Little hard to tell from the photo for sure but I am pretty sure it has not been converted, The resister is still thre in the back with wires running to and from it so Im 99.999% sure.

It may also be air getting into the fuel line. I had that problem on mine due to a small leak in one of the rubber fuel lines after it sat for a few hours of sitting it became very difficult to start but would start just fine when it sat only for an hour. Some people end up with a worst leak and...

The M1009 can be a very reliable vehicle for the most part, but it is a 25 year old truck. It will develop problems (assuming it does not have any currently) fortunately most should be relatively simple fixes. Parts are not too bad in price as most are stock Chevy parts except for when it comes...

Thats kind of cool looking. I've never taken a relay aprt before, you would not happen to have a picture of the doghead relay taken apart to compare it to?

@Cyclejay I understand what your doing and I say go for it. I very much get the idea of not wanting to permanently alter a classic vehicle as I myself have similar feelings. Now In my personal opinion you may be taking it a little far, but of course your truck your choice. If you want an easy...

As far as I know there is not a way to tell if it has rolled over, but I would actually bet that the mileage your truck shows is its actual mileage. In my experience most military tucks tend to be used just to drive around base. For example at work we have a 2002 F350 as our primary vehicle that...

Well I ended up deciding to just grind a bit of the shackles to get them to fit properly, as they were the proper weight rating and even if they where suppose to be for a trailer since I don't own one they'd be useless to me any way and I would not have to buy new ones. I got them and the pins...

I am also in Montana and made it through the winter without using my block heater, or additives, but I'll admit it sometimes took 5-8 seconds of cranking on the coldest days. @ M1008driver, How much dose that diesel treat seem to help with starting on those very cold days. Also are you the...

I've been over 90 before though between the speedometer only showing up to 85 and the needle bouncing around alot I could not tell how much faster

I really like that headliner might have to think about getting one

I would have figured they all used the same shackled to save money, but then again that would make sense and in my experience the government always seems to be against that idea. What’s the proper weight rating for CUCV shackles?

Cleaned up some electrical connections and replaced some rubber fuel lines getting my M1009 back up and running properly. Also finally went out and bought some pins and painted them for the shackles i got with the truck when I bought. Unfortunately I never did bother to check to see if the...

So what would happen if there was a buildup of pressure on the IP, and why not just build an IP that could take the pressure.

Well after like two weeks of aua trying to figure out what is wrong with my glow plug system in my M1009 causing it not to start when cold, I was looking through the forums and learned it could be a small air leak into the fuel line. Using some clear tubing off the IP like some people suggested...

Well I was thinking that since most of the major cities in Montana should have car shows that would be a logical place to meet up at so we can show off our vehicles as well enjoy the sights another idea would be an air show though there is only one this year and happens to be where I am living...

Not sure if they are part of the forums but I have seen at least two other people in Great Falls MT with M1009's driving around. I also know that there is Montana military vehical club some where in MT. I think it would be cool to get a large group together. If you need on suggestions where to...

I think it is bad because even when its 45 degrees out It takes a hell of alot of cranking before it starts. While I only checked 2 of the glow plugs two weeks ago, they were both good and the whole set is only a month old but i can check them again tommorow. I can also here the glow plug relay...

I had mine get stuck on me last week. Lucky for me I had read about the relay's geting stuck on these fourms prior so when it happened I knew exactly what was happening. I poped the hood and disconected that battery as fast as I could, which again I was lucky to have my socket set sitting on the...

I beleive that the ballast resistor is fried on my M1009. Right now its a little to late to actually go and verifiy that its bad but I'll do that tommorow. Asuming that it is bad I was wondering were could I get a new one? This leads me to my second question that is is there a master listing of...

Well I am new here but i guess this means i have to make some adjustments and or replace some vacuum lines as i have never had it shift to 2nd under 36 or 37 mph and i have only seen 3rd at 55 mph but I very rarely travel over 45 to be compleatly sure. I do admit that i was up to atleast 95 mph...
