    Power unit PE103A

    A neighbor said that he had some military stuff that was given to him and wondered if I wanted it to go with my army truck. Never being one to turn down free stuff, when I got home tonight on my porch were two 5 gallon jerry cans and some kinda power unit thing. What in the world is a...

    M1009 starts, runs like 5 seconds and dies.

    fuel filter sounds like what mine did for awhile. I changed out the fuel filter to a spin on, no problems since. If you think it might be that, bypass the filter you have now and see if it helps. The other thing that worked on mine before I changed the filter was make sure the tank is...

    melted a glow plug wire

    I did notice after the smoke that the wire was up against the engine. If I spilled a little diesel, maybe that led to the short. I guess I now need to replace that particular wire. Is that part something Napa would be able to get? I have never messed with the glow plugs, how hard is that...

    melted a glow plug wire

    So, I completed the fuel filter replacement today on my M1009. Switched to a Napa spin on thanks to the instructions provided by other SS readers. Works great. Started right up, no leaks, no problems. Turned the truck off and went on to other tasks. The wife got home, asked what I had...

    I need an explanation or direction to where I might find this info about the fuel filter on my M1009. There are three hoses on the filter. One coming up from the bottom is the inlet. Why are there two on the right? Obviously one is the outlet, what is the other? I am sure there is a simple...

    Battery problems

    M1009 wont' start. Batteries are dead and won't hold a charge. They are TL6 tagged "new Feb 07". Is that about their life? I looked into replacing them today. The local Interstate warehouse does not stock them, so they don't have blemished ones. The only place in town that I found a TL6...

    The Deuce as my backup generator

    Seems like you could get a heavy duty power inverter and power the items you are talking about. Try DC Power Supplies for Manufacturing, Laboratory, and Testing Applications | Tripp Lite

    How many miles can you go with a M1009

    fuel economy I never go over 350 miles on a full tank. Usually takes about 20 gallons. You don't want to run out of fuel with a diesel.

    Heater

    The heat seems to have gone out in my M1009. It worked fine last year and early this spring. Is there a "usual" problem that I should look for first? The blower blows, the air is just cool/cold. Thanks
