So, you don't know what a starter looks like and you just got under the truck and started hitting stuff? TM's are listed on the site.

Yes the starter is on the right side. You most likely have a bad starter relay under the dash do the Dog Head modification. Put the gear shift selector, thats the chrome thing on the right side of the steering column, in neutral to see if your neutral safety switch/sensor is out of adjustment. Also you could hold the gear selector up into park as well to check it for adjustment.

Please make sure the batteries are fully charged. Remove battery cables, clean cable ends and battery posts with a wire brush. Clean ground cable to frame.

And remember the first rule of owning a CUCV. If its rubber replace it, if its electrical clean it.

You should probly see if its getting any power to the starter. If ya have a power tester of sum sort, get under there and see if its getting anything. Or find the selinoid ( I think you got one on the firewall) for the starter. Turn the key and listen for it.

:lol::lol::lol: :ditto:

That is so true, when I bought my M1009 the tires had full tread, but were dry rotted and had dead spots from sitting for years in a field.
