Went out to run the M1009 last night, I hit the lights and nothing. No headlights brakes turns or horn. It is like the black out switch is thrown. The problem is that previous owner removed the black out switches and lights but it looks like the harness is still there. I have checked fuses...
Did the 12 volt conversion on my glow plugs. Added the headlight relay harness and Sylvania Silver Stars 100% better. Replaced the rear end yoke which took care of my vibration at 25-35mph. Discovered that I am 95% sure that my glow plug card is causing them to constantly cycle on/off while...
Search question. The old search had a option to show the results threads or posts with the search items in it. The new just shows threads. Is there a way to see the individual posts with your search terms in them instead of digging through the threads, like on the old site? Thanks Guys.
I just got done adjusting my governor. Closed up the cover and when I tried to start set for a test run it tried to turn over for a split second to turn over then nothing no DC at all. No pumps no panel lights. Let it set for a few minutes turn it to prime the pumps would run on both settings...

My MEP-002A powered a friends house for 30 hours and then a Wildlife Hospital/Shelter for about 10 minutes till their power came back on. Their reaction when I pulled in with it was worth the 45 min drive. I just told them I had a generator for them to use I think they thought it was another...
Could it be re-purposed to hold extension cords or with electrical cable? Even if you couldn't wire the reel live it could help store your cords. PM me if you don't want it.
So..this maybe totally not doable but...Could you put a M1008 rear bumper on a M1009? That would give you the stronger bumper would it not?
This wouldn't fix the rear end gearing or trans cooling but keep the bumper from pulling apart. I don't have anything to look at to compare the two...
