I might have them little cast iron pieces. Might. But can I find them?

I had to dig into my stash and unbox a GM circuit card. I slipped it in the box and turned the key. Clunk the glow plugs solenoid engaged and cycled. I started the M1009 and checked the lower stud on the relay. It cycled 4 times and shut the glow plugs off. Happy Happy. The shift selector...

This is a picture I received from a fellow that has charging problems on an M1009. He said he has the Gen 1 grounded. I told him this does NOT constitute an isolated ground. This will create charging issues. Am I correct on that?

You can have brand new alternators built for the truck. You can also send the used dirty alternators and have the cases bead blasted and rebuilt and they would look like day 1. I have mine rebuilt functional or for pretty all the time. Most times I opt for functional. Like I said many times...

Now the fun begins. You must clean and check everything.

Still wondering what that thing is on the injection pump. Does anyone know a good part number for a fast idle solenoid? The GM part number is discontinued.

After long thought and 9 hours on my full time job I was able to come home and solve the problem. I think the initial problem was all the hacking that had been done to this poor Red Devil. I had pulled all the glow plugs tested them and reinstalled them. The relay on the fire wall was...

I clipped my test light on it and checked all the fuses for power. I just have it clipped on and the test light lights. I think that means I have ground. I agree that it is strange. I changed the glow plug harness and still have the same symptoms. Now I don't feel bad when I say my new truck has...

That would be too easy. I have the cluster out and everything working on the cluster. I replaced the star washer and bolt on the ground at the E brake. Still no joy. I removed the glow plug relay from a running CUCV that operates perfectly installed it and the relay will NOT engage. I have 2...

NO LED's. I don't think I can take anymore of this. LED's are the way of the new world. Embrace change but keep your incandescent bulbs in the Gen 1 & Gen 2 idiot light sockets. LED's do not excite the circuit.

I have changed the frame part on 2 CUCV's the hole was egg shaped and steel on steel. When I put the new bushings in the rubber was still pushing up in the top part. I use Energy Suspension now. They are a bit stiffer and can acomidate the wear better then the rubber ones. The ride may be...

I have a few of them. I can send you one.

Tis true. They have a many multi diode lamps that are NOT DOT approved and are branded for off road use only. The expensive ones are the only DOT approved ones. Thus the expense. You gotta love the guys with the LED light bars on the roof and in the grille. Joy. Even in daylight they have them...

How about a picture of the rear shackles on the front spring? Is the eye of the spring resting on the frame? I would guess that is where you are getting the set back.

Thank you Obi- Wan. I ordered 2 of the relays and 2 of the rubber boot kits. I hope the boots are for the 5/16" studs which I think they are. I need to get some of them for my alternator studs also. I don't get out much. Probably a thing that you can get anywhere. and here I am salvaging them...

http://www.murcal.com/Catalog/Metal-DC-Contactor-Family So many choices. So little knowledge. Obi-Wan?

Are the rear shackles still intact. I seen many that have no rubber left in the frame shackle at the rea mount. Also check your leaf spring centering pin. It could be sheared. Merry Christmas.

Obi-Wan Kenobi of glow plug circuitry. Where are you? I need your help after Christmas. I tried everything. I tapped my heels together 3 times. Read every post I could find and still have not come up with a solution. I think I am getting a ground somewhere and it is causing a problem or lack of...

Is the M1010 Glow Plug circuit different from the rest of the CUCV's? I found an M1010 wiring diagram. Not sure why both my light blue and pink go positive when the key is turned on. No engagement of relay unless I switch the 2 wires then no disengagement of relay. I am lost. Maybe another day...

You can fix what you have. It will not be easy and it will take a lot of labor time. Fabricating parts, removing rust and installing panels is very time consuming labor intense work. I run from that stuff anymore. Smaller holes no big deal but floors and supports get into safety and liability in...
