There was nothing left in the middle. I replaced the wire and the gen meter jumped back up to full. I am gonna look through the manuals and see what fuse was in there. It's jerry rigged for now, and next time I will disconnect the battery. Oops.

Yup. Gen meter is still in the green but a little low.

Wanted to quickly change my belts and had the passenger side alt terminal touch something and got a crack and smoke from the drivers side terminal board just above the glow plug relay. Brown fusible wire. Can I drive to a local shop to pick up a new wire or should I wait for the wife to come...

Sounds like I should get one, Ontario is cold

What is the main advantage to a fuel heater. Is it just for extreme cold temperature?

I ended up getting it made at a local shop. $70 but the truck is finally running again

Any hydraulic shop would be able to make them for you. Not sure on what it would cost though. I was looking into the same thing a couple years ago as I had the rad out and twisted up the old lines getting them off. The dealership told me the vehicle was obsolete and they dont carry the lines. My...

Is there much work to do to convert this over or are you using this as a secondary filter?

I couple months ago I was driving my trusty M1009 home with a full tank of diesel from a friends house in the boonies. About 20 miles from home the truck stalled out and the gas gauge read empty. After getting out of the truck I found the engine compartment and the entire passenger side was...

Epitts, thank you for that Post link. This is invaluable information. I am seriously inspired to do this to my truck now.

EPIC, I am totally stealing that idea!

I am lucky enough to work at a hanger and crossing my fingers that one of our Aircraft has a fuel cell issue so I can get some free JP8 myself. I see the point with some 2 stroke oil as turbine engines dont require lubrication from the fuel. And whenever we do a fuel cell job we vasoline the...

Note to self, buy some of these. My CUCV has been up on the Flat bed a couple times, Thank God for premier AAA. Saved my a $700 tow 2 weeks ago.

**** I was hoping people would say that. Is it an ASAP thing or can I run it like that for a week or 2? Also before the battery issue when I started the truck the the GEN 1 light would come on but as soon as I gave it some gas it would go out. Now the same happens but the gen 2 light comes on...

Well my 1009 wouldnt start yesterday morning. Wouldnt jump start so I took both batteries into a shop to get them tested. The front one was putting out 800 CA I think and the other one was dead. They trinkle charged it over night and it was pooched. So I have been reading on the forums about...

Now that I think of it that is exactly what it is, a needle grease fitting. Thanks alot for that, I am glad I didnt try to drill it out. I do love Vancouver Island, I have lived here most of my life though and am hoping to get posted out east next year. The half a million price tag for a fixer...

Well I replaced all the u-joints on the front shaft. Glad the local Canadian Tire loans tools, got a U-joint puller which came in handy. Better than beating them out like we did when my rear on went on the trip back. Not sure if I messed up the rear yoke that mats to the transfer case but it...

Well you can fix STUPID!!! Took the housing off the shifter and found i need to shift it to the right to get it in neutral (been driving a push button 4x4 for too long) Front shaft doesnt look like its been greased since I was a teenager so I am going to clean it up and probably replace all...

I'm going to take a look at the linkage today, hopefully its just that. Thanks for the info guys

Hey guys, when I picked up my 09 from GL I was told it had a transfer case issue. Wasnt too worried about it at the time but now I am looking into it a bit more. It shifts to Hi but wont go into Neutral. Yes I have it in Neutral and I have read the instructions on my visor. I dont wanna waste...
