What you see in the video is all I did and the WD40 was for getting the battery terminals off and cleaned them for the new batteries. I did not want to remove the fuel cap or filter as that may have release what ever pressure was there. I will replace the filter after I run some of this old...

This VIN has a Texas title for it that is not salvage. As long as that SF-97 document is not filed with TxDOT, do the bonded title and after 3 years the bond goes away and there will be no trace of a salvage branding. Remember you can sell a vehicle here in Texas with a bonded title. However...

Interestingly mine was also first titled in 1998 and came from DRMO Fort Hood. It was marked with Sheriff, star and 911 stickers that they removed before sale. As for my 700R4 it is a Jasper rebuild at some point in time before I bought it. I am sure that the weight pulling a M1009 up a large...

Thanks for the offers. I got my headlight issue taken care of from a friend and harness plug from LMC on the way. The side glass is taken care of, but still need the rear glass. I am sure something will turn up, but I still have my plexiglass rear I got one time on a M1009. Does not work well...

Looks like I may be correct on why they may have parked it. When I got it the service light switch was off (middle position) and no headlight switch. So I took out the dash and speedometer and sure enough, they cut the freaking wires for the headlight switch. Amazing how simple something can be...

Probably, my best guess is with the service lights as the headlight switch is missing and the switch is in the off position. Another example of these municipalities not knowing these trucks and not doing some simple research to learn about them. I should be able to find one, there are some...

So I bought another project truck this week from a local source and decided to document what I could with video. I was all setup to record towing it back and did so for the first 30 seconds until my GoPro fell down. Lucky it was inside and not damaged, but it missed the fun of towing it and...

I put these on my 84 Suburban 4X4 3/4 ton before I added my 4" lift and the front passenger side was 1/4 from rubbing and driver about an inch. So a 1 ton would be a little higher I think, but but still be really close.

Been a month since I last posted, in that time I sold my 1984 M1009 Zombie mobile taking all of my stuff off and out less the roof rack. I also swapped the brush guard from this Suburban so the new owner did not have 20 holes in it from all my accessories, plus I would not have to drill new...

Injection pump is likely bad and that would cost about $400 for the IP if you do it yourself and almost double that if you had it done. This is how to tell an IP is bad, remove the cover and look for this.

Reason why changing over to an electric fuel pumps makes more sense. Less time cranking to bleed out the system where an electric pump does it all without killing the starter. Have you tried using about 4-8psi from a air compressor on the return line to bleed out the system until fuel comes out...

Yes it is 24v, the comment was to "Install an inline fuse close to the 12v junction.". They are NOT the same, the one you are are talking about is 24v behind the batteries, the one MarcusOReallyus is talking about is 12v next to the GP relay. I would not connect any light bar to the 12v...

Nothing else changes except the controller I pictured, so yes it still uses the same throttle actuator/governor.

I replaced mine because it did not work, but if you have issues like that you do not want it to go down when you need it. The technology was good in 1986/1990, but two decades later there are better ways to run the system. I would rather have b4thundr comment on the cost of the unit as like...

When I bought my M1031 March 2012 the generator did not work, but the PTO was fine and spun it. The original controller system was there and everything looked correct with the wiring. I read up on post and found that I had some wires melted due to the exhaust and fixed that. Checked all the...

Go to edit post click on 'Go Advanced' Look for 'Manage Attachments" and select it. A window will pop up, in the bottom row it will show all images attached to the post. Check the box for the images you want to remove and after that click on the X on the thumbnail. It will ask you if you are...

LOL!! :naner::beer: OK, I see a manual Glow plug (GP) button most likely in Pic #4 next to what is the A/C dial? So they new the truck was not starting and put in a manual button, hopefully that was done correctly or in a correct working manner. Under the dash do you see the large box near the...

The digital camo is likely just a 3M wrap, so it can be cloned by any good sign shop that does wraps. The damages likely did not affect the frame, but never can tell just by looking at it. I would suggest a frame shop or body shop with the old frame machines check it out. I had a Crown Vic with...

I know I am late on this but.... As I noted it is likely converted to 12v and I already see a problem from those pictures (#2 & #3). The glow plug resistor bank that is behind the engine on the fire wall appears to be hooked up. If it is you will only be getting 6v at the glow plugs and the...

Since it has to be 12v, do not go by the CUCV TM on how to hook it up in series (very bad for 12v). It is hook up as any civilian GMC/Ford/Dodge diesel is with the batteries in parallel. You want to do the bottom parallel method for 12v. This document may help to explain how a CUCV is...
