    m1009 Arctic Heater fuel pump

    Hi All, I have a M1009 with an arctic heating kit that includes two heaters under the hood, one for the coolant/oil (I believe), and one for the batteries and cab. The coolant/oil heater was disconnected when I got it, but the battery/cab heater worked fine. The fuel pump on the driver side...

    I'm going CRAZY

    I can't figure out what the heck is going on! My m1009 will start on the first crank and run forever at idle or when i rev the motor when it is sitting still. But when I take it for a test drive, I take a left out of my driveway, go 200 yards and take a right, go 100 years and take another...

    fuel delivery

    This is one I haven't found on here yet. The truck will start and run when sitting still, just a faint surge every once in a while. I can even push the throttle for extended periods, no problem. But as soon as I take it for a drive, it starts surging and stalling. After it stalls it takes a...

    alternator

Being a poor mechanic, I have torqued the crossover pipe too much and broken it at the mounting...

    Electrical issue

    I'm a novice, for sure, but I've just finished replacing the passenger side head gasket because I broke the glow plug nearest the firewall. Everything was going relatively smoothly until I tried to hook the batteries back up. I took pictures of the bus bar before I disassembled it, and...

    Voltmeter question

    I have an '85 M1009. It starts just fine after replacing the fuel sensor switch a few weeks ago, however now when I start it and watch the voltmeter, it goes straight up to mid-green for a few seconds and then I hear a click from the dashboard and the needle goes down into the yellow for a few...

    Fuel filter base question

    I have an 85 CUCV that was rough starting. After scouring this forum and eliminating options, I came to the conclusion that the o-ring on my fuel sensor switch was bad. I ordered a new sensor switch, but it was a different and newer version. The new switch either 1) didn't come with a new o-ring...
