I just went out in the "back 40" to try to start my m1009. It's 24v w./ doghead relay. I got the glow plug thunk, then turned the key, solid starter relay thunk, but the starter wouldn't spin at all. We've had a long hot summer and it's been cooking some of my batteries, so I suspect that's...

My Voltmeter has been dead since I bought my truck a couple of months back. I know it worked when I test drove it. I took the plate with the relays and starter relay off and one of the relays is missing. I think someone was monkeying with them before I bought the car (it had all kinds of...

For some reason the tow ball is missing on my pintle hook assembly in my m1009. I'd love to put a 2" ball on there. Has anyone had any luck finding a good match? The shank diameter is pretty close to 1.25 inches but not quite for some reason. I tried this model and it doesn't quite fit in...

Why do I see so many of these trucks that have damage to the center lower piece of the brush guard, near the front license plate position? Is it related to how they were tied down / trailered when they were in service? I keep looking at mine and I want to fix it but I think I might just cut...

I finally got my truck running and now I'm trying to fix the "small" stuff. I want to replace the missing rear window crank so that I can actually get in and out using the tailgate. Looking at the parts still remaining and then looking at the cranks for sale for the K5 on Ebay and such, I...

Found some 60/40 seats locally from a Suburban. '01 I think. The owner says he thinks it's the middle seat. Will these swap to the front of an m1009? I don't mind making brackets if necessary. Rotated the picture...

So I finally finished with the solenoid mod, rebuilt starter, rear bracket, etc on the m1009 that I recently purchased. In another thread I mentioned that it quit running a day after I test drove it and the starter was fried. After the fixes today the truck cranked up pretty easily. I let it...

Hi guys. I know most are of the opinion to just keep the 24v system instead of converting. I just got my 1009 home and I may need to do a significant amount of rewiring regardless of 12v conversion or keeping it 24v. I'm also 99% sure I will need to rebuild the starter or get a new one...

Sorry, I know this topic has been discussed many times but the threads I found are old. I'm looking to buy a local m1009 and I have reason to believe the new starter on it is junk and is causing the relays to pop. I'm guessing that must be a solenoid issue. Anyway, I'd love to find a shop...

Hi guys. Thanks to everyone who maintains this site. I've been lurking for a few days reading the FAQs and various topics. I was hoping to be an m1009 owner this week, but it appears I will not be unfortunately. I'd like to relay my experience in case there's something I am overlooking. I...
