    m1009 over heating

    could be t stat, clogged radiator, low on coolant...... but if you want to can the engine right off the bat go for it. I think you need to read the TM and find out how to trouble shoot overheating. You will want to make sure the coolant is full, and then pressure test the cooling system and go...

With a different trans how are you going to do that? If you use manual valves you could leave the T...

    EMR did you even read my post? I said if you are going to charge then in series you need to use then in series. IE not take one battery and run a radio or whatever and use the other one in a different 12V usage. If you try and charge two differently discharged 12V batteries and charge them in...

Also make sure the in-tank pump is working when you turn on the...
