Congrats on the M1009 & the 6.2T in the old 67. What part of AL do you hail from?

Very nice truck! You're giving me bad ideas... :)

I have a similar setup & it works great. I sometimes use it with a 1/2hp motor, but usually just w/ the 1/2" drill.

I hate to admit it, but it was idiot (user) error w/ the meter. Daylight, a clear mind (no beer), & a different meter yielded different results. These were much more in tune w/ what was expected. Still fighting the rotted wire / bad connection gremlins though!

I'm also very interested to see if they replace them!

I've used the meter many times before, but I had already planned to checking it tonight w/ my other meter to make sure I'm not smoking crack. Both of my meters are digital. I'd love to find that its just the meter & they didn't somehow double back the 24v side of things. I figure the 56v...

Come to think of it... Maybe my whole battery setup is dead wrong!!! Please keep in mind I just bought this & I'm new to CUCV's & diesels & I didn't wire it up this way. If I measure voltage across the outermost battery posts, I get 56v. If I measure between either of the outer posts & either...

Thanks Warthog, I'll have to check that one, something is definately wrong. Get this..... All fuses except the bottom one: 24v. The bottom fuse: 56v

My brake lights came back to life when i pulled the fuse panel loose & cleaned the terminals w/ electrical grade solvent & Q-tips. Just something to check...

I've been tracking down lots of wiring problems & found something odd last night. Besides the back of the fuse panel & the engine side plug all having black crud on the terminals, the right (hot) side of the fuse panel read 27v, where I would have expected 13.5v. Cleaning up the terminals...

That's scary! I'm going to try & get a tag for my new M1009 today or tomorrow.

Good advice, Warthog. I'll cleanup things tonight. I did have to wiggle the headlight fuse again last night. I may have to bypass the fuse block for that circuit & install an inline fuse.

I made it home just fine! I ended up having other electrical problems, mainly no power to head lights, horn, tail lights, etc. I think I have identified it though as being related to the 30a headlight fuse. I'm still worried about my alternators though. Gen 2 light comes on & eventually...

What turned out to be the problem / fix??? I'm having the EXACT same problem!

Wow! I'm new to the site & amazed how many people have already offered to spend their weekend & even travel to help you out! Very cool!

You definately have a point there...

Well, we made it home! I got a steal of a deal too, despite some electrical problems. It even drives nice & smooth @ 70mph. I'm really liking it. I'll take pics this weekend & get some posted. Its a nice truck, no rust through , engine sounds great, tranny shifts firm, beige paint, &...

Wish me luck! :jumpin: I'm about to leave work early to go & hopefully buy a M1009. Hopefully it will make it home w/o any major troubles. I'm bringing the kitchen sink just in case. I just wish my other truck wasn't in pieces in case of major problems...? John O.

As mentioned earlier, I'd check & replace the flexible line if it looks old. You can't tell from outside, but they do often clog / collapse when old. If you do that, you might as well replace the wheel cylinder at the same time & take both pieces out of the puzzle.

Great to hear! That was the impression I got from the FAQ's, but I thought I'd ask. I need a new battery for the boat, so I think I'll go ahead & get one & bring it along..
