I installed a 400 continuous / 800W peak "Power Bright" inverter, 24V, (modified sine wave) and hooked it to the radio-power cables on the passenger-side wall. I use it to run a set of computer speakers / mp3 player, and now I have the capability to charge cell phones, etc. I haven't had any...

A perfect example of why it's better to work on these yourself instead of taking it to a mechanic. I went to one place and after 15 minutes of explaining about the military mods, non-standard components, 24V / 12V electrical system, etc,.... realized the person was not really listening...

Just to clarify, are you talking about using the suburban's third seat as the m1009's rear seat? Or are you talking about adding a 3rd seat to the M1009, so it would have 3 rows? (is there even room for that? I had daydreamed about putting one of those rear-facing station-wagon seats in mine...

Just to verify, this is the one? Wix 24770 & Napa 4770 Base: FleetFilter Secure Online Store I've got a rough idle happening and this could definitely be the problem. It looks like you replaced your fuel lines too... how much did you need, approximately? And thanks in advance for saving me...

CUCV Starter Bracket Picture Many thanks to Warthog for posting these pics for me. To aid in members easily searching, I am reposting them with as many obvious keywords as possible. Hopefully no one else will (as I did) spend 5 minutes searching for the pics and then start a new thread /...

Can anyone post a pic of what the starter bracket looks like installed on a direct drive starter? I had a shop replace my starter recently and apparently they didn't think it necessary to finish the job. I think I have the bracket... there is something dangling nearby that looks like it'd fit...

My windshield wipers make an awful squeeky noise when they're on. Is there a way to lubricate the linkage? It seems to be hidden behind the firewall somewhere, and I couldn't figure out a way to get to it. Let me know if you have any ideas!

It is!!!! It feels like it doesn't rotate correctly... wtf

I had this exact problem... though it was probably my own fault... I recently re-tensioned all my belts and must have missed that one nut when re-tightening.

Glad to hear you had some luck with that! Congratulations!

If you had to guess, what would you say the max pressure of the cooling system is?

yeah, unfortunately it's this or buy a gas-powered vehicle... neither is a cheap option.

According to Eccotemp L5 specifications on their website, the heater needs 20-80 psi. I'm not sure if this is required for a pressure switch to activate the heat (it's supposed to shut off if the water pressure stops) or if this is more of a recommendation so the "shower" will work. I had...

hopefully I'd only need to heat the coolant from, say, -10 to 30 before the engine would be able to start. I can't imagine that would take longer than 20 minutes. I'm working on finding a suitable water pump right now. Would need to be electric and capable of 20-80psi. Also it'd need to be...

I think after 5 minutes of running 140 deg coolant (25 liters or about 9 gal) into the engine it would be warm enough to start. Once its running I'd want to cut that coolant loop off and shut down the heater/pump. I can't think of any reason it would need to be running all the time...

craters, Can you link to a specific pump that has worked for you? The Eccotemp L5 and Marey L5 both have a 5 liter/min capacity, so a pump that does about that or maybe a bit more would be best. They list in their specs that they need 20-80 psi of water pressure, so the pump would need to...

I was thinking this type of pump could be used to circulate coolant through the engine. Still looking for a good solenoid valve to isolate this coolant loop when the coolant is hot

Probably would also have to install switches in the coolant lines so the Tankless Heater could be taken out of the loop when the engine is warm or it's summer outside... Maybe solenoid/electric switches so that could be done from in the cab.

Hey all, Was just looking a month or two into the future... at the certainty that one of these Chicago winter days will leave me out in the cold... way-below zero... and my M1009 will just not start. I bought an electric freeze-plug type block heater which I'll install soon, but I have a...

A million thanks to SS member "ChicagoDiesel" for helping me remove and replace my harmonic balancer, as well as point out a few other things I should look at. The big one is that my rear-most passenger-side fuel injector seems to be leaking fuel. The engine is running more smoothly, but...
