Linx310 I remember you from the AK47.net days. I live in Austin shoot AKs and have a M1009 myself. Great minds think alike. :)

I am thinking about buying a Harbor Freight 2K power inverter see below: 2000 Watt Continuous/4000 Watt Peak Power Inverter I would like to use this on my M1009 while engine is idling for short periods 2 -3 hours at night. I think it would be nice to not drag my generator and I like the idea of...

I put in the manual switch and it's running again. I hold the switch for 15-20 seconds, hope this is the right time. I would also like to get my card repaired by 1stSarge, send me your info please.

My options are: Buy another card, not sure of price. Repair card, not sure if anyone here can fix it yet. Put in a manual switch to heat the glow plugs?

Does anyone know what the Radio Shack part is in this pic? http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s62/raf32/gpcard.jpg?t=1297120568

Here is a pic of the other side of the card, if it can be repaired I'm happy to pay. http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s62/raf32/gpcard.jpg?t=1297120356

I checked continuity of glow plugs and it passed. I then yanked my card to discover this, argh! http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s62/raf32/glowplugcard.jpg?t=1297118811 How do I put a manual switch to heat the glow plugs, there is no way I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for a card.

Where is the Glow Plug Card and how is it tested?

I'm going to replace my Glow Plug Relay tomorrow and I want to make sure that the one that is in there now is the correct one. Does everyone's GP relay look like this? My vehicle has been taking longer and longer to start and finally bit the dust. Once it started it ran like a champ so I don't...

I took the top plug off the fuel filter and bumped the starter, it's full of fuel and shot about 6 inches up in a half second. I can see grey smoke coming out of exhaust when turning it over so I think it's getting fuel although I could be wrong.

I've noticed that my M1009 has been taking longer to start 5-10 seconds when left overnight. I cycled the glow plugs twice before turning over and it's not firing up. Can anyone give me a starting point? The engine is turning over quick enough, very fast actually, but not firing up all the...

As some of you know ive had some starting/charging problems. I took the positive and negative bus posts off and thoroughly cleaned all terminals and posts. I discovered that the 3rd ground post had a loose and dirty connection. After cleaning it, she cranked over like a raped ape. thanks to...

Thanks Markg, I'll try a few more things tomorrow and will be in touch this week.

I am still having my battery/charging issues here is where I'm at with my M1009 charging/starting problem: Unhooked both batteries and charged them to full separately and when I installed them, the vehicle still turned over slow and would not start. The loca shop says my drivers side alt is...

I'm going to replace the front battery tomorrow, this just stinks of bad battery.

The ground cable was replaced and it turned over great for a while. Now it won't hold a charge and just clicks when I try and start it, argh!

OK, it finally started!! After charging the batteries I removed the charger and began cranking it over. It turned over slow even with the full charge, batteries are 2 years old. On the 3rd try it turned over very fast and cranked right up! Any idea what could be going on here? Thanks...

Markg, I sent you a message, I can be reached at russfriesz@gmail.com Thanks for any help!

Here is a pic of the engine bay:

I believe the mileage because I looked at over 30 CUCV vehicles before this one. The interior and body are very clean and the underbody and components are very nice, windshield is spotless and most of the body rubber trim parts are in great shape. The metal floor boards on the front driver and...
