What kind of fuel filter setup do you have? I have a hunch that the filter base is leaking air and losing its prime, as many here have indicated is common. My M1009 has been doing this regularly and the only way I've found around it is to pour a small amount of diesel fuel into the top of the...
Is this coincidence? My brother made a timing adjustment (Retarded) to the injection pump on his M1009 to try to reduce the heavy black smoke he was getting under load. The day after he adjusts it, the truck has no juice, electrical is completely dead. He jumped it twice and drove a good...
Mine does the same thing and I dont know why. In addition, if I turn the heater fan up the light grows brighter as the fan speed increases. So I guess it is responding to resistance (increase/decrease?) in that circuit. Next time you're driving yours, try turning on the blower and see if it...
I mean the actual handle that sticks out of the column but I think I follow what you're saying. The column did not originally have delay wipes so I think I have to change out the switch inside the column for one with a harness that has the two extra wires. I assume those wires are what carry...
Do the delayed wipers require a different module at the end of the stalk? I have a delay stalk and the delay box, but I've plugged them all in and they still dont work. Does the switch that the stalk plugs into need to be replaced as well? I pulled a tilt column from an 88 syburban and it fit...
On my m1009 I have a section of the fuse box which has clearly been overheated as the plastic has melted in the upper right hand section. I can't remember at the moment if its a 5 amp fus
e but I can tell you that due to the damage in that location, the fuse will get a little loose and the same...

Instead of ether try using deisel. I keep a piece of tubing tied around the battery brace under the hood. Whenever I have a no start problem (one that I have yet to sort out) I just bleed a little deisel into it from the top of the filter housing, pinch it off and then drain it into the carb...
I reviewed as many hitch posts as I could without going slightly mad and I still havent found a clear (enough) answer, or I'm just dumber than your average bear. Which class III hitch is the right (best) one for the M1009? Before you point out that its probably option B, let me explain my...
I've had a similar no-start issue twice in the last week and a half. The engine will crank but not fire. Its different from slow or cold starts because there is no indication of fuel getting to the cylinders, it just turns dry. The solution was the same in both cases but I cant rule out...
Hasdrubal,
I put a tilt column in my '85 CUCV and I couldn't figure out how to make use of the intermittent wiper feature. Can you tell me what to hook up and where? I would love to have that working. Overall I really like the tilt wheel but for some reason mine has recently developed a...
