So yesterday i bought a new 12v battery, kept my old one and threw it on the charger. A buddy of mine told me if i didnt have a voltage meter on me to take a screwdriver and place it on the back of the alternator in the center while running and it should be magnetized. It was not. The truck when...

Thank you sir!! Ill try that also give you all updates when complete

Thank you all, im going to tear into all the electrical connections today clean and paste them up with the proper electrical grease. Got up this morning to make a dump run, electrical volts at 9. No start as batteries were dead. Im going to get 2 new batteries as soon as i jump it

Everything went out at the same time, lights all electrical and engine

Good morning gents, so last night i had my family in the m1009 and we were all nice and warm cruising down the highway. Went to change lanes as cars were attempting to merge onto the highway and all of a sudden my headlights shut off, all the lights on my dash went out and the engine shut off...

Count me in, need some battrees

I wanted different, never seen a two tone. And its only paint so....i can always redo it

Here she is, repainted with baer exterior paint and rhino lined the interior. One of a kind 2 tone m1009. Waiting for the black trim to come in

So call me crazy but i think I'm going to paint my m1009 two tone with flat black. I searched and haven't seen anyone do uit yet. I had a 85 k5 that was gray with a red center stripe. Im going to make all the trim black and post. The pics when I'm finished.

It gets faster and slower with speed. Louder the longer i drive.

Ever since i bought my m1009 after drive for a little while, i have a chafing sound that sounds like its coming from the the left front. The longer i drive the louder it gets. Ive rebuilt my hubs when i changed all the ball joints, still getting the sound. I cant pinpoint the sounds. I check the...

Cool! Just need a spot for myself and pup to sleep.

I still need to find a surplus trailer, some people on this form have swapped the rear axle out, or have coverted the tongue with a hydraulic actuator. Ill cross that bridge when i get there. Probably will get into more than i can chew but have to learn somehow.

Ive been working out gremlins since i bought the truck, fixing bad/hacked wired connections. Need to replace the pass inner wheel well l. Then im cleaning up the main positive cables. Still needs alot of work. Im in Norwich, you? I want to get it as original as possible and find a m105...

Im thinking of doing that. They are fairly new being 2019 autocraft golds with a 3 year warranty. The only reason i think there's a draw is because it fired up fine the night before and the only thing i noticed when the truck was wouldnt turn over was the service switch to be in the one position.

Stupid question, would leaving your service light switch on overnight kill your battery? Not the head lights themselves but the switch you activate for your service lights to work. If not then i have a draw coming from somewhere.

Thank you gents for the help. When I get home from work today I attempted to Tinker on the m1009. Decided put the Blazer in my carport before the rain well my battery was completely dead. I took out my ohms meter tested each battery it's a 12 volt 2 battery system voltage read 11.8 in each...

Good evening gents, I took my 86 m1009 out today and she was going great. Went to see family, got in at dark 30 flipped on my headlights, came on fine, went to turn left hit my signals....nothing. flipped my right signal...nothing. turned my headlights off. Signals worked, turned on my parking...

Good afternoon all, So I'm having an issue fueling up at the pumps. Besides the BOHICA prices, I have to fill my 86 m1009 very.......very slowly to prevent it from burping up and out of the filler. Other then the vent built i to the filler neck, is there any other reasons for this?

Good read!!! Thank you! Maybe after my t400 pops as i just dumped a bunch of money into the rebuild. Would i be ok swapping out to the 3.08 gears or go to a 3.73 gear, maybe ill test a 3.42 and do a writeup
