    Prepping my M1009 for moving

    Have a great move! You will miss Montana. If the military is moving you why not just put it on a trailer with a full or partial DIY move? and...Hey, thanks for serving. EDIT- Forget that. Make it an adventure and drive the 2000 or so miles. Have a good trip! Be careful of firearm laws in...

    M1008 Starting issues

    Flexplate teeth worn maybe. You can buy one at Orelly's, NAPA or one on line. I used the Pioneer brand just fine. Some guys want OEM. Do the doghead mod before you burn up all of the starter system. It is cheap and easy. Clean and check all you cables from the battery to the starter. Read...

    She didn't start this morning

    So far I only had the problem that cold morning. The starter was new this summer and has a two year warranty. No more problems so far. Thanks. Now I know what to check first.

    She didn't start this morning

    Exactly! 22 degrees that morning. I kept the old parts just in case. It seemed more like weak batteries than fuel to me which sucks as I have the more expensive Optima. I hope it is just a fluke of having a 26 year old vehicle. EDIT- It started in the garden with Eve.

    She didn't start this morning

    I've done most of what you mentioned. I also use diesel Treat each fillup so I won't gel. 60g's are from July, new relay, controller card, gp resistor bypass, starter, flywheel, spin on fuel filter, Optima batteries, and much more. If it continues I will get out the multimeter and start...

    She didn't start this morning

    My M1008 let me down. I let her sit in the cold several days and went out to start this morning and only got a clunk. I tried twice and stopped so I didn't drain the batteries. I left her sitting in the driveway. When I got home from work I cycled the gp's two times and she fired right up...

    towing a m101a2 question m1009

    It will work just fine. Make sure you don't overload your receiver hitch. EDIT- It also gives me some length to jackknife my trailer more if needed.

    My ignition is sticking.

    Not hard, but a PITA if you don't do it all the time. My brother is a locksmith and made it look easy. Sometimes it is better to know someone or just pay.

    Request for GP replacement assistance - Police Involved

    My M1008 starts easier after I did the resistor bypass. When I let it sit for several days in the cold, it starts right up. It is easy to do and saves all your plugs from burning up to fast. I do use Diesel Treat as an fuel additive which seems to help too. I was hesitant at first as you can...

    Request for GP replacement assistance - Police Involved

    I hate posting this because sometimes my light bulb comes on slower than others. It is my understanding you can change your glow plugs with 60g's and everything will work just fine the way your vehicle is now. Or you can change your gp's and bypass the resistor too and everything will work...
