    M1009 Won't Start Suddenly and Melted Battery Post

    The wife does work today, so not as much time as I thought watching the kids. No time or second set of hands for the WD -40 boost. I found the new glow plugs, the extra fuel filter, and the spare box of fuses. I pulled every fuse and checked it. There were several that were very old, but only...

    M1009 Won't Start Suddenly and Melted Battery Post

    No time tonight, but tomorrow I am going to put on the new fuel filter and check the fuel pump while I'm there. I'll also check the fuse box, again, just to be sure. Then I'll try the WD-40 thing. I have a new set of glow plugs I picked up years ago still in new packaging, just in case. I'd...

    M1009 Won't Start Suddenly and Melted Battery Post

    OK, got some time today and am more confused. Picked up a new battery, made sure it had 900 cranking amps. Made sure it was charged. Wired it up. The light blue was already slightly exposed from before, so I alligator clipped it and ran it to a ground I use for the working cb. I heard something...

    M1009 Won't Start Suddenly and Melted Battery Post

    There were two mods suggested, dog head and another, one under the hood on the firewall, another under the dash. I did both. The glow plug switch was that thing in the TM where the wires plug into the engine, back driver side. Does that go bad? I had an issue four years ago with that card in...

    After looking up the glow plug module bypass instructions, that looks easier than the -20 TM. What is a good modern compatible part # for the glow plug switch under the hood?

    I was reading some other posts where folks molded their own new post. So, I screwed in a small one inch screw into the lead where the post is missing, attached a charger and it is taking a charge! Cool. Question is how thick is that lead on top of the battery? And the no start bit. Glow plugs?

    M1009 Won't Start Suddenly and Melted Battery Post

    I left my M1009 sit for a few weeks in the Oregon rain. I got in to move it so I could attach a new fan inside. It started the usual way, had to crank it three or four times, using glow plugs, but it got going. Nothing strange or unusual. I drove it fifty feet to my garage, turned it off, and...

    m1009 cucv won't start

    OK, finally got some time and changed the GL relay back to the other one....and no luck. Turns over, white smoke, no wait light. I ground the blue wire and the WTS light comes on....I wait 20 seconds, but the GP relay doesn't click and the truck doesn't start. I am at a loss. Did I get the...

    m1009 cucv won't start

    OK, I finally got some more time. Got home, tried to start, no luck. Pulled out the GP control module to erase it, and realize there is no cap to it. Oh, well. Looks worn, but not too bad. Maybe I'll drop some solder on the worn contacts later on. I lulled out the training manual -20 and...

    m1009 cucv won't start

    Shoot - it was the ground on the front battery, now that I look. I ran an 8 gauge ground from there into the cab to run various electronics a couple of months ago....I knew I did it right, but I was thinking the rear lost of the front battery.... Anyway....I will pull the card and erase the...

    m1009 cucv won't start

    OK, baby sleeping. Dog head relay mod used Napa part # 7-01860-1. GP relay mod used was GPR109, purchased at Napa. Got the m1009 started tonight. I shaved the light blue wire going into the GP controller. Hooked up a aligator clip wire to the light blue shaved wire. Other end was also...

    Shoot - sorry - you're right. Same thing, though....same one in the pic. In the guide. North West one. It replaced an old black plastic*one. You guys have good info. I just hate training manuals...
