    M1009 Will Not Start

    Look under your intake manifold and see if there is fluid in the valley. Sounds like the injector pump might be leaking. Once you get the air out it's fine, but after sitting it builds up more air. My 1009 did that and it got worse til I got the IP rebuilt.

    Disappearing coolant

    I'd suggest taking the radiator and getting some quotes on prices, I've had a couple of mine repaired for less then $70.

    Need Assistance with Gauges Please

    If you go this route, make sure it's an isolated relay and not grounded through the relay. Same principle as the doghead starter relay mod.

    Disappearing coolant

    If it's the original radiator, you'd be better off getting it repaired as the replacements are thinner construction. Also repair is much cheaper then replacing.

    Disappearing coolant

    If you do try that method, I'd replace the radiator cap afterwards. Don't see how that could be good on the seals. It probably won't hurt it, but rather safe then sorry.

    injector pump??

    Unless I'm mistaken. The pump should be the same as a J code pump, but the top plate will have to be swapped because the HMMWV uses 24 volt.

    M38A1's front axle question

    If there is grease is in the housing, then it sounds like a bad seal.

    Got a M1009 with a 6.5 NA

    To start with, for your fuel losing prime, the two lines coming off the filter housing. They will be on the driver's side of the housing towards the top. I do believe the short one is 3/8 and the long one is 5/16, but don't quote me on that. Look at the larger diameter hose from the filter...

    Recovry, I got both buss bars I just took off a parts truck. I'll make a note to throw them in the truck and then you can take whichever one will work. I'll have to look and see, but I think I have the covers too.
