Gottlos, thats good news for me on the tires will save money on not buying new rims! haha. just to clarify, the steering box reinforcement should be done if you are running larger than 33" tires? or even with those you should? Cucvnut thanks for the explanation and i was looking at those...

First off I apologize for asking any question that has been addressed, I have read page after page on SS and other websites about lift kits and what people did with their truck, etc. If Im asking an obvious question Im sorry, my head is so numb and I am so confused I really cant seem to make...

Thank you all for the input, and my apologies for not stumbling on this issue where discussed before.

Okay, so my laptop with all my tech manuals on pdf decided to battle liquids and lost miserably, now I am lacking all Tech Manuals for my M1009...I click on the resources link and then Tech Manuals but it never takes me to anything resembling them it takes me to "recent posts"...can anyone...

okay it took me longer to reply to this but i fixed the issue, not sure how but I did, I unscrewed the fuse block checked the connections in the back make sure nothing was arching and put it back on as soon as I did it worked? havent had the problem since...mysterious but hey it fixed it!

Thank you all for the input and help! I fixed the problem!! The driver side alternator which when tested at Advanced Auto and tested good was the problem, not sure why it tested good but when I bought a new one and replaced it, the front battery was charging at at 14.5volts with the engine...

and also if it is the fusable link, than (and im sorry if this is a stupid question) how do I go about repairing/replacing it or them? I have not searched the TM for fusable link yet, so my apology for not previously looking

so Warthog, just to make sure I follow, you think that one of the charging wires/ fuseable links to/from my driver side alternator is bad?

Thanks, yes I have that TM, I will look at it again with a "fresh updated mind" maybe I just overlooked something...I think one of the most confusing things is that if the driver side alternator is suppose to charge the front battery and my front battery is not charging, why would the alternator...

Thanks, yea I've been looking in the TM's its just so freaking confusing. I hate electrical problems...When you say left alternator is that driverside or passenger side?

Okay to start off... when I bought my 84' M1009 the guy before me replaced the driver side alternator with a regular 100Amp from Advanced Auto. The passenger side alternator is still the original. Last week my front battery no longer was being recharged, my first thought was the driver side...

This Post has been great... I have two weeks till I go back to schoolaua, hoping to to rig up a plow, might have to fabricate/ adjust my mount to compensate for the sway bar, but if I get it done I will post pics.

I know this has been discussed to some degree, but not with my specific problems, if anyone has any insight I'd appreciate it alot. The problem I have is my fuse for the lights, in my m1009, melted. I was able to put another fuse in there to drive home from school for Thanksgiving but since...

Okay so winter is soon approaching, i killed two 750CCA civvy batteries last week trying to start my CUCV. I believe I am having a fuel pump issue, or a glow plug issue will check more on it tomorrow. However, not to get side tracked i got two other batteries to start the truck then charged...

I dont, mine had a 2Flu brass one which I needed to replace and I got a 3Flu brass...Aluminum is much cheaper, and cools faster/ keeps cool longer...However, it is much more difficult to repair.
