I just wanted to say thanks again to everyone for the help. I got the M1009 unloaded then pulled and dropped the batteries off at the Parts store to be charged. Hopefully I'll get some time tomorrow to start really going through it. For my first ebay car purchase and MV recovery I defiantly...

Well I couldn't get it to start so I just threw in the towel and got a Uhaul and Trailer and towed it home. I got in around 5am this morning. The Tow company wanted $900 to tow it 300 miles, the uhaul was only $425 plus about $125 in gas. It made it 900 miles at least. I think next time I'm just...

got it wired up and the pump is working fine but the truck just wouldn't fire I had 4 tries before the batteries started to drain. I guess I'm going to see if a tow company about 2 miles down the road might come try to jump start me.

Never mind I actually started using my head and pulled the fuse block diagram from the FAQ section. I think my brain was just over heating, lol.

So far all is well. i have everything hooked up just need to wire in the switch. What is the best place to pull 12v from under the dash. I'm taking a break to cool off right now had to walk about 6 miles round trip to get the parts I needed so I'm good and sunburned and overheating after...

I'm just about to go start checking everything out this morning. Thanks for the advice on the fuel pump. I'll post what I find out.

Basically there is not much I can do tonight so I just walked down the road to a motel to chill out and regroup. I'm going to hump it to the local autozone about a 1.6 miles away tomorrow and get a few tools and check everything out. NDT I agree with you that since it died when I pulled in that...

I'm pretty sure there is fuel. The gauge matches the miles driven. there should be about 10gal. The wait light had not come on at all since I picked it up and the previous owner installed a push button starter so there is no telling what was messed with. I believe I probably have a glow plug...

Well Now I'm stuck. Due to the "hard to start" issue, I've have not turned the truck off since I posted last. Well, I just pulled over to get some food and fuel and it died as I turned into the parking lot and won't start. I'm 2 miles from the nearest part store with no tools. GREAT. I had...

So far I just got finished getting a few hours sleep just south of Harrisburg PA. About to get some food and hit the road again. The wiring on this thing is definatly a mess. No dash lights or turn signals and its been kinda hard to start but so far I'm still moving. Driving through NY for the...

I'm currently in the process of recovering my new M1009. So far it has been an adventure but no problems. I purchased it on ebay for $1625 and hopefully I'll only have $400-$500 in the recovery. I live in Nashville TN and the M1009 was in Manchester NH so I had to fly into Boston and the guy...
