Bought the m1009 from gl and have been unable to get it started. I installed a manual GP switch, have power at the plugs, but didn't have time to ohmn them out. Have read the troubleshooting in the TM 20 and 34 and did a search here on SS, not sure what I'm missing. Lift pump is good and fuel...
Found a parts m1009 close by, what is a fair price? I'm guessing the motor is blown. Sorry no pics. here is the sellers reply LOL..............................................................
" i have no clue about the engine. most all of the military trucks have the engines removed. i think...
Yes in section 2 box A they wanted "for intended use, for parts, for scrap" They might as well just fill the EUC out for us and email it so we can sign it.
Thanks for setting me straight, one last question which may be a dumb one. Will the engine start with out the glow plug sys working or is it the only way the engine will start?
84 m1009 cranks fine, it is missing the glow plug control card and will not start. I thought I might get lucky with temp's in the mid 90's that it might start with out the glow plugs. I will order a card this week from front line. Is there any chance that it will start with no control card...
The tailgate on the m1009 I bought from GL was MIA. Have a civ tailgate with the power window regulator, can the power regulator be swaped out with a manual one? Also it is missing the hinges, anyone know of a good place to find a set other than a junk yard?
Thanks in advance
The EUC's seem to be taking longer, I'am at 34 since it was sent to Battle Creek. Don't know if there is any truth to it but, it seems if you have a military clearance it seems to take longer. Got out last year but clearance is good til 2009.
Did they charge by straight sales tax .ie IL is .0625 or close. However the tax at the DMV would only be $25.00 due to the year of a CUCV. Just asking while waiting on an EUC to clear.
Yes you call C.S. after a week, C.S.: states sir the EUC are in process....me: a, well your web site states to call C.S. if it is still showing sub pending. So I ask I long should I wait to call C.S. again, time wise. Same thing well sir it is in process, ok again I ask Do I wait another week...
