    I have air conditioning AND a running M1009!

    I don't have a turbo, so I can't say for sure. I do know that the instructions that came with the kit made no provisions for trucks with a turbo setup, and it appears that the compressor brackets are made strictly to work on the right side of the truck. I would contact NAP directly and see...

    I have air conditioning AND a running M1009!

    Actually that vent wasn't installed at all. The air shop didn't move the switches, and I haven't figured out what I'm going to do with it yet. Right now the duct terminates behind the instrument cluster. I'd like to track down a frog eye vent like you see on airplanes and install that, either...

    I have air conditioning AND a running M1009!

    It's actually an insert that goes into the existing crank pulley... basically unbolt the existing pulley, insert new pulley in the center, rebolt, run belts. I took a few pics of it, one is from me laying on my back looking up at it, and the other is the best angle I could get looking down from...

    tops off

    I have A/C now, so the top stays on! My M1009 is my DD year round too.

    I have air conditioning AND a running M1009!

    Ok, so I explain the fuse block with the last two pictures (that actually show it) weren't included into the first pic dump. Also, the ash tray is like that because it's as far in as it currently goes. I'm going to have to modify the frame to see if it fits in, or just weld that little hole...

    I have air conditioning AND a running M1009!

    The fuse block under the dash near the evaporator is no part of the kit, it's something I put in for accessory power

    I have air conditioning AND a running M1009!

    $500 total with tax and additional parts. No charge to have it towed back to the shop and have the short fixed either.

    If you do decide to do the OD Iron kit yourself, check out NAP's website and get their directions. It might help you out

    I have air conditioning AND a running M1009!

    Only cost me $85 too. If you've been following along at home you will recall I had a Nostalgic Air Parts A/C kit installed in my M1009. This led to some electrical issues. Apparently there was a short under the dash that was aggravated by the A/C install. I had the truck towed back to the...

    Spotted M1009 main gate at Moody afb,Ga

    I'm up at Robins

    M1009 is COMPLETELY dead

    sounds like it, because moving the brake pedal has an effect on the clicking... pull the petal out (toward the back of the truck) and the clicking stops (and the truck dies). Let the pedal rest naturally or push it in and the truck clicks (and will still not start) I'm going to call the shop...

    M1009 is COMPLETELY dead

    Ok, something is BAD wrong with it, and it's not the fusable link either. Apparently the air shop pulled the whole steering column, and now there's a short somewhere under the dash. It's the air shop's problem starting tomorrow. They broke it, they fix it.

    M1009 is COMPLETELY dead

    When that baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some ****! In other news, I looked at all the wires going to/from the diamond shaped block on the firewall. No obvious breaks or breakthroughs. After tugging on them and such I went and turned the key. All the lights came on (wasn't...

    M1009 is COMPLETELY dead

    ok, so what amperage would such a fuse require to be effective, safe, and strong enough to handle the load handed to it?
  15. Napoleon_Tanerite

    M1009 is COMPLETELY dead

    can that wire be replaced with an in-line fuse, so if I'm dumb enough to do it again (read: WHEN i'm dumb enough to do it again) i can just throw in a spare fuse?

    M1009 is COMPLETELY dead

    Ok, this is a bit of a spinoff of a post from another thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/598751-post15.html Long story short, I had an AC kit installed in my M1009. Started and ran great for the first 3 or 4 starts. I had left the blower motor on full power when I shut it off, and the...

    Epic, brutal failure

    please tell me they're something that's easy to find at autozone.... any chance of a part number?

    Epic, brutal failure

    Picked it up today... $500 out the door WITH tax included! A/C blew good and cold. Only problem is on the 3rd or 4th start the blower motor shorted out the WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM! The truck is completely dead, NOTHING works. Any idea where to look to track down the short? I checked all the...

    M1009 is a BEAST off road!

    I need to find more opportunities to take my M1009 off road, especially with the new Firestone Destination MTs I put on it a few weeks ago!

    Epic, brutal failure

    well, the $500 is in addition to the $950 already spent on the kit, so it's not a parts + labor screaming deal. If that was the case I'd imagine all you guys would be planning road trips and crashing on my couch!
