    Why can't I get FM radio?

    When it comes to antennas..... size matters.

    Participated in the ARRL VHF contest yesterday from a mountain top site. Band conditions were lousy until I got home. Then 6 meters had a nice opening for a little bit. Figures.

    Glow Plug wiring idea. Comments please

    Very interesting idea. One thing to keep in mind, the GP's draw 100 amps when all of them are working. All of your components will need to be rated for that amperage draw. Where would you mount the knife switch and protect it from accidental contact on the exposed parts of it? Perhaps use a...

    Factory style floor covering. Who's the best?

    http://www.stockinteriors.com/moldedvinyl.asp?Itemid=21791&MakeId=31&ModelId=94 Are you doing a M1008 or M1009 truck? I purchased 2 of these for 2 M1009 trucks. The first one fit pretty well. It's not an exact fit and does not have any holes punched in it for the seats, seat belts etc. The...

    CUCV oil cooler lines from NAPA

    Rick, I used the NAPA ones on my M1009. They do fit...sorta. You might need to massage the aluminum bends on the engine side. The next time I will replace the rubber part and reuse the aluminum ends. The factory aluminum ends are a better fit than the NAPA ones.

    M1009 no wait light, no GEN 2 light, no volts.

    M1009 no wait light, no GEN 2 light, no volts.

    Check or replace fuse #17 in the attached picture. It's labeled the Engine Control Fuse. That fuse controls the GEN2 relay, Voltmeter relay, Water in Fuel light and other things. If that fuse has no voltage on either side of it, then check the fusible link red wires on the terminal block on the...

    Looks like a nice vehicle. You might as well start looking for a second one, your parents will want it.

    Wiper motor overheating?

    I agree with checking the linkage to ensure that it moves freely. I had the same issue on one of my trucks. Some lube on all of the connecting components helped substantially and kept the motor from overheating. The wiper motor has +12 volts to it from the fuse box. It gets a ground command...

    M1009 Won't Start Suddenly and Melted Battery Post

    If you have a voltmeter, check the voltage on the large terminal of the glow plug relay that has the orange wires. Need to know what the voltage is when it is closed and providing voltage to the orange wires. I think you either have a bad GP relay or multiple glow plugs that are not working...
