What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

[cpf240]

Are the batteries connected correctly? Assuming the truck is still wired for 24v, then they should be in series, not parallel. If the starter is getting only 12v when it is expecting 24v, that might make it turn the engine over slowly.

You'll get better help if you start a thread about your particular problem instead of just jumping into the first thread you see.


I would point you to the thread on how to start a new thread, which is located in the "Forum Tips and Tricks" section, but I see that section has become completely useless because of all the idiots posting general technical questions there!


So go to the forum home page and look near the top left for the BIG "POST NEW THREAD" button. It's not hard to see.

Yes. The batteries are sending the 24 volts to the starter. The truck has run well until I had it parked for about the last 3 weeks. Now I have been unable to crank it the last 3 days. I have done nothing to it since I parked it 3 weeks ago.

Thanks for the hospitality!

Today after worship we all set out with 3 CUCV's and did some fence removal work. this fence line has been a Pain in the behind for years. With the trailer and the CUCV's we removed a 1/2 mile and it took all day. We did get a little time to play and get stuck. the trailer was the hold back on the dirt pile. After I removed the trailer I launched over the dirt piles. Clevises banging and my Son's video taped it. This M1009 has my rear window protector on the gate. I made it to have the outer brush seal and the inner rubber hide a glass seal. It works well. I want to clean and reorganize the back of my Crown of Thorns M1009. I have had a few calls on it as i have it listed for sale. It is a great ranch/farm vehicle and fun to drive a Rausch Creek.

We used the CUCV's to pull fence and fence posts. My Crusty the highly modified hot rodding CUCV caught a case of Mad Cow Disease and returned to wallow in the mud. His days of pounding the pavement were boring and uneventful. But we had a great time. I ran the CUCV's hard like always and nothing broke. Maybe a few people pride. But if you can't run withe the big cows/bulls stay in the barn. Happy Labor day.

After the entire afternoon of working on the fence line we all went back to the barn and I changed the oil on the Crown of Thorns M1009. This is the oil and filters I bought for $7. with all my loyalty points. Great deal. I have a question. Does 7754 engine hours make sense if the truck has 125K on it? I think it sounds right. Anyone else have any thoughts? Happy Labor day.

A good strong battery wouldn't drop its charge in just three short weeks would it?

No, there must be some "parasitic" drain somewhere.

Sounds like your having too much fun on the "Sabbath" ! Just kidding ! My aunt was a "die-hard" Pentecostal and any work or "inappropriate" Fun was not allowed on Sunday ! I always took the Lords command to rest on the Sabbath to mean rest the mind also. So having fun is OK !

In the process of replacing the front clip of my recently acquired 86 M1009, looks like it may have shot off in the woods and hit a tree. No frame damage, all sheet metal damage.

The good news is:

- Your engine will run a whole lot cooler now.

Oil and filter again.I also changed fuel filter. Installed new steering stabilizer. Also new Bosch injectors truck runs better than ever.Courtesy of Fred at badger diesel, Great customer service, he is also going to test the new Delphi injectors I purchased from him 6 months ago that acted up and either refund or replace.Also ordered the ORD sway bar correction /disconnect kit in anticipation of a minor lift in order to run 295 x 75 x16 on the 1009.

Changed oil and filter. Nasty black oil, but no metal shavings.

That's always the first step for sure, joshuak; nice rig.

What's the plan:

Thank you for the compliment. The plan is to make it a safe and reliable vehicle and enjoy it. It needs work, but that's why I bought it!

It ALL belongs to momma, I just get to play with it.

Funny story about that: in case she needed/wanted it, I gave her spare key for the Blazer, turns out, it opens the doors but won't start the ignition, she still thinks it was a set up.

Yeah, like it wasn't (your secret is safe here). That was slick though, I got to hand it to you!

What about the Delphi injectors?
How were they acting up?
