I have a M1008 sitting in front of my house right now that will not start. When I turn the key I only get a click. As soon as I am finished typing this I am pulling the starter and hoping for a loose connection or ground. I've traced all the cables and read here and the TM's. Not allot of help coming from this forum for what should be a simple problem.
Thank God my truck broke down at home. I use it for hauling firewood and hunting. Breaking down in the winter could be life threatening. If my starter is bad I will be doing the Roscommon conversion next weekend, the first day of bow season I practiced for all year. I asked about alternators a few weeks ago and only got rebuild is the answer or a $220 Wilson from NAPA.
Why, not because it is better, but because I can get all the parts at almost any parts store. A 26 year old vehicle is going to break. Fixing it should not be so complicated. I appreciate you guys trying to preserve these vehicles, so if I convert mine to 12 volts I will make sure I can convert it back.
Breaking down for almost no reason is not acceptable. No, I do not want a new truck. I will make it a gasser first. Hope I don't need to.
EDIT- I just responded to a several year old thread I found using the search engine...way to go!
