Well thanks a lot for bidding it up! :p Too bad more folks didn't realize sooner it was already my truck! :) it would have saved me some money!

I just installed an electric and used it to prime the system then shut it off and ran with the mech pump just fine... haven't hit the highway yet, but it seems to work... I intend to find a good 'run' circuit to splice the fuel pump onto then remove and bypass the mech pump. {edited}Found a...

Can anyone advise what circuit (looking for a wire color) to use that is on the run side of the ignition. Hoping to tap into it inside the engine compartment where the buddle exits the back of the Fuse box...

Thanks for the feed back & nice plastic fantastic icon pic! :p I my good friend and fellow CASA pilot, did most of the work on the pump install... its great having good friends! He's now got the CUCV bug and is registered here as 'Shade_Tree' ! More pics as requested...

Been picking away at getting it running the last couple days... and hit it hard today. Yesterday: Topped off the batteries that came with it with distilled water and tried to charge... one held 10.3 V the other wouldn't go over 11.8... went and bought 2 new type 31's and put them on a...

I'm confused I thought 120/208 three phase was similar to what I learned as 240D: phase A to ground 120V phase B to ground 208V phase C to ground 120V A to B 240V A to C 240V B to C 240 V If so you just connect Phase A and C to your home panel and you have standard 120V phase to ground...

Well I won an M1009... the EUC just cleared and I'm going to pick it up tomorrow.... I'll try to remember to take pics and post them! Oh and I went over my top dollar by a lot... I wanted "my truck"... :)

Thanks for all the info and research so many have posted here. I'm getting my M1009 soon and want to do this mod. I've checked around for the Walbro.... to expensive.. and found the 88 Chevy Van pump (E8153) seems to be the best compromise in cost and performance... Airtex - Diesel...

I just got my first EUC cleared in 10 days... In on the Monday the 9th... approved on Thursday the 19th!

I'm liking this more and more... I have a friend who is a hobbiest welder... hmm...

Thanks! That is what I was looking for!

I've read the thread Doghead posted above and a few others... I'm confused about one thing... with the M1009's: what year requires the 6 lug tool instead of the 4 lug tool?

EDITED: I bought the drawtight from a guy on ebay selling them a little banged up for cheap. I wire brushed off all the loose powder coat and rust spots, then hit it with a scotch bright medium pad to knock the shine off and prep it for paint... a little acetone after that to clean all the...

I am planning on using a full trailer (the truck drives/gets pulled up) ramps and fully on the u haul trailer... I'll pick up the trailer here in Mobile then drive up to Redstone empty, as round trip is much cheaper than one way. So I take it that GL damages undercarriage/drive train stuff due...

Howdy, I've been reading and posting here for a few weeks now... tons of info to sort through... thanks to all who contribute to this site! I just won my first auction. The EUC is in and I'm making plans concerning the retrieval of my new M1009 from Huntsville (Redstone) i won in the...

I just cut and pasted the summary posted by Mohawk Dave earlier into word and started working on it... I further edited it, pasted a few pics in, and turned the language frequently from first person testimonials to checklist type procedures... I'm a hobbiest, shade tree mechanic... Please PM...

To me, the totally green newbie, who has hauled a few 9-12K trailers behind my 2500 HD with electric brakes (yes I know my truck isn't rated for it, but it did it just fine as long as I went slow and took smooth back roads), what you state above seams feasible and cheap... If I had a M105, I...

Will this system let you edit the subject line of your original post? Thanks for keeping up with this and posting it here!

i'm new to all this, but as I understand it, surge breaks are pure hydraulic... if the lunette isn't being pulled forward by the truck it shifts aft, engaging the hydraulic break harder as it goes further aft... The M105 has air breaks that actuate hydraulic breaks, so if one was to put a...
