Having just installed a new HF radio and accessories on the rear radio rack in the M1009, I wanted to convert the existing 24 volt bus bar to 12 volts. And I wanted to have a better location to access 12 volts other than the one near the glow plug relay. It is limited for high current demands...

Just a reminder and some info for a few of the newer MV owners. It's that time of year again to check your battery connections. Many battery related failures are preventable with some simple preventative maintenance. Winter is coming for many of us and it's always a good idea to do some simple...

I have Classic tags on my M35A2 and Antique on my M1008. I do not have a 5 ton............YET!!

You can get regular plates and pay the going rate for PA tags and most likely commercial insurance. Then you could apply for the Classic tags. In order to qualify for Classic tags, the vehicle must look like it did when it came from the manufacture. Yes, like new with an original factory type...

And a Welcome from Central PA. Karl

I have a M1008 doing a similar thing. The engine starts fine when cold and when it is hot. When the engine is warm it has trouble starting. Just cranks and cranks then it will start after a considerable amount of cranking time. I did find that it would start (when the engine was warm) if I...

Welcome from State College. We are planning on bringing trucks to the car show at Delgrossos on August 5th. You are welcome to come meet a few of us there. Karl

This weekend I managed to get the following done; Took care of 10 pesky riv-nuts. Welded them to the truck. Added new HF radio and antenna. Removed old floor mat, installed new one front and rear. Painted drivers and passenger seat base and seat. Removed dash, painted and reinstalled...

Operated Field Day from W3YA. We made almost 3,000 contacts. Will post some pictures when I get my camera back. Karl

The glow plugs will draw around 100 amps when connected to the front battery with the resistor by passed. Add lights, heater fan, GP's etc ~ 125 amps is my guess. Any accessories that you may have added will increase the current demands. Karl

I grew up in Centre County too. We may of met somewhere along the line. Also a member of the Nittany Amateur Radio Club. Karl

Welcome from Centre County. Karl

No idea, I didn't call to find out.

Thanks 11Echo. And I am just kidding Gimp. I know that it is 4 times the weight of my CUCV and have no intentions of doing it. I backed the 1009 up to it just for the picture. Karl

In my travels yesterday, I found this trailer For Sale. The data plate is very faded and almost unreadable. HET trailer? It still had a GL and EUC Required sticker on it. I thought it would look good "hooked" to my M1009!. Any ideas on what it is? Karl

I ordered a new IP for my M1009 from Oregon Fuel Injection today, model DB2-4544. Rebuilt diesel fuel injector pump, injectors, and turbo for Chevy GM diesel Duramax, 6.6 L, 6.5 L & 6.2 L This will be the second time I have purchased from them. The first IP went in another M1009 and it is...

I used Fat Mat on my M1009. Painted it with the sound reducing paint first and then installed the rattle trap material on top. Seems to be quieter up front. The rear cargo are will be next. Karl

Good job Bill. Now you will have to get it ready for our 4th Fest convoy and display! That should keep you and Rich busy for some time. Let me know if you need any help with the restoration. Where is the truck now? Karl
