    Why do people bash the CUCV?

    BECAUSE… 9mm or .45 or .40 ? If we all agreed on everything we would be a pretty boring lot.

    A couple electrical issues with M1009

    Welcome! It seems at first glace that the belt might be slipping. Any noise? Does it need replaced? There is a lot of drag on an alternator pulley that is putting out its full charge.

    Be careful, one of the two owners of this site lives in W.Va. :) Welcome, from, ...well, about 30 miles from Zanesville, 30 miles from Coshocton, 30 Miles from Mount Vernon, and 30 miles from Columbus. Look for the carc 383 Amish Buggies and you know your close.

    M1009 ongoing troubleshooting

    Really, the troubleshooting guide that mistaken posted is a great place to start. One plug disconnected will over voltage the other plugs. The glow plug controller will attempt to limit this, but understand that is a stop-gap measure that the controller performs. Learn the meter. You simply...

    How dirty is the connection to the voltage regulator(s)?

    Glow plug card repaired

    All I did was steer him in the right direction, he was the one who took it by the horns and did something that he had never done before. Great job!

    What direction?

    Not BS… Everything in my units were like that. Right side forward…left side backward… when the enemy sees your tracks, he wont know which way you went. Love the avatar(s)…

    cold idle circuit questions

    For example: Was the ignition switch turn to “run” when you did this? Was the truck running when you did this? If so, how long had it been running? When you say “buzz” what is that like? Was it clicking in and out, or was it just clicking in and staying in like normal?

    cold idle circuit questions

    1 From where did you take the 12v from? 2 How soon (in seconds) was it between the time you started it, and when you jumped the solenoid? 3 Do you have your glow plug controller installed?

    Voltmeter Trouble

    Check the fifth link in my signature. Also to quickly do some isolation, swap the two relays. See if the problem moves.

    Wow, I think this is the best reason for reviving an old thread I have ever seen. I wish more people did this. Great follow up DUG, thank you!

    Removed Gen lights

    Can be done pretty easy. Anything that will conduct with a similar resistance will work in theory. So even just a resistor there would work. Cleaning all connections is a great place to start, fixed so many problems that way. Then, keeping it simple first; make sure batteries are good and...
