    M1009 Electrical Woes: starting issue

    The lead wire from the starter "S" terminal shorted on the exhaust manifold, melted the wire and fried the starter relay. An easy fix.

    M1009 Electrical Woes: starting issue

    Thanks for all the help. I did locate the problem: When I dropped off my starter, I had a lead wire off of the solenoid which makes installing the wires much easier. When I picked it up, the mechanic moved the lead wire to a different terminal on the solenoid. I always forget which terminal...

    M1009 Electrical Woes: starting issue

    I had the starter off of the truck and brought it to a repair shop. It tested fine. The solenoid was not working properly so it was replaced.

    M1009 Electrical Woes: starting issue

    Brand new batteries, not car batteries, mil spec with higher cranking power. 12 volts coming out of the purple/white wire when the key is in the crank position. Battery cables are clean and look unbroken. This is annoying because the truck has been sitting on one of my job sites for the...

    M1009 Electrical Woes: starting issue

    The starter was removed and tested and worked fine. It's not the starter. Once again, I ask: how do you bypass the ignition to start it?

    M1009 Electrical Woes: starting issue

    Ok...this is the third time that I've had problems with starting my M1009. Previous times, I was able to fix it but this time I am perplexed and just about ready to call it names like %$#@*&^^%%@$@$!!!!!. Here's the scenario: I had slow starting a couple days in a row, signs of weak batteries...

    Memorial page?

    That's good that the names never get reissued. But what about a memorial page with their avatars and photos? Often, I don't look for their name but their avatar when they post something. It would be a shame if we forgot all of these great guys who have made this site what it is.

    Memorial page?

    With the passing of a few SS members recently, I have a thought: How about a page for SS members who have passed away? It could have pictures of them, their vehicles, their SS name, and their avatar. Also, can it be made that their SS name never gets reissued?

    Disrespect for Kenny Engle

    I can't say enough good things about Kenny. I've only met him a handful of times and each time he was overly friendly and helpful. I think the majority of the SS members are like Kenny. Any disrespect to someone who helps as much as Kenny does should not be tolerated. Just my 2 Euros.

    Gilbert PA rally, September 19-20 2008

    RE: Me Too I plan on convoying up on Saturday with Brian Hahl and his Pinz. Hopefully, Bob Benyon will meet up with us in his Unimog. I'll be bringing my M1009, trailer, and Austin Champ. Might bring the deuce if I can get it on the road by then.

    Mighty Mite on the obstacle course at NWMF

    Kyle, I owned a Unimog U1300L and there is no way that the Mite can go where the Mog could go. You have mentioned that the Mite can go anywhere a Mog can but you always state that you go around things. That isn't the same thing. The Mite is cool, fun, capable but certainly not a Unimog and...

    Mighty Mite on the obstacle course at NWMF

    Kyle, Yes, I did say that I kept up with some of the Mogs and all of the Pinzs. However, I will not accept that a Mite can go anywhere a Mog can go. It simply does not have the ground clearance and articulation that a Mog has. Overall, I was impressed with it's performance. It did much more...
