Nice looking truck. I have not seen one with out a cracked dashpad. Hawkman had some plugs at one time.

Looks like you found a couple of good ones.:razz:

The starter relay is not needed on a 12v conv. Its purpose is to convert the 12v signal from the ign switch to 24v to the starter solenoid. Unplug it ,cut the purple and purple /white wires and join them together.

Funny I just bought another M1009 and all three are missing from mine ,plus the pintle.

Odball , eaisiest way to access the 2 bolts that hold the swtch down is to drop the column down. After that remove the dimmer switch and you are there. If you drop the column don't forget to remove the cable going to the PRNDL first.

The doghead relay mod is for the starter relay under the dash. This is a must do if you stay 24v because the relays have a high failure rate with bad consequences. The relay changes the 12v signal from the ignition switch to 24v to the starter solenoid. S0 if you are converting to a 12v starter...

If I had to guess I would say it is the lock cylinder. We run into this frequently on civi cars and trucks. You can check the rod to the ignition swich by dropping down the column , but you will have to remove the ignition swictch and dimmer switch. To access the cylinder you will have to remove...

I love that top, thanks for passing this along. By the way nice looking rig.

When something like this happens we always think the worst, but when dealing with electrical issues anything can happen. Good job on fixing it.

If you convert to 12v you do not need to do the doghead relayswap. Just connect the purple wire to the purple/white wire and you are good to go.The original relay is there to switch a 12v signal from your ign switch to 24v to the starter solenoid.

Sounds like the screw is not seating to shut off the flow.

Nice 1009 , gotta love these trucks, thanks for your service.

I know on the civy trucks of that era there is a nut below where the blower motor is . You should be able to work an extension and flex socket between the air box and the fenderwell.

You can just disconnect the cable at the transfer case and drive it around the block to see if your noise is gone. As far as servicing the case it is just basically a drain and fill.

Good looking truck, just went through the glowplug thing myself.

I would go ahead and do the doghead starter relay conversion and bypass the glow plug resistor. I put sliders in my top also , it's a good upgrade.

Thanks Jimm1009 , I always wondered what the purpose of this was.

nice truck welcome to the green addiction.

Looks good . I like the blacked out grill and bumpers.

My daily driver is a 12v conversion that I have had about 3 years and no problems. It was done before I bought it. The ones I restore I like to keep 24v. Unless I had major problems I would stay with the original system.
