    Glow Plug Relay Part Number or One That Will Work

    Local parts stores and online searching have produced no results for a new glow plug relay. I have used part number PAQZZ 72005 98226 and 5945-01-192-8653. Does anyone know where I can purchase one of these. This is for a 1985 M1009 Thanks for the help! Dave

    M1009 Battery Drain with neutral unhooked

    Having not rebuilt one before, can you recommend a place to buy the parts or does it need to be rewound? I will consult the breakdown diagram. I am not afraid of doing the work, but if it needs to be rewound I will have to have that work done.

    M1009 Battery Drain with neutral unhooked

    No telepathy. Not sure why that was needed, but anyway...... I tested the voltage on both batteries, with all wires disconnected. The back battery was at 8 volts and the front was at 12 volt.

    M1009 Battery Drain with neutral unhooked

    Both batteries are brand new this week! The terminals were brushed and greased. The batteries will charge. I purchased the truck i July. It runs well. It is completely stock. This is my first military vehicle and 24 volt system. It seems that it is the battery that is closest to the firewall...

    M1009 Battery Drain with neutral unhooked

    So, I am having a problem with the batteries draining on my M1009. I have even disconnected the neutral and the batteries still goes dead. One thing that I have noticed is that since this problem has started the Gen 2 light does not come on when the key is turned on. Could there be an internal...

    New to me M1009 ...and some fun!!!

    We were at the Badlands OffRoad Park in Attica Indiana! It was really dry, so it was relatively easy. That place could be a real challenge, if it was wet!

    New to me M1009 ...and some fun!!!

    Got a M1009 a month ago. We took it to a 4x4 park here in Indiana. It is totally stock. 54k miles. It did great. We had fun. Don't know where it served and don't really know how to find out. I assume Texas or somewhere dry. It had sand everywhere on the inside. I know it's white!!! It was a...

    New M1009 Owner

    Thanks for the welcomes. It is white. It was painted white and was going to be used as a police vehicle in Texas. The problem was no one wanted to drive it. Too hot for them. For some reason they didn't like the fact that it didn't have A/C. Runs fantastic.

    New M1009 Owner

    I just purchased this M1009, this week. 54k miles. No rust out of Texas. It had been donated to a police department. Runs great. So far, everything seems to work as it is supposed to. Anything I should look out for? I am a rookie at these. I have many decades of experience with gas engines, so I...

    NOOB Electrical Question

    Thanks for the info. I have got an idea of what you are talking about. I'm a hands on kind of guy and with a schematic I will be able to figure it out. With never working on a 24v system, I wasn't sure if you needed to run 24v equipment and didn't know if it even existed. I assume then that the...

    Government Liquidation is the site. US Army Tank Automotive Command is where it used. Is this what you are asking?

    Government bid on M1009 and Title

    I have read a lot of really bad things about buying through GL. Did you guys have pretty good experiences? Wondering now if it would be better to find one from amn individual.

    Thank you. I am considering buying an M1009 and looking at the future. I know nothing about them but am pretty good at repairing any 12 volt gas vehicle.
