I have an M1009 that I want to get running but it does not have any batteries in it. Can I take another M1009 and connect the NATO slave cable and get it to start? I don't want to invest in batteries if it want start and I was trying not to have to take my batteries out of the running CUCV...

Why does my M1009 master cylinder almost always have a small drop of brake fluid on the outside bottom? I had this issue with the old one and replaced it and still have the problem. Nothing seems to be coming from the rear where it bolts up; besides, if it did, it would have to run uphill due...

Enjoy!

Just hooked it up as directed (ran the yellow wire to the white/black wire on the brake pedal switch) and it works perfectly.

I just bought a low-profile LED third brake light and want to mount it on top of my M1009. It has two wires: black and yellow. How do I connect this to my truck? I already have a 4-pin trailer towing cable hooked in and thought it may be easier to just connect to that. I thought it would be...

I just rebuilt the IP and it now runs the way it should! Gone are the warm start issues, vibration, sluggishness, and overall lack of power.

Just completed installing the Bosch from Advance mentioned by Drock. Very pleased. Other than having to heat the water pump plug to get it out, no problems with the install. Gauge reaches 180°F and then drops when thermostat opens then settles out to around 160°F while driving around town...

What are the recommendations on adding a analog temperature gauge to the dash next to the voltmeter? Specifically, which one and how does it need to hook up to the engine?

My friend has a M1031 that has the problem of draining it's batteries after only a few days. He recently noticed (after dark) that with the key out, both GEN 1 and GEN 2 lights were glowing dimly. What wiring gremlin would cause this issue? The truck is in military stock configuration and...

I recently saw in a civi K-5 the hand straps mounted in the corners of the top for the rear seat passengers. I have a set that I want to mount in my M1009. My question is, what type of screws should I use in the fiberglass?

I recently had the injectors replaced due to another issue (rough idle) but that did not fix the problem. The diesel guy said that the IP had been rebuilt at Ft. Bragg but could not say when or how deeply. So no, I cannot say that it is not the problem or a contributor. I do fail to see the...

I thought about the post concerning the warm starter being sluggish. I don't think that is the case here. When the starter is hottest, right after being driven, it starts up just fine. An hour or so later, it is still warm but cooler than it was so why the problem? My thinking would dictate...

What RPMs are you turning at crank? I would like to invest in one to also check my idle and high idle speeds. Thanks!

You mentioned the newest rev on your cards some time back and I am glad to see that they are progressing nicely! Although it does work, I want to understand why. The GP temp sensor appears to be working and I know how to check for the feed resistance so I might do that. Again, on a 20°F...

The starter sure seems to have the necessary umph to get it going. I have heard that somewhere in the 600 to 700 RPM range is what is needed. How can I have this tested (RPMs) at start-up?

I have tried the cold water but with no effect. No fuel leaks. If the IP is going, then why does cycling the GPs work? I do not understand nor see any commonality.

My CUCV has started the dreaded warm start problem. Starts fine when cold (winter) or just after sitting overnight in summer or after 6 or so hours after being driven. Other than a manual glow plug button, all electronics are stock. Starts up fine within a few minutes of shutting down but not...

I have done as you suggested and it did help. Does that mean my temp sensor is failing by not giving a lower resistance to cause the GPs to come on?

Same exact thing with a friends M1008. Test the lead on the starter relay under the dash (i.e., the Doghead mod). Mine was clicking but for whatever reason, not sending the 24V to the relay on the starter. The red wire will have 24V all the time (be careful)! The other fat wire (purple) will...

For years, my 1984 M1009 has not missed a beat starting. Whether it was 20°F or 110°F, it fired right up. Lately, after sitting around an hour or two after fully warming up, it takes several tries to get it to start. Cold start is no issue; only warm after sitting. I have replaced the...
