My M1009 engine was louder until I added a quart of ATF fluid and about a 1/2 pint of Lucas Oil Injector Cleaner to the last fillup. Maybe its because I know I added the extra stuff to the diesel but it does seems quiter now. I also have a civi resonator on mine. It does make a difference. I...

Why, original, what ever are you talking about? Dogbone ??? Everybody knows it is the Doghead starter relay fix. :lol::lol::lol:

I'm not sure that JB weld would hold it. Have you checked with some of the Auto Body Supply store or Auto Body Shop to see what they recommend? I suspect a body panel adhesive would be your best chance of holding the hood skin to the braces. I had the same problem, but knew I was going to...

Wart, Yeah, I read that, I plan on filing/grinding them down. Looks like I will only have to take off .063" (AC60Gs come as .250", the orginals were .187")

After I got the alternator fixed last week and resolved my GEN 2 light, I decided that I would work on a few things. - Yesterday, I did the Doghead starter relay change. I can even hear the relay click when I turn the key. - Today, I did the ressistor bypass for the glow plug relay. This...

I hope your "cheapy" air filter doesn't cost you big $$$ in the future by letting too much dust & dirt into the engine. :wink::wink::wink: Usually, air filters are not something I want to go cheap on.

Had to replace the Power Steering Belt today on my M1009. Is it just me or is the process to replace the power steering belt a pain in the ask? After messing with the power steering pump and bracket for about 20 minutes trying to get the belt on, I printed out a couple of the pages from the TM...

My M1009 is an an '84 model but the data plate on the door post says it was made in 10/83. Just like now when the 2011 vehicles came out. They dodn't 1st appear in Janruary 2011, they started coming out late summer or early fall in 2010.

I just bought one of these this afternoon from O'Reilly Auto Parts. Cost was $9.99 and is the sameone as pictured in the NAPA Pictures. Made by the same company. Here is the URL from O'Riellys - Prime Line 7-01860-1 - Solenoid | O'Reilly Auto Parts

WooHoo !!!! My M1009 us back up and charging correctly. Thanks to Warthog for taking time to help me understand / clarify what I was reading in the the TMs regarding how to test the wiring / Gen lights and alternator. Here is a recap of my problem - - When I turned the key, my GEN 2...

Couple of things after doing some testing - #1 - Back battery was toast. Charged and took to local parts place to load test. Bad. Replaced both batteries. #2 - Per instructions from Warthog, checked the wiring and all appears to be well. #3 - Pull Alternator #2 and took to alternator...

Guys, I hope you have more luck than I in finding the Interstate Group 31s in either Refurbished, 2nds or Blems. I call several local Interstate battery dealers and they said the batteries are just not available around here. One regional dealer told me they had a standing order to get the...

Jon, If you set the engine timing according to the TMs, the mule will run Ok. If you set the timing one tooth off like it is shown on Bill Watson's website the mule will have a lot more pep and run better. a couple of years ago, myself and Chuck (aka Charlie here on this site) took our tools...

You Right, I missed the fact that he wanted to know why the diesel wouldn't run without the electrical system.

It's not the pink wire causing the problems, because he said no cranking. I've been thru the pink wire issue. My M1009 would crank over fine but would not start. Called a CUCV friend who told me to look at the pink wire. I saw that it had come off. Put it back on and it started right up.

Wreckerman, we're only about 35 miles the way the crow flies from you and I have never heard of this. We run "offroad" in 2 farm tractors, 2 mowers and the dozer. I have never had to sign anywhere when I buy the off road red stuff. My old truck carries a 100gal fuel tank full of the stuff.

Been there, done that & I have a teeshirt too. March will be 2 years ago that I got a ticket in my M1009. I was running 51 in a 35 mph zone. A young city Cop gave me a ticket. I was in my OD M1009, wearing my OD flight jacket, headed to a gunshow. I cost me $140. And yes, I was carrying. :lol::lol:

Yesterday I jumped in the M1009 for the 1st time in about a month. When I went to start it, the GEN 2 light did not lightup during the GP cycle. After I started it the GEN 2 light had a faint glow. The voltage gauge never made it out of the yellow. When I rev'd the engine the GEN 2 light didn't...

If I get the M1009 out on an extended drive I always wear the soft foam earplugs to prevent ear damage. I usually get the soft flesh colored foam ones from Walley world. This might be an option for your "non headphone ear". It would be easy to pull out if pulled over.

Take it apart, clean everything up to remove the rust. If only surface rust, you will be fine putting it back together after cleaning and repacking. If rusted beyond repair, post what parts you need. Someone on here will have the extra parts.
