    might be bad alternator(s). make sure the generator lights turn on when ignition is on (power on but engine not running) you may have to give the engine a little rev to turn on the alternators. So if engine was started and not reved up a little the batteries may have been drained. charge the...

    Hub swap so i can use a set of m1009 rims on my m101a2.

    You will have to replace the axle. Most trailer shops or on the internet you can order a custom axle and hub set up.

    Aircraft landing gear lights on a m1008

    About 36 amps each on high. Use 8 Awg wire (I'm betting 10 would work just fine)

    permittable idling time?

    Also a multi fuel eats about 3/4 of a gallon a hour from my dealings. Some I'm sure are a tad less and or a little more.

    permittable idling time?

    The tm says if idle time is less then 30 min let the engine run. I would just let the truck run. Starting and stopping would be way harder on the engine and starting / charging system.

    Axle Shaft Installation

    One.... Are both axles off the ground? When you spin the drive shaft is the other tire spinning? Or if you have a hub unlocked it will spin the other axle. Just slide the shaft back In there are no c clips on the front axle. I am betting you have the hub unlocked and it's simply spinning the...

    M1009 axles under a M1008

    well I have taken her to Haspin and off roaded it and when in low range she does GREAT! On the road she is a tad doggie with 33" tires and 3.08 gears. If I were going to do it again I would do 3.42's with 33" tires. But the truck drives and feels good at 65 MPH. I did take the rear brake...

    Starter noise / free spinning

    My last M1009 would start instantly even at -5* with out a block heater. With a block heater you wont have a issue and will have heat right off that bat. One thing I do is put my engine heaters on a timer. That way it is not sucking power all night long. I would set mine for on 30 min, off 1...
