    I Need a Voltmeter Gauge for a CUCV M1009 1985

    I was using this thread and post for info on the gauge. I figure mine had been changed out in a prior life time, hence when I tried to do the resistor repair, it didn't work for me. I do believe mine is 24volt. That's what I get at the wiring harness going to the gauge. New gauge should...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Make sure you close that air path up with the included foam..... I did NOT when I changed mine.....got only tepid warm air, nothing hot...............needless to say I did it again, this time with the foam. As ya probably already noticed the AL heater core is thinner than the brass.... ENJOY...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Ordered new voltage gauge for M1009. Old one would peg out after start up. It runs approx. 29 volts after warm up. Tried to fix old gauge, but found it it wasn't the resistor, I believe it is a 12 volt gauge. Will post pic of new gauge when installed.

    Congrats on the win!! I haven't had any dealing with GP yet, but................there's a member on here that is part of their team... might drop him a note? Sounds like you are gettin the same advice from the guyz who have been there and done that. Hope all goes well with your recovery!!

    M923a1 dead in the water,,,,

    Suggest TM'S as reference. Start from battery and follow the 24volt? Weird from one day to next, but in my experience electrical doesn't give a lot of "warning". By slave off, I meant have you tried using a slave cable from one MV to another. (Imagine really large jumper cables) Slave port...

    I Need a Voltmeter Gauge for a CUCV M1009 1985

    Hey there folks, I have a question for ya. When I removed my gauge from the M1009, I noticed that I didn't have the "ceramic" resistor on the back. I only had two wires attached to the gauge. I looked at the pic that was posted here earlier and wrapped my new resistor around the appropriate...
