RE: 12 vs 24?
The connection from the Pos Term ( TM-9-2320-289-20) F-1 to the resistor bank is 24v , resistor converts 24v to 12v, out resistor bank to glow plug controller is 12v.. 12v to the solenoid closes circuit 12v to the glow plugs.. OK sounds good BUT, the resistor still allow +12v at...
The alt are rated at 100Amps , ("Marketing label", they will produce 100Amps for a short time , and high amperage usage of 60+amps will burn the alts out).. If your looking a 500w amp at 12v = 500/12 = 41.6 amps .. I currently have x2 m1009's , x1 is a 1 off genset in the build and the other...
I rewired the whole electrical system on my m1009 converted to a WVO genset in progress. You can rewire to x2 isolated 12v systems , and ditch the 24v starter & convert to 12v starter. This also allows you to remove the 24v to 12v step down resistors for the glow plugs . Both alts can also be...
Nice setup, I was just out in Denver x2 weeks ago . Had a little fun at carobou 4wd trail(Roosevelt National Forest)with a rental dodge c1500 hemi 4x4 . The m1009 would be a great ride to play in the mountains.
if all origanal , ou already have x2 temp switches . one on each side of the head . 1 on the passenger side for the injector pump and 1 on drivers side for the idoit guage. In my setup , since the m1009 isn't being used as a vehicle any more , but a power plant. I have mech temps in both to...
ok 84cucv,
If your feeling the glow plugs are heating try checking the fuel shutoff switch voltage.. diesel smell may be from fuel left in the injector lines, but fuel shutoff switch is still closed. Follow the pink (10awg I think) wire to the I/P . Turn key on , check with a voltmeter DC...
rizzo,
you have to heat the svo or wvo to 165F so it will flow .. wvo/svo needs to be filtered at least 600 micron's .. see fattywagon.com or search the web lots of info . My 6.2l wvo generator project is being built as follows: heated injector lines, fluid heated fuel lines, fluid & 12v...
Ga title codes are 86 & newer require title .... So if your buying a 84 or 85 , your paid invoice should act as your bill of sale ,allowing you to register it for a tag . This is from the Ga DMVS
recovry4x4 ... good job on the bio diesel .. Europe has been running B20 for years (20%) Biodiesel it basically the standard..
I'm currently building an cutup m1009 6.2L engine drive train to run on WVO or SVO . We're currently dealing with the area renders on bulk purchases.
As for the...
