Yes they do.

I just wanted to add that I ran into the same problem as the OP. Backing plate had no cutout for the star adjuster. I had to punch out the metal tab on the drum to access the innards of my drum brakes. (looked more like a rock tumbler than anything :shock:). Much of the brake hardware/star...

UPDATE Aug 10. I was able to get to take apart the original starter motor yesterday evening. The problem turned out to be the spring inside of the solenoid. The spring was hooked on the plate that it was supposed to push against. This caused the spring to retract and push the Bendix toward the...

UPDATE Aug 9 Morning. I found a new (used) starter motor on craigslist. I'm going to replace my starter so I can have a working truck and more time to troubleshoot the broken one. @Barrman, Thanks for the heads up on the bendix gear/spring, I will report back my findings here probably...

UPDATE August 7 evening It turns out the small gear on the starter motor is not staying retracted after starting the engine. It is slipping back into the way of the flywheel and barely touches it. That is the source of the noise. So, my questions is: What is the next step I need to take to...

UPDATE Aug 7 Installed a 12 Gauge fusible link for the 12volt battery cable that goes to the 12volt terminal on the drivers side of the firewall.

Hi, I am trying to diagnose an engine noise that I discovered on my recently acquired M1009. 1, When I first started driving it, the noise was intermittent. One minute there, gone the next. This week it has been persistent. 2, The pitch of the noise escalates when the engine revs higher. 3...

UPDATE July 30 Morning Well I ended up moving my 1 good alternator to the passenger side. I purchased a new alternator from Autozone, DL7157, and installed it on the driver's side. I used my digital volt meter to test the voltage at the 24v terminal near the batteries. 1st reading was...

Please see pictures for comments. 1 Picture shows the battery area with the rear battery neg lead, with now fusible link that I could detect. (It does have a large black sleeve on it) The 2 other pictures show the "extra" red wire under the dash. EDIT: I had the alternator tested, and it...

UPDATE - Jul 29 Morning 1, I traced 3 more wires that were aftermarket and removed them. They controlled equipment that no longer is installed in the vehicle. 2, The Police Dept installed a 7 pin trailer light hookup. This could explain the fuse box wiring. 3, the headlight 30 amp fuse socket...

1 item to note, the engine would not start until 2 batteries were hooked up in series. That gave me the impression that the starter motor is still 24volt.

@Warthog, my wiring is consistent with the labeled wires in the two pictures you posted. Also I checked my bottom fuse on the fuse box and it appears to be fine, although I did check the voltage with a batter tester(basically an analog volt meter) and it reads about 12volts. I PM'ed you the...

@Warthog, I grew up/live near the Dallas-Ft Worth area. I love it here! Whats it like in OK City? I'm going to go take those pictures.

UPDATE 1, This evening I installed the passenger alternator. Both alternators are now installed and connected. 2, Both GEN lights come on now when the key is in the on position. When I push the key over to start, the GEN 2 light stays on, but is dim. Once the engine starts, the GEN1 light...

The unknown "extra" black wire goes into terminal 2 in the pic. The large red 8 guage hot wire for the driver's side alt is currently going into the terminal 1 in the pic, I wanted to double check with ya'll to make sure this was correct. Just got my other Alternator in the mail, time to get...

Thanks to everyone who posted pictures and descriptions, all the info in this thread helped me out quite a bit today. I got the driver's side alternator hooked up and all the wires for both alternators ready with new connectors. Didn't realize how long it would take until the sun set and I...

I have them saved on my computer. Didn't realize they had the schematics located in the back. That is helpful, but a little beyond me. I will post back if I'm still at an impasse in a few days. Thanks for the heads up! I'm really just trying to get this vehicle running before I leave for BCT in...

I realized that this might be a better location for it and deleted my other/duplicate post just after re-posting it here. Wasn't trying to cross-post.

Hi, I've been lurking on this forum ever since I bought a 1985 M1009 that the Grand Saline TX PD used for an unknown amount of time. All I know is that in 2007ish they parked the vehicle. About 4 months ago a private individual bought the vehicle from the police department. Shortly after, he...
