Fellow SS'ers, has anyone tried using a Tachometer from HMMV on CUCV vehicles? Found one on ebay ( NOS 6680-01-474-0384 ) that looks like what I have been looking for.
Not sure of diamensions and how it get its input??? Any thoughts.... :???:
Thank you 82ABNMP. Have seen Sherwin Williams mentioned before. Will take that as a prompt. Looking forward to seeing your 09 in Urban Cammo! Planning on going all Olive Drab for simplicity inside and out. Paint and Body is new art for me. DMLII sends respectfully....
Welcome paramed1967! The M1009 is way to go. In my humble opinion. Enjoy working on and operating mine all the time. Good luck rust. Need pics of your ride:beer:
82ABNMP, I live in California and paint is a major availability issue due to restrictions. What brand and type of paint did you use and how did you thin it for spraying? I am assuming you shot with Spray Pot off compressor? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Starting my paint and body work...
Jeff Nelson,
Thanks for response! Have not tried that product myself. Penetrox is not cheap either. But it really seems to be helping my efforts. Like you, no green goo after application. Clean thoroughly both terminal and mating surface with acid brush.
Thought more might chime in on...
Fellow SS'ers, have been going through my M1009 electrical with fine tooth comb lately. After checking each conductor for it's integrity. I have been applying Burndy Penetrox A-13 to both clean terminal and its landing.
I work for a large Electrical Contractor. We use this product quite...
:)I had Muffler shop local to me start fresh all the way from Exhaust Manifolds to tips. Little spendy! Close to 500 for all. Bends on port side were a pain! Ran 2 Chamber FlowMasters. Sounds good! Not to loud though. Just right for me.
Word of advice. Direct down if going with oem...
DMLII sends from Martinez! In the quest for M1009 perfection. We are here in COCO County and no way were leaving. PLEASE include me in all Ca. Smokesignals from here forward.
74, sent PM. Is OEM air cleaner assy and housing still there? Can't wait to see pictures. I am sure there is more that I'm chasing after in my dreams? DMLII sends....[thumbzup]
Hooked up with CUCV Electric today and they were very helpful! Said they would send another Regulator. Really appreciate them working with me on this problem. Said that I should clean and reterminate Hot Leads to Alternators on Firewall. Could be route of problem? Finished top rail and part...
I agree Warthog! Thanks for input. Just purchased kit from CUCV Electric. Installed parts with great care? Will contact seller tomorrow and see if he will hook me up with another?:cookoo:
Well here are my initail findings. Way out of balance. At least they are being charged!:cookoo:
Front Battery @ Idle 13vdc - run 15.85vdc
Rear Battery @ Idle 14.74vdc - run 14.80vdc
Feedback at Gen 1 & 2 lights are not effected by accs - heater, headlamps etc. I think balance is the key here with my situation. Have an imbalance somewhere? Going in deep. Will report back as more is found. All being said. I am operational. [thumbzup]
Welcome aboard fellow M1009 owner! I thorougly enjoy mine. Much TLC required. Good luck. Looks like you will need some parts if going back to oem. Hopefully not to much rust.
Did you make an artists rendition of what you fabricated for front and back bumper ( plans )? I would be interested in seeing if you can share. Hard to tell exactly what you fab'd from pics. Want my baby to be Hostein proof also! Good luck with Crash Mc Cool. :popcorn:
cpf240, yes they both iluminate during startup procedures. Then I agree once reved up they should not be lit. Mine excites then stays lit? Gen 1 only. Drove about 14 miles tonight and is still acting up? Do not think she will strand me though. Volt meter is in green and output is perfect...
Well, thought the saga was over. Rebuilt port side Alternator with complete kit from CUCV Electric. Very comprehensive kit by the way. Thanks for lead guys.
At idle the Gen 1 light is steady and bright. It is putting out perfectly though according to output test with VOM? Soon as you...
