Got her running good, turned her off to change a brake line, and now she has no power, no headlights, no interior lights nothing at the ignition. The battery is good an fully charged. Its acting the battery is not even installed. Everything is tightened??????/? Where do i start?

Am I correct in believe that in order to bypass the ammeter, you simply take the black and red wire off the back of the gauge and splice them together?

Ok, replaced the starter yesterday on my m1009. replaced the burnt ground wire from the front negative battery terminal to the body. now when I attempt to re-connect the battery the starter engages. What did I miss? Is the ignition gone bad, the doghead gone bad. Any advise would be deeply...

Ok, I know my starter is bad, but what would cause the 10 gauge wire that goes from the front battery negative battery cable to the body to burn up while starting the truck?:tank:

My starter started dragging and then the ground wire (10 gauge) going from the front negative battery cable to the truck body burned up. A mechanic friend told me that the windings inside the starter have possible become damaged and is grounding out the system. Anyways, my CUCV M1009 is...

Have a loose alt belt, if its even slightly damp out it squeals. I have tightened it, but im guessing its time for a replacement. Once the truck warms up everything seems fine. Today however I noticed that turning corners or slowing down the GEN 2 light flickers momentarily. Is this a sign that...

Is there a way to tell the difference between silicone and regular DOT brake fluid? While I know there's controversy as to which is better, but I also know they can't be mixed.auaaua

Roboskid and I spent the morning at our favorite junkyard, gathering treasures for our M1009s. We then proceeded to Hyatt HQ to install these goodies. In the process of putting on the parts, Mother Nature decided it would be awesome to rain on the parade so to speak. Well what do two Army...

voltage meter issue My voltage indicator only shows in the yellow, and does not move much when the M1009 is started. Another issue is it constantly reads, even when the key is removed. The voltage meter only drops when the batteries are disconnected. I also have no dash lights, speedo...

M1009 charging problem, Ok here's what I know, the batteries are not that old but have went bad, the alternators were tested and are good. Any ideas? When jumped (slaved) the truck starts immeadiately and there are no lights warning lights on. the headlights appear dim and the turn signals...
