There are some for sale in near Louisville, KY. I saw them about a week ago.

A neighbor said that he had some military stuff that was given to him and wondered if I wanted it to go with my army truck. Never being one to turn down free stuff, when I got home tonight on my porch were two 5 gallon jerry cans and some kinda power unit thing. What in the world is a...

fuel filter sounds like what mine did for awhile. I changed out the fuel filter to a spin on, no problems since. If you think it might be that, bypass the filter you have now and see if it helps. The other thing that worked on mine before I changed the filter was make sure the tank is...

I did notice after the smoke that the wire was up against the engine. If I spilled a little diesel, maybe that led to the short. I guess I now need to replace that particular wire. Is that part something Napa would be able to get? I have never messed with the glow plugs, how hard is that...

So, I completed the fuel filter replacement today on my M1009. Switched to a Napa spin on thanks to the instructions provided by other SS readers. Works great. Started right up, no leaks, no problems. Turned the truck off and went on to other tasks. The wife got home, asked what I had...

I have noticed that some of the folks that replace the original with a spin on, only have in the inlet and the outlet. If it is a tank return ( which makes sense) how do I deal with this?

I need an explanation or direction to where I might find this info about the fuel filter on my M1009. There are three hoses on the filter. One coming up from the bottom is the inlet. Why are there two on the right? Obviously one is the outlet, what is the other? I am sure there is a simple...

Checking battery cells How do you check each cell? I put distilled water in each (they were a little low). Is there something else?

M1009 wont' start. Batteries are dead and won't hold a charge. They are TL6 tagged "new Feb 07". Is that about their life? I looked into replacing them today. The local Interstate warehouse does not stock them, so they don't have blemished ones. The only place in town that I found a TL6...

doors My M1009 has doors with data plates from a M1010. I think they just make due with what they have laying around sometimes.

radio mount where in Indiana are you?

black out light switches Sometimes the blackout switches act up.

Muldraugh, KY Any other details on that Muldraugh, KY salvage yard?

Seems like you could get a heavy duty power inverter and power the items you are talking about. Try DC Power Supplies for Manufacturing, Laboratory, and Testing Applications | Tripp Lite
