Hi guys, Thank you for the advice... I will visit harbor freight as soon as time allows... And get a voltmeter.. I have been working alot of overtime lately and only have the weekends free to work on my truck... However, is there anyone in the Marietta, Smyrna, Kennesaw area, that can stop...

By the way, Thank you guys for suggesting I get a voltmeter to run tests... Which I will do asap. However, an answer to my question about what is going on, and how do I fix it? would of been greatly appreciated. Because I really needed to know, and need to get this truck running properly...

Tow4, So, does that mean that maybe one of the alternators is outputting too much? Thank you, for the reply. CJ

Hi guys, I just recently replaced the passenger side alternator (and the 2-wire plastic connector.) and rear battery because they went bad. Now the truck starts and runs, however the voltmeter needle on the instrument cluster stays in the green to the far right, until I put the gas pedal...

Hi guys, I just have one quick and simple question. Which battery is connected to Gen 2. The front or back? That is all... I do not remember.. Thank you... CJ

Hello 84K5, Welcome to Steel Soldiers. The first thing you absolutely, positively MUST do is, what is called the "Doghead Mod".. To prevent the starter from running away from you and frying the starter, and the fusible link/wiring harness, etc.. I speak from painful first hand experience...

Hello Rooster, Mine is an M1009, and it is my one and only vehicle, so it is my daily driver. And I love it. I drive it to and from work, errands, road-trips, etc. Anytime I need to get anywhere. And since I got the typical issues worked out, it is fairly dependable, so I have no...

Hello Rsh, Sorry to hear that. Sounds like what happened to mine shortly after I got it. However, with help from the people on this website, I got all those problems worked out. Now she starts, runs and drives quite well enough. So I have no complaints. And still working on minor issues as...

I agree. Also, I would think, it being a military vehicle it would be exempt from such ridiculous regulations anyway. I know that in here in Georgia. A military vehicle is exempt from having to display a license plate. So one night years ago, an officer pulled me over, and said he did so...

Just curious. Whatever happened to this M1009? Did it ever get sold, kept & restored, scrapped, etc?? Good night.

Hi guys, RumbleLina likes Shell Rotella T oil, And a Fram oil filter.. I believe it is one of their 2 quart HP filters.. If I am not mistaken. Hope this helps. Good night.

Hello Rich. See, that is why I ask you guys these questions. What do you mean as long as I do not have a front locker? And that they are dangerous on ice. I have a completely stock 1985 M1009. Thank you.

Hi guys, I have a simple question, about the M1009 while in 4WD mode. Is there any limit to the amount of miles you can drive, while in age stage of 4WD (high or low and front hubs locked.)? I ask because I live and work in the Atlanta area, so I was stuck in heavy traffic for 10+ hours...

Hello, Darn, I wish this post had caught my eye before I just replaced my heater core just a few months ago. I am having a similar issue, I will have to go under there, and see if there is a gap, if there is perhaps I will use insulation, or replace the core again with the spectra premium...

Hi Guys, Anyone making a trip from Georgia to Pennsylvania, or even close to a route like that. I need transport for 4 people plus about 1 rooms worth of belongings, and perhaps a small 4 door sedan with a blown engine. PM me if any of you will be making such a trip and have the ability...

Hi guys, About all I have done since the last repair (replaced all glow plugs, had fuel injection pump rebuilt, etc...) Is too work on the electrical system. So this weekend I removed some non-stock spaghetti (wiring) installed by the previous owner that did not have to be there,cleaned and/or...

Attention everyone, I have a question for all of you... On Sunday October 13th, 2013.. (Last Sunday) Did any of you drive up the I-75 thru Marietta, Ga. on your way home? If so... Do you remember seeing people stand on the Delk Road overpass exit #261... Between 10am and 2pm..?? If you...

Hi all, With these vehicles they sometimes have issues, like any other older or newer vehicle. However, once you take care of those, and get to a point where any other maintenance is just normal and routine, they make great daily drivers. I drive my M1009 every day, and I am very happy with...
