It has been frustrating some Mark. But a perfect learning experience for Colton. This weeks subject was cutting and welding with a torch. We need to make new floor sections. So, he got to learn how to set up the tanks, torch and cut steel. Then just for fun, I showed him how to weld with...

The volt meter on my M1009 has never pointed at the little tick with both alternators putting out 14.4 volts each. It was always in the green though. Lately, it really doesn't even go into the green with everything working. I have been collecting parts for Colton's RED M1009 for about 2...

Have you pulled and cleaned all the fuses, relays, plugs under the hood, big plug passing through the firewall and all the terminals? What is your volt meter doing when the lights flicker?

Several post above mention the manuals. The manual ending in -20 has a great 70 some odd page trouble shooting section. It also has all the wiring diagrams in the back. I would suggest again that you download or print out the manuals and follow the steps. While it sounds like you have a fuse...

I feel the same way Mark. I prefer MV's over everything else now. Looking good. You just might make the picnic next week. I am just sorry I can't make the truck debut event.

TM 9-2815-237-34 is the manual for the engine. It only mentions lifters with the engine already broken down into sub assemblies. Have you looked at the regular -34 manual?

I had a solenoid stick on me. After pulling it apart I found the contact plate inside the solenoid was bad. It had arced and stuck on. Sounds like you have the same problem. Go with the advice offered in the posts above and move onto the starter being the issue.

I am glad you brought this thread back up. I needed to update my opinion of the redux 28MT. I have been using it just about daily while moving the RED M1009 project around to work on it. That thing sure does spin the engine fast. It also seems to be nicer to the batteries. We started the...

As mentioned above, both alternators were charging even though the ALT 2 light wasn't coming on. Again, we had voltage with the key on at the back of the gauge panel where the light goes. Just, no light. I plugged in a stock volt meter at the volt meter plug and it didn't show a thing. I...

Hot and humid this afternoon.

I thought the same when I walked outside this morning. Perfect painting weather. You two have fun.

Glow plugs, fuel and compression. You say it runs great once started, so lets say the compression is good. You didn't mention if this is on the first start of the day or every start of the engine hot or cold. If it is just the first start then glow plugs and fuel filter base should be...

Chris, a regular medium tow bar with the small feet is what "fits" both the 151 and the 715. If you want to buy, contact Sermis since he has all the pieces and a 151 to make sure everything really does fit. Borrowing is another story. Most of us with a tow bar don't like them to be...

Do the same to the drivers side. Calipers are cheap enough.

The speedometer working for the first few miles and then getting slower and slower until it doesn't move until it sits for a few hours is a sign your plastic gear inside the tcase is shot. It has a square drive for the speedometer cable. If your speedometer or cable are causing too much drag...

Just so people looking at this in the future will have a reference. The -20 manual has a trouble shooting section on the fuel gauge and it spells out what the gauge should do when you have the lead to the sender unhooked and grounded. The gauge that only goes to 1/2 when the tank is full is...

What gauges? Do you mean just the stock fuel gauge and volt meter?

The tab is supposed to face the alternator body. See if you can wiggle the connections inside the alternator around some. If you can, then you need to pull the alternator apart because that is the regulator and it is supposed to be solid mounted. That is the only thing I can think of...

It is a 50 gallon tank and is 15 inches tall. That means every 3 inches of tank is 10 gallons of fuel. My Gasser M35 needs about 6 gallons of fuel in the tank to run. I have a stick that stays under the seat with grooves cut in every 3 inches. When I get to the last groove, I have about...

Is it brake pedal applied related? The power steering pump supplies the power brakes. There are 3 bolts on the pump mount that will work their way loose into the pulley. They make an awfull racket until you figure out what it is. If you pump bearings are loose, it could just happen when you...
