The boot is probably ripped. Replacing it is the only thing to do. Search through other threads about replacing them, buy up the parts/tools and tear into it. This is a great chance to inspect/replace wheel cylinders, inspect/replace brake shoes, inspect/replace/repack wheel bearings...

They are probably comprable. The Sylvania version in my mind is a great product because it is very much brighter and pretty darn cheap at our local parts store. You being in a different country might have different regulations to deal with as far as what is legal to use. If you are going to...

The factory for these truck center consoles had a little strap that held them. If you add the factory console or make your own. Straps can be added real easy.

I got mine from ABLinn. I think the last set was around $25.00 on Ebay. I am sure others have them to sell as well.

Um, I thought all the OA-331 engines had a Holley 885 carb? I know both of mine do. Anyway, here is a manual for the Holley: Holley 885 / 885FFG carb manual

I found that the little raised corner rib goes to the outside of the truck. Which matches up with the picture a few post up: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/paint-bodywork/19367-windshield-rubber-install.html

Last summer, I was getting 19-20 mpg in town with the M1009 on stock tires. 20-23 mpg all highway with the stock tires. The 23 mpg run was 430 miles and the outside temps were 107°. Speed never exceeded 64 mph and normally 62 mph gps was my cruising speed. Winter, such as it is in Texas...

I am writing this while trying to stay awake at a teacher conference. I drove the 1009 94 miles to get here this morning. 33x12.50 BFG A/T tires on stock rims. Hummed right along at a super comfortable 62 mph. Those same tires a few months ago had me taking the truck place I don't think my...

A magnet works real good at holding the movable captured nut/threaded plate while swapping out the striker bolts.

Wiring at the starter or a bad starter at first look.

Al, The plug should be "live" along with the lights it relays power for. I didn't say that right. If the brake lights on the vehicle are hot, then the brake light pin in the plug should be hot when the brakes are pushed. Same for running and black out lights. Is that what you wanted to know...

Welcome to the site and follow the above link to get the manuals. The -20 has a huge 70 odd page trouble shooting section. It will walk you through how to check every part of what is causing your troubles.

The external gear seems to be the way the steering wheel is connected to the steering box. Notice the shaft is offset from the box.

I agree it is a load somewhere on the system. However, it could very possibly be a bad voltage regulator as well on one of the alternators. I think it is glow plug related, but just wanted to mention what to check next if you find everything ok.

Here are some more pictures.

Check the metal lines running along the engine valley between the pump and the filter for rust holes. Check al the metal lines from the tank up actually.

Glen, are you really trying to sell some bolster trailers? I know somebody, not me, that wants one real bad is why I ask.

The back light for the gauges are a completly different problem. Except for 1 wire. The ground for the dash lights and about 20 other things on the truck is bolted to the top of the parking brake pedal bracket. Crawl under there, remove the bolt, clean the metal and make sure that ground is...

The theory is that number 10001 was the first truck off the line in 1967. Yours isn't far behind. Is there a build date on the data plate?

14.4 is what you should have at each battery. Something seems to be bad with that one alt.
