One of the reasons I converted to pure 12V was to run a 2000 watt inverter. I mounted it under the passenger seat of my M1009 and run 4 gauge cables to it from the terminal block mounted on the right side of the interior just above the rear seat level. The plug side of the inverter faces out to...

Thanks! Love to see the stories of old soldiers back at work! And I too am very sorry about your little friend. I have special rascal tom cat who's getting on. Not looking forward to losing him...

Mangus that's a clever and accurate analogy... Nice.

Wow. Few things as vexing as electrical gremlins... Take a breath. Don't experiment. Study the wiring diagrams. Talk to people who know what they're talking about. Isolated ground is no big deal. It simply means the alternator's ground is sent via an "isolated" mount and wire to ground, instead...

Can't speak to the legal aspects. But be careful. Take it slow. all the best,

Back at you SSGT! My son enlisted in the USAF yesterday. All our gratitude and love to you and yours. May the spirit of the season move people the rest of the year. Semper Fidelis

Hey. Slow down. There's a big sticker (or was) in your engine compartment that said "Don't ever use starting fluid." Some folks do use it, but I go with the engineers who spec'd and built the thing. You're flying blind right now. There's something broken that will preclude starting. Before...

Elfraz. The good news is you're going through what so many of us have gone through. Definitely bone up on the TMs in the resources section of SS and also check out the stickies and FAQs. You'll be glad you did. Welcome!

Welcome!

I have a standard, heavy duty receiver hitch I pulled off one of my M1009s, designed to fit a K5 or Chevy pickup. Very straightforward. Nothing exotic about it at all. Fits right under the pintle hitch. Very common. You should have on problem picking one up on Craig's list. Watch the tow...

Hmmm. Check the brake fluid level. You may have a slow leak somewhere...

Yes. I have one. The issue is digging it up! Give me a day or two, but don't let me hang anything up if someone has another. Thanks for your research project!

Hey, I totally accept what you're saying, but respectfully, that's not scientific evidence, it's anecdotal evidence. That is, testimony based on personal experience. Which is fine. What I was looking for was a double blind test against control in a test lab with strict parameters. I put a can of...

Hey all, Does anyone have any objective, measurable data that "Seafoam" (or any other additive) does anything and under what conditions. Not trying to be obnoxious at all, just can't get a handle on any of this diesel additive stuff in terms before and after measurements under objective test...

My goodness. If it has that much sentimental value, do something to at least protect it in a state of arrested decay... It's worth it.

I hate to say this as it's only suspicion. I went through a very similar sequence. And it was a flakey gp controller card that was allegedly "good." Is the one you installed a new or used card?

I think this is probably not the right forum to pursue this issue and I apologize for even responding off-topic. I will close by reiterating I have COMPLETE faith in our military to defend the United States and our Constitution and its underlying principles. I also have no doubt whatsoever they...

Great job!!! Woof!

Just read that thread. VERY USEFUL. Thanks from me too...

That's a new one one me. I just did an R&R on my A/C equipped M1009 water pump and it was a real PITA, let me tell you. My heater is more than adequate, so I don't see the requirement from my seat...
