    Where can I get my M1009 dirty, near NW Atlanta area?

    CJ, If you need help or have a question send me a PM and I'll do what I can to help. Most of us have "been there done that"...and will try to help. I've been through my oh9 inside and out. If you decide to head over to Durhamtown, let me know...:beer:

    Need help diagnosing problem

    Ditto...you've got a loose connection in the main ground. All the current was carried by the smaller ground wire causing the damage. The chatter from the GPR was probably caused by the voltage drop due to the bad connection. I can't think of anything else that would case this other than a loose...

    12v or 24v

    Florida9 Newb...You need to make a big decision here, do you want to keep the 12V conversion or go back to the As Built. At this point, I'd suggest sticking with the conversion, straighten out what you have and try to understand it. If your not familiar with Electrical System and how/why they do...

    No Lights

    Get out the schematic and start tracing the circuits. Chances are you'll find a loose or corroded connection. I've had trouble with the interal connections of the fuse block. Good Luck:beer:

    ok...here we go...

    Ok, here's what I found so far. The drain plug on the Filter assembly was loose and the drain hose was clogged with a Muddobber, Mud Wasp, whatever U want to call it. Went ahead and changed with filter, figured it couldn't hurt. While changing the filter I found the connector loose on the Temp...
