I think I am going to go with the ac's. I just pulled the 5 bad ones out and 2 are already begining to swell. The old ones are delcos and they where in the truck when I got it and a year of me owning it and not one showed any sign of swelling.

I had autolight 1110s in it. I am going to see if advance auto will warranty them out and if not I am going with the ac delcos. The ac's are cheaper then the autolights anyway.

Just got home and ohmed them out and 5 out of 8 are no good. I checked all my old ones and all 8 are bad. Thanks for all the help, rob

I haven't compaired it to the Rosscommon way but I think it is the way its wired. Gps are one wire to ground and the other to a momentary contact switch. I don't think it is a fuel issue as there is lots of smoke and smell of diesel. I have looked at sticky right after I.got the truck. I will...

Not what I wanted to hear. I guess I will go get new plugs. As for the old ones is there a way to bench test? Put power and ground and mesure temp?

The starter spins it quick. It was replaced about 6 months ago. It cranks for about 10 minutes on and off to not burn up the starter. I am leaning towards glow plugs but I replaced them about 5 weeks ago. As for if the system works corectly it has a push button from the previous owner. They have...

Ok I forgot to mention I had them tested last week and both are good. I checked for bad cables and replaced the one that I had found bad I replaced. I don't have the truck with me right this second to look at the fuel switch so sorry if this is a stupid question but what am I checking for...

I have had my 1009 for about a year and a half. It has never started well but over the last 2 or so months it has been getting worse. I am in upstate ny and it started great at 70* then at 60 it had some issues, at 50 it wouldn't start anymore. I put new glow plugs in it and it got better for a...

Welcome. I am new also from east greenbush ny (just outside Albany).

Thank you. I had a fealing it was going to be something along those lines.

Hi I just got my m1009 on Monday and I am hoping someone can tell me what "NFOKQL" IS. its painted on everything. It's on the doors, hood, rad support. I am just trying to find any history of the truck . Thanks, rob

Well I found one about 80 mi away. It's a little rougher than I was looking for but it was alot less than I was looking to spend ($1700) and the seller is delivering it. It needs the typical rocker work and tailgate. Glass is missing from tailgate. My biggest spot that I am worrying about is...

I would but then its just as hard to park at Walmart. Parking my f350 ext cab 8' box is the worst part of it. Looking for something easyer to drive everyday.

HI I am new here and new to former military vehicles. I currently own a 94.5 powerstroke lifted on hmmwv 37s and I get 17 mpg with a 100hp chip. It is just a pain to drive everyday so I am looking to get a M1009 as a daily driver. I love driving my wifes bronco (9" lift on hmmwv 36s) but it...
