    No brake lights

    Try to hot wire the brake light switch before you purchase a new one. Could be just a"bad new switch". How did you get the LED tail lights to work with the flasher? Maybe that could be your issue?

    Tire Size Question

    I doubt while pushing a snow plow you will ever twist your M1009 suspension as much as cucvrus did in Rausch Creek . You won't have the clearance with a plow frame mounted. I have had to hand shovel out my plow trucks many a times because of just minor "miscalculations" of terrain under the...

    Not uncommon for the glow plugs to fail in rapid succession. If one goes down the power will increase to the others and burn them out as well. Its known as "The cascade effect"

    am having it with Electric fuel Pump mode, but what is Drain line ?

    I think you should replace the rusted and rotted fuel lines first. That's probably the source of your problems.

    Cold Advance Temp Sensor Failed.

    The new sensors come with a thread sealant already applied "See photo". As far as your wires are concerned, the sensor acts as a switch. 12 volt in one side and when cold it stays energised "normally closed circuit". As the engine warms up it opens the circuit/switch preventing 12 volt power...

    6.2 on its way out?

    Does it puff any smoke when it skips or surges? It sounds fuel related. Bad/sticky injector? Bad injection pump? Other than the surging the engine sounds strong and I would lean towards a bad/sticky injector. Another thought, Try unplugging the cold advance wire when its warm and idling. Maybe...

    cucv charging system m1009

    You may have a glow plug temperature sensor that's going bad and it's telling the glow plugs to cycle. When the engine is cold the glow plugs cycle for a short period "30-60 seconds" after start up. That's why you may get fluctuation in the meter. If the temperature sensor went bad it will keep...

    New M1009 - Few Questions

    For issue # 1 Replace your cold advance temperature sensor located on passengers side rear of engine by the last fuel injector. When engine is cold it always sends power to your cold advance solenoid when the key is on. As engine warms up it opens the circuit and drops power to your cold advance...

    Seat covers for M1009 CUCV

    I'm recovering from major cervical surgery at the moment. I think I will be mobile enough to get you a photo in about a week. Fold your seat back out of the way and feel the very back top of the base seat through the leather. You will feel a metal rod spanning the back. I didn't want to drill...
