Ha ha that's not too far off. I like the storage idea and it would look better with a tighter fit. I would be interested in a back seat cover as well if I got the fronts done. The back would not need pockets though. Best of luck with your business venture!

All is well. I replaced the relay, but when I took out the stock one I noticed one wire was loose causing the intermittent starting problem. Temperature was not a factor in the end.

It sounds like a short to me. You could disconnect the wires to the slave port and going from the 24v terminal to see if the issue goes away. You can do it one by one and test in between to isolate where the short is. I'm a CUCV novice though.

Do you have any pictures? Black would be a good color I think.

I'm in Illinois so not too far south and have not had to plug in. I hold the gas pedal to the floor to start and give half throttle after starting to warm up until the idle evens out. Temps have been down to 5 below plus wind chill here. Hope you get her going.

Does anyone have any current led headlight recommendations?

Hey cucvrus the link is still in your quote from my post. Can you get rid of it? Sorry for causing trouble.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep my eyes open and watch what sells over time to get a better read potential values. Sorry for posting a live auction. It was not mine or anyone I know. Just a guy trying to get close to 20k for an m1009. I hope he gets it 😉.

My bad. Deleted.

I'm not trying to make money. I enjoy working on it and learning so that is the main point for me. I want to leave it stock for the most part. I'm on the fence about fixing up the interior, and how far to go with that. I put in new vinyl flooring, and I go back and forth on replacing the...

Still 24V

I can see myself getting carried away with improvements, and I'm having a hard time finding the value of a restored m1009 that is rust free. Anyone have an idea of a price range for something like that. I don't intend on selling anytime soon, but I don't want to throw too much money down a...

Thanks Marcus, I value your advice. I did see the starter ground bolted to the frame at the 6 tab ground. Thanks sneekyeye that makes me feel better. Roscoe, thanks for the input. The starter was not engaging at all. On morning no starter or engine noise at all when I turn the key. Later...

Thank you! I was wondering what was supposed to use that ground terminal. There was nothing there when I got the truck, and I have been using it to add accessories. I will trace the starter relay ground to see where it goes. As a side question there is a cut wire that comes out from behind...

I'm working on it. The batteries were at 12.7 each this morning and it started up with no hesitation so I don't think the batteries are the issue. I dropped the starter relay to test for voltage yesterday and it is still dangling. Weather was only slightly warmer today so I'm guessing...

This is not bad: https://goo.gl/images/qv8s7j

It did start up and is in the garage now. It started while I tried to test for voltage on the starter relay purple/white wire. I let it run and then went to the store and left it running, so it ran for more than an hour. After dinner and it started right up with no wait light. I'll check the...

I was checking voltage at the purple wire with a white stripe to the black wire in the starter relay and it started up. Did I jump it or is did it just start on it's own? 5a fuse was loose so that was the dash light issue.

By nothing I mean the only effect of turning the key is the two lights on the photo I posed lighting up (temp and Brake). No solenoid thud, and no starter engaging, just quiet. This happened the other morning and when I tried in the afternoon it started right up. Thanks for the help guys...

The dash lights don't come on. The aux light does when I turn the headlight knob. I have a portable jumper. I would connect that to the front battery correct?
