starter relay is in the CUCV trucks...
I hate computers. I plan on doing the Plan B with the12V alternators as soon as I can scrape up the cash. The M1009 was easy to troubleshoot and easy to maintain and understand. I never understood why they used two different alternators though....ground to case and isolated ground. Seems it...
I like the way yours came out better. I had trouble getting mine to lean back so I could see them easily so I went with the full on dash mod! : (
Did you have trouble with the speed signal from the sender? I had to put in a "pull up" resistor to get it to work. Heres the picture of it. I...
Thanks for the reply. I am interested in parasitic drain so if you find that tutorial let me know. I am sure the headlight thing will come back to haunt me but for now they are turning on when the switch is on. All the lights are working except for the blackout ones on the rear bumper. They...
Thanks for the response. I am about an hour away from the truck until I get it running well enough to drive it home. I plan to head back up on Monday if the weather is good and do some more to it and will start with the sensor. I did look at it and it was plugged in but I was bushed after...
Just got a 1984 M1010. I drove a M1009 for 18 years as a DD but it has been sold for probably 8-10 years now so I am familiar with the CUCV vehicles but not polished up of late.
I have replaced the harmonic balancer due to age and cracked rubber, the flex plate due to several chewed up spots...
Do a search for Doghead Mod and you will find the instructions. The factory relay under the dash has a habit of sticking and leaving the starter running until it burns itself out.
Not much more to show at this point as the project has been on hold for quite some time since they were installed. I bought Speed Hut gauges...Speedo, tach, oil pressure, water temp, volts and fuel. I've been driving the suburban without the top of the dash for a long time now but plans are to...
