    Tires?

    TR is an On-Line seller they had them for $159 with a $40 rebate...$149 each with shipping I think. Haven't looked at the mount/balance/disposal cost yet....guess it's just about a wash. I like the boys at Bulldog, I'll give the LOCAL boys the business...

    The overlay is on the back of the instrument cluster. Now that I think about it a little more, that wouldn't effect your Charge reading assuming that your gauge is separate from the instrument cluster. Forget that unless someone tells us different...Still sound like a loose connection to me from...

    Allow me to introduce myself

    Welcome....newb.....when I first got my M1109, the Battery hold downs were shorting the Batteries due to corrosion. Not good,check that.

    24 Volt Relay / Fuel Bleeder Screw

    Use a NAPA ST-85 for the GP relay. 12vdc Coil, switches the 24vdc to the GP's... Use AC60G for the Glow plugs. You'll have to grind the connectors to make them fit...Worked great for me

    M1009 Starting troubles

    Found a bad GP relay but it still won't start, Wait Light seems to be working properly now. I think the Glow Plugs may have been cooked. 24VDC coming from the Batteries goes through the Resisters to the GP Relay. Should the voltage drop across the resisters when the circuit is closed? It should...

    M1009 Starting troubles

    I purchased my first MV last week, installed new batteries to drive it home. Ran fine for two days. Now when I try to start it the Glow Plug Light stays on as long as the ignition is on. It turns over fine. It's still the 24v system. I suspect the Glow Plug Module or Temp sensor. Then again it...
