    Been sittin' awhile- How to start?

    Looks like mine has a 4ga wire going from front battery to (-) bus. Also has a 12-14ga wire going from same terminal to the body of the truck.. Seems like it needs a bigger wire going to the chassis, but i haven't seen if the (-) bus goes to the engine or chassis anywhere. J

    Been sittin' awhile- How to start?

    no air bubbles where? Where should I be looking for the pure fuel? I just finished installing the starter. Had to "fabricate" (read: decimate) the bracket to fit the 12V starter. It felt good to have it in there so solid, though.. Now I just have to fabricate some battery cables. The (-)...

    Been sittin' awhile- How to start?

    Thanks for all the advice guys. I'm really a novice so this is all golden to me. I parked it 18 months ago when one of my batteries failed. It was in the middle of cranking (had been daily driver up to then) and it just died right in the middle of a crank. I tried to diagnose the problem-...

    Been sittin' awhile- How to start?

    Besides lots of prayer, of course. This truck has been sitting for probably 18 months. What are the standard jobs to do? I'm expecting to hear alot about fuel filters and such. Thanks, J

    Help!! Cucv will not start

    Why does this have to be the case? The bracket that is. Is that how the starter is grounded? Does it not get a good enough ground from the 2 big bolts that go into the engine block? Thanks, J

    starter relay issues

    Got a product recommendation? I might be interested in a new relay since I'm going through the 12V conversion. J ps, I've been away awhile, but I like the new site.

    Gen 1 light

    will do. But I wonder if it might be a fuse or relay do to the fact that I had no problems before, and the problem was abrupt while starting- rather than running. The batteries seem to fine, but I'll check that too. J

    Gen 1 light

    bump this thread. This sounds similar to my problem(s): A few months ago my m1009 was my daily driver. Then, I was starting it trying to get home from work, the starter turned for about 0.8 seconds and completely/abruptly died. Backstory: I installed my own push-button (actually...

    Tire shopping

    ok, thanks for all the help with this guys. Given my planned use for these tires I have pretty much decided to go with the BFGs. Now my question is this, 10.50s or 12.50s (I'll be doing 33in diameter). I just talked to a guy down the street with a rig much better than mine that seems to...
