The only thing I did to my M1009 today is pull the studded snow tires off and put the BFG ATs back on. I also finished making the back-up lights for my Grand Cherokee. The visibility out the back is really bad, and I wanted some aux lights. I did not want to hack up my factory wiring harness...

OK then, I'm done. Thanks for playing. :roll:

Can you explain this in detail, using proper punctuation so it makes sense? You connected 12v red from your jeep to....?

Anti-seize compound on all the threads will make it easier the next time around.

All of a sudden my left turn signal doesn't work. Works with the four-ways, but not with the stalk. I'll be puzzling that one now. Nothing like an old truck.

Vacuum pump or vacuum line leaking been suggested already?

Getting the truck started from cold was getting problematic; two or three cycles for the GPs, then crank and barely not catch, another GP cycle and then it would begrudgingly start. Pulled out the ebay Bosch GPs and replaced them with AC Delco 60s instead. I tested the old ones after removing...

By line I mean the system of lines, valves, adapter, and cap that comprises the assembly. To believe the engine "built up" enough pressure to blow open a steel line would be uh... shall we say, silly. It didn't happen to me; I merely reported what I was told by a (former) M1009 owner.

I bought a couple antenna brackets from a local guy that was parting out his burned up M1009. He said his oil sampling line suddenly burst and sprayed oil onto the exhaust manifold, creating a fire that destroyed his vehicle. He advised me to remove mine, which I didn't do for a couple years...

Fourth of July!

Have you considered a single VM with a rotary select switch?

The quick link goes on your tow vehicle, not the trailer chains. The trailer chain hook engages the quick link hanging off your bumper.

I'm pretty sure mine are failing. They are only about three or four years old, but they're Bosch brand I got on ebay and I don't think they were all working when I put them in. My symptoms sound like yours; I cycle the glow plugs two or three times, foot half way in, crank, doesn't catch. But...

I never screw anything together anymore unless the threads are coated with antiseize compound first. It makes life a lot easier later on.

I picked up a couple of these at home depot. Easier.

Here's my converter box that I made to tow my M1101 with my WK Grand Cherokee (Hemi) and still be able to move the trailer with the M1009. I should have used a larger box because my plan was to put a cigar lighter plug in it to run a light or whatever. The coil cord was from e-Trailer, the mil...

I think they're rated for a payload of 2740# max.

The M11101 and M1102 trailers are identical. The only difference is the data plate. Both trailers have the same weight capacity; the numbers on the data plate are for the soldier to determine whether his vehicle is allowed to tow it.

Sorry for another question: So right now the axle is only attached at the sides, and not on top (up through the frame rail)?

Thanks! I'll be interested to hear how it behaves with a heavy load.
