Do you still have the 24 to 12 volt resistor on the firewall behind the engine on the firewall hooked up? If you don't, I would suggest you do a load test on the front battery because the glow plug relay chattering like you describe could be caused by not enough umph at the end of the glow...

I drove my ex USAF Burb 160 miles last night to a teacher training. 18.9 mpg from the 6.2 with cold a/c. I love mine.

Sorry for the double question post. I only meant to ask the complete question once.

4Hi or 4 LO? I didn't hear it shift out of 1st.

4Hi 4 LO?

The IP and injectors will suffer from the darker/heavier fuels. Figure $600-$1000 to replace the pump and injectors after 20-30K miles when the used oil is run in the 6.2. If you are saving enough by running that instead of diesel and not having those parts last 100K miles. Then go for it...

Had enough suggestions yet? I agree with the general theme of this thread. Check as much stuff as you can and if nothing works, do the IP. Everything mentioned so far will only help no matter what the problem is. When it comes to IP rebuilds. Stanadyne dealers are pretty much your only...

More than likely, it is your injection pump. Time instead of miles kill them.

I just followed the resource tab at the top of the page to the CUCV TM section and then the -20 manual. Appendix F is still there and readable for me.

Stock M715 axles require the lugs tightened to 150 ft-lbs. 10 years of reading other peoples stories on the internet has produced only 2 incidents of wheel/tires taking off on their own. The first one was because the owner got tired of those really hard to remove brake drum screws and didn't...

At least the truck tanks have a civilian tank match up that can be measured. The M1009 doesn't. The TM says 27 or 28 gallons. Yet, the civilian trucks had either 25 or 31 gallon tanks. LMC says the only difference is the depth. 10-3/4" for the 25 gallon or 12-3/4" for the 31 gallon. My...

It has been frustrating some Mark. But a perfect learning experience for Colton. This weeks subject was cutting and welding with a torch. We need to make new floor sections. So, he got to learn how to set up the tanks, torch and cut steel. Then just for fun, I showed him how to weld with...

The volt meter on my M1009 has never pointed at the little tick with both alternators putting out 14.4 volts each. It was always in the green though. Lately, it really doesn't even go into the green with everything working. I have been collecting parts for Colton's RED M1009 for about 2...

Have you pulled and cleaned all the fuses, relays, plugs under the hood, big plug passing through the firewall and all the terminals? What is your volt meter doing when the lights flicker?

Several post above mention the manuals. The manual ending in -20 has a great 70 some odd page trouble shooting section. It also has all the wiring diagrams in the back. I would suggest again that you download or print out the manuals and follow the steps. While it sounds like you have a fuse...

I feel the same way Mark. I prefer MV's over everything else now. Looking good. You just might make the picnic next week. I am just sorry I can't make the truck debut event.

TM 9-2815-237-34 is the manual for the engine. It only mentions lifters with the engine already broken down into sub assemblies. Have you looked at the regular -34 manual?

I had a solenoid stick on me. After pulling it apart I found the contact plate inside the solenoid was bad. It had arced and stuck on. Sounds like you have the same problem. Go with the advice offered in the posts above and move onto the starter being the issue.

I am glad you brought this thread back up. I needed to update my opinion of the redux 28MT. I have been using it just about daily while moving the RED M1009 project around to work on it. That thing sure does spin the engine fast. It also seems to be nicer to the batteries. We started the...

As mentioned above, both alternators were charging even though the ALT 2 light wasn't coming on. Again, we had voltage with the key on at the back of the gauge panel where the light goes. Just, no light. I plugged in a stock volt meter at the volt meter plug and it didn't show a thing. I...
