I think I have to start kicking things and throwing stuff. I do enjoy fixing things when they are fixed. I started replacing the glow plugs but it got dark. I figure I will do that next. If that does not work I will jump power to the plugs. I also have a fuel filter so I will swap that out too...

Went to blled the air and fuel camoe out on the first try. Found out the vacume hoses going to the IP go to an adapter. Removed the cracked adapter and put the hoses on the Vacuum Regulator Valve which is on the side of the IP. But it still does not start. Now I have my multimeter and when I...

Well I was rechecking vacume lines and I found a short line that was dried and cracked and just fell in my hand. I was trying to figure out where it went so I looked at my other M1009 (that does not run) and found the line from the canister at the back of the engine conected to a metel tube by...

Thanks! I pulled the fuel filter and diesel pored out. So my guess is the the solenoid or when GL used ether they blew the head gaskets and I am not getting compression. I have a compression gauge back in Houston but on a gas engine it goes in the spark plug hole where would it go on a diesel or...

Well I got the batteries to hold a charge but it will not start. It seems to not be getting fuel. I can get get the lifter sounds when I spray but it does not start. I do not have a camera with me. When looking at the silver box fuel filter there is a whitish tube on the top passenger side that...

I got another M1009 but this one only has 15k miles. Not bad for a 1985. But the batteries were low so they are charging. My question is about what I should watch for when starting. I charged the batteries some and it turned over, sounded rough, but would not start before the batteries gave out...

Yeah and the cop on the side of the road will know it is not a 78 and you just might end up taking a ride. Unless you like trouble and explaining stuff when in jail you might want to worry more about the year than the price.

littlebob you have salt just like me. It is on the beach! That sand is full of salt! The good thing is that it is not cold. Everytime any car of mine is on a lift I go out and look. It is all about prevention even more up where it is so cold. As soon as you see a bubble in the paint get the sand...

M1009 1985 The numbers on the back of the truck MONG 3175P and it looks like maybe K 2 The VIN given to me is 1G8ED18J8FF206051

I have had two vehicles transported, one was a MV. I also flew and picked an old air-cooled VW in Oregon drove it over the continental divide down to Houston and then on to Virginia. I did make some repairs in the parking lot of an autoparts store. I only stayed in a hotel one night and slept in...

Yeah I got my first one cheap and the frame is bent and the engine dropped. I paid olmost double for the one in MO but it had better pics. I will call up there and get someone to look to verify before I go up. If I go get it I will fly up and drive back. I have a tool bag and a sleeping bag. As...

How much does a slave cable cost? I found a couple online. One $150 and another $250. Can I just get the ends at an electrical supply and get my own cable? I think it would be helpful to have a thread to help people find sources.

I see WMO in other trucks. But who is putting it in a CUCV? What about vegi oil? I do not want to put in a WVO tank and use a separate fuel system. I was thinking about bio diesel. But what about just mixing WVO or WMO with diesel? It does not get cold in Houston and looking at summers with lows...

I got the one with 15,344 miles. It says starts with a jump and starter fluid. Does anyone know if it can be jumped with two cars or would they melt? I am no electrician I just follow the rules I hear. I would love to call AAA for a 24v jump.:-D I did call them for a 250 mile tow once and give...

Yeah, I am planning on getting one in June. I was told the hardest part is getting the pulley lined up so the belt stays on. But you can goto the OD Iron website and look at the instructions. You will have to put a vacuum on it to add freon. You may have to have an a/c tech do that. But it...

$540:!: Is it running? Where did you get it from?

I will also try a post to see if anyone else is moving anything south. I will also see what I would have to pay a transport company. I know a driver that will do it for what they pay him. He owns his truck and trailer but it depends on where he is and where he is going. It is normally cheaper to...

From MO to Houston I will have to either drive it or have brought down here for me. I will call the contact and ask the real condition. If it will start and keep running I will be good.

I sure hope it is the glow plugs. At least a non diesel knowing guy like me can figure out how to replace those! Can I just pick up and drive out with the M1009 or does it have to be put on a trailer. I can get paper tags and insurance. I can jump it and drive straight to a part store for...

I just won another M1009 on GL:doh: This time It says the batteries are dead, starts with a jump and starter fluid. I can put batteries in. But if it needs starter fluid does that mean the fuel pump needs replacement?
