@Barrman: you were right. I replaced the fast idle solenoid today and had a look at the bad one. There is one really thin copper wire and it is broken. I will try to repair it.

From cash to trash in no time……😱

No worries. Time weather most vehicles - especially rubber parts on vehicles and rubber in general. Never use a rubber seal twice. It will give you problems. Unfortunately the aftermarket rubber seals often fit poorly. With LMC and Rockauto you should be good to go. Good luck. Take care.

This is the assembly I need with the „angle iron“ that fixes the center plate.

Yes sir! Plus the angle iron to fix this center plate 😃

Safety Flo-Lite - good to see that. Very certain this window glass came with the M1009 from the factory in 1983.

Vintage GM wire ties still exist? I had to cut one in a M1009 and had to replace it with a new zip tie - I hated it. Just a wire tie but every detail counts.

This is not just a random M1009. This is a masterpiece from the heart of the Engle Family. Strength and honor to you. Take care. Happy new year.

I have a radio bracket. I can send it to PA if you want me to.

Yes exactly. A good friend of mine has one solenoid as a spare and I am very happy he will give it to me. But I will follow your advice and maybe I can repair mine when the other one is in and working properly. Always good to have a spare. Thanks Barrman! And thanks for your great videos on...

Old thread but new to me. The plunger motor on my M1009 must be replaced. Part number in the -20P TM is 14066255. Does anyone have one or maybe two for sale? Maybe NOS? Please let me know. Thanks.

The tires look great. Good choice.

Never mind! You will do better next time….. 😄

Better safe than sorry. The stock Harmonic Balancers are nearly 40 years now. Time is running and rubber will fail.

The two batteries are connected parallel (12V) and not in series (24V). The 24V starter is replaced with a 12V starter. You just need one 12V alternator for this hacked up wiring. The 12V from the batteries go to the wiring block and from there to the glow plug relay. The resistor on the...

DAYCO PB1102N is always my choice. I rather spend some money in replacing the HB than worrying about a catastrophic failure that can occur every time and will give you and the truck a very hard and expensive time.

I have one in my barn.

That's how I would do it.

Some progress on the military markings. There are four layers of markings and I wanted to preserve all of them. Three are readable already and identify the unit the M1009 was in service.

Seems like she has the 6.2 Detroit Diesel and a new injection pump 😄
