Your relay may look like this inside. Measure the voltage when it's closed on both sides and report back.

I believe that cpf240 is correct. I recently installed new glow plugs and changed plugs from 24 to 12 volt feed. Experienced the same no start issue with a longer than normal WAIT light symptom. Measured the voltage on the top of the GP relay -- 12.8 volts during the wait cycle. Measured the...

Are you sure that you are getting fuel to the IP? You have stated that you are getting fuel to to the filter, but is it getting to the IP? I would disconnect the glow plugs until you find out why the fuel is not getting to the injectors. This will save some wear on the glow plugs and reduce...

Recently bought another M1009 from an individual. Having no service records or other info on the truck, I decided to change glow plugs, fuel filter, oil and and clean up a few dirty electrical contacts that these vehicles are prone to have. I changed 7 of the glow plugs (one is swollen)...

Dang! Forgot to refill the smoke. Looks like the contactors did not rotate and I agree with cpf20, carbon build up on the contact surfaces. The copper had no noticeable pitting of the mating surfaces. The truck has been modified with the resistor bypass. The GP's are fed with 12 volts. Mfg...

I used a vise to pinch the top off. It popped right off and was only slightly distorted. Reinstalling the top was done with the universal BFH. I should seal it a little better, with some waterproofing materials, but for now it will be a spare unit.

My M1009 became increasingly hard to start when the glow plugs were needed to be on. Finally one morning it wouldn't start at all. Batteries are good, glow plugs are good and my GP card is good, relay made normal noise when closing. After getting a volt meter from my work truck, found that I...

I have purchased quite a few parts from this company. No complaints yet. Classic Chevy truck parts from 1973-1987. Karl

IC7000 HF radio with custom Tarheel HF antenna, CG144 VHF antenna, roof mounted UHF antenna, VHF/UHF duplexer and Motorola power voice speaker. Karl

I owned one that did and one that did not have the wiring. Like CPF240, one had an attempt at it with a local wiring job. So I assume that not all of them had the wiring installed.

Here is a few pictures of the factory installed rear bus wiring. I would estimate that it is about 12 feet of #2 stranded wire. The voltage at the battery and rear bus bar was the same with no load. With about a 10 amp load it dropped approximately .25 volts. l

Stationjj I will try to get a few pictures of the wire routing, length required and cable size later today. Fridge. Thank you for the compliment. Karl

Having just installed a new HF radio and accessories on the rear radio rack in the M1009, I wanted to convert the existing 24 volt bus bar to 12 volts. And I wanted to have a better location to access 12 volts other than the one near the glow plug relay. It is limited for high current demands...

Just a reminder and some info for a few of the newer MV owners. It's that time of year again to check your battery connections. Many battery related failures are preventable with some simple preventative maintenance. Winter is coming for many of us and it's always a good idea to do some simple...

I have Classic tags on my M35A2 and Antique on my M1008. I do not have a 5 ton............YET!!

You can get regular plates and pay the going rate for PA tags and most likely commercial insurance. Then you could apply for the Classic tags. In order to qualify for Classic tags, the vehicle must look like it did when it came from the manufacture. Yes, like new with an original factory type...

And a Welcome from Central PA. Karl

I have a M1008 doing a similar thing. The engine starts fine when cold and when it is hot. When the engine is warm it has trouble starting. Just cranks and cranks then it will start after a considerable amount of cranking time. I did find that it would start (when the engine was warm) if I...

Welcome from State College. We are planning on bringing trucks to the car show at Delgrossos on August 5th. You are welcome to come meet a few of us there. Karl
