Count me in. Thanks

I am going to PM you now.

That would be great! I am looking for a pulled engine. If anyone knows where I can get one...[thumbzup]

Does anyone know a place to take an M1009 for engine repair? My mechanic just diagnosed the reason for the oil light turning on when the engine is hot. Sand. aua He says that the bearings and camshaft are scored and the engine needs replacing at the tune of $7000. I don't know if that is a...

HENDERSONJ: I never knew a tray adapter existed. A cursory internet search brought up a tray for Optima batteries. Was this what you were talking about? I don't know if these are adaptable to other civi batteries. Do you know if it works with other battery types or are there other trays I...

Battery temperature and wood Thanks for the input, friends. [thumbzup] I was concerned about the heat disipation of the batteries next to wood. Could wood adjacent to the battery cause problems under heavy battery load or improper charging issue ? ? ? Also, is it okay to have touching...

In retrospect, I wish I looked harder for group 31 batteries. They seem to be the simplest solution.

BigRed, the batteries do look small, they have about 800 cca. They are AGM batteries that have a good deep cycle.

I tried to search in the forum to find out how my friends are mounting civi batteries. (There is one thread called "M1008 battery tie downs" but the posts are purged.) I have a M1009 with new batteries 11" x 7" x 8" and have to create a proper mount for them. Can you give me typical...

This just happened to me last week. Both batteries had over 12.4 V, but I replaced both batteries (they were original military batteries) and it came to life. The hardest part is building a mount for the new smaller batteries. Just warning you in advance. :doh: Good luck.

This should be standard equipment. 2cents

No resistance to the lightbulb over my head I see what you mean now. A resistor is not constant. I always thought a resistor was a limiter, or a reducer, like connecting a straw to a hose. Thank you doghead for explaining it. CUCV Electric's website was great. Thanks for sharing. (For...

Is there a post that explains this? This is not the first time I am hearing about it, but I can't wrap my mind around a resistor that changes the resistance based on the amount of flow. Is there a post on this somewhere? In today's language, one might say it is a "smart resistor". I am...

Tonight, I measured the voltage to the glow plug relay and found it was getting a full 24+ volts. Decided that phase two was more important. I took apart the gp resistor and found it was burnt out. I cut the wire, added a new terminal and bolted it to the 12v diamond bus above. Phase 2 is...

Abbylind, I just researched this and got some good information. "Antisieize makes it impossible to obtain proper torque." Autolite.com says, "Anti seize compounds are typically composed of metallic, electrically conductive ingredients. If anti seize compounds come in contact with the core...

GPrez, good info. I found the tools you are referring to, the OTC 6005 (min $70 on Ebay) and the jjandaracing.com Glow Plug Tool ($95 + shipping). Both grab the threads of the gp and forces it out as it lifts. They both seem a little pricey for something used so seldom. One thing I could do...

I just bought one for $40 and plan to put it on the hood on the passenger's side like Darwin from Texas described. For standard batteries, I think everyone should consider de-sulphation tool. I happen to think Solargizer did a great job at that price. I wouldn't have considered it if it...

Does anyone know why I have to raise the piston to the "top dead center" in order to get out a broken gp tip? I have not seen any advice on this site to do this so it sounds like an engine movement I would not want to do when there is a broken tip. Concerned and confused

Thanks, Mistaken1. I have all the TMs downloaded (and use them frequently) but can't find a GP system flowchart to save my life. But I think I found what Doghead was talking about, page 2-62 of TM 20, "Electrical Troubleshooting - Glow Plug Module". It isn't a flowchart but it takes me leaps...

Thanks, CPF240. I am very glad you saw that I accidentally referred to a 12 volt bypass. I will look for a good link.
