    GL Spamming?

    I'm running Thunderbird, and the problem is only happening with the auction ads from GL. They have been coming in waves. As my settings have Thunderbird checking for email every 15 minutes or so, I would have thought it would happen each time it checks for new email if it was a sync issue. The...

    Trailer Light Wiring/Plug

    Which truck do you have? The M1009 will require an adapter if you don't want to tap into or change the existing wiring. There are threads here on making an adapter to plug into either the NATO plug or the weather-pack connectors that feed the NATO plug. If you have one of the other CUCVs, M1008...

    M1009 CUCV 24V No Start

    So, what is it doing? Does it crank? GP system still using the 24v source, or converted to 12v source? First of all, I would suggest is to make sure the batteries have a full charge and have them load tested. Second, use the GP system trouble shooting guide in the TMs to verify that the GP...

    Won't stop cranking, blown fuses, melted wires, lots of smoke... scratching head.

    My guess would be that the starter solenoid stuck in the engaged position, as you suspected. I don't think the block heater had anything at all to do with it. The wires melted due to the heavy load put on the system. It is not designed to run the starter in a continuous fashion.

    LMC Truck Head light circuit mod

    The one I have, and others I've seen in pictures don't seem to come with any standard fuses, though there is/was some speculation that the short wires that connect directly to the battery and then plug into the rest of the harness *may* be made of fusible links. I've not seen/heard of any...

    LMC Truck Head light circuit mod

    My only concern with joining the hot wires this way is that if the fuse blows, you lose both high and low beams. With separate, fused, runs to the battery, you would probably still have one or the other if there was a short somewhere.

    Simple question... have you tried turning the headlight knob to increase the brightness of the dash lights?

    Solenoid Assistance for M1009

    Verify that the GP solenoid is isolated ground, otherwise your GPs might be on all the time, which would get the resistor bank a bit warm.

    :doh: Sorry, missed the bit where the truck was converted to 12v. Never mind... nothing to see here, move along...

    cucv glow plug controler and 12v conversion

    From this description, it *sounds* like the relay is probably bad, as well as being the wrong one for the stock CUCV GP system. What you have there sounds like what is commonly called a "starter" solenoid. The CUCV GP relay *must* be an isolated-ground unit, otherwise it might be on all the time...

    Why is the wheelbase on the driver's side om my 1009 an inch longer than the pass..?

    I would guess that something has shifted, as you already mentioned. Having a frame shop look at it wouldn't hurt either. Having said that, the size tires you have on there are, in general, a hit or miss thing as to whether they will rub or not. It seems to vary from truck to truck, and tire...
