    1st CUCV, 1985 M1009 New to site and testing

    Bypassed the resistors, added a Momentary On to ground the relay and Bam she fires right up after about a 10 sec push! Good feeling knowing the GPs work - which I didn't know since the gp control module is missing. Now this M1009 has a push button to throw juice to the starter. Does that...

    Okay, I'm a bit confused with the best way to use the push button for the gp relay/solenoid. First we're running an 8ga wire fromt he battery to the 'blue-wired' post on the relay, bypassing the resistors. For the gp control module bypass (which is missing) momentary On button modification...

    Dadgummit I read that. Won't happen again Warthog. RollTide12- Don't know that anything is wrong with the existing one, (your test should help answer that) but I thought I read on here where when routing around the resistors with 12v its a good idea to replace or rebuild the existing relay...

    Roll Tide: Roll Tide - we're in Springville. Anyway, thanks, good method to test. I am actually replacing the relay anyway because I'm planning to disconnect the gp resistors and pull an 8ga wire from 12v battery to the relay. From what I've read its a good idea to replace it anyway when...

    Okay, thanks NewBee! We may just add a bypass push button. I did find the part (#12496078) for $91 but whatever led to the previous owner to remove the card may happen again, may not... so I'm leary to simply buy and install it. Any recommendations on which button to buy? Would a simple...

    I think we fixed the ground problems and now a few other electric things work. But still the Wait lamp does not come on. So in case the lmap was bad we turned the key to On, waited 30 sec then turned to Start and hit the push button. The started and motor turned but it didn't start. So I'm...

    Thanks!! Tons of great reading on here. The previous owner bought it to set on 1 ton axles to convert to a rock crawler from his K5 gas burner but quickly became scared of the glow plugs and that so I get it as it still sites. Body in great shape and no rust. Color is horrible green, someone...
