The majority of my issues were caused by my rodent friends chewing around the fuse box. If you suspect rodents it wouldn't hurt to check around there. Apparently that big clump of wires is appetizing to mice.
I have had my m1009 for about half a year now and I have been slowly working on it trying to get it in condition to pass inspection (last inspected in 2008 ). This truck had been working on our ranch for about 4 years and has always been a good dependable truck but, it has always had a large...
Warthog,
I like your idea on pressurizing the tank could you expound on how you go about doing it?
soule64,
You wouldn't happen to have the part number on that vacuum pump would you?
I like having a mechanical fuel pump but it just makes me cringe having to ride my starter to prime the fuel...
I know this sounds stupid and more than likely you did it right but, when you bled the air from the fuel filter you did it from the top of the filter right?
When I first got my m1009 I kept draining the bottom of the filter wondering why the truck wouldn't start. :roll:
If you had it in 4wd then yes. The front axle is open and after traction is lost only one tire will spin at a time. However it is possible that one of the front tires started to spin then grabbed allowing the other front tire to spin.
Yes the TM has the part # as 25004140. I have tried my local auto part stores and the guys behind the counters are clueless as to how to find the right part let alone even know what a CUCV is.
Google has a lot of threads about the part # but they all seem to be a dead end in finding out where...
Needing to order a fuel sending unit for a M1009 (stock 27 gallon tank). Auto zone and napa have three options to choose from along with every online store. Can anyone provide a link to order the exact unit I need?

Don't bother picking up another diff cover. If the plug doesnt come off just fill it up through the vent. It is alittle time consuming but it gets the job done.
Good news everyone!
We found the problem after some probing around under the hood. After checking the voltage at the terminal box we found that power was making it there. Looking down from there and the problem was plain as day. One of the wires was split in half, it looked like something had...
I found a picture of the fusebox diagram finally. It shows the ignition going off of the 20amp accessory. Is this where I should take my volt readings to see if electricity is entering the cab?
Do you think the starter could still spin if there was a bad connection on one of those terminals? because the headlights and blinkers and such still work, it seems only things in the starting circuit have failed.
I will take a look at this resister and see if it is fried like yours. Unfortunatly I am not going to be able to work on the vehicle untill about a month and I am trying to get as many ideas as I can before I get back to it. Thank you very much for the post. I will get back to yall with the...
I am curious if everything in the start up process was effected by that blown relay? No lights come on the dash when the key is turned forward on mine and I cannot hear the glowplugs cycle. I am sorry for the dumb question but I am not around the vehicle right now.
