It has a sticker on it that says 24V, for whatever that's worth. If I'm still having issues after the relay swap my next stop will be a starter shop. I'm in the process of replacing the relay now and charging the batteries. I noticed that the terminals were not well connected. Might be why...

Right. I get parallel vs series but thanks that's a good diagram.

I already have a 12v winch so I'll have to deal with that. How do people normally power high draw items like this? I mean, do you pick the front or rear battery? It seems like drawing down one batter and not the other could potentially cause problems. I've also seen some people using the...

MarcusOReallyus: Thanks for your detailed response. That's exactly what I was looking for. I'll change out the relay and see how it does. For some reason this thing keeps smoking starters, but I don't have a lot of details from the previous owner. The one that's on there now is obviously new...

I'm a little confused. Did the Suburbans and other 12v trucks have issues? Seems like a 12v gear reduction would get the job done.

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...

Thanks! That's super close to me. Galeo, I'm gonna take you up on your offer as soon as I get it back to my house.

Thanks, that's really good to know. My Dad lives there and could toss it in a USPS flat rate box for me.

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...

Will do, thanks! I missed the topic about testing starters. I have a couple of multi-meters floating around. Sounds like this is one of those take everything off, test everything, rewire anything that doesn't look right kinda projects. EDIT: OK, not sure why I wasn't thinking about...

A couple of follow-up questions Are those Chinese relays SO bad that they fry the first time? (Hey, sorry. I'm being honest, not trying to be a wisea%#.) Is the previously new starter likely already shot after running for 5 seconds? Why would it short with the key OFF? Thanks for any...

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...
