I'll have to add pics later, but I went super cheap for my "stereo" set-up: -I found a couple of round iPod speakers with a battery-powered mini-amp at Target for $20. -Then I found a couple 99-cent cup holders at the Flying-J. -I cut the window clips off the cup-holders except for the...

:mrgreen: with envy. *Dear Lord, Please let this happen in Kansas City the day after I get my tax refund in January. My wife really needs one. In Jesus' name, Amen*

Wow- okay. So it's apparently a gremlin. *praying* I think running it hot while low on fluid may have locked up a clutch or something (I probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but it sounds good, right?). It just never felt like when I put it into gear with the shift lever that it was...

*bump*

With the ridiculously unworn condition of most of the truck, and being a ARNG HQ CO vehicle, 50k miles doesn't seem unbelievable. The tranny and diff fluids appear to have been pretty well maintained and regularly serviced. There's paint marker on the covers/pan says "changed xxxxx 2007"...

So this tranny is gonna go out with 50k miles on it? (Realizing it's 23 years old, but still!) I'll have to dig in and replace the filter this weekend, I guess. Any other ideas floating around out there? Was hoping the tranny would last at least until Jan/Feb...

So, just when I got the IP replaced and was enjoying the M1009 immensely, something else had to get weird, right? I searched this and read a good 30 threads and saw similar things, but nothing just like what I'm experiencing. So, here's the deal: The truck is driving like a tank. 1st gear...

I gotta disagree. I'm currently active military and have laid my life on the line to protect our freedoms. One of the most beautiful things in my mind is seeing the diverse bumper stickers on the cars in the lot of my post on base. Active military members still retain their right to free...

Yep, that was me! Our meeting with the dog went really well: he and our boys played for about an hour. And most importantly, the wife approves. We're going to go meet him a couple more times so he's not moving in with complete strangers, but it looks like we're going to bring him home this...

Well, after a certain Italian hijacked and killed my thread :D, I got to digging in the TMs (We should all start there, first, but sometimes a quick answer is nice, right?). Went through the troubleshooting in the unit maintenance manual for the GP system and although I had checked my engine...

So, for the resident experts: So, we can all avoid this kind of difficulty, what could have prevented this from happening in the first place? Replacing the old alt bolts with new?

Bueller....Bueller....?:roll: (*bump*)

So, I'm wondering if it's possible to just bypass the fuse box and wire the WAIT and WIF lights, and Voltmeter directly to their sources with an inline fuse. What component controls/send to them? I'm completely lost when it comes to wiring diagrams.

What all trucks have compatible harnesses? Seems like it would have to be a CUCV, right? And if anyone's done this, how long of a chore are we talking? Seems like it'd be best saved for a 3-day weekend.

Okay, so I tore into the dash tonight and here's the deal: The bulbs for the wait light and wif are fine, but there's no power to the lines, even though the fuses for the dash lights are all good. Same thing with the voltmeter gauge ("v meter" 26v) slot on fuse box has no power now either...

Well, this morning it was just below 50* when I went out to start the truck. It had been sitting all night, so engine was cold. On start up, no GP wait light, no WIF light. All other dash lights and external lights are good (except voltmeter). Is there a separate fuse or relay for these...

I'll have to check that out, but it won't be until tomorrow after I get off work. Will report back.

Check. So what do I need to do about repairing the voltmeter on the dash. Is there another fuse or a relay somewhere? Or is there a way to tell if the gauge itself is shot?

Fairly warm still. Why?

Well, the 28v 10amp fuse was blown so I replaced it. The engined control (20amp) fuse didn't look blown, but I replaced it anyway. And still don't have WAIT light or WIF lights, either. (Course, it hasn't been cold enough today to have to wait, but neither is coming on upon startup) Now what?
