    84 M1009 not starting

    The engine will not start, if your starter will not provide at least some 200 rpm. So may be your starter is bad. Change to the new replacement starter, for the original starter is known to be not reliable. The number for the replacement starter is 6598N. Wolf

    swordmd, are you shure you want to use a over 40 year old truck for off road trail?
