Ah, CUCVs and electricity the two should never have been mixed.
Anyway yesterday I went down to look over my 'new' M1009 down in Lebanon MO. The site employees were fantastic, and offered their 1008 for a jump but also offered to help get the old girl running! If you ever have a choice these guys are great.
But we found an odd quirk, in my M1009.
We had their CUCV hooked to mine via slave cable. My truck turned over so then we quit and added fluids while the engine was cool.
Then we added two rebuilt and recharged 6-TN batteries. Hooked them up... and nothing!
Which seemed odd since everything worked before. So we unhooked the batteries and re-attached the slave cable, and got the truck to turn over. It almost started.
After that we reattached the batteries, and I haven't gotten anything out of the old girl since. Everything quit. There are no dash lights or indicators (they worked before) and no clicking or humming sounds. Turning the key gets no response, like the batteries are dead or missing.
I'm hoping that something vibrated loose, But I was going to hedge my bets and also get new a starter relay and glowplug relay, just for the heck of it (both are old).
Any other thoughts? I'm still new enough to the maintenance manuals to get lost easily
