You'll learn more eating at Denny's. Private joke, as my last name is Denny. Back on topic. No need for a relay, timer, computer card or anything more than a starter button and wire. Gotta have resister plugs and not hold them on to long. I have a tractor set up like that. Tractor takes a...

I have a ujoint press and a "C" press as well. I've actually a pretty decent shop. No lift, no tranny jack, and nothing to pull an engine with except my little tractor that won't actually do it., shoulda seen it trying to lift a 350 ci V6, yeah that's "six", out of a 66 one ton. But, smaller...

My budget is minimal, my skills fair and my 1009 wanting, and so it goes...

Hey mangus, you really don't like any 12 volt conversions??? Not even to simplify the glow plug system?

Your gonna need a volt meter. I like the needle type, as the swing of the needle means more to me than numbers and decimal points. Anyhow, start at the batteries, and keep working toward the starter, find where the voltage drops. Keep that test meter in the truck and use it if it happens again.

anyone that has one, I am interested. Especially if it is good to go, complete with cv and u-joint.

I see a couple used on the ebad, but would rather buy from someone here, so I know it's good, or at least as described.

Just get a come-a-long and park next to big ol tree, it'll straighten. Wonder if that drive shaft will fit my 1009?

Only problem with mine is it taint there. As for snow what's that? Right now we got mush, about hip high in places, oughta freeze up real good. At least my posi / got-lock works. So does the back wind, but the tailgate wont drop. I just wired in two fuse boxes. One under the hood to power...

I need a front drive shaft for a M1009. Anyone have one, or know what swaps?

Bought a lug crimper and some hum-vee battery clamps. Now I need to find some good battery / welding cable. Anyone know of a good source for some and lugs to fit?

Man I hope it starts. Also bought some of those cheap cup holders, and a lighter socket. Just gotta get a fuse box, interior light, some body panels, seat belts, ...

Heck, I run kerosene in my little deisel Japanese tractor. It put puts just the same. Only issues are cold weather and gelling wax in the filter. A little deisel additive goes a long way.

Another course, if your so minded, would be to install a foot switch. I've always thought routing the starter switch wire through one would be a good safety anti-theft thing.

I've a local shop, very pleasant, and they let me do the carrying to and from the machines. $7.50 a tire. Even so, I own one of the cheapo manual tire changers and a cheapo bead breaker, and a cheapo bubble balancer myself. They are all from harbor freight and they all work. The cheapo...

If yours are good, and the new ones need a home, I may be buying.

To me it sounds as if the sending unit is not right for the truck. Did you hold the old and new side by side and compare? Were the arms the same angle, with the same amount of swing?

It would make sense. It started with a jump. Might just be those battery connections or the batteries. If not, I'll do the TM thing. Many thanks all. I like electrical work, but these cucv's have a few extra's kinks compared to the usual GM.

Just in case the batteries are good, what else would it be?

Forgot to mention, the volt gauge in the cucv read very low also. I don't have a load tester. Dosn't it take a carbon pile load tester to really test out a battery?
