Rats. I have the opposite problem. I sent a guy money because he said it works and it didn't. No returns... Hope you're feeling better Carnac.

Small business and farms are exempted...

P.S. Yes, he also used some electrical component cleaning fluid of some kind (probably a volatile solvent like acetone). And I'm sorry, but the corrosion is tenacious enough, I doubt blowing air into it will work...

Whoops!!! Good luck on the gp card... My shop technician used a narrow tipped paint scraper of "just the right thickness" to carefully (even if it doesn't sound like it!) to get up into the gp card receptacle. He just gave the connections a good, gentle scraping. I've noticed the same kind of...

Great story. Thank you and congratulations!

I agree on all points from mkcoen, except 12v conversion. I was very reluctant but did for about 10 reasons I detailed in another thread (keywords 12v 14v conversion problems). For my purposes, I am very, very, very (that's 3 very's) happy with the 12v conversion and have retained the...

There are two glow plug modules on ebay right now under "CUCV." One used, one new. 14 hours left on each as I post this...

Well, Government Liquidiation, but that has a certain amount of risk. My guess is the classifieds right here on Steel Soldiers is a good place. Lots of good folks with great iron to sell...

Whoa, careful. As a recently bewildered Glow Plug Circuit novice, I know how easy it is to confuse the terms "glow plug card," "glow plug relay," "starter solenoid," "24v starter relay." Not to put words in anybody's mouth, but I believe the push button alternative bypasses the controller card...

Oh and try E-bay for glow plug modules. Search "M1009" and "CUCV." They're getting very pricey. Last one I saw sold for $300. But prices vary widely. Nothing wrong with a used one if it's guaranteed. From what I've read, they're fairly robust and reliable

I sympathize with you. Chasing down these glow plug circuit issues is vexing; I've been through it. I understand you don't want to contort yourself under the dash. IF you can find a competent auto electric outfit in your area, they will, at modest cost, test the glow plug module circuits and...

M1009 as daily driver... Absolutely. The M1009 sounds like a good choice for what you want. I drive mine daily love it. Unlike its pick up truck sisters, it's got those 3.08 axles that allow easy freeway+ speeds. Plus, and you don't see this mentioned too often, it's very maneuverable, very...

Check the classifieds in the right column of the home page on SS... Once you get there, you can select "Vehicles." And if the guy you're dealing with is a jerk, forget him. It especially ticks me off he'd treat US Military that way. There are plenty out there for sale, some can be had for good...

Pulley size of the alternators? That's interesting, but how could it matter? What's the physical or electrical reason for the difference? Even in the 24v system, each alternator charges one battery, correct? I have not experienced that in either of my two M1009s. However, in one vehicle the Gen...

First. Thank you for your service. Come home safe! Second, go slow. Be cautious. I trust the TMs before I trust anything else. I've heard so many conflicting stories about the suspension on M1009s, it pays to sort through it before spending any money. Besides, the stock setup it outstanding IMHO...

The recovery. Drove it home. Montana to California. Montana State Capitol, August 2008.

Okay. I'm back and a little more coherent than late, late last night... Many thanks to Bunkerbuilder for cleaning up my well-intentioned but messy direction... I was very hesitant to convert my 24V, in part because I prefer the originality, respect the capabilities of 24v starting and partly...

I can't imagine there's any such law and if there was, who would enforce it and at what priority... especially for the Lt's vehicle. I hope to restore the original markings on my 85 M1009. An air defense regiment at Fort Hood...

Before doing anything, I urge you to check out the Robeson Equipment Center instructions for the conversion. They're an interagency resource for the US Forest Service and others. I believe it's available in the resources section of this website. If not google it. They're pros and they've already...

I have been contemplating my first ever non-spray can painting experience for my M1009. You're my hero. Fine work! Hope you still call it "Pinky" though...
