Thanks a bunch! I'm pretty sure the heater itself is still good, because I can hear it trying to fire when I hold the toggle switch in the start position. I don't hear the fuel pumping though. As you probably know, they are on different sides of the engine well and it's to tell by ear which is...

Hi All, I have a M1009 with an arctic heating kit that includes two heaters under the hood, one for the coolant/oil (I believe), and one for the batteries and cab. The coolant/oil heater was disconnected when I got it, but the battery/cab heater worked fine. The fuel pump on the driver side...

Sorry porkysplace. The new thread last night was done in exasperation. So im gonna drop the tank I suppose. Is it a pain to do? And on the sock, is it something I can clean and reuse, or should I pick one up when I get the new straps?

Thanks guys. To answer your questions. It's a new box filter, new lift pump. The tank is full of fuel. Cucvlover, I don't know about a small clear filter. Are you talking about doing a spin on mod? if the filter base turns out to be the problem, I plan on doing the mod. I think my plan of attack...

I can't figure out what the heck is going on! My m1009 will start on the first crank and run forever at idle or when i rev the motor when it is sitting still. But when I take it for a test drive, I take a left out of my driveway, go 200 yards and take a right, go 100 years and take another...

This is one I haven't found on here yet. The truck will start and run when sitting still, just a faint surge every once in a while. I can even push the throttle for extended periods, no problem. But as soon as I take it for a drive, it starts surging and stalling. After it stalls it takes a...

Thanks guys. I FINALLY got her running. I think I need to test the other alternator because the needle is in the yellow. I'll do that over the weekend. New problem though... she idles just fine for long periods, drives straight just fine, but when I go to make a turn on the road she just dies...

Sorry y'all. I got lucky and guessed that it was a capacitor (don't know a thing about electricity). Anyway, I searched that, and I found my answer. Sorry for jumping the gun and clogging up the forum.

So I just bought an alternator from a pick and pull. I know the truck was an m1008, but by the time I found it, it only had one alternator..the passenger side (although my understanding is that it doesn't matter, they are both the same). Anyway, I got the thing home, I noticed that there is a...

Thank you fellas, CUCVRUS, I PM'd you about the crossover pipe and thanks for the alt info. TOW4, Thanks for the info. I'm gonna attempt it.

Greetings, i have been working to replace the passenger side head gasket on my m1009. I am not a very good mechanic, but I certainly rely on this site and the TM's for help every step of every job. Being a poor mechanic, I have torqued the crossover pipe too much and broken it at the mounting...

I'm a novice, for sure, but I've just finished replacing the passenger side head gasket because I broke the glow plug nearest the firewall. Everything was going relatively smoothly until I tried to hook the batteries back up. I took pictures of the bus bar before I disassembled it, and...

Thanks to both of you. Warthog... I'm not sure exactly what you mean by glowplugs kicking in for the afterglow, or watch the glowplug operation sticky. Does this mean that the relay is sticking? Your reply seems like the plausible solution. Could you expand, please? I'm new to working on...

I have an '85 M1009. It starts just fine after replacing the fuel sensor switch a few weeks ago, however now when I start it and watch the voltmeter, it goes straight up to mid-green for a few seconds and then I hear a click from the dashboard and the needle goes down into the yellow for a few...

I have an 85 CUCV that was rough starting. After scouring this forum and eliminating options, I came to the conclusion that the o-ring on my fuel sensor switch was bad. I ordered a new sensor switch, but it was a different and newer version. The new switch either 1) didn't come with a new o-ring...

Wondering if this works.
